During the Chinese New Year, it is also the most common time for the birthday boy to "show up". People paint his image on New Year pictures in order to have a good start in the coming year and live a long and safe life. The image of the birthday girl painted in New Year is obviously much more gorgeous. He is short, with big ears, white eyebrows, hunched over, leaning on a crutch with a gourd hanging from it. According to legend, there are all kinds of panaceas in it. He is amiable with a peach in his other hand, but these are not important, because people always notice his high forehead when they first see him, because this feature of him is so obvious that it even becomes his. "

Then why is the head of the birthday girl so big? All this is not without reason. Some people think that the image change of the birthday girl is integrated into the Taoist concept of health preservation. The murals of Yongle Palace in Shanxi Province may be the oldest surviving image of the birthday girl. We can see the birthday boy at a glance among thousands of immortals, of course, because of his unforgettable forehead. There is a view that the forehead of the birthday girl may be an image created by Taoism in health preservation, which is like a flat peach, while the flat peach of the queen mother bloomed for 3 thousand years, resulting in 3 thousand years. As a result, the forehead has become a reflection of people's impression of longevity.

In order to explain the forehead of the birthday girl, there is an interesting legend circulating among the people. It turned out that his forehead was big because he said something in the womb. According to legend, the mother of the birthday girl was pregnant for nine years and had no children. She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do. One day, she suddenly said to the child in her belly, "Son! Why haven't you been born yet? " Unexpectedly, the child in the belly actually spoke in the womb. The birthday girl said, "If the stone lion at the door bleeds, I will be born." The birthday girl's mother was surprised and happy, but the birthday girl's words were also heard by the butcher next door. I don't know what kind of psychology the butcher was holding. When no one was around, he drew pig blood on the eyes of Shishi.

The next morning, the mother of the birthday girl saw the stone lion and quickly told the fetus that the stone lion glasses at the door were bleeding. Hearing this, the birthday boy quickly emerged from his mother's armpit, and the birthday boy was born.

Generally, people are born pregnant in October, and it takes ten years for the birthday girl to be born, but in fact, he only stayed in the womb for nine years. Because time is running out, his skull will get bigger. Of course, this is just a folk saying that the birthday girl has a big skull. Nature can't be true. After all, the birthday girl is a figure in folk mythology, and its prototype is mostly Peng Zu, and some people think it is Jaco. In short, people have different opinions. However, the artistic conception expressed by the birthday girl has never changed. He embodies people's infinite expectation for a better and safer life and is a part of our traditional culture.
