Why don't women celebrate their 4th birthdays
There is a folk saying that women's 4th birthdays can't be held in a big way, because before their birthdays, they had family members to worry about and friends to accompany them, and family members and friends could hold their own birthdays. But 4 years old is a crucial time for a woman, with parents-in-law above and children under 2 years old. At this stage, it is important to contribute to the family. If you hold a 4th birthday party, you will lose your life, which is also very bad for the fortune at home.
In rural areas, there is a saying, "If you worship three instead of four, something will happen." This means that if you can't hold a birthday party on your 4th birthday, you can only spend it at home with your family, or don't hold this year's birthday, otherwise you will lose your life. Therefore, women only celebrate their 4th birthday.
contraindications for women's birthdays
You can't have two birthdays a year
Modern people like to have birthdays, and some have birthdays twice a year, one in the Gregorian calendar and one in the lunar calendar. There are people who have three birthdays when they meet a leap month. In fact, this is not good. In "Zhuangzi", Zhuangzi said that there is a Toona sinensis tree with 8 years as spring and 8 years as autumn, and its year is 32 years, so this Toona sinensis tree has a very long life. Therefore, traditionally, having one birthday is one year longer, and having two birthdays a year is equivalent to two years longer. Having two birthdays a year is equivalent to accelerating the cycle. This is very unlucky.
It's not appropriate to do big things around the age of 6
In the traditional theory, 6 Jia is a reincarnation, and after a reincarnation, everything will return to the starting point. Therefore, the ancients believed that people's health, luck, life expectancy, etc. would undergo severe tests around the age of 6; Around the age of 6 is the key point of life and death, so this period is not suitable for "birthday", even if "birthday" should be carried out secretly, so as not to disturb the terrifying and be arrested. The Book of Changes says "seven days to come back", which means seven days from the sun's spirit is stripped to coming back. However, people think that birthdays are the same. After seven years, that is, at the age of 67, one enters another cycle, after which one can have a normal birthday.
