As the saying goes: 'If you marry a wife, don't marry a woman with a face up, you don't marry a man with a low head.' Is the ancients' way of identifying people accurate?
As a part of Chinese history and culture, this proverb has a long history in the long river of Chinese history and has been handed down for nearly a thousand years. Under the background of backward science and technology in ancient times, these proverbs are the guide of their lives, and they are also an important part of their lives, and they are the products of the accumulation of ancient people's lives. It has been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.
In the ancient Chinese countryside, there have always been legends and legends of the Four Poisons. These four poisons are not centipedes and scorpions. The four poisons here refer to four types: the woman with the back, the man with the bow, the queen onion, and the single-headed garlic. Among them, the queen onion refers to the small onion formed after the flowering of the large onion grown in the countryside. This type of onion has a lot of fibrous tissue and is especially laborious to eat. It is not as fresh and tender as the shallots. Also, it has a particularly pungent taste that makes it difficult to swallow. If you are a person who normally eats a bland diet, once you eat this scallion, you will get your stomach hurt by its spicy taste. Also, queen onions have poor taste and taste and have no nutritional value, so people don't like them. In the countryside they are usually thrown away like my shoes.
In our daily life, garlic is an essential condiment that can be used in almost every household. Due to the growing environment, soil and other factors, some garlic will grow into a special independent existence. In ancient times, there was very little garlic, and the ancients had limited cognition, so when they saw this garlic, they thought there was another way of saying it was a poisonous food. But in modern society, single head garlic is indeed a very popular condiment.
The face-up woman and the head-down man, as the name suggests, refer to a woman who often looks up and a man who often bows her head. The content of folk sayings is very wide, covering agriculture, life, marriage and other aspects. There is a saying that reflects marriage and marriage, which is called: "If you marry a wife, you don't marry a woman with a face, and you don't marry a man with a bowed head." At first glance, I thought it was a strange person, but in fact, the ancients had another explanation for this.
In the ancient feudal society, the ancient people's thinking has always been that men are superior to women, so the status of women has always been very low. They educate their husbands and children, follow traditional women's obedience and four virtues, and keep their eyebrows low. Usually, they stay at home, don't go out, don't go through two doors, and never appear in public. Upside-down women refer to those bold, fierce, rude women who are still arrogant and arrogant in front of their husbands. Such a woman in ancient times was a manifestation of disobedience to female morality, which would upset the house. Usually, ancient men would not marry such women, so they were regarded as one of the four poisons by the ancients. Conversely, if a man walks with his head down often, he will be considered a timid, cowardly, lack of independent thought and manliness. No woman can trust such a man for the rest of his life.
The number of ancients is mainly the accumulation of their life experience, but also has a certain accuracy. In modern society, women who raise their heads and men who bow their heads are actually manifestations of personality. The personality of women who look up reflects their self-confidence, independence, generosity, intelligence and competence. They are the representatives of strong women in modern society. It can also be said to be a noble and proud woman who is not easy to approach. Compared with the shy women of ancient times, it did not fit the aesthetics of the time, but in modern society, such women are very popular. From another angle, the bowhead character can give people an obscene shrewd, city government very deep feeling because they're not sure what they're calculating, or calculating others. The ancients believed that such a person's character was cold and melancholy, that the inner dark work was calculating, and if he offended him, he would surely be revenge.
The wisdom of the ancients to judge people by their appearance is the embodiment of wisdom, and the embodiment of the wisdom of the ancients. However, it does not fully apply in modern society. In order to reflect the spiritual outlook of the development of modern society, we still need to take its essence and get rid of its dross.
