In Western culture it is common for the age of man to be counted as the amount of time that passed from birth until a certain point in time, when the year is rounded down. The Bible and Chazal were usually rounded upwards. However, in East Asian cultures the age can be excellent in the method in which a person's age is considered to be one (and not zero), and the person's age grows each year when a new year begins in the calendar (whether it is the Gregorian calendar or traditional or local calendar). This method can lead to a difference of 2 years of counting versus the common method in the West.
