Why is pregnancy called "pregnancy"? Where are you pregnant?

Because in ancient times? Liu Jia? It represents the law of pregnancy, that is, the time of pregnancy, so it is called. Pregnant? Liu Jia is Jiazi, JOE, Shen Jia, Wu Jia, Chen Jia and Jiayin. Speaking of which, many people don't understand why Liu Jia stands for Liu Jia. Actually, it's easy to understand. First of all, in ancient times, people paid attention to the unity of heaven and man, and thought that everything was a gift from heaven, including human beings. Therefore, in the eyes of ancient people, the time in Liu Jia is a gift from heaven.

Since it is said that the ancients attributed the producers of all things in the world to heaven, naturally they thought that people and things were one, so Liu Jia was a part of nature. If everything had to change, it would be a natural problem, such as time, so they used Liu Jia to calculate their pregnancy rules.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taoist teachings recorded:

Liu Jia, Jia Yinmu, main skeleton; Dimethyl morning breeze, the main breath; Before the afternoon fire, the Lord is warm; Jin Shen, the main tooth; Wujia soil, main reinforcement; Hexamethylone water, the main blood. ?

Therefore, it can be seen that in ancient times, if you want to know the growth of the fetus in the abdomen during pregnancy, you can calculate the growth and development of the fetus in the abdomen according to Liu Jia.

In fact, women who have given birth to children should have heard such a sentence, right? Having a baby is like going to the gate of hell? Giving birth to a child is really like this. As the saying goes, women give birth to children, mothers rush to die, and sons rush to live. So in ancient times, did the ancients also believe? Liu Jia fetal god? In order to pray for the safety of mother and fetus, the ancients pinned all their hopes on God, so did it come later? Fetal god? Say it.

"Lu Ban Jing" mentioned the six-legged fetal god:

? It has been three days, and the sixth child is a god, occupying the gate.

Although this statement seems to violate science now, in ancient times, people believed in these ghosts and gods very much. As we said above, they believed in God.

Of course, in addition to these historical records and historical evidence, there are actually many explanations about Liu Jia, and folklore is also emerging one after another. Some people say that Liu Jia means that pregnant women are very hard. Whether they are sitting or lying down, they look like they are wearing six pieces of armor. Others say that a newborn baby is like a 60-year-old man, and a 60-year-old man represents one, so there is such a saying, but these are folklore and can only be heard as jokes.
