Gu Shiyun "loving mother hand line, wanderer clothes", no pair of parents do not want their children to grow up healthy and safe, because of this, there are some sayings that will reflect people's ardent expectations for children, such as looking forward to the son of Jackie Chan and the daughter into a phoenix.
In addition, there are some proverbs that say that there are some taboos for newborns. For example, what kind of truth does "women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight"?
Women are afraid of the taboo of being born at noon
This sentence can be seen in the literal sense of some taboos when giving birth to a baby girl, which means that when giving birth to a woman, she is most afraid of giving birth at noon. We know that the timekeeping time of the ancients was not like the modern twenty-four-hour system, but had its own unit of measurement.
The so-called noon, that is, noon. So why can't you give birth at this time when you give birth to a girl? This is inseparable from the ancient people's concept of yin and yang. Yin and yang can refer to both the positive and negative sides of all things or only the different magnetic fields between men and women, generally speaking, the ancients called men yang women yin.
In some historical records, we can also find that the depiction of women is mainly feminine. In this way, it is in line with people's perception of women from ancient times to the present. If a woman is too masculine, it will make people feel violated.
In addition, in the eyes of the ancients, daytime can also be called yang, night is called yin, during the day when the yang is heavier, at night is more yin. This is also why we can see some of the horrors and eerie plots in literature and film and television works that often take place at night.
The reason why women should also pay attention to the birth at night is because of this in line with the characteristics of women's yin. The ancients believed that only a woman born at night would have a feminine beauty, and her style of behavior was more in line with the characteristics of her daughter's family. On the contrary, if a woman is born during the day, especially at noon, she will be contaminated by yang qi, and the woman's personality will also be affected.
Of course, in the eyes of modern people, a person's personality has a lot to do with the growth of the acquired environment, so even a woman born at noon cannot all have a masculine atmosphere. However, the ancients paid attention to this aspect mainly reflected their emphasis on the eight characters of the birthday.
As we all know, the ancients attached great importance to a person's birthday when marrying and mourning, and they believed that a person's birthday eight characters determined the number of people's lives.
Therefore, if a woman's birthday is not good, that is, if it is born at noon, it may affect the woman's marital problems, and because the birthday eight characters are not good, it will affect the woman's future life, so the ancients will put forward the concept of not giving birth to a girl at noon.
Men are afraid of the taboo of midnight
The so-called midnight, that is, midnight - in the eyes of the ancients, it was the time when yin qi was at its peak. As we mentioned earlier, if a man who was originally a yang comes in the middle of the night, then his birthday will also be confused, which will affect the man's fate.
They believe that the man born in the middle of the night is not only bad for the birthday, but also contaminated with yin qi, and the whole person becomes indecisive and cowardly. This is not in line with the ancient people's thinking that "men need to make meritorious achievements", nor does it meet the requirements for men in the period of agricultural society.
Imagine, in the small peasant economy and society, who would be willing to give birth to a sick labor force? Not only will this not benefit agricultural production, but it will also become a burden to the whole family.
In fact, the ancients paid so much attention to this taboo is also because the ancient medical technology is relatively backward, women's production is a major event, a little carelessness may be a corpse and two lives, even if it is not easy to give birth, the children who died are also large, so they very much hope to be able to give birth to safe and healthy children.
So, if a baby boy is born in a family at midnight, the whole family will fall into anxiety. So how can this situation be changed? At this time, the elders of the family usually ask the feng shui master to tell the child's fortune, and will give the child a name with a yang character, hoping to buffer the yin qi and thus achieve the purpose of changing the child's fate.
Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight and are they still applicable now?
We cannot deny that the above statement has some feudal superstitions, after all, we cannot control the exact time of production, just as the arrow has to be sent on the string, so we cannot achieve precise control over this statement.
Therefore, there is no need for us to listen to this saying, and we should also abandon the feudal ideas it contains in time. I believe that with the progress of modern science and the continuous innovation of medical methods, we do not need to worry too much about the health problems of newborns.
However, although this statement is very backward, it also shows the ardent expectations of the ancients for their children, which is also the product of their specific productive forces and ideological concepts, and it is also understandable, but this saying should be eliminated with the development of the times.
So according to the research of modern science and technology, under what circumstances is it more advantageous to produce children? The first is to give birth at term, we know that premature babies will always face one kind or another of health problems, and the children born at term are generally more comprehensive in their organ growth, and the nutrients absorbed are more sufficient, so health problems can be guaranteed.
Secondly, research shows that in modern society, the best age for a woman to have children is 25 to 35 years old. Unlike the blind birth of life in the ancients, this age limit is supported by many research data, so it is also more credible.
Of course, many people think that it is better to have a child between March and June and September to October, because the climate is more suitable during this time, which is conducive to the growth of the baby and the early recovery of pregnant women. Therefore, children born during this time are also often regarded as blessed.
epilogue
All in all, although this saying contains the ancient people's ardent expectations for newborns, it has lost the soil for survival, so it is no longer applicable in modern society. There is no need to continue to comply.
Moreover, when a person is born does not determine the fate of his life thereafter, in fact, a person's fate is always in his own hands. Therefore, what kind of person you want to become should also rely on your own efforts, rather than admitting your fate since birth, and we should get out of this "fatalism" quagmire.
