From 0 years old to 100 years old, why did the ancients call age so beautiful?

The words of the ancients have always been concise, and often three words can explain the most beautiful meaning. Recently, I have been fascinated by the appellation of the ancients. From the age of zero to the age of 100, the appellation in different stages is often very different, but each has its own artistic conception, which makes people want to know more.

First time: birthday. "The emperor took Yu away for the first time and gave him a good name." When the word first appeared, the simple "beginning" revealed the beauty at the beginning of life.

The period of soup and cake: three days after the baby is born. On the third day after the child was born, parents hosted a banquet to entertain relatives and friends, calling the children in this period "the soup and cake period".

Naked child: a newborn baby. It can't help but remind people of the cute appearance of the whole body when the child was born into this world and his eyes were not fully opened.

Infants: generally refers to children under 1 year, and now refers to infants under one year old. In ancient times, parents wrapped their babies under one year old with small quilts and strings to avoid injury.

General Angle: Teenagers aged eight or nine to thirteen or fourteen. In ancient times, children often divided their hair into two halves and tied them into two small claws like horns on the top of their heads, so they were called "total horns".

Cardamom: a woman aged thirteen or fourteen to fifteen or sixteen. Cardamom is mostly open in early summer, which makes it tender and smooth. Girls are as lovely as cardamom.

Weak crown: the man is 20 years old. In ancient times, men crowned themselves at the age of twenty to show that they had reached adulthood. However, because I just came of age, I put the word "weak" in front of it.

Know destiny: 50 years old. After the age of 50, I gradually realized that it was difficult to pursue my ideals, so I was open-minded and stopped blindly pursuing fame and fortune.

Gu Xi: This man is 70 years old. In ancient times, people who lived to 70 years old were very rare, so the word "rare" was added at the end.
