Happy birthday to myselfTags: birthday, food, noodleThis entry was posted on Sunday, January 20th, 2008. |
This is the 26th birthday of mine, I am 26 years old. I think I am a boy, but when I go out, there are many kids call me uncle, so I have to accept that I am an old man now.
Traditionally, Chinese people do not pay much attention to birthdays until they reach 60 years of age. The 60th birthday is regarded as an important milestone in life and therefore is often a big celebration.
In Chinese culture, 60 years completes a life cycle and 61 is regarded as the beginning of a new life cycle. When one reaches 60, he or she is expected to have a big family filled with children and grandchildren. It is an age to be proud of.
Chinese like noodles on their birthday. In China, long noodles symbolize longevity. Eggs are also among the best choices of foods eaten on this special occasion.
When the noodles are cooked, they should not be cut since short noodles may bring bad luck. Everyone at the feast eats these two types of foods to extend their warm wishes to the star of the show.
Typical birthday presents involve two or four of each of the following: eggs, long noodles, artificial peaches, tonics, wine, and money wrapped in red paper.
Ok, happy birthday to myself, however, it is a wonderful day for me :)
