Because noodles have the longest history among Chinese foods, eating longevity noodles is simple and easy, and it also has the meaning of prolonging life. Even poor civilians will not have much difficulty in executing it.

No more than ten years old:
In many places, there is a tradition of celebrating the birthdays of the elderly but not ten years old. This means that every time you are a full year old, you must celebrate your birthday one year in advance. For example, when you are seventy years old, you should celebrate your birthday at the age of sixty-nine. There are two points in Feng Shui. First, in our traditional understanding, the number "nine" has the same pronunciation as "jiu" in Chinese, which has a long history. It has a long-lasting auspicious meaning and also represents the hope that the elderly will live long. ?
For the same reason, "十" is a homophone for "death" in Chinese, so people are quite taboo. Celebrating birthdays one year in advance also takes the homophonic pronunciation of "never leaves ten" and "never leaves this world" in the Chinese saying "never leaves ten", which also expresses blessings for the elderly's health and longevity.
On the other hand, "ten" has the biggest meaning in Feng Shui. In China, there is also a belief that "when the moon is full, it will lose money" and "things will turn to their extremes", so it is taboo to celebrate the birthdays of the elderly. Birthdays are celebrated in the year when one turns ten, and in many places there is a principle of celebrating birthdays in advance rather than later, so they will choose to celebrate the birthdays of the elderly one year in advance. ?
