Human life is short for a few decades, and in this long journey, everyone longs to live happily and happily. However, due to their respective families and jobs, it is difficult for everyone to get together often. At this time, the birthday of the elders in the family becomes an important opportunity. Every time the elder's birthday, the family will gather together to celebrate the birthday of the elder.
In some areas, the significance of celebrating the birthday of the elderly is particularly important. They believe that birthday celebrations can not only prolong the life of the elderly, but also add joy to the family. However, birthday celebrations are not held randomly, and there are some precautions that need to be understood when handling them. There is a proverb that says: "There are three longevity, but the offspring are blessed", in order to make future generations happier, it is best not to ignore the three longevity of the elderly.
1. Not too old before the age of 60.
For the elderly, it is not advisable to live before the age of 60, and this traditional rule has a long history. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and people's life expectancy was relatively short, so when there was a 60-year-old person in the family, people wanted to take this opportunity to reunite and express their blessings and wishes. Therefore, after the age of 60, it marks the official entry into old age.
2. Parents are still alive.
When your parents are alive, you will always be their child, no matter how old you are. The so-called "with parents, forever young", this is also the truth. Therefore, it is not advisable to live a long life while the parents are alive. Although 60 is an important age, if your parents are still alive, it is not appropriate to celebrate excessively. In traditional Chinese culture, the main reason for children not to live long is to show the traditional concept of respecting the elders and caring for the young.
3. Frail and sick, but not long-lived.
As we age, it is normal for the human body to experience various health problems. The human body is like a machine, and after a long period of operation, there will be problems with the parts. At this time, the elderly need to take good care of their bodies and rest more. For such an elderly person, it is best not to live a long life, because it takes time and energy to prepare, deal with various affairs, and also face the pressure of social socializing.
"There are three longevity, and there are many blessings for children and grandchildren", in fact, the core idea is still to inherit the way of "filial piety". The ancients said that they do not live long, but it is still to promote the values of respecting the elderly and respecting life, and also to pray for the health and longevity of the elderly. If you have entered the stage of old age, may you be as happy as today every year, and have the joy of today every year, and if you are still young, then cherish your youth and spend more time with the elderly in your family!
"Birthday Celebration"
Text/Cao Xianmin
Green cypress and green pine around the jade hall,
The sun is setting.
Nanshan immortal pine evergreen,
The North Sea is a long water that grows by itself.
The flowers bloom in the prosperous age,
Every year, people are happy to meet Chongyang.
仙家日月壶中里,
Drunk and dreaming of his hometown.
Carry forward the excellent Chinese culture
Promote the progress of social civilization!
