Old people often say, "Men are afraid of midnight and women are afraid of noon". What does this mean?

People in China think it is sunny during the day and cloudy at night. Men are sunny and women are cloudy. This means that men are born in the middle of the night with the strongest yin, which is harmful to masculinity, while women are born at noon with the strongest yang, which is harmful to femininity.

There are many proverbs handed down from generation to generation in China since ancient times. It is the wisdom insight and summary of our ancestors on life and life. Some are easy to understand, some are poetic, but they all contain infinite meaning. For example, if you ask this proverb, I don't know whether you think "Night Watch" and "Noon" are haunted by day or night, or whether men are afraid to go out at night and women are afraid to go out during the day. This understanding is half right. Ancestors should pay attention to more than these.

China people always pay attention to the gossip of Yin and Yang, and use the combination of Yin and Yang to explain the birth of everything in the Book of Changes. Men are masculine and women are feminine, days are masculine and nights are feminine. "Midnight" refers to the time when yin is heaviest, and "noon" refers to the time when the sun is strongest at noon. This means that when a male with "Yang" attribute is born on the heaviest night in Yin Qi, it will damage his own "Yang Qi" and lead to infirmity. On the contrary, a feminine woman born at noon will also damage her feminine spirit, that is, "men are afraid of the night and women are afraid of noon."

This sentence actually smacks of feudal superstition. How does birth affect people's numerology and luck? But China people have been superstitious about this since ancient times, not only Yin and Yang, but also Jin Mu said that a person's birthday can determine many things, including career prospects and marriage and love, and even ask fortune tellers to calculate a good birthday for their children. We can't completely deny or believe these proverbs and superstitions, but we should take their essence and discard their dross.

The above is my personal opinion, I hope it will help you.
