Ancient Chinese wisdom has been passed down to the present day, and it covers many sayings and proverbs related to life. The lessons learned from these ancestors, agricultural proverbs such as "Ruixue Trillion Harvest Year", and some taboos related to marriage are still present by word of mouth. The "three women do not marry, sheep and tiger and four white" mentioned in it involves the taboo of the sheep girl, the tigress and the four white-eyed women. Are these taboos relevant?
These proverbs and taboos that circulated in ancient times, especially when it comes to physiognomy and physiognomy, seem to be extremely absurd. However, for the people of the time, these taboos had a deep socio-cultural background. First of all, the taboo for sheep women is related to the unlucky impression of sheep in ancient times. The sheep is considered a symbol of excessive yin energy, which can bring depression and ominous energy to the family, and may even lead to the illness and early death of the husband.
The story of Yang Yuhuan and the Empress Dowager Cixi, represented by the sheep girl, seems to verify the rationality of these taboos. Yang Yuhuan's beauty made Tang Xuanzong fall for it, but he also ignored national affairs. And the Empress Dowager Cixi, as the person who actually controlled the late Qing regime, her extravagant life and strong control devastated the whole country.
The tigress and the four-white-eyed female represent character taboos. The tigress symbolizes the strong and difficult women in the family, who often appear to be filial on the outside but show a strong and difficult side in marriage. The Four-White-Eyed Woman is seen as a danger because of her innocent appearance but the elusive heart she hides.
However, in modern society, these taboo ideas have gradually been diluted by reason and science. When choosing a partner, people pay more attention to factors such as the compatibility of the personalities of both parties and whether their thoughts are compatible, rather than simply based on physiognomy and genus. However, the existence of these taboo ideas is still part of the cultural heritage, and it is worth reflecting on the collision and blending of traditional and modern values.
Ancient proverbs and sayings have their historical and cultural backgrounds, but as the times change, so do people's perceptions. We may not be able to completely dismiss these taboos, but we can draw reflections and inspirations from them: what is the meaning of traditional wisdom in contemporary society?How to integrate modern ideas while respecting traditions, and look at marriage and interpersonal relationships with a more comprehensive and inclusive attitude may be a topic we need to think about.
