Is it lucky to have a premature birthday?

Birthdays can be advanced, but not postponed. In folk customs, postponing birthdays violates the taboo of geomantic omen and is a way to commemorate the dead, rather than to celebrate the birthday of the living, which is not good in sense. Birthday is the birthday when a person is born. Whenever a birthday is celebrated, it represents a new life.

Therefore, people attach great importance to birthdays and even prepare to celebrate them in advance. Postpone the birthday is meaningless, it is just to commemorate, not to celebrate the arrival of life, so there is no need to celebrate the birthday. Postpone the birthday not to celebrate the birthday of the living, but to commemorate the dead. Sometimes we may not be able to remember the dead at that time, so we need some time to remember.

Birthday significance

Birthday, as its name implies, is the day when a person is born. Generally speaking, in China, people pay more attention to the birthdays of the elderly and children. Every birthday is a family gathering. In the tradition of China, birthday noodles and eggs are eaten on birthdays. The west wind is coming, and young people celebrate with cakes and candles. Birthday is actually an anniversary to commemorate the day when a person came into this world.

Europeans in the Middle Ages believed that birthdays were the day when the soul was most easily invaded by demons, so on birthdays, relatives and friends would get together to give blessings and send cakes to bring good luck to drive away demons. At first, only kings were entitled to eat birthday cakes. Today, both adults and children can buy a beautiful cake on their birthdays and enjoy the blessings from everyone.
