As the saying goes, "Tiger steps to be a great official" conveys the posture of a person when walking, and if he is as powerful as a tiger and can march steadily, then this person is expected to become a great official. This term originated in ancient times and described the heroic posture of an emperor or general.
In the ancient book "History of the Song Dynasty Taizu Ji", it is recorded that Emperor Taizong walked like a dragon walking with an extraordinary spirit. In "Song Shu Wudi Ji", it is also mentioned that Liu Yulong walks with a tiger step and an extraordinary bearing. Such a gait shows steadfastness and majesty, which indicates that such a person is likely to succeed in a leadership position.
"Duck step local rich man" conveys that people who walk like ducks are usually local tyrants on the rich side. The duck step usually refers to the body swaying from side to side, with a dense pace and a bit of bloated feeling, similar to the way a duck walks. In physiognomy, it is believed that such people may have some small wealth, but due to their flamboyant personality and complacent, it is difficult to achieve great wealth and wealth. This type of person likes to show off his wealth and has a more flamboyant personality.
According to physiognomy observations, a person's posture when walking can also reflect their mental state and cultivation. Self-confident people tend to hold their heads high, while people with low self-esteem tend to walk with their heads down and dare not look directly at others. Therefore, "the tiger step is a big official, and the duck step is the rich man" is actually a summary of the ancients' observations of different people, judging a person's character and possible fate by the posture of walking.
