Why did the ancient beheading happen after autumn? Why is it a quarter past three?

In fact, through many film and television dramas, it can be found that in ancient times, when a condemned man was executed and beheaded, he would wait for one. Jishi? , that is, three o'clock at noon. This is because ancient times was a feudal society, and people feared ghosts and gods in their hearts and believed in their existence. At noon, when the sun is at its maximum, beheading will prevent ghosts from appearing because of the dead, so everyone has this pressure.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that in ancient times, no matter what you do, you should pay attention to a good day and an hour. Because in ancient times, it was believed that everything should conform to the weather, so Dong Zhongshu's perception of heaven and man came into being. For four days, the king had four governments: celebrating spring, enjoying summer, punishing autumn and punishing winter? . It can be seen that it is also appropriate to jump out of a death row.

Moreover, in an ancient feudal society, it was believed that people had souls after death and existed in the underworld. At 3 noon, the sun is the biggest and the sun is the strongest. As we all know, only the living have yang, while the dead or ghosts have yin. When the sun is the strongest, the death row will be executed, which can prevent the death row from producing ghosts.

In ancient times, each of the twelve hours was divided into the beginning and the right, and three hours of noon literally meant three hours of noon. But the most vigorous time of true yang is the third quarter in the afternoon. According to the current time, it is 1 1: 45.

Besides the reason of yang, there are other factors. As we all know, when the sun is the biggest at noon, we are also quite tired and always sleepy mentally, and the ancients are no exception. They think that beheading death row inmates at this time can alleviate the pain of death row inmates, because they are not as nervous as usual when they are mentally exhausted.

This statement is also recorded in many official history. However, this is completely funny to many people. You should know that you can't doze off in do or die.
