What is a week?

Grasping the week is also called wiping, taking an exam, drawing and taking an exam. English is drawing lots. This custom has been circulating among the people for a long time. It is a ceremony to predict the future and temperament when a child is one year old, and it is also a way to celebrate the first birthday anniversary. It belongs to the traditional birth etiquette, just like the birth news, the three dynasties washing children, the full moon ceremony and the hundred-day ceremony. Its core is the wish for the continuation, smoothness and prosperity of life, which embodies the deep feelings of parents for their children. It has the nature of family games and is a belief custom with human relations and parenting pursuit. It also objectively tests how mothers lead and how to carry out enlightenment education. Now, with the improvement of living standards, the custom of grasping the week has been paid more and more attention by many families, and organized collective activities are being held in many places to celebrate the baby's birthday. The ceremony of "grasping Tuesday" is usually held before eating "longevity noodles" at noon. Rich people who pay attention to some things should display major cases in front of their beds (on the kang), and put them on: seals, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism classics, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys, shovels (cookers). Due to economic constraints, ordinary families tend to simplify, using only one copper tea tray. Girls plus pendulum: a shovel, scissors, ruler. Adults will take the child to sit up without any inducement, let him choose and see what he catches first and then what he catches. In this way, we can predict his interests, future and future career. If the child catches the seal first, it means that when he grows up, he will take advantage of God's grace and prosper in his career. Grasping stationery first means that when you grow up, you will be eager to learn, and there will be splendid articles, which will eventually be ternary harmony; If a child grasps the abacus first, it means that he will be good at managing money when he grows up, and will become the career of Tao Zhu. If a girl first masters sewing utensils such as scissors and rulers or cooking utensils such as shovels and spoons, it shows that she is good at housework when she grows up. On the contrary, children should not be dismissed as "delicious" or "playful" on the spot when they grab food and toys for the first time. They should also say that "children will have a good mouth and be good at eating, drinking and having fun when they grow up". In a word, the elders have high hopes for their children's future, so it's good to bless them when they are one year old. Based on the grasp of children's week, this paper objectively tests how birth mothers, nannies and wet nurses lead children and how to carry out enlightenment education. Therefore, some parents are not superstitious, but they still advocate that children should pay attention to their ears, which is one of the reasons why this custom has been circulating among the people for a long time.
