The old ancestor: 'Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight.' Is the ancient experience justified?
In Chinese culture, the concepts conveyed by proverbs occupy half of the country. Since ancient times, colloquial culture has been unique. Different from the expressions that are obscure and difficult to understand by modern people, one of the characteristics of colloquialism is that it is easy to understand.
Colloquialism is called colloquialism because everyone can understand the general meaning just by looking at it, and this is the meaning of colloquialism's existence and continuation. This phrase has gone through too many ups and downs from distant antiquity.
As one of the national cultures, colloquialism has also been discussed from all directions, and even in modern times there will be remarks about the cultural superstition of colloquialism.
In fact, the generation of proverbs is also based on real life. Many people understand that life is never smooth sailing, and things that are too smooth don't last long.
But there is no guarantee of smooth eternal life, always learn to avoid and avoid situations that are not conducive to oneself, so after repeated attempts and misses by the older generation, those rare and valuable experiences have also become the knowledge that people inherit to future generations.
As these ancient knowledge spread to the present day, they can still provide inspiration. As the saying goes, a good woman is afraid of being born at noon, and a man is afraid of his son coming at night. This is a typical concept of the ancients.
Tough problems in feudal times.
However, it still applies to modern life. In addition to the controversial era background, the ancients did not have advanced forecasting instruments, nor developed network information technology.
This led to disparities in information between different classes in ancient times, but it was also a thorny problem that could not be solved.
As we all know, the feudal era was a real patriarchal world. Men are indeed more socially valuable than daughters. Ideas handed down over thousands of years are deeply ingrained.
So when more and more boys are born, it is natural that people will pay attention to boys.
However, the girls have not been completely ignored. Because men and women are not tired, there are still a considerable number of people in the society that women cannot be lacking in life.
Subsequently, the saying that Yin and Yang should be harmonious emerged in an endless stream. In ancient times, people needed a lot of long-term farming to maintain the stable and harmonious development of society.
After all, farming requires enormous physical labor, and men have a natural advantage in this.
Maybe at first, men did not expect the era of patriarchy to come, but when this physiological condition is unequal, the status of men becomes more and more important.
In ancient times, there was a saying that women were afraid of being born at noon and men were afraid of midnight, which evolved from the different auras between men and women.
Since excessive yin qi represents the existence of a large number of women, once men come in the period of excessive yin qi, in the minds of the ancients, this will be very detrimental to the body of new boys.
Especially when the baby is born, it has not yet begun to develop, and the internal organs of the body cannot withstand the invasion of the outside world.
The boy himself belongs to the yang-filled magnetic field. However, it is a vector that represents warm sunlight. If it falls into a situation with excessive Yin Qi, in the eyes of the ancients, this situation is undoubtedly the collision of fire and ice.
Likewise, applying this concept to the concept of birth leads to a logically correct set of answers. In addition, the distinction between Yin and Yang concepts can also be divided by dividing time periods.
In a general sense, Yang represents the sun, and a sunny period would naturally be called a good time for the sun.
Yin and Yang harm the body relatively.
Instead, the period from when the intensity of the sun begins to fade to when the light completely disappears, and when the sun behind it slowly swallows up the darkness, will be called the lunar.
Whether a girl is born when there is too much yang, or a boy is born at midnight, it is not a blessing for the child itself.
Second, when yin and yang began to oppose each other, the ancients believed that it was not only a harm to the body, but also a challenge to good luck.
In ancient times, everything liked an auspicious era, which affected the luck of future life. This was a huge disaster. It can also be known from various movies and TV series that in ancient times, a person's bad luck was also the original sin.
In particular, many large families will take the fortune very important. The newborn itself is a good sign, and it also means a new beginning.
However, when this primordial meaning full of beautiful meaning is suddenly destroyed, it feels like pouring cold water on someone.
People will regret the future of the newborn because no one is optimistic about a child born with bad luck, which usually accompanies the child throughout its life, although the status of men and women in feudal times is disputed.
But the ancients also paid attention to the balance of yin and yang, so boys were afraid of being born in the middle of the night, while girls were completely the opposite.
Furthermore, due to the underdeveloped medical conditions in ancient times, the ancients racked their brains to sum up this sentence.
Due to the absence of superb medical conditions, the ancients would not be able to face the unexpected problems of newborns, which directly led to the high mortality of ancient newborns.
It is not that he is ruthless and does not want to save, but that he is helpless and powerless. If outsiders see such a worrying scene, they can't help but feel regret and sadness, not to mention parents and family members.
So, considering that such suffering shouldn't happen too much, but the ancients were constrained by various conditional issues, they had to choose to vaccinate their descendants.
In order to prevent future painful outcomes, it may also be desirable to continue to maintain differences in male and female characteristics.
Boys are born with the goal of making meritorious deeds. The ancients did not want boys to become indecisive in the future, so it can be regarded as a different expectation for future generations.
In any case, this is the experience summed up by the ancients. Apart from that, many proverbs are still in use.
The colloquial culture has failed many times.
The culture of common sayings has long been a part of people's lives. Since the establishment of Chinese civilization, ancestors with infinite wisdom began to learn to think.
Ancestors know that learning is endless, they are in awe of their ancestors in the past, and they also understand that learning to check and fill vacancies is very important.
Like the birth of a new baby boy or girl, it is after the countless failures of the ancestors that they decide to instill the ideas in the next generation of children.
It has been thousands of years since ancient times, and there may be too many ideas that have been eliminated by the times, but this does not deny those cultures that are worthy of inheritance.
A good idea is always cherished, and they are never afraid of the changing times and years.
