What is the specific meaning of the old rural saying "don't be greedy for three colors, don't like eating more, and don't move five points"? Before answering this question, we should have a preliminary understanding of "Geng". "Geng" is a concept of ancient people's division of night time. It's a watch from 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm, a watch from 9: 00 pm to 1 1 to 1 in the morning, a watch from 1 to 3: 00 am, and a watch from 3: 00 am to 5: 00 am.

Not greedy for three colors

The phrase "don't be greedy for the third night" means that people should not have extramarital affairs during the period of 1 1 in the evening to 1 in the morning. In the eyes of the ancients, the period from evening 1 1 to morning 1 was the heaviest. People should sleep peacefully and exercise less. This "exercise" certainly includes husband and wife. From a scientific point of view, this period is the best time for people to rest and fall asleep. At this time, most people are very tired and don't have much energy, and all organs of the body need to rest. If the husband and wife do things at this time, it will affect the metabolism of the whole organ and lead to physical weakness.

As the name implies, "not eating more" means that people don't eat between 7 pm and 9 pm. Nowadays, people are very particular about eating, having a full lunch and eating less dinner. In fact, the ancients thought it was even more inedible. The so-called first class is about 7: 00 to 9: 00 p.m.

Some people wonder, isn't 7: 00 to 9: 00 pm the dinner time for most people? Why can't I eat? It's amazing. It should be noted here that it will be dark after seven o'clock in the evening. There is no fluorescent lamp or desk lamp, so we can only wash and sleep, and sing a poem and say a correct sentence at most.

Nowadays, many people work overtime until around 8 pm, go home for dinner, and then take care of themselves and their children, which is almost after 10 in the evening. At this time, many people's nightlife has just begun, and the streets are full of kebabs, lobster stalls, shabu-shabu shops, bars and so on. , eat and drink. At this point, someone said to you, "Don't love more food", and you might say, "Come here and promise not to hurt you"!

So, what does it mean to be angry if you don't move? People shouldn't get angry between 3 am and 5 am. I was sleepy at dawn in the fifth watch. If I get angry at this time, I will lose my good mood all day.
