#寻找热爱表达的你#现在农村, there are still a lot of people who follow the traditional Chinese culture, pay attention to traditional folk customs, inherit the traditional culture and customs of the Chinese nation, and carry forward the national spirit.
Therefore, in daily life and social affairs, it is still based on the traditional Five Elements Doctrine, Yang and Yin are matched, mutual restraint is born, Confucianism is also respected, and benevolence, righteousness and morality are all traditional Chinese culture.
The old people in the countryside said that anyone who celebrates their birthday when they are old is accustomed to celebrating the birthday of the elderly, so there is a saying that "there are 3 years of longevity, and the descendants are blessed". It is formed by the doctrine and exquisiteness of which sect.
(1) 60 years old is not too long.
When a person lives to be 60 years old, exactly 60 years is the time of a Jiazi and the reincarnation of a Jiazi.
Rural people believe that once a person has lived a reincarnation, it means that he has entered old age and belongs to the elderly.
So on the birthday, the family and the surrounding relatives and friends should celebrate the longevity of the elderly on this day, congratulate the elderly on their healthier and longevity, happiness and health, and place good wishes on the elderly.
However, the 60th birthday of the old man will not be celebrated, there are three reasons, one is the fear of committing Tai Sui, Tai Sui is the god who is believed to be in charge of all things in heaven and earth, because Jiazi is the concept of calculating the time of the sun, moon and stars, which is in charge of Tai Sui, so it is taboo to make a birthday for the old man at the age of 60.
The second is that the folk have the emphasis on "doing nine not ten", therefore, when the elderly are 60 years old, they can only do life at the age of 59, and never do life at the age of 60.
The basis for this kind of exquisiteness is the fear of offending Tai Sui, and the second is the need for yang and yin to cooperate to achieve the concept of auspiciousness, and the formation of a kind of exquisiteness, has become a traditional habit of the folk to make longevity for the elderly.
The third is that the folk of nine and ten are particular, the traditional customs believe that "nine" has the meaning of a long time, the pronunciation of "ten" is the same as "death", and it is very taboo to "die" when celebrating the birthday of the elderly, so it is important to celebrate the birthday of the elderly at the age of 59, 69, 79, 89 years old, etc., indicating that the old man has a long and longer life.
Fourth, according to the traditional theory of yin and yang, "nine" is a "yang number" in numbers, "ten" is a "yin number", and the meaning of the yin number is very inauspicious, and it is related to "death", therefore, when celebrating the birthday of the elderly, they will avoid the whole ten numbers when celebrating their birthdays, such as 60 years old, 70 years old, 80 years old, etc.
(2) Seventy-three years old is not too long.
Why can't the elderly celebrate their birthday at the age of 73? The main reason is that people respect the founder of Confucianism, which is a manifestation of respect for "Confucianism".
Confucius is the founder of the "Confucian" school and a respected representative of the orthodox culture of all dynasties, which defined Confucianism as the orthodox culture, and no one can offend Confucianism and Confucianism.
Confucius lived for 73 years before he died, therefore, in order to respect Confucianism, no one will offend the originator of Confucianism, and no one will compare life expectancy with Confucius, so when the old people are 73 years old, in order to avoid it, they will not celebrate their birthday at this time, this habit has been done since ancient times, and no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world.
In addition, there is a traditional folk saying, "seventy-three, to climb the mountain", "mountaineering" meaning, in ancient times it refers to the death of people, buried on the mountain, therefore, this statement is too inauspicious, unlucky, so, folk tradition is used to celebrate the birthday of the elderly, to avoid 73 years old to do longevity.
(3) Eighty-four years old does not live long.
When the old man is 84 years old, he generally does not celebrate his birthday, because Mencius, one of the founders of Confucianism, died at the age of 84.
There is a saying among the people, "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Yama does not call himself to go", all of which are aimed at the maximum life span of Confucius and Mencius, therefore, since ancient times, the folk have taken these two years as the limit of the maximum age, so it is unlucky to celebrate the birthday of the old man at this time, which means that the maximum life span of the old man, and offended the "sage", which is something that ordinary people cannot do.
