子时（23:00-1:00）
This hour has been shrouded in a veil of mystery since ancient times, and yang energy quietly sprouts, like the darkness before dawn, heralding the dawn of new life.
The child born when he was a child seems to have a different spirituality from the mother's womb.
It seems to be the condensation of the essence of heaven and earth, allowing them to show extraordinary intelligence since childhood. Conventional wisdom holds that such children are destined to take an extraordinary path in life, and their future is full of infinite possibilities and expectations.
The ancients said: "A child is worth a thousand gold every moment." This sentence not only reveals the preciousness of the child's time, but also hints at the extraordinary nature of the child born at this hour.
In ancient times, there was no modern lighting, and the night time was often used for rest and recovery. As the beginning of the day, the child is considered to be the time when the yin energy is the heaviest and the yang energy is born, so some traditional cultures and health concepts emphasize the need to be quiet or carry out specific cultivation activities during the child time. In this context, "a child is worth a thousand gold" can be understood as emphasizing the importance of this time period for physical and mental health.
Their quick thinking and superb wisdom are often amazing. Just like Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", although he was born in a wealthy family, he has an innate spirituality, which makes him maintain a sobriety and detachment in the red dust.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has a saying: "Man and heaven and earth are coherent, and the sun and the moon correspond." Children born when they were children seem to be more aware of the deep meaning of this sentence.
Their innate spirituality allows them to keenly perceive the changes and rhythms of heaven and earth, so that they can be more comfortable in life.
"Wu Song in the Midnight Moves the King's Heart" and "Zigui Cries Blood in the Middle of the Night", these poems not only show the unique charm of Zishi, but also reflect people's awe and yearning for this hour.
Mao time (5:00-7:00)
At this time, the morning dawn is first dewed, and the child born at this moment is born with a kind of growth power, as the traditional culture says, the Mao time is the hour of wood, which means growth and prosperity.
There is a cloud in the "Analects": "People with lofty ideals do not seek to survive to harm benevolence, but kill themselves to become benevolent." Although this sentence does not directly mention the time of Mao, the "benevolence" in it coincides with the vitality and harmony symbolized by the time of Mao.
Isn't it a manifestation of "benevolence" that children are cheerful and positive when they are born? They are like a small sun, warm and dazzling, and can bring positive influence to the people around them wherever they go.
In the long history, there is no shortage of outstanding people born in Mao. For example, the famous ancient poet Du Fu, his poems have been passed down through the ages, and his words are full of love for life and care for the people. Another example is the modern scientist Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity subverted people's perception of time and space and made great contributions to the progress of human science. The stories of these celebrities are all proof that children born in their primes are born with extraordinary potential and influence.
In the book "How Steel is Made", the protagonist Paul Kochagin has endured hardships, but has always maintained a strong faith and high fighting spirit.
Although his life path was bumpy, in the end he realized his worth.
Just like children born in Mao, the road of life may not be smooth sailing, but with their natural optimism and tenacity, they can always rise in difficult situations and win their own glory.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, countless celebrity stories and classical ancient books are conveying a message: there seems to be some mysterious connection between time and human character and fate.
And the children born at the time of the day, they seem to be the perfect interpretation of this connection.
Energetic and optimistic, they can be the center of attention wherever they are.
Hours (9:00-11:00)
Listen, mothers-to-be and fathers-to-be, if your baby is between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., it's a great time! In the eyes of our ancestors, the child born at the right time is full of yang energy and vitality!
Think about it, at this time, the sun has already climbed into the air, just like we often say, "like the sun in the sky", isn't this the time when the yang energy is at its most vigorous? The child born at this time is simply a little sun, radiant and full of infinite vitality and potential.
Our ancients had a good saying: "When people are born in time, their ambition is high, and their heroism is better than that of Cao." Isn't this just a description of how these children will all be heroic and extraordinary in the future? Think about those great heroes and heroes in history, maybe they were born at the same time!
Of course, this is not something I will say casually.
You can see that in the "Treatise on the Essentials of the Golden Kui", the importance of this hour is also mentioned. This book is a classic of our Chinese medicine, which says that the time is the period when the yang energy rises, and the yang energy of the human body also reaches its peak.
Therefore, the child born at this time has enough yang energy in his body, and he will definitely be a healthy and energetic little guy in the future!
But then again, although children born at the right time have so many advantages and potentials, as parents, we can't just rely on the good time to let things go.
As the saying goes: "Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work." "We still have to educate and guide well in order to make these little suns really shine!

"Children born at noon, although they are destined to bring fire, they do not only have the urge to move forward, but also know how to overcome rigidity with softness when necessary, and use wisdom to deal with the challenges of life.

During the unitary time, the sunset shines obliquely, and the golden light is sprinkled in the sky, and children born during this golden hour are traditionally regarded as lucky stars. It seems to be born with an attraction, not only is it very popular, but it also seems to always meet with good luck.
Think of those great men in history, such as Zhuge Liang recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", whose wisdom and strategy not only won wars, but also won people's hearts. Children born at the time of unitary time also seem to inherit this talent, and they always stand out from the crowd and become the center of attention.
And in modern literature, we can also find many passages that describe children in the unitary time. They are like Jean Argent in Les Misérables, who despite their ill-fated fate, always managed to succeed with tenacity and intelligence.

This kind of wisdom is not only the knowledge in books, but also a deep understanding and perception of life.
"Sun Bin Art of War" has a cloud: "Know your opponent and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "Children born at the age of Hai seem to be born with intuition and insight that give them insight into their hearts, about themselves and about others.
