In ancient times, people paid attention to the "zodiac auspicious day" in everything they did, whether it was marriage and funeral, or having children, they liked to pick a "good day".
For example, in many parts of the mainland, there is a saying of "breaking the moon", if a child is born in the "broken moon", it will be "taboo", not only born easy to get sick, but also after growing up, there will be many disasters and difficulties, many fates, and a lifetime will not be smooth.
Many elderly people believe this to be true, and even artificially choose the date of birth of their children, once they encounter the opposition of their children, causing great family conflicts.
So how should the "broken moon" statement that has been circulated to this day be calculated? Is it true?
What is the "Broken Moon"?
The so-called "broken moon", also known as "foul month", means to use the zodiac year, each zodiac year, there is a certain month with disasters and difficulties, if the child is born in this month, it will be "guilty of the month", the future fate is bitter, lucky, and even suffering from stubborn diseases, cutting off incense, it is difficult to adopt children for life.
The reason for this statement is that in ancient times, when people were living and working, they found that some animals would be in a weak period in a certain month, memorized and used for hunting, and over time evolved into the "broken moon" on the zodiac, and it was rumored that children born in the "broken moon" would also be adversely affected.
Specifically, the folk songs circulating in the mainland are "The First Moon Snake, the February Rat, the March Old Cow, the April Monkey, the May Rabbit, the June Dog, the Seven Pigs, Eight Horses, and nine Sheep Heads, the October Tiger, the Huangshan Roar, the Eleventh Chicken, the Shelf Perch, and the Twelve Old Dragons Swim on the Seabed."
For example, this year is the Year of the Tiger, then the lunar calendar October is this year's "broken moon", according to some older generations, if the expected date of delivery is in October on the lunar calendar, then it is necessary to find ways to change the date of birth of the child, even if it is forced to use "caesarean section".
Is the "broken moon" statement true?
After tracing the origin of the "broken moon" statement, it is not difficult for us to find that in fact, the so-called "broken moon" is just the animal habit law summarized by the working people in ancient times, simply because some animals in the zodiac will be weak in a specific month, and then crowned with superstition, evolving into the "broken moon" statement.
In fact, from a scientific point of view today, the reason why some animals will be weak in a particular month is only because of the simple laws of nature, such as the first month of winter, the snake is in a state of hibernation, naturally it will be weaker, February is at the intersection of spring and summer, at this time the green and yellow, the mouse has no food, naturally will be "hungry and dizzy".
In addition, due to the "survivor bias", some children born in the "broken moon" may indeed grow up bumpy, which will make people more convinced of the "broken moon", and over time it will be widely spread among the general public.
Therefore, in summary, breaking the moon is just a superstitious statement, which has nothing to do with the child's physical health and life fortune, and in the final analysis, it is just the in feudal culture.
Of course, scientifically speaking, women do have certain advantages when giving birth in some months, not only will confinement be more comfortable, but also the body will recover faster, which is more conducive to the maintenance of children.
When is it more appropriate to have a baby in months?
In the four seasons of the year, due to various factors, relatively speaking, the autumn of August, September and October is more suitable for baoma to give birth to babies and confinement.
First of all, autumn has more advantages in terms of climate.
In the spring, the climate is changeable, the temperature is high and low, and the baby is born weak, which is more likely to cause health problems;
In the summer, the climate is sweltering, the maternal body often sweats, easy to breed bacteria, is not conducive to the recovery of the body, but also frequently wipe the baby's body, may lead to some skin problems.
In winter, the temperature drops, the temperature of the indoor environment is not easy to grasp, no matter how high or low the temperature, it is easy to make the baby sick.
The autumn temperature is suitable, the maternal body temperature is more comfortable, the confinement can be easier, and the baby's health is more secure.
Secondly, in autumn, seasonal fruits and vegetables are more abundant.
Mothers need to supplement sufficient nutrition during the confinement period, fruits and vegetables are essential, and autumn as a harvest season, pregnant women are more convenient in nutritional intake, but also help them to provide more nutritious breast milk for their babies.
Finally, it will help your baby learn to walk.
In the next year, when the baby learns to walk around the age of 1, it is the most exuberant stage of activity, and the clothes worn by the baby in autumn are thin and moderate, and it is more convenient to learn to walk, if it is summer or winter, it is often less convenient for children to learn to walk.
Old Miao Conclusion:
The so-called "broken moon" statement is completely nonsense, and parents do not have to worry about it.
As for the question of "which month is best to have a baby", although the 3 months of autumn have certain advantages, parents do not have to force it, as long as they pay more attention, in fact, each month is the best arrangement.
