At the same time, sheep are also described as representatives of excellent qualities such as tenderness, kindness, loyalty and simplicity. So many people regard sheep as their motto and goal.
Secondly, in the traditional culture of China, sheep is regarded as one of the Five Blessingg. Five Blessingg is longevity, wealth, health, tranquility and beauty respectively, which implies people's health, wealth, happiness, peace and happiness. Therefore, people often use sheep to symbolize their longevity, that is to say, even if people are old, as long as they have the auspicious meaning of "sheep", they can maintain a good physical and mental state and make themselves as white as new.
Finally, it is said that in folklore, sheep can also drive away diseases and evil spirits. I believe everyone knows that the elderly often have some health problems, and in this case, the healthy and auspicious meaning symbolized by sheep has become a symbol of people calling for health. Therefore, people often regard sheep as their "patron saint" in order to live a long and healthy life.
Based on the above points, it is not difficult to find that it is not difficult to associate "bald as new" with sheep belonging to the zodiac. No matter from the point of view of culture, spirit or health, sheep has very profound moral and symbolic significance, and can become the representative of people's pursuit of health and longevity.

Whitehead refers to the elderly whose hair has turned white, while new refers to novelty, rebirth and vitality. Combining the two together, it expresses that although the elderly are physically aging, they are in a good mental state and can keep their mood young and full of vigor and vitality.
Second, Bai Shouru's new philosophical point of view
Bai, as a newcomer, embodies China's traditional philosophy and emphasizes "Taoism is natural", that is, to conform to the laws of nature, to be a man, to know how to adapt to environmental changes and to treat life positively. According to this view, as long as they have confidence and determination, the elderly can maintain their youthful vitality and continue to pursue their ideals and goals.
Third, the practical significance of "Growing Old Together"
The practical significance of longevity is to advocate the healthy, positive and optimistic attitude towards life of the elderly and encourage them to pursue self-worth and sense of accomplishment. By participating in various recreational and social activities, the elderly can exercise, enrich their lives, make contributions to society and improve their social status.
Fourthly, the significance of growing old together in modern society.
With the acceleration of population aging in China, the view of growing old together becomes more important and practical. Especially in the rapidly changing social environment and increasing pressure and difficulties, maintaining the spirit of growing old together can help the elderly adapt to society and maintain a good attitude. At the same time, it also provides an example for young people, encourages them to take the initiative and provide better life services for the elderly.
