The child hour refers to the two hours from the field 1 1 to the next morning 1. The concept of hour that we are all using now is called big food in ancient times, which means two hours. From 1 1 at night to 1 the next morning, this time is the season of courage. What does "season" mean? On duty in the season. During this period, the gallbladder meridian was on duty here, so it was called the gallbladder meridian of the season.
China ancient culture attached great importance to this morning. When the child is born, it is the darkest time of the day, and the yang begins to grow. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "all the eleven zang's depend on bravery". What does courage depend on? Depending on the growth of bile. We often have such experiences in our daily life. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, we are easily sleepy, but at night 1 1, we just wake up. Why? This is because the sun's spirit began to grow at this time.
? So, how did childhood bile form? The gallbladder meridian starts from the outer corner of a person's eye, measures all the way along the person's head, and then goes down along the person's measuring surface until it reaches the little toe and the fourth toe of the foot (the penultimate toe next to the little toe). When we are tired, we like to hold our arms high, which is an action to stretch the gallbladder meridian to cheer up the yang. After we yawn, people appear more energetic, which is also an image of courage. When we don't think clearly and have enough determination, we often do an action-scratching our heads. In fact, the place where we scratch is the place where the gallbladder meridian passes, which is to stimulate the gallbladder meridian and help us make decisions.
Why in the zodiac! Take "mouse" as the head
Why does it start with a mouse in the zodiac? What are the commonalities among the animals of the zodiac, the ugly cow, the elephant and the elephant? This actually tells us that although gallbladder is the main source of hair growth, Yang is still very small at this time, just like a mouse, and the mouse is Nocturnal Animals, although small, but very active. This is a little bit of yang deficiency, not too big, but you must keep something full of water in it. This is equivalent to the sharpest point of white fish in Taiji diagram, which is called the fire of shaoyang. That "fire" is the fundamental thing of all yang, and it is the place with the most vitality. The last hair of yang should grow from here. This is why the Chinese zodiac is headed by rats.
