Solar terms for giving birth to children

Twenty-four solar terms are a method for ancient Chinese farmers to divide time nodes and calculate the date of farming, so the twenty-four solar terms are mainly formulated according to the regular time of farmers' farming, and have nothing to do with having children. So this is totally superstition, and there is no scientific reason at all.

The only connection is that having children in the 24 solar terms will affect the farming season, because women have to confinement after giving birth, and their families have to confinement when confinement, so there is less labor to work in the fields. For example, planting rice requires the whole family to dispatch seedlings together. After this period, the survival rate of rice seedlings is particularly low.

Like the vernal equinox, the family will go to the fields to dig the soil together. If you don't turn over the soil, farmers will easily die when farming.

Because people used to farm in ancient times, livestock was too expensive to buy. Therefore, the workload of people will be particularly heavy, and the whole family will mobilize when farming. This is why the ancients liked to let their wives have boys, because old boys was able to work hard and reproduce his descendants, which made his family's population more and more prosperous.

So the only possibility is that when giving birth to a child, a large part of the family will focus on looking after the child, and fewer people will work in the fields, which will miss the best period of farming.

But the 24 solar terms have nothing to do with the fate of children, nor can they determine the fate of children, so even if you have children at this time, it is nothing more than a waste of labor to look after children at home.

Therefore, when farmers give birth to children in rural areas, they generally avoid the 24 solar terms and let the laborers at home go to work in the farmland. But rich people don't pay attention to these things at all. They can be born whenever they want, because they don't have to work in the fields.

But farmers must pay attention to the time, or they will miss the farming season, which may affect their annual rations.
