The meaning of Gregorian calendar 147

Men are afraid of 369, women are afraid of 147. These three six nine and one four seven refer to the last digit of age respectively.

In fact, this proverb has another meaning. Here, "369" can be understood as a guessing game played by men together. Men, it is inevitable to drink when they get together, and they will never get drunk when they are in a good mood.

As the saying goes, "a slip of the tongue after drinking." You may still be sober after drinking, but your behavior is completely out of control and you don't know what you said.

If you drive, you must not drink. "Drunk driving" is a particularly serious matter, and ignoring life will naturally be greatly punished. So the first half of this proverb tells men to drink moderately and play games, and not to drink too much, because drinking often delays important things.

Expanding information is actually a psychological effect. In the past, two saints died at the age of 73 and 84 respectively. People die often, and when they die is unknown. If you don't take good care of your health, once you get an incurable disease, you will be very sad in the future. If you control your schedule reasonably and take good care of your health, you may live a long life.

Life and death are unpredictable things. If we have to find a rule in this matter, it is superstition. We all advocate science now. Perhaps people used to be superstitious, but now more people choose to believe in science, which is also the progress of the times.
