Men are afraid of three, six and nine, and women are afraid of one, four and seven, right?

Men are afraid of three, six and nine, and women are right to be afraid of one, four and seven.

In rural areas, old people often say, "Men are afraid of three, six and nine, and women are afraid of one, four and seven." I didn't understand the meaning at first, but later I learned that people generally regard it as a prediction of age. If you have these figures at your age, you are prone to minor illnesses and major disasters this year, and people who toss about are restless. Whenever people take these figures with them, they are always careful for fear of any accident.

After consulting some materials, I don't know when this statement began, and there is no detailed written record. It was only through word of mouth that it was preserved. Moreover, there are many versions, such as "men are afraid of 369, women are afraid of 147", "men account for 285, women account for 369" and so on, and there is no unified statement.

These may stem from the worship of numbers in ancient times. In the past, people were generally less educated and lacked the most basic scientific knowledge. People prefer a certain number or certain numbers, which can still be seen today. When encountering certain things in life, everyone likes to choose some auspicious days, such as marriage, marriage, full moon, moving and so on. Moreover, people generally like even numbers, and there is a saying of yes-men, which is relatively poor for some singular numbers.

However, there is no scientific basis, just human psychology. There is also a saying that this is to remind the elderly to pay attention to protecting their health. In addition, this is also an exhortation to children, hoping to care more about the elderly. There are many proverbs and old sayings in rural areas with similar meanings, and compulsory requirements may not be implemented effectively. If the agreement becomes common, some old sayings will be made up, and people will naturally believe it after it is widely circulated.

In addition, in rural areas, all kinds of banquets are the most common, among which drinking is inevitable. After the rise of drinking, it will even be "369", which is undoubtedly very harmful. However, many rural women like to play mahjong in their spare time to kill time. People often say that "258,000" is actually related to playing mahjong. "Men are afraid of 369 and women are afraid of 258" may also be an exhortation.

There are many old sayings in the countryside, and we just need to refer to them. You can't worship blindly, otherwise "superstition" will bring bad consequences.
