The last child predicted the next child, and five years later, she came back with the triplets Mengbao.

The men and women who predicted the next baby apologized to the readers again, and it took almost 2 months to update this time. I have been raising a baby at home, and I really can't update it. Please forgive me! Speaking of pregnancy, it has been nearly ten months before and after, and I believe many expectant mothers and prospective fathers will be curious about whether this upcoming life is male or female.

However, it is really not allowed to check men and women in advance now, so we can only wait patiently until the day when the baby is born to solve this mystery that has plagued us for ten months. However, for the ancients, how to predict the sex of the fetus during this pregnancy is a major event. After all, based on the ancient environment, giving birth to boys has become the "lifelong career" of most women in ancient times, which has to be said to be a tragedy under the background of the times.

I want to put a picture like this at the moment.

All right, let's put aside the aspects. After all, there are many such things. Based on the underdeveloped medical technology in ancient times, people urgently need to know the sex. How did the ancients predict the sex of the fetus? Are these accurate or not?

In fact, today, there are still some predictions about men and women, such as the following. It is estimated that every pregnant mother has heard one or two sentences more or less:

(1) The mother looks serious and will give birth to a boy; Kind expression, there will be girls. (2) If the sides of the stomach are wide, girls will be born; A boy will be born in the middle. (3) If the mother's diet changes, a boy will be born; If you don't change, girls will be born. (4) The fetus kicked to the right side of the mother's stomach is a boy, and the one kicked to the left is a girl. (5) If the mother wants to eat sweets (spicy), she will have a girl; Like to eat sour food, maybe there is a boy. (6) The fetus in the mother's belly moves frequently and is a girl; On the contrary, for boys. (7) the woman's family will have a boy; Girls will be born in the husband's family: (8) girls will be born if the reaction is mild; Serious will give birth to a boy. (9) The mother is gentle and will give birth to girls; Soon, a boy will be born. (10) Mom often eats meat and gives birth to girls; Eating green vegetables often will give birth to boys. (1 1) After the abdomen develops gradually, a boy will be born. (12) If the hair or eyebrows of the hand become thinner, a boy will be born; Constant meeting gives birth to a girl: (13) The instantaneous reaction of fetal movement is a boy; I have a stomachache. It is a girl. (14) When there are black spots and freckles on the face, it is difficult to make up, and a boy will be born. (15) The mother's belly sags and gives birth to a boy; A girl will be born near her stomach. (16) Boys will be born to mothers with deeper depression, and girls will be born to mothers with less depression. (17) If one fetus has horizontal stripes on its thigh, the next fetus has a high probability of giving birth to a boy; If there are two stripes, the probability of giving birth to a girl next time is high. (18) If one child is a boy and gets pregnant within 1~2 years, the second child will also have a boy; If the interval is 4~5 years, the probability of giving birth to a girl is high.

As for whether it is credible, mothers can compare it, and the accuracy may not be very high.

Written in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the ancient storyteller "Wu Wang Jianping Hua (Middle)" has this content:

"One day, da ji said,' A child (catalpa) can tell whether it is a male or a female in a pregnant woman's belly.' The king said, "How do you know?" Da ji said,' I'm afraid the king won't believe me. Try to distinguish several pregnant women from male servants and female servants.' The king said,' According to the Qing Dynasty. I declare that I am pregnant with your highness's child. Zhou Wang asked Da Tian:' Is that a person? "Is that a woman?" da ji called the woman to sit down and get up again. Da ji said:' The man who lifts his left foot first, and the woman who lifts his right foot first. "

There is a saying in ancient books that Zhou Wang dissected a pregnant woman, and it was very early. Mozi Mingxia: "In the past, Wang Yin burned crimes and only took pregnant women." China's ancient poem Shang Shu Tai Shi Shang said: "Burning loyalty, hooking up with pregnant women." Kong Anguo biography: "That pregnant woman, just have a look." Depending on the sex of the fetus. Many books, such as White Tiger Li Tongle and Huai Nan Zi Dao Ying Xun, have described this, but they have not explained how to judge the sex of the fetus first. Zhou Wang's evil is a tortuous move. At that time, he already had some kind of judgment, perhaps the so-called "male left female right".

It has been passed down to this day, and was adopted by writers in the era of "Wu Wang Jian Ping Hua" to broaden readers' knowledge and enhance the novelty of the book. There is no reason why men are left and women are right in the book, and there is no textual research. Obviously, the author himself doesn't know its context and reliability. The literature of speaking and singing naturally contributed to the spread of this statement.

As early as the Book of Songs, it was recorded that pregnant women dreamed that bears gave birth to men and snakes gave birth to women: "What about Ji Meng? Wei Xiong is a majestic snake. Adults occupy it: Xiong Weiwei, an auspicious person; Wei Wei Wei snake, the auspiciousness of women. "

It is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine to diagnose gender through the pulse condition and behavior of pregnant women. The Pulse Classic written by Wang Shuhe, a native of A Jin, puts forward that the physique of the fetus will affect the state of the mother, so we can infer the physique characteristics of the fetus by diagnosing and treating the pulse condition of pregnant women. It is considered that the left hand pulse belongs to yang and the right hand pulse belongs to yin, so the pulse condition of pregnant women is "the left hand is heavy and the right hand is floating, which is female;" Hands are heavy and solid, and two men are born; Two girls are born with floating hands. "Further judging by the pulse of the ruler, we can draw the conclusion that the left pulse of the ruler is male, the right pulse is female, and two sons are born on both sides".

The General Theory of Diseases and Syndrome in Sui Dynasty put forward two methods to distinguish the sex of the fetus by observing the behavior of the parents of the fetus: one is to call the pregnant woman from behind, and if you turn back from the left, you will have a boy, and if you turn back from the right, you will have a girl; The second is to observe the physical changes of the fetus. "The husband has a nucleus on the left and a nucleus on the right." Sun Simiao, a doctor in the Tang Dynasty, suggested that the pulse frequency of pregnant women can also be distinguished between sexes. The one with faster pulse frequency in the left hand is a male fetus, and the one with faster pulse frequency in the right hand is a female fetus.

Doctors in Song Dynasty deepened and expanded the prediction of fetal sex on the basis of predecessors' experience. For example, the Guide to Disease Examination transfers the symptoms put forward by Sui people from the fetus to the mother, and holds that during the development of pregnant women, "those with left breast nuclei are male and those with right breast nuclei are female".

The Guide to Diagnosis also points out that the frequency, nature and pulse condition of pregnant women's three pulse conditions need to be considered comprehensively to judge the sex of the fetus: "the left foot pulse is male and the right foot pulse is female", "the left foot pulse is male and the right foot pulse is female" and "the foot sun pulse is male and the hand Taiyin lung pulse is female". The basic understanding is that the nature of men and women is different, so it will be reflected in the mother's pulse. As a male fetus, a doctor can judge that the pulse phase is positive and the pulse phase is negative. If there is a situation of "seeing yang, seeing yin in yang", we should judge it according to the principle that men have internal yang and women have internal yin and external yang, and according to the most essential pulse.

There were even successful cases of judging the sex of the fetus in Song Dynasty. It is recorded in Medical Treatise that "the scholar's wife was ill, and many doctors thought it was strain", but the famous doctor Hao Yun thought it was pregnancy and diagnosed the fetus as a boy, which was verified as expected. But having boys and girls is a 50-50 chance, and this situation can only be said to be correct.

There is a saying in Huainan Xunzi: "Marry at thirty." Gaoyou has a detailed comment on this: "Those who marry at the age of 30 are born in their children." Judging from the number of children, the man left for 30 years and stood in the third place. Women from the son, the son of heaven for 20 years, also ranked third, husband and wife. Therefore, because it is a ceremony, men get married at the age of 30 and women get married at the age of 20. He has counted himself, left ten and got Yin, so he was born in Yin in October. So the number of men starts from yin. The number of women has been calculated and the correct route has been applied. Born in October of Shen: Therefore, the number of women starts from Shen. "

From this description, we can see that ancient people talked about skills and numbers, men and women who gave birth to children.

The ancients believed that physiognomy meant that the essence was the essence of pregnancy, the yang was male and the yin was female, and the fertility was also reflected in the image and color of the mother. Mr. right ear is thick, and Mr. left ear is thick. Give birth to a girl with a thin waist. Those with tattooed lips have more children, while those with green lips and white teeth have more daughters. In addition, men and women who have children can look at the ribs of the tiger's mouth. The one with blue mouth on the left gives birth to a man, and the one with blue mouth on the right gives birth to a woman. On the right, those with three shades of red give birth to girls, those with palms like water give birth to boys, and those with white and green give birth to girls.

By the Song Dynasty, people had figured out the former men and women of Shu. The process is to specify the time when men and women affect the formation of fetal sex, especially when the sun is shining. It is considered that the first, third and fifth days after menstruation is a good date, and the time should be chosen accurately. It should be after midnight to ask for a male child and before midnight to ask for a female child. Because "from midnight to noon, it is qi, and from noon to midnight, it is death", which is beneficial to give birth to boys when the sun shines after menopause. It is recorded in many medical books in Tang and Song Dynasties. For example, it is described in detail in Liang Fang's second book, The Theory of Pregnancy, and the reason is explained: "After the letter at the beginning of the month, the first, third and fifth days are prosperous days for men and women. If both men and women are strong, they will have many children. When there is cowardice, there are fewer children. "

Based on the understanding of "dividing men and women in March", post-pregnancy intervention is mainly from the early stage of pregnancy to the early stage of the third month, and it mainly exerts its influence through contact with special substances. That is to say, according to the principle that the fetus changes like a pictogram in the early stage of pregnancy, there is no fixed instrument for pregnant women to wear or contact with objects similar to the ideal fetus gender. This kind of record has long existed in the viviparous book of the Han Dynasty, but in the Han Dynasty, both men and women were paid equal attention to, and in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it became a way for boys to "turn women into men". According to the Tang Dynasty's "Preparation for Gold", wearing bowstring, realgar and placing an axe under the bed of the lying-in woman are all helpful for giving birth to a boy. There are more similar descriptions in Yi Xin Fang, such as "three months pregnant, urinating in the rooster's bath", "taking four heather plants under the mat" and "taking five eggplants under the bed", and so on, all of which can give birth to boys. On the basis of the Tang Dynasty, the Song people made new contributions. For example, in Zhang Gao's medical theory, the secret method in the palace is "feeling pregnant before the full moon". Tie japonica with strings, and it will be solved in March. "Another example is" Daquan Recipe ",which says," Take your husband's hand, foot and nail, and lie under the table without telling. "

Generally speaking, Song people think that there are four kinds of substances that can affect sex: one is willow, eggplant, heather and other plants related to men; Second, male animals such as cocks and ducks; Third, knives, axes, bowstrings and other special instruments for men; The fourth is realgar. In the view of Song people, realgar and orpiment correspond to male and female sex respectively. "If you want a man, bring it with realgar and half-clothes; If you want a woman, bring orpiment. "

In addition, in the Song Dynasty, there was a concept of "giving birth to a boy according to a well", that is, a woman wearing her husband's clothes and watching a movie around the well in the morning could give birth to a boy. For example, "Chen Chengzhe gave birth to ten women, and his wife walked around the well three times. I wish women are yin, men are yang, many women and many men are lucky. If he locks the well for three days and doesn't draw, he will have a boy. "

Different from the above-mentioned ways of seeking a child, the ceremony of seeking a child from a well is more similar, but in the doctor's view, well water really helps to give birth to a boy, so in many verbal interventions that interfere with gender, it is said that "well water is needed".

Another intervention after pregnancy is to influence the sex of the fetus by adjusting the diet. For example, in the third month of pregnancy, doctors in the Song Dynasty advised pregnant women to take male chicken soup for food supplement. The early male birth is "Danshen Yuan", which is mainly used for nourishing the liver and blood. It was used in the early stage of pregnant women in the Tang Dynasty to "foster a fetus and turn a woman into a man" and continued to be used in the Song Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty, gender intervention was mainly aimed at children, which shows how strong the desire to have children was at that time.

However, there is not much scientific basis. Through modern science, we know that the sex of the fetus has been decided at the moment when sperm and eggs combine, and the so-called acquired intervention is actually impossible. As for looking at men and women, there is a great probability that it is accurate. To say that 100% is accurate, even advanced B-ultrasound may not be able to do it. Only after the fetus is born can we really know.

Fortunately, we are not bound by such an environment. For most families now, boys and girls are the same, and they are all dads' favorite. Although it is undeniable that the vulgar custom of asking men is still circulating in some areas, at least in the big environment, we have developed such an idea. As for judging men and women in schools, it is better to leave it to prospective parents for entertainment!
