Midnight traditional culture

Because boys belong to Yang and girls belong to Yin, China people pay attention to the harmony of Yin and Yang, and noon happens to be the peak of the spirit of the sun. If you give birth to a girl who belongs to Yin, it will definitely be a bit unlucky. Midnight is the peak period, and it is a bit unlucky for a boy who belongs to Yang to be born. This is why women are afraid to be born at noon and men are afraid to be born at midnight. These things may sound absurd and illogical now, but in the previously unscientific society, these proverbs and customs have become people's way of knowing nature.

Women are afraid of being born at noon, while men are afraid of being born at midnight, which reflects a cultural custom that the ancients attached importance to yin and yang. In ancient society, Yin and Yang became the main logic of people's cognition of society. Almost everything in life can be explained by the theory of Yin and Yang. For example, it is sunny during the day and cloudy at night, the sun is sunny, the moon is cloudy, it is sunny in summer and cloudy in winter, the windows of the house face south and north, and most importantly, it is sunny for men and cloudy for women. People think that the integration of yin and yang is the best.

Why did people in the past say that "women are afraid of being born at noon"? This is because this period of noon is considered as the time when the sun is at its peak. Women are considered yin, so girls born at this time may be considered unlucky, because yin and yang will collide.

Similarly, men are afraid of midnight. Yes 1 1 pm to 1 pm. The ancients believed that this period was the peak of the day in Yin Qi. If it is a boy, it may be difficult to resist the invasion of Yin Qi, because the repulsion of Yin and Yang may affect the health of the child. That's why they think it's not good for boys to be born at midnight.
