The ceremony of "grasping the week" is usually held on the day when the baby is one year old and before eating "longevity noodles" at noon. It is necessary to clean up the baby, put on new clothes-new clothes, new hats, new shoes and socks, and begin to worship the ancestors, telling the ancestors that the baby is one year old and praying for the healthy growth of the baby. Then choose a spacious room with two square tables in the middle, covered with cloth or cushions. Put the prepared Happy Week on one end of the table in a semi-arc shape, and take the baby to the other end of the table, so that the baby can catch the Happy Week on the table. According to the items caught, predict the baby's interests, hobbies and possible careers in the future.
