As the old saying goes, Men are afraid of August, women are afraid of the wax moon , why?

This is from the ancient division of labor, the male protagonist outside the female inside, August is the autumn harvest time of the year, in the countryside is also the busiest time, the south to harvest rice, the north to harvest corn, these jobs are basically hard work, all need men to do, often in order to harvest day and night work, in addition to preparing for winter planting, so in the past there was a "man afraid of August" this saying. When it comes to the wax moon, because not only must you prepare the New Year's goods or food, but also prepare winter and New Year's clothes for the elderly and children at home, in addition to cleaning, the front and back of the house must be clean, and this is basically a woman's business, so there is a saying that women are afraid of the wax moon.

August is the harvest season, the busy season for farming! And the weather is very hot in August, and the most feared thing is that men will get sick during this time! The lunar month is about to start the New Year, and housewives are the busiest in the year relative to this time!

Men are afraid of August because every year in August is the time of the autumn harvest, men are the only pillar of the family, and women are afraid of the wax moon because the new year is approaching in the wax moon, and they have to put up a sumptuous meal every day to entertain the guests.

Mainly because of the ancient reasons of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, August is hot and is the time of busy farming, and the farm work is mainly done by men, so men are afraid of August, and the lunar month is approaching the New Year, and there is a lot of housework to do at home, and women are mainly responsible for housework, so women are afraid of the lunar month.

Because men are very busy in August, and because of their physical fitness, they can easily get sick, and if they get sick, they will miss the best time to harvest their crops. And women are also very busy during the wax moon, and things big and small in the family will fall on women.

Men are afraid of August refers to the hardships of agriculture in the busy agricultural season, and women are afraid of the wax moon refers to the women's living arrangements for family members and the etiquette of guests before the arrival of the annual New Year, which requires women's wisdom and life experience.

In the past, men had to harvest grain in the fields under the scorching sun in August, and women not only had to clean the house, but also beckoned the guests to cook, which was very busy.

This is determined by the production and lifestyle of the Chinese. August is the time of harvest of crops, and at this time, the burden of farming falls on the men, so the men are very hard. After the wax moon is the New Year, women have to take care of the housework and prepare a lot of things for the New Year.

In August, when the weather is hotter, the temper of the man born is a little hotter, and the girl born in the cold weather of the month of Layue is more inferior.

Men are afraid of August, which means that the crops are harvested in August, and this season is also the time when men are most tired and afraid. Women are afraid of wax means that they are afraid of the wax moon, and most of them are entertaining guests and drinking and eating with them. And the woman is in charge of making the dishes.

In the countryside, August is the busy farming season, and men are the main dependents on farm work, and the weather is very hot, so men will have a very hard time during this month. The lunar month is approaching the Spring Festival, and women are busy cooking various dishes at home, and they also have to prepare clothes for the elderly and children, which is also very hard.

August is generally the harvest season for crops, and the man, as the breadwinner of the family, will definitely do more. As for the lunar month, it is because it is close to the New Year, and it is necessary to prepare new clothes for the old and young in the family, relatives and friends have to visit the door, and as a woman, they generally have to cook a lot of food at home to entertain guests.

The old saying in the countryside: "Men are afraid of August, women are afraid of the wax moon", what does it mean? Does that make sense?

Men are afraid of August, women are afraid of the wax moon" This is a proverb handed down by the ancestors, many of the proverbs we hear now are summarized by the ancients in long-term life and social practice, and can be said to be the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, so most of them are reasonable. However, due to the passage of time due to different eras, some proverbs may not still be very applicable today. But the proverb "men are afraid of August, women are afraid of the wax moon" still applies in some parts of China.

The "August" here is not an accurate August, it should be understood as a general time, it refers to the summer and autumn when the agricultural work is more concentrated. Every year around August, it is a period of the year when farm work is more concentrated, such as rice, peanuts, cotton and other crops are mostly harvested during this time. In the traditional concept of our country, there is a saying that the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the female, although this phenomenon is not strictly implemented in reality, but for manual work such as farm work, men still exert more strength.

No matter how hard-working people are, there are times when they are afraid of being dirty and tired, especially in the busy season of farming, doing heavy work for a long time, men will also be afraid, working in the farmland under the scorching sun every day, going out very early in the morning, and coming back full of mud at night, this kind of life is afraid of everyone. However, the situation is much better now than in the past, where there were a lot of fields in rural areas, and many rural people chose to work for a living, but now the countryside is also urbanizing, and a lot of farmland has been developed into industrial zones, and more and more farmers choose to go out to work, and they no longer have to do farm work.

The wax moon here is also a general time, which can be understood as the end of the lunar calendar and the Spring Festival. The end of the year and the Spring Festival are the more festive and lively periods of the year, many people who go out to work for a busy year, return home with full purse, and students also have winter vacation, waiting to get the New Year's money, but this period is still more challenging for women. We all know that at the end of the year, every family in Shizhou has to prepare a lot of things, such as buying New Year's goods, worshiping the gods, etc., and many families will fry some food at the end of the year, which requires time and energy to do, and in most cases, women are doing these things.

In addition to the busyness of the previous year, women are also relatively busy during the Spring Festival. Visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival is a tradition in our country, many people will choose to visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, once the family has a guest, the main person will have to receive it, otherwise it will be said that the etiquette is not good. Entertaining guests inevitably requires the preparation of food and drink, a task that is mostly done by women.

Therefore, around the wax moon every year is the busiest period for women, and women are afraid to work every day.

The above is my understanding of the proverb "men are afraid of August, women are afraid of the wax moon", I think this proverb still reflects the reality more objectively. Although there are fewer and fewer men doing farm work these days, this proverb has been objective and valid for a long time in the past.

1. "Men are afraid of August". In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, that is, the period before and after the autumn harvest, the farmland at this time ushered in a bumper harvest, soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, rice, etc., which will mature one after another, so farmers will come to the farmland in time to harvest these harvest crops home. During this period, rural people often have to work until midnight, and in order to be able to compete with God, they can only work overtime to harvest.

After the crops are harvested, they also need to be dried in time. After the harvest is completed, it is also necessary to loosen the soil in time, manage the farmland and sow a new round of crops, which shows how busy the farmers are during the autumn harvest. In the past, it has always relied on smallholder farming, and the whole process of production needs to rely on manpower.

Women could not do these jobs, and the burden of farming fell on men. Although they are very happy about the abundant crops, they are naturally afraid of taking on so much physical work. But the most feared thing is that men get sick during this time, and the weather in August is very hot, and men have poor heat tolerance, so it is easy to get sick.

Once there is a disease, the best time to farm may be missed.

2, "Women are afraid of the wax moon". In ancient times, women's work was to take care of everything in the family and take care of the family's daily life, such as cooking, washing clothes, weaving, etc. Although the daily life is not too hard, it is not so simple, and it is not a lot of work compared to men.

However, what women are most afraid of is the wax moon, you must know that in this season is approaching the Spring Festival, women need to weave new clothes in time, so that the family can dress more decently. At this time, women also need to prepare New Year's dinner, dumplings for dumplings, steamed buns for steamed buns, bacon and various pickles, so that the family can eat better during the Spring Festival. Men don't do these domestic jobs, they have to leave them to women, and they are under a lot of pressure.

In the month of La, the weather is also quite cold, women are most afraid of cold, once the warmth measures are not in place, they may get sick, and it is difficult to work on Chinese New Year's Eve if there is a disease.

Why is it said that men are afraid of August and women are afraid of the wax moon?

First of all, let's take a look at the first half of the saying "men are afraid of August", why is there such a saying? In fact, it is mainly related to the cultivation of farmers. Because autumn is coming in August, it is the harvest season for farmers.

So at this time, the farmers will be very busy. As the pillar of the family, men are often the main labor force in the family. Therefore, they naturally have no time to spare this month.

In addition to farming, there is another reason and that is the climate issue. As we all know, the summer heat in August has not yet dissipated, and it will be attacked by "autumn tigers". So in this climate, the farmers will work harder, so they can say that they love and hate August.

Autumn harvest women are afraid of the wax moon, let's take a look at the second half of the sentence "women are afraid of the wax moon", this saying is actually more popular in some rural areas in ancient times and now. Everyone knows that in ancient times, there was a habit of "male protagonist outside, female protagonist inside". Therefore, almost all the small and large chores in the family are taken care of by women.

And entering the wax moon means that it will not be long before the Lunar New Year will be ushered in. At this time, women are busy and begin to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and in ancient times and some rural areas where technology is not developed, there is often a large family of people to eat together during the New Year. And because there are no high-tech kitchen utensils today, it is often more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In addition, everyone in the family has different tastes, and some people will have taboos. So it can be said that it is very troublesome to prepare. In addition to these physical exertions, there is also because women's minds will be more detailed, they often start to think about how to prepare for the New Year close to the moon.

So to sum up, this is why women are afraid of the wax moon.
