Although it is analyzed from a scientific point of view, it is completely nonsense. But as a traditional culture, it is also interesting.
This proverb means that if a boy is born at noon, he has a bright future; What if it is a girl? On the contrary, being born in the middle of the night is the most expensive.
So, does this statement make sense?
First of all, we need to find out what time period "noon" and "noon" correspond to here.
People in the old days timed differently from now.
A 24-hour day is divided into 12 hours, and one hour is 2 hours, named after the 12 zodiac. Namely: "Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai."
Hours correspond to the current 24 hours. Specifically, it is 23 ~ 1 o'clock at noon, clown 1 ~ 3 o'clock, 3 ~ 5 o'clock in Yin Shi time, 5 ~ 7 o'clock in Shi Mao time, 7 ~ 9 o'clock in the morning, and the last time is 9 ~ 1 1. Application time 15 ~ 17, unitary time 17 ~ 19, time 19 ~ 2 1, time 2 1 ~ 23.
In this way, we can understand that the older generation said that the better birthday time is 1 1 point for boys and 23: 00 ~ 1 point for girls.
Maybe you will ask, what is the basis of this statement? Of course, there is a lot to say in it.
The ancients advocated the theory that the five elements are mutually dependent on each other, and believed that the material world was conceived, developed and changed under the impetus of the action of two qi.
Everything in the world is a contradictory and unified whole, which can be differentiated and complementary.
For example, the sky is yang, the earth is yin, the day is yang, and the month is yin; Fire is Yang, water is Yin, day is Yang and night is Yin. What about men and women? Male is Yang, female is Yin.
One of the hexagrams is the dry hexagram, that is, the pure yang hexagram, which represents men and implies that men are the pillar and backbone of the family. The second divination is Kun divination, that is, pure yin divination. Representing women means raising and reproducing offspring.
Even the great thinkers in ancient times said, "People with virtue are clear and turbid, dynamic and static; The sky is clear and the earth is muddy; Heaven moves and the earth is still; Men are clear and women are turbid; Men are moving and women are quiet. "
Therefore, people define men as yang and women as yin according to the law of natural change. Men are indomitable, fiery and full of masculinity; Women are reserved, gentle and full of feminine beauty.
At noon? This is the most sunny time of the day. At this time, the sun was hanging in the sky, shining directly on the earth, and the spirit of the sun reached its peak.
Ancient prisoners were executed at three o'clock in the afternoon because they could dispel yang and dispel the entanglement of spells.
Su Shunqin, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in his Poems of Zige Couplets: "See the sun at noon and steam in the fog for half a day." This also shows that Yang is the most prosperous at this time.
Therefore, the ancients believed that a boy born at noon, superimposed with Yang Yang, can fully integrate the spirit, physique and talents of the sun, and will certainly make a vigorous career when he grows up.
It is said that many historical celebrities were born at noon, such as Feng Yuxiang, Tang and Du.
As for midnight, it is the darkest hour of the day. The node between heaven and earth is the most important, where the night is deep, everything is silent and the sun alternates.
The ancients believed that girls were born in childhood and then showed feminine beauty of women. They are worthy of being good wives and mothers. They are rich and expensive.
For example, Wu Zetian, a famous generation in China history and the only female emperor in history, was born on February 23rd, 65438.
Of course, I don't believe this statement.
Wu Zetian has a charming side, but a ruthless wrist. Anbang does not lose to any emperor in history.
Moreover, throughout the ages, boys and girls born in other times have achieved great success and wealth.
For example, Zeng Guofan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, was born in the middle of the night, and his great-grandfather Jing Xigong woke up in his sleep and just got the good news of Zeng Guofan's birth.
What's more, being pregnant in October and giving birth at one time should conform to the physiological law of ripe melons, and when to be born is not dominated by personal will.
Even if modern advanced medical technology can implement surgical delivery, it must be decided according to the expectant state of the parturient.
It can be seen that the sentence "It is rare for men to have noon, but it is rare for women to have midnight" is really unreasonable and indeed ridiculous.
Although there is no lack of luck in life, in the final analysis, we still have to work hard on our own. After all, happiness does not fall from the sky.
The above is related to why girls seldom eat lunch, and it is about the sharing of history. I saw how rich and expensive you were born at noon. I hope this will help everyone!
