People who have lived in rural areas since childhood often hear an old saying that "women are afraid of being born at noon, while men are afraid of being born at midnight". Literally, this sentence feels a little exaggerated, because after all, the time of giving birth can not be decided at will, but in ancient feudal times, male chauvinism dominated, distinguishing between men and women, that is, women's yin and yang and men's yang. At noon and during the day, Yang's mood is very heavy.
The first half of this sentence means that the sun is strongest at noon, so in ancient times, beheading was usually performed at noon. Because the yang is heavier at this time, and women belong to yin, if a girl is born at noon, it is not good for the child's health, because the child is very weak at birth, and the noon sun shines on the girl with yin and yang, which will be unbalanced and easy to get into trouble in the future. In the same sense, men are masculine. If he was born in the middle of the night, at that time, the yin and yang were heavier and unbalanced, which was also unfavorable to the newborn child.
Because the medical level at that time was not good, minor illnesses could kill people, so it came down to this sentence. In ancient times, children went to a Taoist priest instead of a doctor when they were sick, and they were fine.
