The parents put many kinds of things around them, such as a pen, a book, a ruler, money and so on. These things are symbols of the babies’ future jobs or personalities（性格）. Most people usually eat long noodles with eggs on their birthdays to wish for a long life. For some young people, they have a birthday party with their family and friends. Families often have a big dinner for the old people when they are 66 years old or eighty years old.
