What does the sentence "Men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the twelfth lunar month" mean?

Many customs and habits have been circulated in China for thousands of years, resulting in many proverbs passed down from generation to generation. They can always say a word or two, which seems a bit strange, but it makes sense to ponder carefully, because most of them come from life, so it is very interesting for contemporary young people to know some customs and knowledge properly, and they can also enrich themselves.

1. What does "men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the twelfth lunar month" mean?

Because in China people's minds, men are masculine and women are feminine, which creates a balance between Yin and Yang. Nowadays, more and more single men are unbalanced, which is also caused by some patriarchal ideas.

August is the hottest time, and men belong to Yang. If boys are born at this time, it will have an inappropriate meaning, which will have an impact on the future road, which means that they will encounter bumps, while women are negative. The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time in winter, which also means that they are born at the wrong time. Therefore, "men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the twelfth lunar month" is an ill-timed and bumpy fate.

2. "Men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the twelfth lunar month" has another meaning.

Of course, in addition to this meaning, in ancient times, August was the busiest time, when plowing and harvesting in the fields, and most of these manual jobs were done by men, who undertook most of them.

Of course, the twelfth lunar month is the time to celebrate the New Year. At this time, it is necessary to clean, wipe and clean inside and outside. These are all done by women, so there is a saying that men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the twelfth lunar month.

Therefore, these customs and sayings handed down from ancient times have some truth in life, but they are not intertwined with fate. One's fate is in one's own hands, not decided by bad times or auspicious days. Therefore, if you want to have a good life and a good destiny, you must work hard and constantly learn to enrich yourself.
