As the saying goes, 'Blessed people have hair on their legs, and unfortunate people have hair on their legs.' Does good luck have anything to do with hair?

Since ancient times, Chinese people have valued their own bodies like any other country. We were taught from childhood that our bodies are damaged, and we are taught by our parents that we do not dare to damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety. In other words, the Chinese cherish any part of the body inherited from their parents, because the body is the flesh that fell from the mother when she was pregnant in October. If they don't value their body, they don't value it. This is disrespectful to parents.

Many body-related proverbs have been derived from this, some of which are related to ancient physiognomy and the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams theory of inferring people's fate based on physical characteristics. There is a proverb: those who are blessed have hair on their legs, and those who are unlucky have hair on their legs. From the surface meaning of this sentence, the blessing may be related to the growth of hair on the legs. So is it really so? Let's take a look today.

01 The time-honored physiognomy.

To understand the core content expressed by this sentence, we must have a certain basic understanding of the art of confrontation. Because this sentence seems to have nothing to do with people's facial features, but the art of face-to-face in our traditional culture is not just the analysis and description of facial features, but the combination of other parts of the body. Of course, the human body's limbs and hair are part of the human body.

Physiognomy exists not only in ancient China, but also in other continental civilizations. The origins in China of this way of relying on the prediction of human facial features may have been perfected shortly after primitive tribes.

From the perspective of physiognomy, it is believed that a person's facial features are inseparable from the fate of life. Everyone's face is like a leaf in the world. No one is exactly the same, and the facial features on each person's face have their own characteristics.

Experienced masters can start with each person's facial features, such as nose and mouth, eye position and proportions, like cracking a code, to decipher a person's destiny features. The emergence of this method is inseparable from the inheritance of ancient Chinese traditional culture.

Because in ancient times, people firmly believed that life was determined by nature, so God's arrangement always had obvious or hidden features in the human body, and these hidden features needed to be excavated by methods similar to face-to-face. These traditions have been recorded since ancient times. As can be seen from the ancient classics, people's understanding of famous historical figures of ancient times begins with their appearance.

For example, the emperor has the image of a dragon. The eyebrows and eyes of the two emperors Yao and Shun were different from those of ordinary people. There are three big holes in Dayu's ears, Zhou Wuwang's eyes have the function of clairvoyance and so on. It is believed that these people are born with different facial and physical features, which is a manifestation of God's mission to calm the world, so these people are often called the children of destiny.

02 The origin of the phase from the heart.

If you put physiognomy in daily life, it is actually what people say that physiognomy is born from the heart, but this sentence is also one of the sources of physiognomy. Xiangyuxinsheng is originally a Buddhist language, and the xiangzi in it actually refers to a person's face, but not only a person's facial features, but also all of a person's features, including facial and spiritual features, are sustainable.

There is also a little story about the origin of this claim. It is said that there was a man in the Tang Dynasty who was poor and poor when he was young. One day, while he was wandering on the road, he met a master. The master is a monk. After reading this person's face, he found that the lines at the corners of his mouth were different from ordinary people, and some lines extended from the face to the mouth.

According to his face, the master found that the person might starve to death in the future, so the master advised the person to study hard and improve his self-cultivation. One day, he can do something to avoid disaster. This man also listened to the Master's warning. After a long time, he met the monk again. As a result, the monk observed the man's face, which was completely different from when he first met.

Now this person not only has eyes like torches, but also the whole person's face is different from the previous yellow and thin face, which looks bright. The poor man in the story is the famous Prime Minister Pei Du, which also tells us that the face is not temporary, but can be changed, long-term and sustainable, the story also completely overturns fate, to a certain extent, people can dominate themselves fate.

03 Myths and misinformation about hairy legs.

After we have a certain understanding of the physiognomy, let's take a look. The blessed man mentioned in today's title has two legs, and the blessed man has two hairy legs. From this sentence, we can see that the ancients believed that the long hair on a man's legs had a lot to do with his own destiny.

But just from the two sentences before and after, it seems to be contradictory. Because whether it is a blessed person or an unfortunate person, do they have long hair on their legs? What is the meaning of this sentence?

In fact, these two sentences should be read separately. We all know that China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and so were the feudal dynasties. At that time, people's concept of hierarchy was very serious. As lower-class workers, farmers need to constantly work in the fields, and the food they produce is actually for the upper class.

Therefore, as aristocrats of the upper class, they do not need to do any manual labor. Besides enjoying every day, they sing every night. They usually don't need wind and sun, and they don't suffer from heavy physical labor. Therefore, their physical fitness and maintenance are better than ordinary people.

As a result, their body hair will retire from years of work. The hair on the legs is exuberant. Because of this, they are the happy people in people's mouths.

Then let's look at the second half of the sentence. As working people of the lower class, don't they have hair on their legs? In fact, this is not the case. The second half of the sentence is a misunderstanding caused by misrepresentation. This sentence should have been a person without blessings, but became hairy legs in the process of spreading.

pronunciation of these two words. Word of mouth is confused. In this way, it is easy to understand. As the working masses, they need to work in the fields every day. There is no rest in spring, summer, autumn and winter. They have to run around all day.

04 Conclusion

In fact, being blessed or not is not directly related to having long hair on your legs. In ancient times, the nobility did not become happy because of long hair on their legs. They were born aristocratic, so the hair on their legs was strong.
