There is an old saying in Beijing: "Thirty-three turns, sixty-six die, seventy-three turns, eighty-four turns, the prince doesn't ask himself to go", and there is another saying: "A man lives fifty-five, and the prince counts". It can be seen that 33, 55, 66, 73 and 84 are all two years.
It is generally believed that people can live a long life if they live well at this age, otherwise they will die. In order to live longer, people are more careful in Kaner Year and try to "break" it so as to live longer. The common method is to wear a red cloth belt. It is said that red can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Old Beijing has the custom of wearing a red cloth belt in the animal year and after the age of 60.
There is also a custom, that is, let the daughter pack jiaozi: 6 pairs of 6 meats, 6 pairs of 6 faces, and 66 jiaozi, which will be healthy and long-lived; To eat a girl's "one-knife meat" on her 66th birthday, that is, to sell meat across the board, it must be exactly 626 yuan. Can't cut it any more, and then the girl made 66 pieces of braised pork herself, only once in her life.

Shouxing chair 6 at the main table. The hall is surrounded by lanterns and colorful decorations, decorated with red lanterns and balloons, creating a cheerful and festive atmosphere of Shoutang.

7. Behind the birthday girl is a huge word "longevity".
The word "shou" is the most prominent decoration in the layout of Shoutang. For thousands of years, our ancestors gave full play to the traditional calligraphy art in China when planning birthday gifts, especially when arranging birthday halls, and changed a traditional birthday character into several ways. Many writing methods are no longer a kind of calligraphy, but have become patterned and artistic graphics, and even become a symbol of good luck.

When celebrating the birthday, it is placed on the candlestick of Shoutang incense table and lit at the beginning of the birthday ceremony, which not only expresses congratulations, but also increases the atmosphere of celebration.
In mythology, the Queen Mother of the West celebrated her birthday and set up flat peaches to entertain the immortals, so it is generally customary to use peaches as birthday supplies.
According to legend, Sun Bin, a Warring States strategist, left his hometown at the age of 18 and went to Yunmeng Mountain thousands of miles away to learn the art of war from Guiguzi. I have been away for twelve years. On the fifth day of May that year, Sun Bin suddenly thought, "Today is my mother's eightieth birthday." So I asked the master for leave to go home and visit my mother. The master picked a peach for Sun Bin and said, "You studied abroad and failed to repay your mother's kindness. I will give you a peach to take back for your mother's birthday. "
Sun Bin came home, took out the peaches sent by the master from her arms and gave them to her mother. I didn't expect the old mother to look younger before eating the peaches, and the whole family was very happy. People heard that Sun Bin's mother became young after eating peaches and wanted her parents to live a long and healthy life, so they all took Sun Bin as an example and sent fresh peaches for their parents' birthdays. However, fresh peaches are seasonal, so people make birthday peaches with flour to celebrate their parents' birthdays in the season when there are no fresh peaches.

Dragon dance is also called "playing dragon lantern" and "dragon lantern dance". From the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, many places have the custom of dancing dragons. Dragon represents auspiciousness, dignity and courage in the Chinese nation, and it is also a symbol of power. People use dragon dancing to pray for the blessing of dragons on festive days, so as to achieve the purpose of good weather and abundant crops. Today, after continuous development and improvement, dragon dance often becomes an ornamental competition.
The movements of dragon dance are ever-changing, and the trick is the key within nine knots. The common movements are: dragon swimming, dragon drilling, head and tail drilling, dragon wagging its tail and snake molting. The dragons in sections 11 and 13 focus on action performance. Jinlong chases the orb, leaps and jumps, and sometimes flies; In the clouds, sometimes they rush into the sea and break the waves. Combined with dragon ball and drum music, it has become an artistic style integrating martial arts, drum music, opera and dragon art.
