背景小知识——中西方庆祝生日的不同方式
生日对于每个人来说都是比较重要的日子,它代表着年龄的增长和阅历
的增加。中国旧时一般是为特别小的孩子或年龄超过40岁以上的人庆祝生日。
孔子说:“三十而立,四十而不惑,五十而知天命,六十而耳顺,七十
而从心所欲,不逾矩”。这些岁数对于中国人来说具有特别的含义。人到了
80岁以后就是高寿了,中国人庆祝老人生日的传统方式一般是子女亲手为他
们做长寿面。小朋友过生日时,父母多会为他们做红鸡蛋,祝愿他们今后红红火火。
而在多数西方国家,人们在生日聚会上会为过生日的人唱生日歌:Happy birthday to you!而且通常是有人捧出点燃生日蜡烛的生日蛋糕时,大家齐声歌唱(通常要关灯,保持房间黑暗)。生日蛋糕一般装饰得非常漂亮,上面插的蜡烛数量一般代表寿星年龄。寿星要手捧许愿石默默地许个愿望,然后吹灭蜡烛。这足因为古时候欧洲人相信烟是能升上天堂的,许愿后吹灭蜡烛,就代表愿望能随着烟传达到天空。而如果是一口气就吹灭了所有的蜡烛,那么愿望就可能实现。传说许愿石是一种有记忆并能帮助人实现愿望的石头。有种迷信的说法认为,如果把愿望说出来就不灵了。寿星一般要切蛋糕的第一刀,若是年龄太小,父母才可以代劳。
还有一个传统叫惊喜聚会。有时人们故意显得把某个人的生日忘记了,让要过生日的人感到自己被忽视了,而实际上大家都在暗中准备惊喜聚会,暂时对聚会守口如瓶是为了给过生日的人出其不意的快乐和惊喜。

背景小知识——中西方过生日的起源
西方人的生日通常就是出生那一天的公历日期。根据西方占星术和
l2星座理论,西方人的生日分成12星座。这一说法有着悠久的历史,是
西方文化的体现。生日聚会的习俗产生于很久以前的欧洲。传说在生日
那一天,魔鬼会闻讯而来。为了使过生日的人免受伤害,朋友和家人会
和他(她)共度危难,并带来礼物,表达良好的祝愿,这就是生日聚会
的来源。
中国人新的一岁开始于农历新年的大年初一,通常认为除夕之后每
个人都长了一岁。所以新年辞旧迎新的意思里面还有岁数增长的含义。过去中国人一般过的是农历生日,不过现在越来越多中国人过公历生日,所以每个人可以有两个生日,一个农历,一个公历。因为中国农历纪年法是一种经过修订的月历,是跟月亮的公转周期有关的,所以每一年农历生日对应的公历日期不一样。
按照中国民间的习俗,通常将四十岁以下的诞辰纪念称作“过生”,而过了这个界限就称作“做寿”。中国人过生日时,亲朋好友会聚在一起吃寿面、寿桃、鸡蛋等。那么,人们为什么要过生日呢?一种说法是庆祝生命的延续和兴旺,另一种说法是对母亲赋予生命的感激,还有一种说法是为了消灾驱邪。
