What does tea birthday mean?
In the tradition of our country, there are sayings such as Happy Birthday, Umbrella Birthday, Half Birthday, Rice Birthday, Centenary Birthday and Tea Birthday. So what exactly does this mean? It turns out that this is an nickname in the ancient times.

Happy birthday: an old man cannot be called sentient until he is 77 years old. Because the cursive script of "Happy" is similar to "Seventy-seven" written vertically, it got this name. The life span of ancient people was very short, with an average life span of only over 30 years. Living over 70 years old is considered "rare in ancient times".

According to statistics, the average life expectancy of China people in past dynasties is: Xia Shang Dynasty 18 years old, Zhou Qin 20 years old, Han Dynasty 22 years old, Tang Dynasty 27 years old, Song Dynasty 30 years old, Qing Dynasty 33 years old and Republic of China 35 years old. Throughout the ages, the life span of the wise is generally longer. Confucius lived 73 years, Xunzi 74 years, Zhuangzi 83 years, Mencius 84 years and Mozi 92 years. Many great modern scientists and scholars are over 90 years old.

Umbrella life: refers to 80 years old, because the grass of the word "umbrella" looks like 80, so it is called umbrella life.

Half-life: refers to 8 1 year, and the word "half" can be divided into 8 1, hence the name.

Mi Shou: An elegant name, 88 years old. Because the word "meter" is disassembled, it is the upper eight middle eight, which can be read as 88, hence the name.

Baishou: the nickname of 99 years old. Because of the word "hundred", the word "white" was removed from it. One hundred is ninety-nine. Therefore, the 99-year-old man was nicknamed "Bai Shou".

Tea has a long life: it is the saying of 108 years old. The reason why it is the nickname of 108 years old is because the cursive prefix of the word "tea" is double "ten", which adds up to "twenty" and the middle "person" is "eight"; The "wood" at the bottom is "ten", and the middle and lower parts of "eight" are connected together to form "eighty-eight". Together with the prefix "twenty", one * * * is "one hundred and eight", hence the name.

Legend has it that Sun Simiao, the drug king, lived 1, 4 1 year. Therefore, if you want to live longer, you should not only keep a certain amount of physical exercise, but also do mental exercise. In ancient times, many people who worked as coolies had a short life span and seemed to be strong, but in fact they were overdrawn.

Now that the conditions are good, the average life expectancy of urban and rural residents in China has increased from 35 years in the early days of the founding of New China to 77 years in 20 18 years. Among the 20 cities with the highest average life expectancy in China in 2020, the average life expectancy of residents has exceeded 80 years.

The life span of modern ordinary people has caught up with that of ancient wise men. The main reason is that the economic conditions are good now, everyone is not short of nutrition, and everyone is in good health. Coupled with the improvement of medical conditions and the improvement of medical security system, the average life expectancy has been greatly improved.
