Today, China is facing a demographic crisis, and the state has even introduced a three-child policy, hoping that every family will have more children, but the matter of giving birth to women with new ideas depends on the heart. If you can't find a good man, it's better to live alone for a lifetime.
But for ancient women, not only were they responsible for inheritance, but even when their children were born, they had to be subjected to various requirements, and their families were blamed for not being born at a bad time. The situation is difficult, so the new era is good, thanks to the openness of national policies.
Due to the spread of superstition, the ancients paid special attention to the birthday, and the ancients believed that a person's destiny for a lifetime was well depicted on the birthday, whether the child was born well or not, and whether the birth time was right or not, all became the focus.
One of the most famous old sayings is "do not give birth to a girl at noon, do not come to a man at midnight", how did this come about?

Women are afraid of giving birth at noon
The ancients attached great importance to yin and yang, and women were called synonymous with weakness and femininity in the cognition of the ancients. If a girl is too lively and enthusiastic, and her tutoring is not strict, she will be considered a shrew among girls.
In order to give birth to a well-behaved and obedient daughter, the ancients felt that to conform to the truth of yin and yang, the most suitable time for a woman is when the yin qi is heaviest, in fact, this is just speculation.
In ancient times, a maiden could not be born "noon". The so-called "noon" refers to the period between 11.00-13.00 when the sun reaches its highest point and emits the strongest heat, and the sun is extremely strong during this time, so it is called noon.
In the understanding of the ancients, girls all carry yin qi, and at this time, the balance of the body will be broken by yang qi at birth. The ancients believed that girls born at this time were too straightforward, like boys, and had a bumpy fate, so there was a saying that "no girls are born at noon".
At this time, some people are curious, ancient science and technology are backward, they can't see if they give birth to a boy or a girl, if they really give birth to a girl at noon, can they still strangle the child?
For the ancients, it was not in line with the laws of heaven and earth to believe in gods and harm children, so after giving birth to a girl at noon, they would not let go, but the child would not be born and would not support their own family.
They think that girls born at noon are a disaster that is contrary to yin and yang, and better people will foster their children elsewhere for a period of time, count the good days and then bring them home; People who are overly superstitious will directly sell or give away the child, as if they had not given birth to such a child.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see the abandoned girl in ancient times, after all, people at that time really believed in ghosts and gods.

Midnight does not come to men
The so-called yin and yang is the study of the natural laws of Chinese civilization by the ancients. Because the boy is strong, the man is yang, and the woman is weak and therefore yin. Therefore, in fact, in modern times, science explains that the growth of men and women is not restricted, and how they want to develop will not affect social progress.
But in ancient times, thinking was limited, most commoners were subject to imperial power, but any tyrant, a random bunch of people died. With the development of this patriarchal and imperial power, men had the highest status and were considered the pillars of the family.
Therefore, if a woman wants to give birth to a boy, she must conform to the path of yin and yang, and must be born during the day. If a boy is born in the "midnight", which is what we often call giving birth to a baby in the middle of the night, it is incredible, and it directly touches the sensitive nerves of ancient people.
You must know that in ancient times, men were yang, and the middle of the night was when the yin qi was heaviest. For ancient people, a boy born at this time is undoubtedly Yin Qi into the body, easy to be weak and sick, more likely to be swallowed by Yin Qi, and die early.
But for the male ding, after all, it is the pillar of the ancient family, and it will not be abandoned casually like a girl, and the boy born in the yin qi has become a way for the ancient feng shui master to make money.
The parents of the yin qi boy specially find various masters to measure the destiny of the child for the child, regardless of whether the method is effective or not, anyway, they must protect such a boy and make every effort for the child.
But in fact, the relevant data shows that no matter when the man and woman are born, the physical condition has not changed much. A child born in a certain yin time, the boy is weak and sick, and the girl born in the yang time has just died early,
"Do not give birth to a girl at noon, do not come to a man at midnight" has been passed down for thousands of years, and now many old people accept it as faith, but this feudal proverb has gradually been forgotten and discarded.
For modern people, how a child wants to develop after birth, as long as it does not violate the law, does not violate morality, the boy is quiet and elegant, and the girl is strong and independent, it is acceptable. The so-called yin and yang theory has become the dregs of the past, and it should have been abandoned a long time ago.
With the development of science and technology in today's world, the advancement of medical technology makes people can easily solve many problems, and they are not afraid of the so-called "no daughter at noon, no man at midnight"
