Is it necessary to look good?

What looks good doesn't necessarily look good.

Face is a kind of folk knowledge to explore fate by looking at facial features, and it is a branch of the theory of yin-yang and five elements system in classical philosophy. Yin and yang and five elements are gasified, giving birth to everything. When a person is destined to go to heaven, he will wait for his body. All external body surface features contain different fate information. Therefore, the ancients thought that as long as we grasp the law, we can calculate a person's wealth, poverty and destiny from the information revealed by the five senses.

The origin of the five senses is closely related to the social background and philosophical theory of ancient society. The confluence of Yin-Yang and Five Elements forms the framework of China's traditional thinking, which is widely used in various fields. In ancient times, because people's understanding of the essence of things came from classical philosophy, they began to explore knowledge from the theoretical system of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

People often say that a melon is good or bad, raw, ripe, bitter and sweet, just look at its shape and color. The horse is very strong and walks fast and slowly. You can know whether it is a good horse or a good dog by looking at the uniformity, coat color, manner and breath of all its parts.

So do people. People's "destiny" is inseparable from "looks" and "looks". "Appearance" is the appearance, posture and characteristics of things or people; "Color" is the appearance and expression of things or people. This is predestined by some factors before people are born, both fixed and variable, and people's fate is influenced by congenital factors and acquired factors; The development of things is variable, and the face of people changes with the time and space after birth. Therefore, from the perspective of people's physical condition, facial features, etc. , we can infer people's "fate" and "good or bad luck".

Origin and rise

The earliest face records can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period in the 7th century BC. According to relevant documents, facial expressions were popular in the upper class at the latest in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, when many nobles chose family heirs, they already regarded faces as the basis of judgment. At this time, physiognomy fortune-telling was obviously not the initial situation, which showed that the physiognomy recorded in Zuo Zhuan was not only widespread, but also formed a certain physiognomy system.
