"Why are the boys in ancient times called' Tianding'? What is the reason? "

Because the T stands for a man aged 65,438+06-60, the boy born is called Tianding, because he will take the responsibility of farming at home when he grows up, and he will go to work when he has the labor force.

In ancient times, a boy was born in a family, and the boy's family status was very high, because the main income in ancient times was to support the whole family by farming. Although the newborn boy is not mature enough to work, he can bring high income to his family as long as he is trained for a period of time.

In ancient times, the division of labor between men and women was very different. Women are mainly responsible for cooking or knitting at home. Men are in charge of farming. In ancient times, food was very important, and food was the most important thing for the people, but women did not have the ability to farm. Giving birth to a girl is called adding a mouth, which means that there is one more person in the family, one more mouth to eat, but one more hand to plow the land.

In ancient times, women's family status was predictably low. Besides serving the husband and family, it is more important to add new members to the family. Only in this way will there be more and more laborers, and the family, old and young, will not rely entirely on a able-bodied man, and someone will help him share the housework.

The age of a healthy person has a certain range. When he was over 60 years old, there was no son to take over the labor service instead of him. The whole family will face a low grain output, and there is not enough food for a big family. This is a very dangerous thing. So women in the family will have children with the goal of having boys.

In ancient times, there was no ceremony to give birth to a boy but a girl. The population of the family is also calculated according to Ding, which also refers to the number of people who will pay taxes in the future court. It is normal for men to pay taxes.
