Rural proverb; "Men look at their noses and women look at their mouths, and their lives are rich and there is little right and wrong". What is the meaning?
China has been a feudal society for thousands of years. Under this social framework, only a few people can receive a complete education. It is impossible for a farmer who has been a farmer for generations to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics with others at the beginning. This is unrealistic. However, the truth in some books is still well known by the masses, and proverbs play a very key role in the transmission of ancient deeds and life experiences.
Ancient saying
The so-called saying is called a popular saying among the people in Biography of Historian Funny. For example, a crushing defeat is a very famous saying. Later, in the Han Dynasty, in Liu Xiang's Shuo Yuan, proverbs were referred to as fixed sentences that were widely circulated among the people, easy to understand and reflected reality. Since then, there have been more and more proverbs, most of which reflect the labor experience and life wisdom of the ancients and are applied by us. There is a rural saying; "Men look at their noses and women look at their mouths, and their lives are rich and there is little right and wrong". What is the meaning?
In ancient China, a hundred schools of thought contended during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was an era of ideological prosperity. At this stage, the ancients left us many famous ideas, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, Strategist, Mohism and so on. With the development of the times, many different branches of these thoughts have been born, such as physiognomy derived from the yin-yang and five-element system of classical philosophy.
physiognomy
The so-called physiognomy refers to judging a person's character and future destiny by observing his physical appearance and demeanor. There are many kinds of physiognomy, such as palm reading, facial reading, bone reading, eye reading, mouth reading and so on. In modern times, we may think that this is just superstition, but we have to admit that this kind of fortune-teller and geomantic omen have their unique ideological connotation.
There are many common experiences in fortune-reading, which have been turned into a kind of life experience by us. For example, a sly look, such a face, we think he may do something to steal the chicken and steal the dog. There are also some people who are heavy-eyed and upright in life, and they are often regarded as an aboveboard good person by us. There are even words such as "mind-to-heart", which shows that in thousands of years of ancient civilization in China, the study of fortune-telling has gradually taken root in people's hearts. Even in modern times, we can still see the shadow of faces in our daily life.
life experience
rural proverbs; "men look at their noses and women look at their mouths, and they are rich and have little right and wrong in their lives." The meaning of this proverb is very simple. When you look at a man, you should look at his nose at first sight. Nose means gathering wealth. If this man's nose is tall and straight, it means that this man will have wealth and will be a rich and expensive person in the future. When you see a woman, you should look at the opposite mouth at the first time. The mouth represents Lu Yun. If the woman's mouth is small, she will have a good fortune in her life, but if the woman's mouth is big, she may encounter some setbacks.
besides, what's the meaning of this proverb? That is, this proverb is only the common experience of the ancients, and it does not represent the whole story. For example, a hundred men with tall and straight noses are randomly selected. Perhaps most of them live a very happy life, but there will always be a few people whose lives are full of setbacks and difficulties. For women, we must have seen people with big mouths but very happy lives, and people with small cherry mouths but unhappy lives.
Although the ancient people's experience in fortune-telling is condensed in it, it's more important to rely on ourselves. We must never give up our hard work and wait for success just because others say that we will be lucky in this life, otherwise we will eventually reap the consequences.
