Birthdays are a pretty standard affair for me growing up. Before cutting into the cake, my parents will cook up a bowl of noodles 1for dinner. Known as longevity noodles(长寿面), they are chewy, hearty and satisfying.
Eating longevity noodles is 2an important part of birthday celebrations in China. Usually, the dish is made with wheat noodles, because rice noodles are too delicate and break 3easily (easy). You can use any kind of wheat noodle variety you like, dry or fresh. 4Preparation (prepare) of the noodles also depends on your tastes. Some prefer(更喜欢) to fry the noodles with meat and vegetables; others like to eat the noodles in a soup 5better (well).
Eating longevity noodles is different in different 6places (place). For example, one custom(习俗) has guests pick noodles from 7their (they) own bowls and place them into the bowl of the birthday person while wishing them longevity. 8Another (other) custom is to hold up noodles with chopsticks and admire how long they are with the other guests.
Noodles were invented over 4,000 years ago in northwestern China, 9but the idea of longevity noodles became popular sometime during the Tang Dynasty. We can get the keys from a Tang poem which shows the tradition of eating noodles 10to celebrate (celebrate) a birthday.
Longevity is one of the most admired ideals in Chinese culture, along with happiness, fortune and prosperity. Without life there is no meaning and, therefore, having a long life means everything.
