Pay attention to the eightieth birthday
Pay attention to the eightieth birthday. The eightieth birthday is a very important event. There are many things to pay attention to when holding the 80th birthday, so as to do it well. The following is some information I have compiled for you about your eightieth birthday. Let's have a look!
80th birthday concern 1.
Dress taboo
Clothing for birthday celebrations should be bright colors, such as red and yellow. Don't wear all black and white clothes, and don't wear black and white clothes.
Gift giving taboo
Older people will be more particular. Pay attention to some old people's taboos when giving gifts. Can't send the clock. The sound of "sending the clock" is as unlucky as "sending it out"
You can't send pears, because "pear" and "Li" are homophonic, and the meaning and metaphor are separate. Don't send an umbrella. "Umbrella" and "scattered" are homophonic. Can not send shoes, "shoes" and "evil" homophonic, unlucky. Can't send lights, "light" and "pedal" are homophonic, and the elderly are also very taboo. Don't send medicine to healthy people.
Salute taboo
Birthday salute, in the past, was generally the same generation holding fists and bowing; The younger generation bowed; There is a place where children and grandchildren bow down. Now peers generally change to shake hands; The younger generation or grandchildren only need to bow. For example, the "birthday girl" is rather old-fashioned. If you want to make an old gift but don't want to, you can find an excuse to avoid it and don't refuse it on the spot, so as not to cause unhappiness.
Verbal taboo
Birthdays are auspicious days, and congratulations, praises and other auspicious languages should be the main ones. Not only for the birthday girl, but also for the relatives and guests of the birthday girl. All controversial topics are not suitable for birthday activities or dinner. Even if you have had unpleasant things with someone in the past, be generous and put the past aside. ? The banquet should be moderate, and you should not get drunk, so as not to lose your manners or manners.
Gifts cannot be taken back.
At the end of the birthday celebration, the host family sometimes gives some appropriate gifts to the guests, commonly known as "greetings". In this regard, the birthday party should refuse to accept.
Old people live to be nine, but not ten.
1, more than nine but not more than ten
In many places, there is an emphasis on celebrating the nine-year-old but ten-year-old birthdays of the elderly, which means that each birthday is celebrated one year in advance. For example, when they are seventy, they will celebrate their birthday at sixty-nine. This emphasis on feng shui has two points. First of all, in our traditional understanding, the number "nine" is homophonic with China's word "long", which has a long and auspicious meaning and also represents the hope that the elderly will live a long life.
In the same way, "ten" is homophonic with "death" in Chinese, so people are quite taboo. Celebrating one year in advance also takes the homonym of "never leaving ten" and "never leaving ten" in China's "never leaving ten" sentence, and also expresses the blessing for the health and longevity of the elderly.
On the other hand, the term "ten" is the biggest in Feng Shui, and there is another cognition in China that "when the moon is full, something will be lost" and "when things get too extreme", so it is taboo to celebrate the birthday of the elderly at the age of ten, and many places have the principle of not putting it off in advance, so they will choose to celebrate their birthdays one year in advance.
2, men celebrate near, women celebrate full.
In geomantic omen, some places also distinguish between sexes when giving birthdays to the elderly, while giving birthdays to men and women means that men should celebrate their birthdays one year in advance, and "near" means the year closest to the whole year. A woman has to celebrate her birthday at the age of one.
The reason for this is that men are positive, women are negative, and nine is the largest positive number, so it is appropriate to celebrate a man's birthday one year in advance, while ten years old is yin, which is just suitable for a woman's birthday.
3, every nine.
The third statement means that no matter when the nominal age reaches nine years old or multiples of nine, as long as the age related to nine years old is celebrated, because there is a saying in Feng Shui that every nine years is unlucky and prone to disasters, so we should gather everyone to send blessings to the elderly in nine years, hoping that this year will be safe and smooth.
Pay attention to the two-day taboo when celebrating the 80th birthday.
The 80th birthday is not casual, so we should pay attention to the taboo of birthday date. New Year's Eve, the 15th day of the first month, July 12th and July 27th are not suitable. This is a traditional sacrifice day. If the old man's birthday falls in these days, it is unlucky to celebrate his birthday ahead of time and choose a sacrifice day.
Banquet taboo starts after 12.
80th birthday, but also pay attention to the start time of the banquet, which needs to be before 12. If the banquet is held after 12 o'clock, it is easy to reverse Yin and Yang, and the gas field is disordered, which is not conducive to Feng Shui.
The old man is not feeling well.
Celebrating the 80th birthday of the elderly is a blessing and a kind of respect. However, if the elderly are unwell, it is not suitable to celebrate their 80th birthday, which is inconsistent with the theme of 80th birthday. Besides, if the old man is not feeling well, he is not in the mood to live long.
