There is a saying in the countryside that' women are afraid of being born at noon and men are afraid of being born at midnight'. Is it important to have boys and girls?

Living in the countryside, you will often hear the old people in the village say some rural proverbs. Although the old farmers have little education, when it comes to proverbs, they are all set after set, that is, talking about money after dinner and warning future generations' insights. However, proverbs are experiences summed up in different historical periods, which are more or less limited. Even some proverbs may not be applicable in the contemporary era, but the wisdom of farmers is obvious to all. Let's talk about them today.

In order to calculate the date, the ancients invented the chronology of dry branches. The evidence is that the old farmer tore up the desk calendar at home. Farmers still like to read the almanac when they do things. These twelve earthly branches correspond to the zodiac and gradually evolve into twelve points. Noon refers to noon, when the sun is shining, and generally refers to 1 1 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon. This hour is an opportunity for yin and yang to change. For animals, only the horse stands to rest, so it belongs to the horse at noon, when the yin is heaviest, usually from 23: 00 to 1 in the morning, when the sun and the moon alternate, that is, the cathode is yang and the ground branch should be water.

Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of being born at midnight', which means that girls had better not be born at noon, because the ancients thought that women were yin and men were yang. If girls are born at noon, they will be masculine, which is contrary to the feminine beauty of women in ancient concepts, while boys had better not be born at midnight, so boys will lose their masculinity and have a queen's temperament, and it is difficult to succeed when they grow up.

In fact, every baby in every family is an adult's heart now. Whether it is a male treasure or a female treasure, as long as it is healthy, whether it is born during the day or arrival at night, it is the apple of parents' eye. Therefore, the phrase' women are afraid of being born at noon and men are afraid of coming in the middle of the night' in rural areas is meaningless.
