Regarding appearance, Xiamen University professor Yi Zhongtian has his own opinion. He believes:
The fashion in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was to "judge people by their appearance." This kind of culture once made Cao Cao very embarrassed. He refused to call himself emperor, and his poor image was also one of the reasons. Because in those days, image was important. A person's appearance can even determine his success or failure.
He gave the example of establishing a crown prince. According to the legislation, the eldest son should be established. But the choice of Yuan Shao was his younger son Yuan Shang . The reason is that Yuan Shang is "beautiful". Another example is and Sun Ce , a handsome guy. Later he was injured and his face was cut. Sun Ce said, "My face has become like this, can I still make contributions?" So he yelled, the wound burst and he died. Therefore, it is not easy for a person with a poor image to convince the public if he wants to take away someone else's position and become the emperor himself.
He also cited the description of appearance in Chen Shou "Three Kingdoms ":
Yuan Shao is "prestigious and majestic"; Liu Bei is "seven feet and five inches in length, with his hands down and his knees down, and he can only see his ears." "; Zhuge Liang is "eight feet long, and his appearance is very majestic"; Liu Biao is "more than eight feet long, and his appearance is very majestic"; Sun Quan is "the appearance is magnificent, the bones are not stable, and he is very noble." "Table"; Zhou Yu is "grow strong and beautiful" and so on.
And Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao's appearance was not mentioned at all.
He quoted " Shi Shuo Xinyu·Rong Zhi":
When the Wei generals met with the Huns envoys, they thought that their appearance was ugly and not enough to conquer the distant country, so they sent Cui Jigui generation, and the emperor took a knife and set it on his bedside. After that, he ordered the spies to ask: "How is King Wei?" The Xiongnu envoy replied: "The King of Wei is very elegant, but the person who catches the knife on the bedside is a hero!" Wei Wu heard about it and pursued and killed him. This envoy.
Yi Zhongtian came to the conclusion: First, Cao Cao did have a poor image, and even he felt ashamed of himself; second, appearance is important, but spiritual temperament is even more important. Therefore, the Huns’ envoys said that those who catch swords on the bedside are the real heroes.
" On Born Criminals " comes from the Italian scholar Cesare Lombroso, who is revered as the "father of modern criminology". Long was originally a military doctor, but was later transferred to work in a mental hospital and served as a prison doctor. Through medical empirical research , Long discovered that some physical and psychological characteristics of criminals are different from ordinary people.
For example, in terms of physical characteristics, people who are born criminals have abnormally developed jaws and crow's feet outside the corners of their eyes.
Another example is the psychological characteristics of criminals who are born with lack of pain perception, keen vision, pathological vanity, irritability, superstition, etc.
Long proposed the "theory of born criminals", believing that for these people, crime is not their choice, but something they are born with.
In addition to recording happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, a human face also deeply imprints a person's personality and life. It is not groundless to glean a person's personality and behavior from their facial features.
Justin Carr, director of the psychology department at Brock University in Canada, further discovered that people with different face shapes also have differences in executive ability, which can even be used as one of the criteria for selecting athletes.
People with round faces, also known as "baby faces", are naturally optimistic, most of them have cheerful personalities and are friendly to others; but they are soft-hearted and easily tempted by sweet words. People with square faces have clear facial lines, giving people a clean and neat feeling, and usually have keen observation skills; however, men with square faces are aggressive and like to keep to themselves, while women will appear powerful and inaccessible. Feel.
People with oval face are mostly perfectionists, strict with themselves, and lenient towards others; but they often have strong self-esteem, and if they are hurt, the consequences may be serious. People with long faces appear calm, confident, unwilling to admit defeat, and like to be leaders, but they are not very considerate of others and often even damage interpersonal relationships. People with inverted triangle faces are dreamers, but lack the ability to take action. They like to imagine, but have difficulty realizing their dreams.
