Shen time is also called "Bu (bū) time", where "Bu" and "Bu" are interchangeable. It is also known as "day meal" or "evening meal", usually referring to the period between 3 PM and 5 PM. In ancient times, people usually had their second meal during Bu time, so "Bu time" literally means "the time for the second meal".
"The saying 'Shen time should not have a bed, Gui spirits enter the room' means that on the day of Shen, you should not set up a bed, because if you do, evil spirits will enter the house. Gui refers to negative substances, which are buried in Chou. Shen is naturally a time when energy is obtained, and it is the time when they appear and disappear. At this time, the yin energy has already reached three stages and has the ability to move, starting to act. Therefore, it is best not to set up a bed at this time, because the bed is a place for sleeping, and once you fall asleep, you are easily affected by negative substances."
Shen time is the ninth of the twelve traditional Chinese time periods, from 3 PM to 5 PM. Shen time is also known as "day meal" or "evening meal". Since monkeys like to cry at this time, this period is called Shen time, and Shen corresponds to the zodiac sign of the monkey.
Shen time is when the body's metabolic rate is highest, the respiratory activity of the lungs is most active, and the body's physical abilities reach their peak.
