In which year does someone born in 1967 hold the 60th longevity celebration?
It depends on the reckoning. By reckoned age, a person born in the Đinh Mùi year is 60 in the Bính Ngọ year (17 February 2026 to 5 February 2027). By the hoàn giáp year, which matches turning 60 by Western age, it is the Đinh Mùi year 2027, after Tết on 6 February 2027.
Hoàn giáp is when the birth stem-branch year returns after 60 years. Born Đinh Mùi 1967: 60 by reckoned age in 2026, hoàn giáp and 60 by Western age in 2027.
The longevity celebration honours grandparents and parents at ages 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100, showing filial piety and respect for old age in Vietnamese culture.
