Old Beijingers believe that the most important thing in life is to "wash San'er", which means bathing a three-day-old baby. Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, this ceremony must be performed. The practice of washing San'er originates from the Buddhist theory of reincarnation. The purpose is to wash away all the sins of the previous life and make one's life peaceful and prosperous.
