Preamble:
In traditional Chinese culture, respecting the old and loving the young has always been a manifestation of the style of etiquette advocated by people, and respecting and blessing the elders has always been what we have to do.
In the way of respecting the elders, especially on the birthdays of some elders, the whole family will be very careful to prepare some ceremonies, and there are some messages to express blessings to the elders and hope for the elders' longevity.
It is said that only when these details are in place, can we bring good life to the elders and good blessings to the descendants.
The meaning of "but plum blossom pile".
The so-called "but plum blossom pile" refers to the fact that plum blossom piles cannot be used and placed at the birthday banquet of the elders. Hearing this statement, some people may really hear of the plum blossom pile for the first time, in fact, the plum blossom pile is also the plum blossom bamboo basket. In our lives, the appearance of plum blossom piles is likely to be at some birthday banquets, especially at some important birthday banquets.
In fact, this saying originated from some superstitious traditions of the people, the meaning symbolized by the plum blossom pile is very beautiful, it is considered to be the meaning of "long life", so when the life expectancy, the use of plum blossom pile is the practice of bringing good blessings to the elders.
But on the other hand, we must also know that the auspicious and beautiful meaning contained in the plum blossom pile is also easy to be disturbed by some disasters, so in order to avoid the occurrence of this kind of accident, the folk began to have the "but plum blossom pile" of the exquisite.
It is also hoped that in this way, everyone will be reminded that some hosts need to be cautious when preparing for the birthday banquet, so as to bring true blessings to the ancestors and elders.
The meaning of "but immortal peach".
Of course, in addition to being particular about the plum blossom pile, there are many dietary delicacies related to longevity at the birthday banquet of the elders. For example, at many birthday banquets, there will be the so-called "longevity peach", and longevity peach is also a kind of food that is loved by people.
In the meaning of longevity, longevity peach also plays a very important role, so in the birthday banquet of some elders, "longevity peach" is also one of the indispensable foods, and it is also a way to carry people's blessings to the elders.
However, when eating longevity peaches, we should pay attention to the particularity of eating longevity peaches, and there are still some things that we need to follow.
One of the most important points is that when you eat longevity peaches, you can't eat longevity peaches. The so-called immortal peach refers to the peach that means immortality, but at the birthday banquet, it has a completely different meaning.
We can see that the bark of the immortal peach is red, and in traditional Chinese culture, red is easily associated with some words related to "demon", so the immortal peach is easily associated with "demon", and when eating the immortal peach, it is like summoning demons, which is very likely to bring some disasters to the family.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, no matter when it is, it is absolutely unacceptable to eat longevity peaches, and it is also necessary to remember that "but longevity peaches".
The meaning of "not to say longevity".
Of course, the exquisiteness and taboos at the birthday banquet are not limited to the placement of food and the choice of diet, but also have many details that need our attention in some birthday celebrations.
Especially in the birthday ceremony of the elders, whether it is the birthday ceremony of the big birthday or some other birthday banquets, there are many taboos and exquisiteness that people do not expect.
For example, on the birthday of an elder, when the elder toasts to the guest, we will express our blessings to the elder when we return the salute, and on such occasions, we should remember to be cautious in our words.
Especially when paying tribute to the elders, you must not speak lightly of the word longevity.
The so-called longevity refers to some words associated with longevity, such as "longevity and longevity" and "blessing such as the East China Sea", in the general blessing ceremony, such words can certainly bring some good blessings to people, but on the occasion of the birthday banquet, it is easy to bring some disasters to the elders when they say such words.
At the time of the birthday, the disaster must not be touched, so in such a birthday ceremony, we must remember to use other blessings to pay tribute to the elders, such as "Shoubi Nanshan" and "Fu Lu Shuangquan", only in this way can we bring real blessings to the elders.
It can be seen that the traditional culture of "longevity has three buts" is still observed and inherited in some local families, especially in the homes of some older generations, who will pay more attention to such traditions.
Whether we are particularly concerned about these exquisiteness, but the respect and good blessings for the elders contained in it are what we need to inherit and learn, and we hope that through such exquisiteness, more people can understand the charm of traditional culture, and can better respect the elders in daily life, and bring real blessings and warmth to the people around them.
