What is the meaning of the rural proverb: male occupying thirty-eight is a showman, female occupying thirty-eight will be widowed?

In our ancient times, there will be divination, I Ching such a saying. Of course it still exists now, but now, the people who read the hangings may be slightly less. Currently some of the reading of the trigrams only exists in a small part of some cities, which are already very few. Some of the other trigrams will probably be found in temples and such, so that some venues can be sought. These trigrams are based on the birthdate, or the five elements and other such things projected, in fact, is also a summary.

These common phenomena, if it can help people's lives to be enhanced and improved, I think there is also the value of existence. As long as it is not something that disrupts people's lives and makes them negative, depressed, etc., then I think it's still, well, worth believing in. At least in everyone's mind like a thought or a kind of faith it, in short, is to urge everyone to progress, is valuable existence.

In the ancient times, the examination of people will figure a good luck, so will look for these trigrams as speculation. Three eights refers to the 8th, 18th, and 28th of each month, which is related to the number 8. There are three numbers related to 8 in a month, so it is called 38. The date on which the number 8 is on the station, then it is favorable for the examination, and for the male students, it is the meaning of the examination to seek for the merit of the scholar. People believe in the number 8 for the purpose of good luck, so they believe in the number 8 for the purpose of good luck.

But the 8-digit date is not very friendly to women. I don't know why, but there is a saying that a woman who is 38 will be widowed. This saying is not friendly with the 8. 8 is not a bad date for women, but as a birthdate they will project a widowhood event. For this kind of unlucky thing, we still don't believe in it too much. Because believing in something that gives us hope and guidance for a better life is worth believing in, but if it's negative, it's still just a saying, so it's not worth believing in. Because we want our lives to get better and better, so we have to be selective.
