2. Why is the age of 25 called the “birth year”?
In the traditional sense, zodiac years are 12 years old, 24 years old, 36 years old, etc., but recently young people regard 25 years old as their "zodiac year", mainly for the following reasons:
1.Reinterpretation of psychological age and zodiac cycle: Modern people generally believe that the age of 25 is an important turning point in life. Many young people combine "virtual age" with "real age" and believe that 25 is the beginning of the second zodiac cycle.
2.Social media fuels the fire: On the short video platform, many bloggers shared their experiences with the theme of "25 years old", which resonated. For example: "25 years old, career confusion, family pressure, health warning, it seems that all bad things are coming." This kind of content spread quickly.
3.The modern evolution of cultural symbols: Young people combine traditional culture with their own experiences to give new meaning to "Ben Ming Nian". The age of 25 is regarded as "the first hurdle in adulthood", which is similar to the traditional concept of "being guilty of Tai Sui in your zodiac year".

2.Focus on actual needs: Make specific plans for career, health and other issues, such as learning new skills, regular physical examinations, etc.
3.Leverage social support: Communicate with peers, share stress and experiences, and avoid isolation.

The 25-year-old "birth year" phenomenon is the result of the collision between traditional culture and modern society, and reflects young people's anxiety and expectations for growth. Whether it is a traditional or modern interpretation, the key is to face every stage of life with a positive attitude.
