What's so important about your 66th birthday?
In the past, there was a saying among the people: If you count the number of people who passed the fifty-fifth day, you won't die at sixty-six, and the seventy-third or eighty-fourth day won't ask yourself to go. This is the hurdle. If you want to pass it, you can live a long life, and "people live 66 years and eat their daughter's flesh", all of which are expectations for longevity, peace and health.
Therefore, on your 66th birthday, you should eat the rice sent by your daughter and celebrate your birthday. If you are so lively and popular, you will not be invited to dinner by Yan. Although I don't know whether this statement is true or not, it is a good wish for people.
Although some sayings are superstitious, for people, believing is a wish. When people can live is unknown. When living in the present, only wishes can make people live comfortably, so that they can live happily and live longer.
