There is a saying in the countryside that men account for 38% and women account for 38% and must be widows. What does that mean?

There are many proverbs in Chinese traditional culture. In fact, many times, these proverbs are folk proverbs. Some more scientific and realistic proverbs have become proverbs after being combed by knowledgeable people. If children grow up in the countryside, they should know many proverbs. No one has verified their authenticity, but it's just word of mouth. In today's social development, not so many people will believe these words. As young people gradually leave their hometown to work and study abroad, these things will become uninteresting.

Here, I'll tell you a proverb from the countryside: "A man who accounts for 38 is a scholar, and a woman who accounts for 38 is a widow." At first glance, this sentence likes to be passed around in the circle of rural elderly. There is no factual basis or scientific reason, but as entertainment, just talk casually and see what it means.

In rural areas, I believe some superstitious people think that boys born in grades 8, 18 and 28 will be more blessed. The so-called scholar is related to the eighth grade. Boys born these days will be more promising, become officials and have money.

In other words, there is a special expectation for boys born on the eight related days. It is better not to say that superstition is a blessing. For girls, this sentence is a bit too much. I think girls born now are easy to be widowed after marriage. Of course, this is just a superstition. In traditional culture, the prejudice against women is obvious, and no one talks about it in modern society. Everyone's achievements are achieved by both hands, and not everyone can sit down.
