Every parent's 66th birthday should be celebrated. At that time, the married daughter should be the birthday of her father or mother, and the pork leg should be cut into 66 small pieces. Generally, 66 pieces of small fresh meat are braised in brown sauce, covered with a bowl of rice, put in a vegetable basket with a pair of chopsticks, covered with red cloth, and given to the owner of the birthday girl for tasting to show his birthday.
Some people change flexibly according to Zhu Shou's taste, instead of braising in soy sauce, they use other cooking methods, but all of them must be 66 yuan. Sixty-six pieces of meat symbolize the longevity of the old man.

There is also a custom that a 66-year-old man will celebrate his birthday on June 6, no matter when he is born. The married daughter will go back to her parents' home for her birthday on this day. The gift is a piece of fat meat, so there is a folk saying "eat a piece of meat".
When cutting meat, you need to cut it across the board from top to bottom. No matter how many kilograms, you only pay attention to "one knife" and don't return the knife. When the old man eats this piece of meat, he should sit on the threshold and eat it. It is said that he can live 66 years after eating meat in this way, which means that he hopes to live a long life.
