Noble families with vast resources and power enforced intricate ceremonies to exhibit class distinctions, among which were various rituals for celebrating birth, such as “Three Days,” “Full Moon,” “Hundred Days,” and “First Birthday.”

The so-called Three Days referred to the celebration of the newborn three days after birth, accepting gifts from all sides without making an appearance, merely receiving presents.

The Full Moon banquet marked the shaving of the infant’s fetal hair, alongside a feast hosted by the family to express gratitude to guests, separated into inner and outer chambers.

If the Three Days and Full Moon were merely rituals of social exchange among noble families, then by the “Hundred Days,” it all returned to the celebration of the birth itself.

The family would invite relatives and friends to pray for the child’s health and longevity and participate in the most important weaning ceremony for the newborn.

It’s commonly said among the commoners that if the weaning goes smoothly, then the child will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their life.

Thus, for both commoners and noble families, the “Hundred Days” and “First Birthday” are the most significant birth celebration rituals.
