Men are afraid to wear boots at night and women are afraid to wear hats at noon. What do you mean by wearing boots and hats? Why are you afraid?

There are many popular sayings, some of which are obscure, and it is not easy for people to understand if they are analyzed from the literal meaning alone.

For example, many friends have heard the saying that "men are afraid to wear boots at night and women are afraid to wear hats at noon", but they can't tell what it means.

In this article, the author will talk about this proverb in detail and see what it means. Does it make sense? Everyone will have an answer after reading it.

We often hear the word "midnight", which actually refers to midnight, that is, from 1 1 in the evening to 1 in the morning, and noon is naturally the most poisonous time of the day.

Literally, this proverb means that men are afraid to wear boots at night and women are afraid to wear hats at noon.

But why is this? In fact, this sentence also has a subtle meaning, and there are two main explanations among the people.

The first explanation is that someone in the family died.

Men wear boots in the middle of the night and women wear hats at noon, all of which are unlucky symbols. According to folklore, there are only two situations in which a man wears boots in the middle of the night. The first is to go to the toilet in a hurry. The second is that an old man in the village will set off firecrackers in the middle of the night. If the man in the family hears firecrackers, he will wear boots to check.

Women generally don't wear hats, and even if they do, they won't wear them at noon in the hottest weather.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. If you see a woman wearing a white hat at noon, it means that an old man has died in her family, and she is wearing a filial hat.

Generally, at noon on the day when the old man is buried, the wives at home will wear white mourning hats to mourn the death of the old man, which is also a kind of etiquette.

Furthermore, China has always been divided into yin and yang, with men representing masculinity and women representing femininity.

As we all know, the second half of the night is the time when Yin qi is at its peak. Men had better not go in and out at will at this time. Men wearing boots is a symbol of action, which is bad morality.

The word "fear" in men's fear of wearing boots in the middle of the night is not only the meaning of fear, but also a warning to tell the parties that this behavior is dangerous.

At noon, when the sun is the most poisonous and the sunshine is the most abundant, women are the weakest at this time. It is even more dangerous to travel in a stuffy hat.

The second explanation means terminal illness.

Although the ancients did not have today's medical knowledge, they summed up some critical diseases through experience, and edema was one of them.

Some people will have edema before they get terminally ill, which may be facial edema, lower limb edema and foot edema.

As the saying goes, "Men are afraid to wear boots in the middle of the night, while women are afraid to wear hats at noon". After careful analysis, it is not difficult to find that boots cover the lower limbs and feet, and hats cover the face.

According to the personality characteristics of the ancients, if their bodies were abnormal, their first reaction was not to see a doctor, but to shield the abnormality and make themselves look like ordinary people. This taboo thinking is engraved in some people's minds.

Then, why does it mean that you are terminally ill when you are swollen and fat? Let's start with facial edema If the facial edema is serious, especially in the eyelid area, it is likely to be a manifestation of kidney diseases, such as acute renal failure, which is very harmful to health. Many people didn't know this kind of thing before. When facial edema appears, it is not the first time to see a doctor, but to cover your face with a hat and drag it into a serious illness.

In addition to facial edema, the most common is edema of lower limbs and feet.

For example, this may happen when a person suffers from heart failure. If the disease is now, everyone's first reaction is to go to the hospital for examination. In the past, many people would mainly use covers, as if wearing boots was to block swollen feet and they would not get sick.

It is precisely because people don't go to see a doctor after their bodies are abnormal that they end up short-lived.

Over time, it will form the view that as long as edema appears, it will be a terminal disease, and leg swelling and face swelling will become the final performance.

Cover it up by wearing boots and hats so that others can't see it.

Therefore, there is a saying that men are afraid to wear boots at night and women are afraid to wear hats at noon.

Finally, everyone can understand the first situation. After all, after the death of the old man, the younger generation should do their due etiquette duties.

But the second situation is really regrettable, because of fear, and missed the opportunity.

Men are afraid to wear boots in the middle of the night, and women are afraid to wear hats at noon. The word "fear" in this proverb can be understood as self-fear, and it can also be understood as the ancient people's warning to the younger generation that they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible if they feel unwell.
