Whatever heights modern medicine and science as a whole have achieved, no matter how technical progress strives forward, the birth of a baby was, is and continues to be a mystery. Any woman during pregnancy has many questions in her head about what he will be like - her unborn child. Will he look more like mom or dad? What habits will inherit? What awaits him ahead? Very often, many of these issues are completely and completely related to who is born: a boy or a girl. And not the last role is played by a variety of forecasts, signs and beliefs.
The eastern culture of Ancient China and Japan took the gender of the child very seriously. Many years ago, each of these countries had its own tables for determining the sex of the child.
And in modern China, the question of what gender the baby will be is very important. In terms of numbers, this country has already crossed the billionth mark for several years. And if most countries in Europe are trying hard to raise the birth rate, then not every family can give birth to a baby here. “Only one child in the family” is the main slogan of the Chinese government. At the same time, rural residents dream of having a son in the family, although the authorities insist on increasing the female population with all possible forces. Here, every simple Chinese family comes to the aid of the ancient table for determining the sex of the child. As a result of following her, more boys appear anyway.
For the birth of a baby in China, you must obtain a special permit, which is valid for only one year. In most cases, it is impossible to extend this permit; it is not issued to every family. The age of a woman and a man is strictly stipulated. But despite all the obstacles of the government, the male population of the country is growing faster than the female. And here again, the Chinese gender determination table plays a role.
Anyone can figure out this table. To get the desired result, you need to know the age of the woman and the month when the conception is planned. Comparing both of these dates, you get the answer to the question of who will be born: a boy or a girl. For example, if a woman is 24 years old, then according to the table, at conception in January, March, April, June and July, a boy should be born.
There is still no clear data on how this sex table of the unborn child appeared in China. They say that she is more than 700 years old, and she survived due to the fact that she lay in the catacombs. This is not the most important thing. Here the fact that this Chinese method is used by all people around the globe is of great importance.
Fairy-tale and unlike other countries, Japan also could not get around the issue of determining the sex of the child. Here other tables were invented, based on the data of each of the parents. To determine the months favorable for the conception of a boy or girl, it is necessary to know the months of birth of the man and woman. After that, fill in the data, and the table for determining the sex of the child will determine the degree of probability of the appearance of a boy or girl. For example, if a woman was born in March and a man in February, then the top of the table at the intersection gives the number 11. Now we look at the bottom of the table and look for the intersection of the number with the month of conception, in our case, conception occurred in April, and, according to the data, the couple will have a baby girl.
In contrast to the strict laws of China, in Japan it is customary to have 2-3 children per family. A woman who has children is highly respected and respected. Children in this country are loved and up to 5 years old they are allowed to do everything. The child here is always welcome and long-awaited.
At the same time, every Japanese family dreams of a son. Without an heir, a successor to the clan, the family is considered incomplete. To give birth and raise the successors of the clan is the main task of the woman. If the Japanese have a son, then this gives a certain status, helps to move up the career ladder. Therefore, it is not surprising that the table for determining the sex of a child, invented back in the days of samurai, is rarely mistaken.
Opinions about the reliability of each of the tables, Japanese and Chinese, differ, but the fact that these results deserve attention is undoubted. It is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular method only in practice.
