The people are very particular about the birth time and naming of a person. Even now, when many families like to add new students, they like to find some educated elderly people to name their children, and some even spend money directly to find masters to choose a good name that is conducive to future development.
The old saying "Men are afraid of bringing the sky when they are young, and women are afraid of bringing the immortal at noon" is about the advantages and disadvantages of birth and some taboos when naming. Let’s talk about the specific meaning of this old saying.
First of all, the first sentence is "A man is afraid of his son and will lead the sky."
The "Zi Shi" in this sentence is the hour that the ancients often said. 24 hours a day are divided into twelve hours, and "Zi Shi" is from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning. "Daitian" means that when you choose a name, the name contains the word "tian". The meaning of this sentence is that a man was born at midnight and his name contains the word "tian". These two things have a bad impact on a man's future luck, health, etc.
Why did the ancients think so? Is there any scientific reason? It is generally recognized that men are "yang" and women are "yin". Midnight is the most yin moment of the day. If a boy is born at this time, yin and yang are incompatible, and yin is strong in yang. The ancients thought that boys born at this time had a cowardly personality, no backbone in doing things, and lacked masculinity. This personality is called "mother" by modern people, which means indecisive and hesitant. It is generally difficult for men with this personality to make achievements in their careers, so the ancients said that "men are afraid of children." In fact, people have very different personalities, and it is difficult to define which personality is good or bad. After all, whether a man’s career is successful or not is mainly inseparable from hard work and opportunity.
Besides, why the ancients were afraid of men with the word "tian" in their names. If you are careful, you can find that people used to be cautious and careful in their names. Generally, no one's name contained the word "tian". This is because in the eyes of the ancients, only "tian" is the largest in all things in the world. Even the dignified emperor of a country dare not be called "tian", but "son of heaven", which means "son of heaven".
As an ordinary person, if he obtains the word "天" in his name, it will seem a bit big. After that, it will not only be disrespectful to God, but also blaspheme and infringe on the emperor's reputation and authority, and in serious cases may lead to the crime of beheading. Besides, there is also the saying among the people that "there is a cheap name and is easy to support", so there are very few people who choose the name of the common people with the word "tian", but there are many people who call it "a dog, a cat" and "iron egg".
Let’s look at the next sentence “Women are afraid of bringing fairies at noon”.
Actually, this sentence means almost the same as the previous sentence. Everyone knows that women belong to "yin", and the sunshine at noon is the most prosperous time of the day. In our eyes, women are "soft and weak" and full of feminine beauty. However, if a woman is born at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, and yang is better than yin, the woman's personality will tend to be masculine, become rough, reckless, and not care about the details. She will completely lose the feminine beauty that women should have in the eyes of the ancients, and will completely become a "other type" among women.
The name of a woman has the word "xian" in her name, which is also a big taboo when naming her names in ancient times. It is like the word "天" in a male name. It is mainly because the name is too large. People believe that it will infringe on the dignity of gods and offend the authority of gods, and may be punished, affecting luck, health and even life.
Of course, now it seems that "men are afraid of bringing the sky when they are young, and women are afraid of bringing the immortals at noon" has no scientific and reasonable explanation, and there is no convincing reason. In addition, many men and women with "heaven" in their names live a very happy life. This shows that this old saying is not accurate, but in ancient times this statement. People believe it deeply, but from this point we can feel the progress of the times and the changes in people's thoughts and ideas.
