The birth of the proverb has a certain educational significance for the people. The most important thing is to educate future generations. In ancient times, ordinary people, people who could receive education, also needed a certain foundation. Not everyone has a chance. In particular, pen and ink paper also need to consume silver two to buy. This is more prominent for people in ancient times, through word-of-mouth education. As the saying goes, in general, it is the older generation, who, according to their own life experience, then converge into one classic discourse after another, which will be passed on to future generations. Although there is no poetry of those literati and inkers, some of the content is still quite profound.
However, these words should be viewed dialectically. It's not that everything can be used directly. Some should still need to be examined for their value. After all, in the ancient environment, the cognition of many things also had a certain blindness. After all, some of the discourses at that time also had many limitations. Just like this article is going to say, "women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of the night of the child", what is the natural opportunity for the birthday, why are the ancients so taboo? This article takes you to take a look at it.
First, women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of the night
This sentence, which we understand literally, is mainly about some precautions in the birth of a child. For now, the safety of fertility can already be very safe. But for the ancients, the birth of a child was always adjacent to danger. Nowadays, with the continuous development of medical technology, there is almost no danger in the birth of children.
In ancient times, it was the existence of the main midwife, and if the child's fetal position was not correct, it was likely that the mother and child would face the danger of life. In addition, in the past, for the birth of children, it was also quite important. In the ancient discourse, there is also such a saying, that is, the mother depends on the son. Although most of this sentence appears in court dramas, the idea of preferring sons to daughters was still very much in ancient times. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, being able to continue their own incense can be said to be the top priority. Just as the so-called filial piety has three, no queen is greater, and the queenless here is actually saying that there is a son in the family.
Second, the superstitious thoughts of the ancients
In the consciousness of the ancient people, there was still a great belief in such things as feng shui. Especially for a child's birthday, it is particularly important. In today's life, there is also a certain continuation of the marriage thing. That is, according to the birthday of the newlyweds, then find a good birthday and auspicious day, and then hold the marriage. Then in ancient times, for the birth of children, it was still very important. In the eight characters of the birthday, under normal circumstances, they all contain a person's numerology.
One of the most important reasons why the ancients had women afraid of being born at noon and men afraid of the situation of midnight is that the noon and midnight hours in ancient times were a special time period. The so-called sub-time in ancient times is the time period from 23:00 to 1:00. The noon time period is from 11:00 to 1:00 noon.
In ancient times, noon was considered to be yin, while the child time was the time of day when the yang was the heaviest. For children born at this time, the ancients had a special understanding. The ancients believed in yin and yang, male yang, female yin. Then girls born at noon will naturally have heavier yang qi. Boys born at the time of the child will have some yin attributes. Therefore, for the ancients, boys should have masculinity, while girls are more tender like water. Then for children born at these two moments, parents naturally do not want to appear. Especially for parents who pay special attention to the eight characters of their children's birthdays.
Third, correct your attitude and face it reasonably
In fact, with the development of medical level, there are many children born at these two times in the hospital. Nowadays, it doesn't matter when the child is born, as long as the mother and child are healthy, it seems that people pay more attention. For the birth of a child, after all, there is no way to control it. It's the most important thing that everything should go with the flow.
In the face of what the ancients said about the hour and noon, in my personal opinion, they are all superstitious thoughts, and we should correct our cognitive attitude and correctly look at these problems.
epilogue:
For the child's birthday, the reason why parents in ancient times paid attention to it was more for the sake of their children's future considerations. As a parent, I also hope that my children can grow up healthily. For this reason, in the court in ancient times, special attention was paid to each person's birthday. The reason why the ancients were afraid of these things was also because they had their own considerations, after all, the future of children also included the future of their parents.
