Chinese in our country is extensive and profound, and different word combinations have different meanings. When most people see the word "date of birth", their subconscious reaction may be that they just need to fill in the month and date of birth and forget to fill in the year.

Therefore, when making the form, we will use "date of birth" on our resume for strict consideration, so that we will consciously write down the date of birth when filling out the form.

It seems that there is only one word difference, but the meaning is completely different. This is also a wonderful word of Chinese characters. Although it seems to be a small problem, the meaning behind it is still worth exploring.
