As the saying goes: 'The two cheeks can't be kissed without the flesh, and the face is a murderer.' Does appearance have anything to do with personality? Is the old saying reliable?
During the long historical period, Chinese ancestors created a unique and long-standing traditional Chinese culture by relying on their own wisdom and labor. So far, traditional culture still has inexhaustible vitality. The five techniques are an important part of traditional Chinese culture, mainly including mountains, medicine, life, cloth, and stages.
The stages in the five arts refer to the ancient phasics. In ancient China, a discipline that judged a person's character and health by observing a person's facial features, thereby inferring a person's fate. In the Book of Rites, there is a record about the face: if you are proud of your face, if you are worried about it, if you dump it, you will be raped. This shows that physiognomy appeared as early as the pre-Qin period, and there are many theories about whether a person's face is good or bad.
In ancient China, there was a saying: those who have no flesh on their cheeks, and those who show flesh on their faces are murderers . What is the truth of this statement? According to the ancients, is a person's appearance really related to his character and character? Is the old saying reliable? First of all, we should know what is the historical origin of facial science and how the ancients viewed the human face.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period in China, face-seeing became popular among the upper classes. At that time, some upper-class nobles even used their faces to judge the qualifications of their heirs. If a nobleman's child has a good face, he is likely to be the first heir.
With the gradual development of physiognomy, many professional physiognomists have emerged. Physiognomy also gradually formed a unified theoretical system, which was popularized from the upper class to the people. The main terms of ancient physiognomy include five senses, three stops, twelve palaces, etc., the most important of which are the five senses.
The so-called facial features are eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears. In ancient facial theory, eyebrows were associated with a person's health and status, while eyes determined a person's willpower. The nose can reflect people's wealth and health, while the mouth is related to food and happiness. Through the ears, we can see whether a person will live a long life.
If a person's eyebrows are tall and beautiful, with clear lines and bright colors, it means that this person can enjoy high rank and social status. People with red lips can have enough clothes and food to enjoy endless glory and wealth. Although facial features are very important in facial science, in general, the ancients focused on the big picture, depending on whether the parts matched and coordinated.
Over a long period of history, ancient facialists have summarized various faces, including wealth and villains, based on practical experience. No flesh on the cheeks and exposed flesh on the face are villains. The so-called no flesh on the cheeks means that the cheeks are sunken and there is no flesh on the face. In the eyes of the ancients, such people are often spineless. They can share weal and woe with wealth.
Therefore, there is a saying that it is unfeasible to have no meat on the cheeks. In some of today's movies and TV series, many betrayal of friends and country traitors are such an image.
The fleshy face is the opposite of having no flesh on the cheeks, and there is fat on the face. In the eyes of the ancients, people with such a face were born fierce and ruthless. They are murderers. Therefore, in ancient times, people did not provoke such people easily because they were likely to cause disaster. This is why the ancestors said that it is not acceptable to have no flesh on the cheeks, and that the flesh on the face is a murderer.
However, does a person's appearance really have anything to do with his character? Are these old sayings reliable? In fact, a person's face can indeed indirectly reflect some relevant information, such as health and mental status, to a certain extent, and thus further calculate other information. It contains thousands of years of experience summarized by the ancients in the process of practice, and has a certain universality.
However, the ancients also have a saying: people can not look. It goes without saying that there is no scientific basis for a person's character, character or even fate. Therefore, the old saying is not necessarily true and reliable. We should learn to deal with it rationally.
