Why do old people always say that a certain age is a hurdle? After this hurdle, you can live for decades.

In real life, many people think that 73 and 84 are "taboo years" for the elderly. So, how did the two age figures "73 and 84" come from? This is because the life span of Confucius and Mencius is 73 years old and 84 years old respectively, and the ancients designated this age as the "taboo year". At this age, saints are easy to die, let alone ordinary people. Thus, this superstition has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Kaner Theory" of feudal superstition. There are two sentences in China Proverbs. One sentence said: "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the prince was uninvited." What if I don't want to go? The second sentence tells you: "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of hell wants to discuss things with you." Why have two "common proverbs" been circulating in China for more than two thousand years? I think this is not only a coincidence, but also related to thousands of years of feudal superstition. Confucius (Qiu), the most sage in China, lived 73 years (about 55 1-479 BC), and Mencius (Ke), the most sage, lived 84 years (372-289 BC). Since all saints have lived to this age and died, do you still want to surpass them? Don't propose a toast ("please"), don't eat, eat ("call") wine.

In fact, there is no "taboo year" in a person's life. I believe that "seventy-three, eighty-four, the ghost king went uninvited" is just much ado about nothing and has no scientific basis. In my opinion, it can only bring mental depression to the elderly, making many elderly people of this age depressed, anxious, nervous and uneasy all day long, which seriously affects their health and longevity.
