The wisdom of the working people in ancient times was infinite. Most people believed that culture and art were often born in the hands of people with high cultural levels, but even farmers facing the loess and backs can create wonderful national culture. The saying is the best example. As the saying goes, the working people observe things around them and summarize effective laws of travel. These laws can often guide future generations' ways of doing things.

The common saying involves a lot of content, including human destiny. There is a saying that "men are afraid of chickens, and women are afraid of sheep". What does this common saying mean? Let’s learn about it together. The literal meaning of the common saying is very simple. From this we are not difficult to see that the ancients believed that men born in the year of the chicken and women born in the year of the sheep were both bad zodiac signs.

You should know that these two animals are one of the twelve zodiac signs. There are quite a few men and women born in the past two years. Why did the ancients think that such a zodiac sign is bad? The zodiac sign is a unique national culture in our country. According to the rule of twelve years, anyone born in the corresponding year has the corresponding zodiac sign.

Then why are boys born in the Year of the Rooster not good? This involves the living habits of the working people in ancient my country. In ancient China, small peasant economy was the main source of life for the ancients. If you want to take good care of these crops and make them grow well, the working people can only get up early and go to the fields to work late.

But in that era without an alarm clock, people could only rely on roosters to crow to remind themselves that it was time to get up. Whenever it is dawn, the rooster crows urges people to get up early to work. This busy life is the norm for most people. In this case, the ancients linked chickens to labor. If a man was a rooster, it means that he had been like a crowing rooster in his life, and he was busy and very tired every day.

The second half of the common saying is also easy to understand, because the word sheep and the word "yang" are homophones. The ancients believed that everything has yin and yang attributes, and men belong to yang, and women belong to yin. If a woman is born in the Year of the Sheep, she will have more yang energy, which is inconsistent with the nature of a woman. In ancient society, the male leads to the outside and the female leads to the inside. What a woman needs to do is to take care of her husband and children. If a woman is as masculine as a man, then the two are prone to conflicts and conflicts.

Once the conflicts between husband and wife increase, it will affect each other's feelings. The ancients believed that women born in the Year of the Sheep are often more difficult to get married, so there is also the saying "Women born in the Year of the Sheep, keep the empty room." This statement was particularly widely circulated during the late Qing Dynasty, because Empress Dowager Cixi, who caused the continuous decline of the Qing Dynasty, had her zodiac sign as sheep.

The average life span of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty was around fifty years old, while only Cixi's husband Xianfeng Emperor lived only 31 years old. Therefore, many people think that it was because Cixi's life spanked, which led to the premature death of Emperor Xianfeng. Of course, the real reason is that Cixi herself was extravagant and knew nothing about the management of political affairs, but she had to take over the power, which eventually led to the continuous decline of the strength of the Qing Dynasty.

There are many other explanations similar to this common saying, such as "Men are afraid of being alone and having three, and women are afraid of being widow having noon". This saying means that men are most afraid of being born at 3:00 am, while women are most afraid of being born at noon. The reason is similar to the common saying of zodiac sign. This is because in the early morning, the yin energy is the most prosperous, and men are yang attributes. At this time, they will be infected with more yin energy, which leads to a lack of masculinity.

If a woman is born at noon, this is the time when the yang energy is strongest, which is not good for the woman to be born. Women born at this time will have more yang energy, which will also cause some new problems. These two common sayings are based on the theory of yin and yang, and this statement has no scientific basis.

The birth time of a child often depends on the mother's condition. If the fetus develops normally, it is not a problem at which time it is born. However, because the medical level in ancient times was not developed, it would be more convenient to deliver the baby if it was born during the day.One is difficult to find a midwife when delivering a child at night, and the other is that insufficient lighting can easily lead to operational errors. As the saying goes, the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people in ancient times, and is their summary of life experience. But with the development of the times, a large part of these common sayings no longer apply. In addition, there are many common sayings based on wrong understanding. This is because the ancient science and technology level is not high, so it is easy to produce wrong summary of laws.

For these common language cultures, we must uphold the correct attitude. We must inherit and develop the correct contents in them and apply them to the actual life. We also need to abandon those wrong common language cultures. This is the endless guarantee of Chinese culture.
