This is a rare lively scene at the home of Yang Shenglian, a villager in Yishala Village, Panzhihua, Sichuan. The children who were out of the house rushed home, relatives gathered here, and neighbors all came to her house to work hard. And this lively scene is just for one person and one thing. 70-year-old Yang Shenglian is about to celebrate her first birthday in her life!
70 is the first time she celebrates her birthday. Yang Shenglian is very happy. But an old man celebrated his first birthday at the age of 70, which is also very strange.
This strange phenomenon originates from a tradition in Yishala Village.
In Yishala Village, if parents are alive, children cannot celebrate their birthdays even if they are old. Only after their parents are a hundred years old can their children celebrate their birthdays.
People here believe that parents experience great risks when giving birth to themselves. If they hold their birthdays when their parents are still alive, they are disrespectful to their parents. Therefore, most people in Yishala Village are already old when they celebrate their birthdays.
Mothers have children, from pregnancy to childbirth, how much hardship and risks we have experienced during the period, we live in a modern society with relatively developed information, and we can understand a little, let alone in the ancient society where there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine. In that era, the birth of every child meant that the mother had to pass the "gate of hell". For the smooth birth of the child, many mothers have given their lives.
In the cognition of the people of Yishala Village, the birthday of their children is the day of their mothers’ suffering, and such thoughts are firmly rooted in their hearts. Therefore, the tradition of "parents are here, but they don't celebrate their birthdays" comes from this.
The children attached great importance to Yang Shenglian's first birthday party in his life and invited the folk song band in the village to come and cheer them up. The song is called "Flower Flavor": It is sung until May, and the lamb will kneel with her feet... The lyrics have been circulating for hundreds of years, meaning that you should repay your parents' kindness.
Parents gave us life, raised us to grow up, and built a comfortable and warm home for us. From birth to babbling, from entering and going to school, the selfless care of our parents has accompanied every stage of our lives. Gratitude, respect and filial piety have always been the virtue of Chinese tradition and the basic principle of being a human being. Have a grateful and filial heart, drink water and remember the source, and then know your kindness and filial piety and never forget your roots. Respect and filial piety are not only a virtue of human beings, but also the basis for the formation of Chinese morality, and it is also a spiritual pillar and spiritual power that cannot be ignored.
