There are profound sayings in Chinese culture, one of which is an eye-catching proverb "Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight". But what does this old phrase mean?Is there still a relevance behind it?Let's dive in.
In ancient times, people attached great importance to the so-called "Eight Characters of Birth", dividing time into twelve hours and giving it special symbolic meaning. According to traditional belief, noon and noon are considered to be the most vigorous yang, while midnight is considered to be extremely yin. This belief is embodied in many ways, such as the ancient time of questioning and slashing is often chosen at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Why is it said that women born at noon may have a strong personality or a masculine appearance?This theory originates from the ancient belief that women were feminine and feminine, and that excessive yang energy in the middle of the day could cause girls to deviate from traditional expectations of character and appearance. Similarly, males born in the middle of the night are considered to lack masculinity and may lead to decadence in life.
However, these notions lack scientific basis. A child's personality and appearance are influenced by both genes and the acquired environment, and have nothing to do with the time of birth. The beliefs of the ancients may have been a superstitious explanation of the phenomena that could not be explained at the time.
In ancient times, the aesthetic of feminine gentleness and male masculinity was different from modern concepts. In this day and age, soft, diverse aesthetic styles are on the rise, subverting traditional standards. This aesthetic change is worth pondering and introspecting.
Women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight", although it reflects the aesthetic concept of the ancients, it cannot be scientifically confirmed. The vast gap between ancient superstitious ideas and modern science reminds us to examine the conflict between traditional beliefs and reality.
The importance of the hour in ancient sayings reflects the beliefs of the ancients, but it is doubtful that these ideas are applicable to today's society. Perhaps we should take the essence of these traditions, discard their superstitions and dross, and look at the world from a scientific and rational perspective.
Such a re-examination of the conflict between traditional ideas and modern science may lead to more in-depth thinking and discussion.
This interpretation of the ancient saying "women are afraid of being born at noon, and men are afraid of midnight" is quite enlightening. The author first deeply analyzed the ancients' belief in time, and tried to explain the cultural connotation behind this common saying. However, I feel that the article shows clarity in its scientific analysis of ancient ideas, but it also leaves some regrets.
First, when examining traditional ideas from a scientific perspective, the author makes it clear that ancient ideas lack scientific basis, but he does not show more scientific basis in depth. Perhaps it would be more convincing to include relevant studies or examples, and to more fully demonstrate the gap between these ancient ideas and reality.
In addition, although there is a mention of a shift in modern aesthetics, there is a lack of more examples and data to support this view. The change of aesthetic standards in modern society is a complex and pluralistic topic, and more examples may better show the diversity and development trend of aesthetic concepts.
However, the author points out the conflict between ancient ideas and modern science, and proposes the idea of "taking the best of them and discarding the dregs of superstition." This kind of rational and scientific examination of traditional ideas, while retaining the valuable parts of them, is a worthy point of view. This stance respects traditional culture without blind superstition, and it is worth thinking about how to balance the relationship between tradition and modernity.
Overall, this commentary has a certain depth and inspiration for the ancient sayings. However, more scientific evidence and citations of examples from modern society can make this article more comprehensive and convincing. At the same time, emphasizing the process of changing modern aesthetic concepts can also better resonate with the audience and trigger deeper thinking and discussion.
