As the saying goes, 'Good and evil look at the mouth, and rich and poor look at the hands and feet.' The ancients said that the art of knowing people is accurate?
There is an old saying in China called "phases are born from the heart", which means that a person's appearance depends on his heart. Although this sentence is a bit biased, when we meet a stranger, our judgments of his character are often based on his appearance. The ancients expressed these ways of knowing people through popular sentences, forming today's proverbs.
There are many sayings about knowing people, one of which is called "good and evil look at the mouth, and the poor look at the hands and feet.". This proverb is simple on the surface, but does it have some truth to it? The eyes are the windows of the soul. If you want to make a preliminary judgment on the person's character, you can infer a thing or two from the other person's eyes.
When depicting a main character, many literary works tend to highlight his character by depicting his appearance. Take the famous Wang Xifeng in "A Dream of Red Mansions" as an example. When the author describes her appearance, he is concerned that she has a pair of phoenix triangular eyes. Danfeng's eyes are often used to describe straight people. Wang Xifeng is such a character in the book.
In film and television productions, appearance will also be used to reflect a person's character traits. If he's a vicious villain, the staff will usually play someone who looks obnoxious. If it's a righteous character, it's naturally played by someone with bushy eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight face. Works like this make people realize each other's nature at first sight.
In addition to the eyes, the mouth is also an important outer appearance of a person's inner good and evil. Of course, this does not refer to the shape of the mouth, but to emphasize the impact of a person's conversation on a person's image. From what a person says and how they speak, we can infer whether the other person is easy to get along with, extroversion and other personality traits. A person with good inner culture tends to be humble and friendly when speaking and knows how to contain his emotions.
As for the second half of the sentence "rich or not depends on hands and feet", this is also easy to understand. We know that people who watch a movie on the street can often learn about their home after their initial contact with a customer. This is not because they can calculate each other's fate, but because of their excellent observation skills and rich life experience.
To judge a person's family status, hands and feet are an important reference item. In the feudal society of ancient China, agriculture was the main one, and people living in poverty were often those who were engaged in agricultural production on the front line. Due to the high labor intensity, the palms of the poor grow calluses, and the rich do not need to engage in production, and the palms are naturally well maintained.
So are the feet. The feet of people who often work in the fields are often soiled with mud, and their color changes dramatically over time. Wealthy families usually don't go to these places at all. Their feet also wear delicate, soft, comfortable shoes, and their soles naturally appear white and delicate. What's more, when you go out, you sit on the sedan chair and your feet don't touch the ground. Of course, you are very different from poor people.
Face is not the feudal superstition that most people mistakenly believe, and many of the contents have certain scientific reasons. In fact, the ancients could also see the physical condition of the person from their face. When the other person suffers from a chronic disease, their faces often become dull and haggard, and their eyes lack expression. This is a phenomenon of weakened positivity. People with this performance need to avoid excessive gymnastics and pay attention to their rest.
If a person's white parts are noticeably yellow, the person may have some degree of damage to the liver, which is reflected in his eyes. People with insufficient blood gas are always pale, and people with allergies causing diseases tend to appear in various parts of the body. For example, the black and white part of the eye is not clear.
In the TCM system, the ear is closely related to the kidney. If a person's ears are often red and purple, it means that his kidneys are not circulating very well. When the arteries and blood vessels of the body harden, the blood in the upper ear of the body will decrease, and the earlobe will appear markedly wrinkled.
The nose in facial features also plays an important role in facial science. The tip of the nose believes in the human spleen, and the wing of the nose is related to the human stomach. If the skin on the sides of the nose becomes rough or red, it can indicate a gastrointestinal problem or even constipation. In addition, some of our own life experiences have also taught us some rules. For example, people who suddenly develop acne around their lips may be due to their recent eating irregularities, especially eating a lot of spicy food.
To sum up: "Good and evil see the eyes, and the poor see the hands and feet." A short proverb contains profound truth. In the ancient society with low productivity, working people relied on their own wisdom to sum up some effective laws, so it can be said that there are nine out of ten people.
