People's facial features and limbs have grown up from childhood to aging. Although they have experienced the ups and downs of life and have only grown up with the human body, the uniqueness of facial features and limbs can generally accompany a person's life. Otherwise, for many years, two people may not be able to recognize each other at a glance.
So the smart ancients also studied physiognomy and palmistry based on this characteristic. The old saying "Good and evil look at the mouth and eyes, and rich and poor look at the hands and feet" was also passed down through physiognomy. What does this sentence mean and be credible?
Today we will analyze it briefly.
There is a Chinese idiom called "face is born from the heart", which means that a person's beauty and ugliness are determined by his inner beauty and ugliness. From this we can see that this old saying is not groundless and nonsense.
First, let’s talk about the first sentence “Good and evil look at the mouth and eyes”. Here we analyze the mouth and eyes separately. Is it reasonable to say "good and evil are right" first?
The mouth belongs to the cashier in the facial features. Its shape, size and thickness of the lips have different meanings in physiognomy. The most typical idiom that can illustrate the problem is "sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks". This mouth shape is definitely not a good person. In addition, people with thin lips like to talk about others behind their backs. They are kind-hearted people. The old saying "big mouth eats all directions" and the idiom "straight nose and wide mouth" all show that people with big mouth have strong ability to do things, treat others sincerely and kindly, and women have a "small mouth" which is also a manifestation of charm and beauty. But if a man has a small mouth, he will not look big and beautiful, and he will be petty, stingy, and stingy, like a "sissy".
In short, everyone just needs to remember "the nose is straight and the mouth is wide and the mouth is truly kind, and the sharp mouth is not to be touched by monkey cheeks."
In addition, "good and evil look at the mouth" has another meaning, that is, speaking. As the saying goes, “Disaster comes from the mouth.” The degree of good and evil of a person exists in his heart, and what he said best reflects the good and evil beauty and ugliness of a person. Many times we can see the good and evil of a person from what he says. A person who speaks sarcastically and likes to attack others with vicious words will definitely not be much better. A person who speaks well and speaks in an orderly manner can be regarded as a person with cultivation and quality even if he is not a great charity.
said “Good and evil look at the mouth” and let’s talk about “Good and evil look at the eyes”. "The eyes are the window of the soul." Sometimes the good and evil in a person's heart are really reflected in his eyes. Kind people have gentle eyes, kindness, warmth, and make people feel comfortable and warm. The eyes of the traitor and evil person are like cold light, like sharp swords, fierce and murderous intent, making people shudder. Of course, there are also kind-hearted people with sharp eyes. They are the wide-eyed eyes when facing bad guys doing evil, and the "Vajra's rage" that "has hated evil like hatred" and "punished evil and promoted good".
Of course, in addition to the above, "good and evil look at the eyes" also includes the relationship between the shape of the eyes and character in the physiological sense, but many of these statements that contain superstitious thoughts are unscientific.
In fact, "good and evil look at the eyes" has another meaning, that is, some people will "see people to take advantage of the situation". When facing people of different identities and statuses, people of different statuses are not traitors, but they can be regarded as villains who pursue fame and profit, and there are still many such people. I believe many people have seen it.
After saying "Good and evil look at the mouth", let's continue to analyze the next sentence "The rich and the poor look at the hands and feet."
In fact, this sentence is better understood than the previous sentence. In ancient times, people mainly rely on agricultural production to make a living. But at that time, unlike now, farmers have their own land. In ancient times, land was in the hands of a few people. These people who owned the land were either rich or noble, and were veritable rich people.
As their tenants, farmers worked hard and worked in the fields for a year. Most of the food was collected into their own grain warehouses by the rich as rent. The food farmers received was not even enough to maintain a year's food.
But the farmers harvested thick calluses and rough skin on their hands.Some farmers don’t even have the money to make pairs of shoes on their feet. They wear straw sandals in winter and directly beat barefoot in summer. The rich have no worries about food and clothing, and don’t have to do farm work. They are so generous that they are white and fat, without a trace of calluses on their hands and fair skin. There are shoes on your feet in summer and boots in winter.
In addition, "The rich and the poor look at the hands and feet", there is another meaning, that is, to judge whether the person is poor or rich by analyzing the hand patterns, palm patterns, and the shape and size of the feet. This includes a lot of corrupt feudal dregs from the ancients, and many of them are unreasonable, so I won't go into details.
Through the above analysis, is there any reason for everyone to say the old saying "good and evil look at the mouth, and rich and poor look at the hands and feet"?
