From a young age, I will always listen to my parents or grandparents' generation, and when educating us, a few sayings pop out from time to time, such as men shaking poor women shaking lowly, or female juniors holding gold bricks and the like, these are more commonly heard in life and quite educational sayings, or really have some truth, after all, our grandparents have been practiced through their own lives. So, is there anything in these sayings about the moment of birth?
Here is a sentence: women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight. Why did the ancients leave such a saying?

Superstitious psychology
1、
Women are afraid of being born at noon
The most important thing about this sentence is time, as we all know, noon and midnight are a timekeeping method in ancient times in time, noon is 12 noon, midnight is 12 midnight.
In ancient times, there was not enough scientific reason to explain many things, people preferred to believe in some ghost legends, and more importantly, people in ancient times also believed in the saying that there were past lives and this life, and every newborn was reincarnated, and must carry some stories of past lives, unwilling or resentful.
Girls born in any time period, there is not much bad to say, after all, the ancient half-immortals are also very good at fooling people, each time period of birth of babies will be more or less "blessed", although there are also some bad, but there is always a way to fight.

However, at noon, many people mind, because in ancient times, the most important punishment was generally carried out at noon, and the death method of these sinners was abnormal, although they deserved it, but the word "beheaded at noon" still made the people feel very comfortable.
At that time, people felt that this kind of abnormal way of dying, after death, the soul could not enter hell, let alone go to heaven, and their way of rebirth was to attach themselves to another small life born.
In the ancient people's ideology, women are watery, yang is not heavy, if the girl born at noon, it is easy to be attached to the soul of the person who died due to punishment at this time, so the girl born at noon was very pitiful in ancient times, and they would be regarded as unknown as soon as they were born.
2, the man is afraid of the night coming
The Bagua I Ching occupies a very high position in ancient times, people believe that natural disasters and man-made disasters can be explained by the Bagua I Ching, and even predict in advance that in the Bagua Yin and Yang represent both heaven and earth, but also represent men and women, the yin and yang are actually not too good.
Midnight is at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, people in ancient times think that this time the night is quiet, the sun is gone, it is really the time when the night black wind is high, the yang is the weakest, and the yin is the heaviest.
Men in ancient times is the representative of yang, yang is the most yin, at any time born there is no problem, but when the yin is the heaviest is not the same, the yin is the most abundant easy to invade the yang, resulting in yin and yang imbalance.
Therefore, the ancients believed that there were some bad things when the yin qi was the heaviest, and the baby boy born at this time was too weak yang qi, and it was easy to be invaded by yin qi. Therefore, the ancients will have a fearful mentality for men born in the middle of the night, they always feel that the yin qi of men born at this time is too heavy, there must be a bad side, but it has not yet erupted, if it breaks out, it may affect everyone.

For medical reasons
In fact, superstition is only a one-sided understanding of people, and in ancient times, people especially cared about the birth time of children, mainly related to the medical level at that time. As we all know, in ancient times, the emperor gave birth to more than a dozen or twenty children, but there were not many who could grow up, because the medical level in ancient times was too limited, and a cold and flu could take away life.
Therefore, in some large families in ancient times, the general children had to be raised until they were eight or nine years old before taking their names, that is, they felt that the children at this time were the healthiest. Even the rich people can imagine how low the survival rate of ordinary people's babies is, so people will think that the birth of children is related to their physical health.

In ancient times, women gave birth to children is already a leg into the coffin board, production is an extremely dangerous thing, do not say anything about postpartum puerperium, complications and other things that make the ancients helpless, the fetal position is not correct will also take away the life of the mother and the baby, and at that time the traffic is limited, if it is in the middle of the night to give birth to a child, ordinary people at this time to ask the doctor is more difficult.
Usually, a stable mother is invited to help, although the stable mother can help with childbirth, but there is no way to help the children who are difficult to produce. If there is a little bit of unhappiness in the production process, the doctor is not in time, the child has not received comprehensive care, which will have a serious impact on the health of the baby, so many children in ancient times will have weak diseases, in fact, most of them did not get timely care and treatment during childbirth.
The continental patrilineal clan has existed for a long time, and attaches great importance to men, if the boy is born in the middle of the night, as the elder of the family will pay more attention, worried that the child will encounter some accidents due to the dangerous situation of being born in the middle of the night, so naturally there will be such a statement.

When is the healthiest time for a child to be born
In fact, when the child is born to be the healthiest, there is no scientific basis, because the health of the child's birth is closely related to the mother's living state, and if you want the child to be healthy when she is born, the most important thing is that the mother should pay attention to establishing good living habits during pregnancy.
Exercise more
Yes, some pregnant women due to physical reasons, there is a phenomenon of premature birth when pregnant, at this time the doctor requires pregnant women to lie more and rest more, so as to ensure the smooth implantation of the fetus and save the fetus.
But under normal circumstances, after 3 months of pregnancy, pregnant women can do proper exercise. Now many female celebrities pay attention to their own body maintenance, like Tang Yixin, who just gave birth to a child not long ago, and will insist on swimming in the third trimester of pregnancy, which is a very healthy prenatal exercise.
Exercises such as yoga and swimming can not only help pregnant women exercise the strength of the hip muscles, but also help a lot during normal labor, but also have a good effect on maintaining body shape. Image from the Internet: Pregnant women swimming
2、
Pay attention to diet
Diet is too rich, the baby's health is not much good, now people's living standards have improved, normal diet intake of nutrition is enough, pregnant women do not have to deliberately eat more nutrients, too much nutritional intake will lead to obesity, high blood sugar, and even affect the health of the baby.
