"Men are not more than 88 and women are not more than 77" is a traditional saying, which mainly involves people's life span and physiological characteristics. This statement originated from China's ancient cultural concept and is interpreted from the following aspects:
1, the male does not exceed 88: This means that men will face health challenges at the age of 88 or 64, including physical aging. The ancients believed that at this age, the body will gradually age, the immunity will decline, and it is easy to suffer from various diseases. This does not mean that all men will die at the age of 8864, but emphasizes that special attention should be paid to health care and health management at this age.
2. Women are no better than July 7th: Compared with men, women's physiological characteristics and life span are somewhat different. "Women are under 77 years old" means that women may face physical challenges and aging around 77 and 49 years old. Because of the particularity of women's physiological cycle, they may experience physiological changes such as menopause earlier, which will also have a certain impact on health.
It should be noted that this statement is mainly a traditional cultural concept, and everyone's physical condition varies from person to person. Great progress has been made in modern medicine and health science, which enables people to better manage their health, prolong their life and reduce health risks. Therefore, this statement need not be too worried. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, moderate exercise and regular physical examination. To ensure good health and longevity.
Age taboo
People avoid saying 36, 45, 73 and 84. On the one hand, they cherish and worship the dead heroes, honest officials and saints. On the other hand, they also think that these ages are a great pass in life, even saints are not spared, and ordinary people should avoid them. The most popular among the people is to avoid sixty-six. People think that 66 years old is a hurdle for the elderly. On the 66th birthday of the old man in Northeast China, the younger generation will give him 66 jiaozi. If you can eat it all at once, it indicates that this hurdle can be safely passed.
On the 66th birthday of an old man in Henan, his daughter wanted to give him a piece of meat, probably to pay off Rebecca's debt. In some places, the meat should be cut into 66 pieces for the elderly. It is said that through this way, we can successfully get through this level.
Don't say "hundred years old" when you are old. A hundred years is often used to refer to the limit of life, such as a hundred years of harmony, a hundred years of great plans, a hundred years later and so on. All these imply the limit of life, so if you want to ask someone's age, don't say centenary. The real 100 is only 99 years old, otherwise it is unlucky.
