In ancient China, a long-standing and profoundly influential discipline was highly regarded, and that was physiognomy. The ancients believed that "each other is born from the heart", and that physical characteristics can reveal a person's inner heart and future destiny. Physiognomy originated in the upper class, and the foundation was laid by the physiognomy master Shufu and others in the Spring and Autumn Period. With the advent of the Warring States period, physiognomy spread widely in society, and the development of physiognomy was promoted by various dynasties and generations. Feudal physiognomy flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties and became a means for some people to accumulate wealth.
When it comes to physiognomy, modern people are generally skeptical, believing that it is the dregs of traditional culture. However, physiognomy had a profound impact during the feudal period. Some rural areas still have the ancient science of physiognomy passed down to this day. The ancients said: "Men look at their noses and women look at their mouths, and they are rich and noble in their lives." Does this ancient experience of seeing people still have some truth?
Ask the rich in the nose", in ancient physiognomy, the male nose was regarded as the "judge" and "wealth palace". Wealthy people often have a plump and straight nose bridge, giving people a three-dimensional and masculine feeling, and are considered to be either rich or expensive. Conversely, the cone-shaped tip of the nose may suggest a mean-spirited personality, while a man with a hooked nose may be seen as a deeper, calculating person.
For women, ancient physiognomy focused mainly on the "mouth". In feudal society, a woman's small mouth was considered a symbol of beauty. There is a proverb that says, "Men eat with a wide mouth, and women eat poor men with a wide mouth", emphasizing that men have a big mouth, while women with a small mouth are considered frugal and popular. Reddish lips are seen as a sign of prosperity, while dark lips can invite trouble.
Although face reading has a certain foundation in both ancient and modern Chinese society, its theory lacks scientific basis and mainly relies on the experience of predecessors. Therefore, the traditional physiognomy theory should be viewed rationally, and the key to truly mastering destiny lies in the individual's independent choice. What do you think about this?
Unraveling the mysteries of ancient physiognomy: nose and fate, mouth and glory, the mysteries of ancient physiognomy.
Ancient physiognomy has always been a controversial topic. The article details the historical origins and influence of ancient Chinese physiognomy, as well as the interpretation of the different facial features of men and women. Although most people today are skeptical of physiognomy as lacking scientific basis, we still cannot ignore the great impact of physiognomy on people's lives during the long feudal period.
First of all, the origin and popularity of physiognomy are closely related to social class. In the Spring and Autumn period of the seventh century BC, physiognomy masters such as Shufu and others emerged in the upper class. This suggests that physiognomy was initially more present among the ruling class, or among those who sought power and wealth. With the passage of time, physiognomy gradually became popular and became a widely circulated science in society.
However, the article also mentions the flaw of physiognomy, that is, the lack of scientific basis for its theoretical basis. In the era of modern science and technology, we place more emphasis on rational and scientific concepts. We should take a more cautious and rational approach to the lessons learned on which physiognomy depends. After all, it is difficult for an individual's physiognomy to completely determine a person's character and fate, let alone speculation on the rich, noble and lowly that physiognomy proclaims.
As for the interpretation of male and female facial features in the article, although there is a certain basis in ancient culture, it is inevitably subjective. For example, the idea that men with plump and straight noses are rich and noble, while those with a knife-like nose is mean seems too subjective and lacks scientific basis in modern times. There is also a certain cultural bias in the interpretation of women's mouth size and color, which is difficult to take as an objective criterion.
In general, physiognomy, as a cultural phenomenon in ancient times, reflects the values and lifestyles of the society at that time. However, in modern society, we are more focused on science and rationality, and we should treat ancient traditional ideas with an open mind. Physiognomy may have a certain enlightening effect on some people, but we cannot use it as the only basis for judging a person's fate. In our own lives, we should pay more attention to personal efforts and choices, and grasp the initiative of destiny.
