"It's dangerous to go out alone at night, but it's safer to stay at home. ”
In ancient and modern times, the way we grasp time is completely different, which can be said to be a huge contrast in our understanding of time. In today's society, our understanding of years, months and days may be different from that of the older generation.
For example, traditional festivals, such as the Spring Festival, vary in time from year to year on the Gregorian calendar, which makes students' winter break sometimes long and sometimes short, triggering student complaints.
However, the new holidays are fixed on the time of the Gregorian calendar, such as National Day and Labor Day, which are celebrated on October 1 and May 1 every year, in line with international standards.
The new calendar and the lunar calendar have different backgrounds and application scenarios, which makes them different in how they calculate time. The new calendar originated in Western society, promulgated by the Pope of Rome in the late 16th century, and introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty.
Originating from China, the lunar calendar is a classic solar calendar, born in an agrarian society to grasp weather changes to ensure the growth of planted crops. Therefore, the new calendar and the lunar calendar each have their own unique historical and cultural backgrounds, providing a reference for different occasions and needs.
In the division of the lunar calendar, the year is divided into 12 new months, of which the minor new moon has 29 days and the major new month has 30 days. In an agrarian society, the ancients went out early and returned late every day, busy with the land, and had no entertainment at night.
Therefore, they divided the day into 12 hours, each of which is the time of the present two hours. In ancient times, the time of "one watch" was different from our current method of calculating time, which was equivalent to between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. today.
Night owls, you know what?"One more food" and "three more colors" are the enemies of health!The so-called "not loving a change of food" actually refers to eating less at night, because in ancient times, the livelihood of farmers was very difficult, often eating the last meal without the next, if there were natural and man-made disasters, there would be famine.
However, this seemingly accidental way of health preservation is actually in line with the metabolic laws of Western medicine, which is very beneficial to our physical health. So, from today onwards, you should also control your appetite at night and maintain a healthy lifestyle!
The harm of overeating] The activity of human organs is reduced at night, and the ancient adage of "not loving a change of food" means that you should eat a good breakfast. In ancient times, people's work and rest were synchronized with the sun, and in order to keep their spirits full of energy, they advocated going to bed early and getting up early, and eating a good breakfast.
The sight of people farming in ancient times is still impressive today. Back then, farmers had to rely on the weather to decide when to plant and harvest. Now, advances in technology have allowed us to have better control over the agricultural environment, thereby increasing the yield and quality of crops.
Although we are no longer completely dependent on nature as we were in ancient times, we still need to respect and protect our environment to ensure sustainable agricultural development.
At the third watch, it was already between 11 and 1 a.m., and it was already silent. Even in modern society, most people have fallen asleep at this point in time.
However, unlike modern humans, the ancients often stayed up late, and their sleep intervals were often close to 24 hours. Therefore, the ancients may have had a higher risk of sudden death if they stayed up late.
In modern society, it is still very important to protect your physical and mental health. Due to the oiliness of modern diets, the burden on the kidneys and heart is greater than in ancient times.
In addition, people in modern society are more open to the idea of sexuality, so their behavior in this regard may be more indulgent than in ancient times.
Color has the power of a double-edged sword) Therefore, as the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will definitely taste the bitterness in a short time. In dealing with traditional culture, we have always followed the principle of discarding dross and absorbing the essence.
Nowadays, however, many young people have forgotten how the lunar calendar is calculated; There are also many young people who indulge their desires and ignore the warnings of the proverb. Young people are undoubtedly the masters of the future, and it remains to be seen whether our old sayings will survive.
