As mothers, we all hope that our children will be full of blessings, have a smooth life, and be well-dressed.
So many mothers will pay attention to the child's zodiac sign and the date of birth.
And the older generation believes that whether a child is blessed or not can be seen from the month of birth, such as this sentence " The lucky person is in June and August, and the unlucky person is in the twelfth lunar month".
As the name suggests, it is the most blessed for a child to be born in the lunar calendar in June and August, and if the child is born in the first month and the twelfth lunar month, it may be a little "hard".
Is the old saying "the lucky people are in June and August, and the unlucky people are in the twelfth lunar month", is it completely superstitious?
Qiqi's due date is in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which is also a very hot time. Originally, she felt that confinement on a hot day was uncomfortable and unbearable.
But after my mother-in-law came over, she kept boasting that the child was lucky and would choose a day.
Kiki doesn't understand, how is the baby born in June so lucky?
My mother-in-law said that the old saying "the lucky people are in June and August, and the unfortunate people are in the twelfth month" is summed up by many generations, and it makes sense.
has lived most of his life, and those around him who were born in June and July are now doing very well.
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Qiqi felt a lot more happy and relaxed. Since children born in summer are lucky, even if confinement is hot, it is worth it.
Because we pay attention to luck and fate, plus some common sayings that have been passed down from experience, many people think that a person's fate is innate, and this determination will also be reflected in certain aspects, such as children's birthday.
In fact, the true meaning of the saying "the lucky people are in June and August, and the unlucky people are in the twelfth lunar month" has been misunderstood.
The "blessing" here refers to some favorable objective conditions after the child is born with , while does not represent the child's future development and life.

2. In June and August, there is food and leisure.

The fifth month of the lunar calendar is the wheat harvest season and is the busiest time, so there is no one to take care of mothers and newborns.
If the child is born in June or August, the farm work at home is finished, the family has enough food, and there is time to take care of the child and the mother.
And the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month is during the Spring Festival period. The Spring Festival is an important traditional festival. Everyone is busy with the New Year, and there are many things to be busy with.
Many people have no time to take care of children born at this time.
Children are frail at birth. During the Spring Festival, and set off firecrackers for a lot of time, crackling, and children can't sleep well at night, and some young children may be frightened.

3. There are many kinds of food in June and August
In June and August, due to the high temperature, a lot of fruits and vegetables are on the market, and there are many things to eat.

The mother is well nourished and the milk is sufficient, and the baby will naturally grow strong.
Because there was no greenhouse technology before, the production capacity of in the first month of the twelfth lunar month was very limited, and the food in the first lunar month of the twelfth lunar month was not sufficient, which made life even more difficult for the poor.
Written in the farming society before the last
