Birthday traceability
For thousands of years, the Chinese way of recording birthdays is completely different from that in the West. The Chinese New Year begins on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means that after New Year's Eve, everyone becomes one year older. Therefore, the New Year also means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, which contains a certain meaning of age. Generally, it is customary to use the lunar calendar for birthdays. So everyone can have two birthdays, one in the lunar calendar and one in the Gregorian calendar. Because the Chinese Lunar Calendar is a revised monthly calendar that is related to the revolution cycle of the moon, the Gregorian calendar dates corresponding to lunar birthdays are different each year.
The custom of birthday parties originated in Europe a long time ago. It is believed that on a person's birthday, the devil will come upon hearing the news. In order to protect the birthday person from harm, friends and family will come to his home to share the crisis with him and bring concern and good wishes. Giving gifts can make the atmosphere more cheerful and keep the devil at bay. This is where birthday parties come in. Initially only the king was considered worthy enough to receive the right to hold a birthday party. Gradually, children are also able to hold birthday parties on their own birthdays. The earliest birthday parties held for children appeared in Germany and were called Kinderfests. (German: Kinder child; Fest celebration; party)
