preface
In ancient times, people were very respectful of feng shui, and they always liked to ask for divination when things happened. In ancient times, the time of birth of a child will also be taboo, a family has a child, will specially ask the xiangshi to make a rough calculation of the child's future according to the child's birthday. Time has passed, although modern people have identified science, there are still many people willing to look at the eight characters and feng shui. In the folk, there is such a saying, called "women are afraid of being born at noon, men are afraid of midnight", what does this saying mean?
The ancients calculated the hour differently from modern people, "Feng Xiang's palm is ten years old, ten has two months, ten has two days, ten days, and twenty has eight stars." "In ancient times, the day was divided into 12 periods, not the current 24 hours, noon refers to the current noon between 11:00 and 1:00 pm, and sub-time refers to between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am. Why did the ancients think that girls were taboo to be born at noon, and boys were taboo to be born at the time of children? This has to start with the five elements of yin and yang that were often said in ancient times.
Ancient times believe that the living environment is balanced, yin and yang opposites, male for yang, female for yin, noon is the most sunny period of the day, this time the yang is the most abundant, but also the most suitable for boys to be born. If a girl is born, it may affect the harmony of yin and yang, causing a confrontation, and the girl will be born with a false boy temper. The child time is the darkest time of the day, this time is the most yin, and it is also the most suitable for the birth of a girl. If a boy is born in a child, his temper will also be more feminine, which will affect his future luck. Under such a concept, such a saying came into being.
Although in modern times, these ideas are considered feudal superstitions, but there are still many places that attach great importance to the meaning represented by the 12 hours, many elderly people hope that their sons can be born at noon, thinking that such children are full of masculinity, physical fitness, and life will be very prosperous, and the future development will be promising. In the same way, the old people will feel that girls are best born in the middle of the night, think that the women of this hour are full of feminine beauty, and the character of girls born in this time period is as pure and quiet as the moon, gentle and lovely, and will also be the face of Wangfu's family in the future. Even the month and date of birth are exquisite. However, in our view, most of this statement is nonsense, and the fate of a person is mainly related to his growth environment and his own personality, and what kind of road he will take in the future is also up to him to decide.
The reason why people had such ideas in ancient times was mainly because the medical level at that time was relatively low, and people's ideological understanding was relatively limited. Ancient women give birth to children, can really be in front of the ghost door to go through, giving birth to children is very dangerous, although there is the help of midwives, but some poor people often do not have money to ask midwives, have to give birth, plus some of their own lack of experience or physical weakness and other reasons, because the birth of children caused by the mother is not dead or injured Accident may be exaggerated in the crowd, the pain is added to the child, that the child was born at the wrong time, causing harm to the mother, such a statement to false rumors, It also caused the speculation of the ancients.
With the continuous advancement of modern medical technology, women are much safer and more reliable than ever. Some women with poor physical condition can choose to have a caesarean section with the help of a doctor, and some people even take the initiative to ask for a caesarean section in order to be able to make their children born at the so-called good time, which is understandable, but in fact, it should be as natural as possible to give birth, and when the child is born should also be judged according to the actual situation. When a woman gives birth in October, there will be regular contractions near the time of delivery, after which the amniotic fluid ruptures and the child begins to give birth. The specific time of entering the delivery room requires the doctor to judge according to the actual situation of the pregnant woman herself. The situation of each pregnant woman is different, the speed of opening the finger is also different, coupled with the reasons for the child itself, the weight or small, will affect the delivery process, so if it is a natural birth, when the child will be born is unpredictable.
As a child's parents, can not be too harsh on the so-called "good day and auspicious day", for pregnant women, the most important thing to give birth to a child is whether it is safe or not, if the so-called time point is taboo, it is not only not conducive to the health of the pregnant woman itself, but also an irresponsibility for the health of the child. In modern technology, the time at which a child is born does not mean that he will definitely have what fate he will have, and his life is determined. Although some people are born on a so-called "bad luck" fate, as long as they are diligent and self-motivated, they can eventually break through the world. Although some people are born on a so-called "Jiren Tianxiang" fate, if they do not want to make progress, a good hand will also play a mess. Just as the so-called "my life is up to me, I am not determined by heaven, and I will become a golden billions of years", what kind of person a person can become, the emphasis is on what kind of person he wants to become, and those ghosts and gods are absolutely impossible to believe.
