Question 2: What's the significance of celebrating the eightieth birthday?
In the past, rich families began to celebrate their birthdays at the age of 60. Birthdays are generally sent invitations to relatives, friends and classmates 1 month in advance, and the birthday hall is arranged three days in advance. In the center of Shoutang, there is an eight immortals high chair covered with brocade, and there is an eight immortals table covered with tablecloth in front of the chair. 1 pairs of big gold candles are lit on the candle tray on the table, and 1 long drawing table is placed on the wall behind the chair. Put a clock in the middle of the table, and put 1 bottle cap with scroll on the left and right of the clock. On the wall is a life screen with 1 hat and gold lettering on red paper.
On the birthday, the person who sent the shroud wore a brocade shroud and sat in a high chair in the middle. The daughter-in-law and grandchild bowed and gave the grandchild money (wrapped in red paper).
The next day was the most lively, receiving guests, relatives and friends who came to congratulate. When a guest sends a birthday present to the gate, the gong-drummer knocks a double-tone gong and shouts "Here comes the guest". The band played music and suona, silk and bamboo sang together. The birthday man sat in a high chair with his eldest son standing beside him. Relatives and friends of the same generation bow in class and call it "birthday". Birthday people get up and return the gift. If subordinates and younger generations bow in class, their sons will reciprocate them. If the tenant comes to congratulate, he will not be allowed to go to class, but will accept the birthday present, take him to the kitchen for dinner, and then leave. If the boss comes to congratulate, the birthday person will go down to class immediately, bow and accompany him into the living room to chat.
After the birthday party, a banquet is held to invite wine, which usually lasts for 3 days. Birthday dinner is the most abundant, called dinner. There must be a peach with a bud (commonly known as "Shoutaozui") in the hearts of several powder spots at the old custom banquet. When guests eat peaches, they shouldn't eat buds. They should break off the buds and put them on the table first, which means that future generations will live longer.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the custom of celebrating birthdays has been basically abolished.
Nowadays, people still have the custom of making and sending birthdays. When the elders celebrate their birthdays, the daughter-in-law cooks something that the elderly love to eat and invites them to dinner, commonly known as "making birthdays". Married daughters will get some birthday noodles, cakes, birthday cakes and so on, and some even make new clothes.
Birthday:
Traditionally, birthdays celebrated before the age of 50 are called "inner wishes", which means celebrating birthdays at home.
The 50th birthday can only be called "birthday". Relatives and friends should also give gifts to celebrate the birthday, and then do it every ten years, which is called a big birthday.
Birthdays are generally called by age, which are as follows:
Fifty years old: warm life, half a hundred years old;
Sixty years old; Call the little beast;
Seventy years old: named Zhongshou;
Eighty years old: named Shangshou, Dashou;
Ninety years old; Name is Lao Jiang Tianshou;
One hundred years old: call it a period.
General birthday activities are initiated by later generations. In addition to arranging the birthday hall, we should also prepare offerings to worship the gods and ancestors and prepare birthday banquets to entertain relatives and friends. In the dishes of birthday party, pig's trotters noodle line is essential. The pig's trotters are strong, and the upper thread is long. Birthday stars live long and healthy lives. When eating noodles, you should pull the noodles higher and longer, which means that the birthday girl will live longer. It is forbidden to bite them halfway. Relatives and friends who have been to their birthdays will celebrate their birthdays with gift boxes, wine or red envelopes, and the host will give back birthday peaches, red eggs, pork knuckle noodles and red turtles. The married daughter should send chickens, eggs, peaches, turtles, clothes, gold ornaments and red envelopes to celebrate her mother's birthday; Adding shoes, hats, clothes and red envelopes to father's birthday is commonly called "birthday celebration" or "birthday celebration".

Birthday celebrations for the elderly (over 50 years old) are called birthdays every ten days, such as "50th birthday", "60th birthday" and "70th birthday". But this kind of birthday is not really every ten years, but refers to 49, 59, 69 and so on. Because nine is the largest number among ten numbers, people have formed this custom of celebrating "nine does not celebrate ten" in order to get lucky. Send invitations to your close relatives and friends before your birthday, usually three days before your birthday, otherwise it is impolite. As the saying goes, "three days is an invitation, two days is a call, and the same day is a belt."

Birthday worship is also called "birthday celebration" Relatives and friends came to congratulate the old man on his birthday. Gifts are mostly peaches, noodles, cloth, cakes with birthday characters. Cloth, commonly known as "Shouzhang", is hung around the ceiling in the yard for guests to see. Write some auspicious words and the sender's name on the birthday account. Men are often endowed with words such as "the benevolent lives long" and "your life is infinite", while women are endowed with words such as "Pengdao Ai Chun" and "Long life".
Shoutang is generally located in the hall, with a curtain on the front and couplets on both sides, such as "longevity is like the East China Sea" and "longevity is better than the South Mountain". On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are incense burners, wax thousand, longevity wax, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the core monument of life to prolong life, and yellow money, paper ingots and thousands of pieces hanging on both sides of the case. There are foods symbolizing longevity on the long table, such as longevity peaches and noodles. There is a red mat on the ground in front of the square table for worshippers to bow down. People over the same age hold hands, while those below kowtow.
Snuff, flowers for lanterns, twisted into the shape of flowers with colored lantern paper and dipped in sesame oil. The number of snuff is two more than the age of the long-lived people, one is the "animal year" and the other is the "longevity year". In the evening, people who celebrate their birthdays burn incense. Each of their children is holding a lamp tray. They line up outside the door and burn incense with magic codes and money for worshipping God.
There is an old saying in Beijing: "Thirty-three turns, sixty-six die, seventy-three, eighty-four go without asking." "People live fifty-five, and the ghost king counts." 33, 55, 66, 73 and 84 are all two years. People think that people can live long if they live well at this age, or they will die. In order to live longer, people are more careful in Kaner Year and try to "crack" it so as to live longer. The common method is to wear a red cloth belt. It is said that red can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Old Beijing also has the custom of wearing a red cloth belt in the animal year and after 60 years old.
