There is a folk saying that a child born at a certain time is like a little angel who comes to repay his kindness, and can often excel and achieve extraordinary achievements in the future.
Since ancient times, people have been willing to find the mystery of life from the laws of nature, linking the flow of time with the fate of people, and giving different meanings to the twelve hours.
Among these ancient philosophies of time, there are six hours that are particularly special, and it is said that if children are born at these times, as if they come with a heart of "repaying kindness", they are most likely to become prosperous people in the future.
Let's explore the meaning behind these hours with a relaxed and humorous attitude, and feel the sparkle of the wisdom of the ancients.
Ugly time (1 a.m. to 3 a.m.): Don't use the hidden dragon, ready to go
"The dragon dives into the abyss, and the phoenix dances for nine days. The child born at this hour is like the dragon hidden in the abyss, although it has not yet emerged, but deep down there is amazing strength and wisdom.
Imagine a dragon lying silently in the abyss, not sleeping, but silently gathering strength, waiting for the moment to soar into the sky.
This state of "ready to go" is a true portrayal of a child born when he was ugly. They are born with a kind of tenacity and perseverance, and understand the truth of "perseverance, gold and stone can be carved".
On the road of life, they may encounter difficulties and setbacks, but it is these experiences that make them more aware of the profound meaning of "the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones".
The ancients said: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas." "These children have been solid and strong at every step of their life's journey.
They know that only by constantly accumulating, working hard and persevering can they finally realize their dreams.
As it is said in "How Steel is Made": "A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he has done nothing and wasted his time, nor will he feel guilty for being a vile person and living a vulgar life." ”
Children born when they were ugly face life with such an attitude, and they know that only by continuous struggle and hard work can they win the glory of the future.
In this fast-paced, high-stress society, we all need to learn to maintain a resilient heart like a child born when we were ugly.
No matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, believe that you have the ability to overcome them.
Remember the saying: "As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle." "As long as we are willing to work hard and persevere, we will definitely be able to realize our dreams.
Chenshi (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.): The dragon leaps into the abyss, changing with each passing day
"The plan of the day is in the morning. "Children born at this moment seem to be born with a unique vigor and vitality, they are like the rising sun, shining on everything around them, bringing endless hope and possibility.
In ancient myths and legends, the dragon was a symbol of auspiciousness, representing strength and wisdom.
Children born at the time of the hour are like dragons that leap out of the water, they have keen insight and quick thinking, and can quickly seize every opportunity in life.
They marched forward bravely, braved the wind and waves, and showed extraordinary courage and courage.
There is a saying in "Zengguang Xianwen": "The plan of a year lies in spring, and the plan of a day lies in Yin." ”
This phrase emphasizes the importance of the morning, which is the golden hour of the morning.
Children born at this hour seem to have received the essence of heaven and earth, they are not only full of vitality, but also quick thinking and good at seizing the opportunity.
They are always able to find new opportunities in every corner of their lives, showing rapid growth and change.
Success does not depend solely on the auspiciousness of the time of birth, but also on hard work, education, and opportunity.
As it is said in the "Zengguang Xianwen": "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in everyone." "No matter how good the time of birth, we need to strive for self-improvement and hard work to achieve success.
In ancient times, there was a well-known swordsmanship sect - Lingyun Sword School, whose swordsmanship was extraordinary, and the disciples of all generations were the leaders in the martial arts.
In such a legendary sect, there is a story about "the master leads the door and the cultivation is in everyone".
The story takes place during the Song Dynasty, and there is a young disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect named Li Mubai. He was sent to the mountain gate since he was a child, and studied under Yun Zhongzi, the head of the sword sect. Yunzhongzi swordsmanship is superb, especially famous for a set of "Liuyun Sword Technique", this set of swordsmanship is agile and elegant, unpredictable, but extremely difficult to learn, and those who have great wisdom and perseverance cannot comprehend.
At first, Li Mubai, like other disciples, practiced swords every morning and studied swordsmanship at night, but his progress was always unsatisfactory. Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi already had a plan in his heart, and one day, he summoned Li Mubai to the secret room, and said earnestly: "Mubai, in the practice of swordsmanship, the master can only point out the direction, and how far he can really go depends on his personal understanding and hard work. As the saying goes, 'the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in everyone', you need to experience the artistic conception of the sword with your heart, not just imitate the sword moves. ”
After that, Yun Zhongzi gave Li Mubai a piece of ancient jade, which was engraved with a flowing cloud map, and he told Li Mubai that this jade contained the essence of the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique", and it was necessary to use his heart to sense it in order to understand the true meaning of swordsmanship. Li Mubai took his master's teachings and ancient jade and began the path of cultivation alone.
He is no longer confined to the daily training of the Sword Sect, but is always on the top of the mountain, watching the clouds roll and listening to the wind and fall. Day after day, year after year, Li Mubai's state of mind gradually merged with nature, and he began to integrate his understanding of nature into his sword moves, and every time he swung his sword, it was as if the clouds were moving with the wind, natural and smooth.
Finally, on a stormy night, Li Mubai was on the top of the mountain, his sword light was like a dragon, and he merged with the wind and clouds between heaven and earth, and he realized the highest level of "Liuyun Sword Technique", and his swordsmanship reached an unprecedented height. Since then, Li Mubai's name has resounded all over the rivers and lakes and has become a generation of swordsmanship masters.
This story spread throughout the martial arts and became a good story in the mouths of later generations of disciples, reminding everyone who practiced martial arts, "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in everyone". A true master must not only get the guidance of a master, but more importantly, he must have unremitting pursuit and profound understanding in order to continue to break through on the road of martial arts and reach the highest realm.
Hour (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.): The sun is beautiful and the wind is clear, and the talent is abundant
Also known as the "snake hour", the hibernating snakes begin to wake up at this hour, shedding their old skin, symbolizing new life and growth.
A child born in his prime, like a molted snake, whose wisdom and talent bloom quietly in the sun like a flower.
The story takes place when the Yan State invaded the Qi State on a large scale, the Qi State was defeated and retreated, the capital Linzi was breached, the monarch fled, and the country was in danger. At this time, Tian Dan stood up, he was a distant relative of the Qi royal family, usually low-key, not showing the dew, but when the country was in danger, he resolutely took on the important task of restoring the country.
Tian Dan first adopted the strategy of "great wisdom and foolishness", deliberately showing cowardice and incompetence in front of Yan Jun, and even deliberately letting Yan Jun despise himself. He pretended to be interested in farming, wore rags all day long, and mingled among the common people, but in fact secretly observed the movements of the Yan army and collected intelligence. The generals of the Yan army thought that Tian Dan was just a mediocre man with no ambitions, and relaxed their vigilance against him.
Subsequently, Tian Dan used the wisdom of "big and clumsy" to start a series of seemingly clumsy but exquisite layouts. He deliberately released rumors, saying that the people of Qi were most afraid that the Yan army would cut off the noses of the captives as a sign of humiliation. Listening to the rumors, the Yan army began to carry out this cruel act, which aroused great anger among the people of Qi and made the people more united.
Then, Tian Dan pretended to sacrifice to his ancestors, asked for his ancestors' blessings, and deliberately held a grand ceremony in front of the city gate, dressing up the only thin old horse left in the family as a sacrifice. When the Yan army scouts saw this scene, they felt that the Qi people had reached the end of their rope, and even the war horses were so unbearable. However, this was exactly what Tian Dan ployed, and he used it to paralyze the enemy, but secretly collected available horses in the city, trained warriors, and prepared for a counterattack.
Finally, when the time was ripe, Tian Dan took advantage of the night raid to light a torch tied to the tail of the ox, and drove thousands of oxen to rush to the Yan army camp, while the Qi warriors followed closely and launched a fierce attack. The Yan army was caught off guard and the battle was in disarray, and finally the Qi army won a decisive victory, not only recovering the lost territory, but also forcing the Yan state to withdraw its troops and restore the country's independence and dignity.
The story of Tiandan perfectly interprets the profound meaning of "great wisdom is foolishness, great ingenuity is clumsy". In those turbulent times, his seemingly dull and clumsy façade concealed his extraordinary wisdom and ingenious strategy, and finally achieved a legend of saving the country from danger. This is not only a military victory, but also a victory of wisdom and courage, demonstrating the national spirit of the Chinese nation of indomitable wisdom and courage.
There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: "Great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy." This is exactly what it means to be a child born at the end of the day.
They may not be ostentatious, but deep down they contain endless wisdom and creativity, and in the fields of art and literature, they can always show amazing talents and talents with unique perspectives and deep perceptions.
The ancient sages once said: "The talented person is also the capital of virtue, and the virtuous person is also the handsome talent." "Children born at that time are not only talented, but more importantly, they know how to use their talents to benefit society and help others.
In ancient and modern folk proverbs, there is such a sentence: "Natural talents are like plants in nature, which need to be learned to prune." "Children born at a young age are gifted, but they also understand the importance of continuous learning and hard work.
Like industrious gardeners, they carefully prune their tree of talent to make it more lush.
As the saying goes, "Real gold is not afraid of fire." "Children born at that time have talents that can withstand any test, are not afraid of difficulties and setbacks, and can calmly cope with even the biggest challenges.
Shen Shi (3 p.m. to 5 p.m.): The golden monkey is a witty man
"Shen Shi was born a monkey with a spirit and a wit and intelligence that is more than ordinary people. "At the time of Shen, it is the time when the sun is in the west and the golden light is sprinkled all over the earth. Children born at this time seem to have inherited the intelligence and resourcefulness of monkeys by nature.
is like the Monkey King in "Journey to the West", not only has extraordinary wisdom, but also has extraordinary courage and determination.
These children are extremely curious and full of desire to explore everything in the world.
Good at observation and analysis, at critical moments, they can always come up with strange tricks like Monkey King, resolve crises, and show amazing wit and adaptability.
There is a cloud in the "Book of Filial Piety": "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." "Children born in Shen Shi know more about filial piety and gratitude.
They know that the nurturing grace of their parents is more important than Mount Tai, so they always do their best to repay the nurturing grace of their parents.
In ancient and modern folklore, monkeys are often endowed with mystical and sacred colors.
The children born in Shin Shi also seem to have inherited this mysterious power, and they are born with a unique temperament and wisdom.
As the saying goes, "Wit is a treasure, and practice is the key to unlocking this treasure." "Children born at the time of Shen not only possess a treasure of wit, but also know how to apply it in real life.
They are good at learning and summarizing experience from practice, constantly improving themselves, and making themselves better and outstanding.
Shen Shi is also known as "Ri Feed" or "Xi Shi", etc., and the ancients believed that this was the time when monkeys came out to forage for food.
Children born at the time of Shen are also often endowed with monkey traits: lively, active, curious, and alert.
Unitary time (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.): sunset, introspection wise
Children born at such a moment seem to uphold the calmness and introspection of the sunset, and their characters have a rare calmness and restraint.
In ancient times, there was a scholar named Liu Yi, who was born in the Song Dynasty, although he was born in a poor family, he had the lofty ideal of governing the country. Liu Yi was deeply influenced by Confucian culture since childhood, and especially admired Zengzi's words of "my day, three provinces, and my body", and took it as his motto of self-cultivation and family governance and peace in the world.
Every morning, Liu Yi would silently recite in front of a bronze mirror in his humble study: "Seek for others but not be faithful, make friends but not believe, and pass on the word without getting used to it?" He used this to reflect on whether he was doing his best when giving advice to others, whether he was honest and trustworthy when interacting with friends, and whether he practiced new knowledge after learning new knowledge. These three provinces have become an indispensable part of his life and learning.
One year, in the year of the imperial examination, Liu Yi embarked on the journey to Beijing to catch the examination with confidence. The journey was long, and he helped many pedestrians who encountered difficulties along the way, whether it was guiding the lost elderly or sponsoring poor students, Liu Yi never forgot the principles of "loyalty" and "faith", and practiced the reflection of "seeking for others" and "making friends with friends" with practical actions.
After arriving in the capital, Liu Yi concentrated on preparing for the exam and reviewing the classics day and night, but he did not neglect the self-examination of "passing on the scriptures". In the dead of night, he would always look back on what he had learned that day and think about how to combine book knowledge with real life and truly apply what he had learned.
On the day of the imperial examination, Liu Yi stood out with his solid knowledge and noble character, and was the top student in high school. However, his fame did not make him complacent, but more strictly practiced "my day and three provinces and my body". During his tenure as an official in the court, he always adhered to fairness and honesty, diligent government and love for the people, and was deeply loved by the people.
Once, Liu Yi was ordered to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, just as the local area was suffering from a drought that had not been seen in a century. In the face of the disaster, he not only quickly organized relief, but also went deep into the fields, personally investigated the causes, and put forward a series of effective measures to control water and fight drought. Under Liu Yi's leadership, the disaster area was quickly and effectively managed, and the people's lives gradually recovered. This experience once again verified the importance of "passing on the habit of not being accustomed to", and the combination of theory and practice can truly solve the problem.
Liu Yi's life is a vivid portrayal of "my day, three provinces, and my body". He not only made academic achievements, but also set an example in the way of officials, and became a model for future generations to admire. His story tells us that no matter how the times change, self-reflection and practice are always the cornerstones of personal growth and social progress.
The wisdom of "three times a day, three reflections on my body" emphasizes daily self-reflection. And children born at the time of unitary seem to be born with this gift of introspection.
They are good at stopping in their busy lives, as stated in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", "the patient's pulse has been solved, and the twilight is slightly annoying, the disease is new and poor, the person is strong and the valley, the spleen and stomach qi are still weak, and the valley cannot be eliminated, so the slight annoyance, the loss of the valley is healed", which means that when the disease is first healed and the body is still weak, the diet should be reduced to recuperate, this wisdom of self-adjustment and scrutiny, coincides with the introspective character of the child in the unitary time.
Gu Shiyun: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk." "The sunset in the unitary time, although beautiful but close to dusk, is just like the character of the children in the unitary time, they know how to find the shortcomings in the beauty, and continue to grow in introspection, which is a kind of thoughtful wisdom.
As the saying goes, "Think of a thousand roads at night, wake up in the morning and go the same way." But the children of the unitary time can find their true path in the evening introspection, and go on with determination the next day.
Their introspection is not a fantasy, but a concrete guide to action.
Morning (9 p.m. to 11 p.m.): The moon shines like water, and it is thoughtful
Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet: "The moonlight illuminates the silent night, and the deep thoughts." "Children born at such times are inherently endowed with deep thoughts and keen insight.
They are like this quiet night, good at finding inspiration in contemplation, and have a unique view of everything in the world, like a river flowing quietly in the moonlight, seemingly calm on the surface, but surging deep and powerful power inside.
Su Qin, a figure in the Warring States Period, was born in an ordinary peasant family, and since he was a child, he had great ambitions and was determined to change his fate with his wisdom and hard work and serve the country. He knew very well that "a soldier cannot fail to carry out his responsibilities and have a long way to go", so he immersed himself in hard study, studied the art of war and the art of vertical and horizontal, hoping that one day, he could use his talents to make contributions to the country.
However, the fledgling Su Qin did not immediately get the favor of fate. He lobbied the princes of various countries many times, hoping to display his ambitions, but he was repeatedly treated coldly and ridiculed, and even fell into poverty for a time, returned to his hometown, and suffered the white eyes of his family and fellow villagers. In the face of such a predicament, Su Qin did not get depressed, he deeply reflected on his own shortcomings, and realized that "those who are not strong in ambition are not wise", without a strong will, no matter how smart his mind is, he will not be able to exert his true power.
So, Su Qin was indignant, closed the door, hung his head from the beam, cone and stabbed the stock, studied hard day and night, and vowed to make up for his shortcomings. He further deepened his understanding of the general situation in the world and refined his eloquence and strategy. With such hard work, Su Qin's knowledge and wisdom made a qualitative leap, and he re-examined the pattern of the world and put forward the strategic concept of "combining vertical and horizontal", aiming to unite the six countries to jointly fight against the powerful Qin State.
This time, when he once again embarked on a journey to lobby countries, the situation was very different. He was earnest in his words and clever in strategy, and soon won the trust and support of the six states of Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi, Chu, and Yan, and was named the prime minister of the six countries, wearing the seal of the six countries, achieving an unprecedented diplomatic feat, effectively curbing the expansion momentum of the Qin state, and winning precious time for peace and development for all countries.
The story of Su Qin is not only a legend of personal struggle, but also a vivid commentary on the ancient adage that "those who are not strong in ambition are not wise".
As the ancients said: "Those who are not strong in ambition are not wise." "Children born at the time of the year not only have profound wisdom, but also have a firm will and unremitting pursuit.
They understand that only with perseverance and hard work can they move towards the road to success, and deliberate actions will enable them to always move forward steadily and climb new heights in the journey of life.
As the saying goes, "In the dead of night, there are many thoughts." This is exactly the portrayal of the child in the past. At this moment, they are like lonely nightcrawlers, exploring the road ahead in the silence of the night.
Their loneliness is not helplessness and confusion, but a process of independent thinking and deep reflection.
To sum up, the children born in these six hours each carry a different destiny code, but in the final analysis, a person's achievements are not all determined by the time of birth.
As the ancients said: "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." ”
No matter when you were born, only by making unremitting efforts can you achieve a career and live a wonderful life.
Let us take these beautiful meanings as inspiration, and believe that every child has infinite possibilities, as long as there is a dream in his heart, there is a road under his feet.
