There is an old folk saying: 'Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight', what is the reason for the taboo when a child is born

In this world, there are newborn babies all the time. Children are born in every corner of the world even in the same second. However, at the same birth time, different children have different fates. This is what our ancestors used to say about the different lives of the same people!

What's more, they have some patriarchal ideas, thinking that boys are more conducive to the inheritance of the family, and daughters are not important, which is really angry. In addition, some traditional parents also believe that the time of birth of the child is also important.

If the birth is not at the right time, not only the child's life will not be smooth, but even family members will be affected. As the saying goes: women are afraid of being born at noon, men are afraid. What does it mean? Is it feudal superstition?

01 What does twelve hours mean?

There are 24 hours in a day, which is converted into 12 hours, one hour is 2 hours, and 12 hours is a day and a night, but 24 hours is a modern society. In ancient times, people's timekeeping method was time.

So what is the name of each hour? First of all, at the beginning of the day, when it's called a sub, I don't need to talk about times that are counted sequentially. I think careful friends have found that the order of the twelve hours is the same as the order of the zodiac.

This is the mystery of Chinese culture. They blend together, often finding shadows of each other in other cultures, and then allow people to understand deeper truths. Is this fun?

So, what's the point of different times? The first is sub-time. The sub-time range is from 11 midnight to 1 am. This is the darkest, darkest time of the night.

Ugly hours are 1:00 am to 3:00 am. At this point, the sky was still dark, but it was getting ready for dawn. Yin Shi is from 3:00 to 5:00 in the morning. At this time, the sky gradually brightened. People say that the night is when the ghosts come out, they will go back to the underworld before dawn, so the ghost gate is also the darkest time.

Maoshi is 5am to 7am. At this time, everyone who had slept all night was ready to get up. The world gradually regained its vitality. Yang Qi rises, Yin Qi sinks, and ghosts will not come out to harm others. It's time for people to get to work. Yang is better. From 7 to 9 in the morning in summer, the sun is hot enough to wipe out the unseen ghosts.

It is the last hour before noon. At this time, people are usually busy all morning and are resting. At noon, people can't hide at home because it's 11:00 noon to 1:00 pm. At this time, not only was the weather hot, but in ancient times, there was often a saying that the city gate was beheaded at three o'clock at noon, which was the heaviest yang energy and the most murderous energy. Don't go out.

After noon, from prosperity to decline from time to time to Shen Shi, that is, from 1:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon, the sun tilts westward, the yang qi sinks, and the yin qi begins to rise. From 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, the sky darkened. At this time, the sun has completely lost its luster, and the moon and stars are quietly sticking their heads out. The legendary ghosts are out to play the world again, but at this time, people are still active, so the ghosts without morals are honest.

To Xu, it is 7:00 to 9:00 in the evening. At this time, people have been busy all day, and they have to rest after taking a bath. Therefore, at this time, it is also called pacification, which means that people are pacified. At this time, the monsters dared to go out of hell.

1911 was the last hour of the day. This is from 9pm to 11pm. At this time, the yin qi was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the yin qi had accumulated power when it was at its peak. The 12 hours represent different meanings, going from yin to yang and then back to yin, it's a cycle.

So why is it taboo for both men and women to be born? What exactly does this mean?

02 Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight.

Men and women represent the polarities of yin and yang, men are yang, women are yin, women are yin, men and women are relative, but it is inseparable, the so-called women are afraid of being born at noon and men are afraid of sons at night, which actually means that yin and yang cannot collide .

As I mentioned earlier, noon is the time of day when yang is at its strongest, and women represent yin and softness. If a girl is born at noon, it is very bad for herself to carry fire. She is supposed to be a delicate and soft girl, but her way of doing things is very bold. Like a boy, it's inappropriate.

Son is the best time of day for yin. If a boy is born during this time, his temperament will be more tender, which is very different from the masculinity we often talk about. So as parents, they naturally don't want to be a good boy, but they are like a girl.

That's why it is said that women are afraid of being born at noon and men are afraid of being born at night, but I don't think there is any scientific basis for these. No matter when it is born, whether the child is a boy or a girl, it is the darling of the parents and cannot be compared like this.

With the advancement of times, the constant development of ideas and the diversification of the dissemination of information, we have seen outstanding men and women from all over the world, which shows that men and women can have their own actions. Patriarchal society is a thing of the past. It would be stupid if we write articles with gender.

What's more, because each pregnant woman's physical condition is very different, the baby will have different conditions in the stomach, it may be the next day, but come into the delivery room early at midnight, these are likely to happen, if such Legends and delays in production time, was a big mistake.

03 Conclusion

Although there are many proverbs and proverbs in traditional Chinese culture, we should also analyze them according to the characteristics of the times when we understand them, instead of following the ideas of the older generation. Also, not all proverbs are reasonable.

Some proverbs are rich in feudal superstition and should not be inherited. When we refer to others, we should also keep our eyes open and distinguish right from wrong. We can't tell by hearsay. We should think carefully. It is very wrong to spread feudal superstition.
