Before reading, I would like to remind you that this article is for reference and entertainment only, and it is intended to be a fun conversation after tea and dinner, aiming at the meaning of a better life, not superstitious!
"The time and place are favorable", this phrase comes from "Mencius, Gongsun Chouxia", which has far-reaching meanings, saying that everything in the world is born and died according to the time of day, and the trajectory of life is not free from this reason.
Just imagine, the rotation of the stars, the change of the seasons, and every pulse of the natural world are closely connected with the time of heaven, how can man, as the spirit of all things, be beyond the rhythm of this vast universe?
In the depths of the folk, there has been a mysterious and ancient saying since ancient times, which is like a thin line, passing through the gaps of time and space, closely linking the birth of a new life with the fate of its life. It is believed that the time of a child's birth is not only a simple mark of time, but also the intersection of invisible forces between heaven and earth, containing the mystery that determines the direction of an individual's destiny.
Every time a new life falls to the ground, it is not only the joy of the family, but also another brave exploration of the unknown fate. Under this ancient and eternal belief, every life carries infinite possibilities and hopes, waiting to bloom its own light in the long river of time.
Today, we are going to talk about what is considered to be the most typical of "retributive children" – children born at four specific hours, who are said to be naturally wealthy, filial, and promising.
Sub-hours (23 p.m. to 1 a.m.)
There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "The universe is fixed, and the good and the evil are born." This statement expresses the profound philosophy that everything in heaven and earth has its own timing, and good and evil also sprout.
In ancient times, the time of the child, from 23 to 1 a.m., was given a special meaning, not only as the end of the day, but also as a symbol of the beginning of new life and hope. As the ancients said, "When the child is in a moment, the yang energy is born", in this deep and quiet hour, the heaven and the earth seem to be pregnant with infinite vitality and possibility.
In the long river of history, children born when they were children are often regarded as "the pride of the sky", and their arrival is like the first dawn of the morning, bringing light and warmth to the world.
Such a statement is not groundless, but stems from the deep insight and awe of the ancients into the natural laws of heaven and earth. According to legend, the ancient sage Confucius was born at this time, and his life, just like the light of the morning light, illuminated the sky of Chinese civilization and became a model for future generations to admire.
As the saying goes: "The plan of the night lies in the child", which means that the child is not only the beginning of the day, but also the key moment of planning and preparation. As stated in "Huainanzi Tianwenxun": "The son is also the one who is the one "When the child is born, all things sprout, and new hopes and dreams quietly sprout at this moment.
Therefore, people born in the child seem to be born with a different temperament and mission, and they are expected to shine on the lintel in the future, become the pride of the family, and even the pillars of society.
Tatsushi (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.), also known as "the dragon raises its head".
Chenshi (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.), also known as "the dragon raises its head", was endowed with profound cultural connotations and symbolic meanings in the ancient land of China.
In folk customs, Chenshi is regarded as the time when all things are revived and vibrant, just like the ancient poem: "Between the clouds of the White Emperor of the court, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." This not only depicts the magnificent scene of the first dawn, but also the beginning of infinite possibilities and hope.
In ancient times, Chenshi had an indissoluble bond with dragons. According to legend, the dragon, as the totem of the Chinese nation, raises its head at the hour of the hour, soars through the clouds, spreads clouds and rains, and nourishes all things.
There is a saying in the Book of Changes: "The clouds are from the dragon, and the wind is from the tiger", when the dragon raises its head, it symbolizes the rise of yang energy between heaven and earth and the vigorous vitality of the growth of all things. Therefore, children born in Tatsushi are believed to have dragon-like vitality and intelligence, and they are born with an extraordinary temperament that is destined to shine on the stage of life.
Zhongyun in "Zengguang Xianwen": "The plan of a day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring." "As the golden hour of the day, the importance of the hour is self-evident. Historically, many outstanding figures are well aware of the preciousness of Chenshi, and they have used this time to cultivate themselves and unite their families to govern the country and the world. For example, Wei Zheng, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, started every day, was diligent in government affairs, and assisted Tang Taizong to create the "rule of Zhenguan", and his wisdom and achievements are still praised by people.
Chenshi, as a symbol of "dragon raising its head", not only carries the deep understanding of time and life of the ancients, but also entrusts the vision and expectation of infinite beauty for the future.
People born at this time seem to be endowed with the power and wisdom of dragons, and their lives are destined to shine like the rising sun, not only illuminating their own path, but also warming the world around them.
Noon (11 p.m. to 13 p.m.), known as "the middle of the day", is the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak.
Noon (11 p.m. to 13 p.m.), known as "the middle of the day", is the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak. As the Book of Songs sings: "The light of the sun shines in all directions." These two short sentences outline the grand scene of the sun shining and everything shining at noon.
Born at such a moment, children seem to be endowed with a sunny personality and extraordinary leadership, they are like the scorching sun at noon, shining and warming people's hearts.
In the folk, there is a proverb: "When a person is born at noon, his body is full of yang energy." That's true. Children born at noon are cheerful and helpful, just like the blazing sun, exuding positive energy all the time.
They have an innate charisma and often become the heart of the team, leading the way. Such children are not only filial to their parents, know how to be grateful and reciprocate, but also win widespread respect and love in society.
I am reminded of the famous sentence in the famous foreign book "Jane Eyre": "The more lonely I am, the more I have no friends, the more I have no support, the more I have to respect myself." "Children born at noon seem to be born with such a kind of self-esteem and self-confidence.
They don't need much praise from the outside world because they are strong enough on the inside. They know their value and they know how to achieve it.
Of course, the midday sun, while blazing, also needs the right shade to reconcile. As the ancients said: "The middle of the day is bright, and the moon is eclipsed." This sentence tells us that everything has its laws of rise and fall.
Children born at noon, although they are born with leadership, also need to learn to back down and listen when appropriate. Only in this way can they go further and more steadily on the road of life.
Hai Shi (9 p.m. to 11 p.m.), also known as "Rending", means the end of the day's work and the beginning of peace.
In traditional Chinese culture, the hour of the day, i.e. between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., is known as "Rending", symbolizing the gradual subsidence of the day's work and hustle and bustle, and the return of all things to tranquility. At this hour, the breath of heaven and earth seems to become extraordinarily soft, as if nature is also preparing for the upcoming rest.
The ancients said: "When people are born, they are blessed." This is not only a good wish for children born at this time, but also contains a profound cultural philosophy.
Historically, there has been no shortage of people who were born in the middle of the year and eventually achieved extraordinary achievements. For example, Confucius, a famous thinker and educator in ancient China, is said to have been born in Hai. He devoted his life to spreading Confucianism, advocating benevolence, courtesy and righteousness, and had a far-reaching influence on later generations, becoming a "sage" who has been passed down through the ages. The life of Confucius is the best interpretation of "profound blessings" and "repaying kindness" - he not only gave wisdom and moral nourishment to the world, but also practiced the spirit of gratitude and giving back to the society with his own actions.
In classical literature, Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions" is not a realistic character, but his image also reflects some characteristics of people born in the early days. Baoyu has a gentle temperament and is full of love for the people around her, especially for women, reflecting a deep sense of gratitude and feedback.
Despite the twists and turns of his fate, that insistence on beautiful emotions is not a kind of spiritual "brilliance"?
These characters not only have a gentle and kind character, but also realize their personal value and give back to the society with perseverance in their respective fields, becoming a veritable "repaying kindness".
Of course, these sayings are all derived from ancient folk traditions, and are integrated into people's yearning and sustenance for a better life. In modern society, we should pay more attention to scientific parenting, believing that each child has its own unique talent and potential, as long as given appropriate education and care, no matter when it is born, it can bloom its own brilliance.
As the world famous novel "The Little Prince" says: "The eyes cannot see the real thing, and you must use your heart to see clearly." "True happiness and success come from inner kindness, hard work and perseverance, not simply the words of the hour.
