Do you understand the folk saying that "men are afraid of loneliness, women are afraid of widowhood, and wolves are afraid of dogs squatting"?

Men are afraid of loneliness, and women are afraid of widowhood. Looking at the surface of this sentence alone, it seems that men are afraid of loneliness and women are afraid of widowhood, all of which indicate that marriage is not smooth and they become lonely. But on closer examination, the meaning of this sentence is not as simple as it seems. After all, proverbs are not simple descriptions, but generally tell people a truth or experience. This sentence is no exception. It's not that men and women are afraid of becoming widowers and widows, but telling people how to prevent becoming lonely.

In ancient numerology, loneliness and widowhood represent a kind of time. The so-called lonely year refers to the year of the sea, the year of the child and the year of the ugly. Converted into the zodiac, it refers to the year of the pig, the year of the rat and the year of the ox. And widows represent these three years.

For men, if the zodiac is one of pigs, rats and cows, when they meet the silver day, they are called solitary days. The so-called Yin Shi refers to three o'clock to five o'clock in the morning, silver moon refers to the correct month, and the cloudy day refers to the third day in the sixty days of the solar calendar.

According to the traditional view, if such a lucky man marries Yin in these few hours, then the marriage must be unhappy, his wife is different, and he is in danger of divorce or becoming a widower. Therefore, there is a saying that men are afraid of loneliness, so men must avoid these unlucky times when they get married.

For women, if the zodiac is a kind of pig, mouse and cow, it is unlucky to have the eight characters full. Because for such a woman, saying a few words on her birthday is called widowhood. The so-called moon refers to September, the time refers to 7: 00 to 9: 00 pm, and one day is the twelfth day after the nail is nailed.

Just like men, if such an ill-fated woman marries at a sad time, her marriage will also go wrong, and her husband will have an accident, which is in danger of becoming a widow. So this destiny takes a hand woman must avoid these moments when she gets married.

Now it seems that these statements have no scientific basis. In ancient times, the emphasis on birthdays has gradually faded out of people's sight. Marriage between men and women is full of variables, and it is by no means a matter of hours or a few zodiac signs. Don't worry about it. However, the second half of this sentence still has some truth. It is the accumulated experience in people's daily life and can save lives at critical moments.

For example, hunters often shoot wolves with shotguns in the forest, so wolves are afraid of objects like shotguns. If you meet a wolf in the wild, you can pick up a wooden stick to lift it, so that the wolf will be terrified and dare not attack easily, giving people a chance to get away.

Similarly, if you encounter a wild dog attack in the wild, don't turn around and run. After all, people's running speed is far weaker than that of wild dogs. Running away will stimulate the hunting wildness of wild dogs and put people in a more dangerous situation. At this time, all you have to do is squat down quickly, hold the nearby stone in your hand and make a gesture of hitting it with a stone.

It is said that dogs, especially stray dogs, are often stoned by villagers on weekdays, forming a fear of stones. At this time, as long as someone makes a gesture of squatting and throwing stones, the dog will run away because of fear.
