What does "men look at the five senses and women look at the fleeting time" mean? What does "fleeting time" mean? Does this make sense?

In The Journey to the West, one of the four classical novels, there is such a fragment: a fortune teller made a gambling agreement with the Dragon King. The Dragon King thinks that he is the sea king, and it is he who has the final say in such a small matter as rain, so he doesn't take the fortune teller's words seriously, thinking that he just swaggered through the city and talked nonsense.

Unexpectedly, the content of the jade emperor's decree is exactly the same as what the fortune teller said, which can be said to be a word difference.

But as a dragon king, how can he stand such anger? So he deliberately leaked the rain and confidently went to the fortune teller to settle accounts.

I caught it at a glance. Finally, I had to ask the fortune teller for help, even kneeling in public, but I still couldn't escape the severe punishment. This is the end of gambling, which is very sad.

Then the question is, why did our ancestors value fortune tellers so much? Even been deified many times? The reason for this is, in the final analysis, because the ancestors were anxious and afraid of the unknown, which was beyond their control and made them more and more curious.

There is a saying among the people: "Men look at the five senses and women look at the fleeting time", which is actually a way for ancestors to predict people's fate, and it also confirms the importance attached to fortune tellers from another side.

So, what does this proverb mean? What does "fleeting time" mean? Does this statement make sense? Next, let's do in-depth exploration together.

Literally, it is not difficult at all, that is to say, the fate of men can be seen from the "five senses", while the fate of women should be inferred from the "fleeting time".

This "five senses" is easy to understand, but what does "fleeting time" mean? Many people are at a loss and can't find a breakthrough.

As usual, let's take a look at the first half of the sentence: "Men look at the five senses".

The "five senses" mentioned by the ancestors, from the forehead, are: forehead, eyebrows, eyes, ears and nose.

A person's forehead is also called Tang Yin, and he often hears a sentence: "If your Tang Yin is black, there will be disaster".

The implication is that if Tang Yin is spacious, the future will be happy because it is bright.

If the forehead is narrow, there is no blessing, because the road ahead will be narrow and there is no potential for development at all.

It can be seen from this that the ancestors actually integrated many things into people's "five senses" and associated more meanings from their faces to make predictions.

Although eyebrows play the least role in the "five senses", their decorative role is irreplaceable. If a person doesn't have eyebrows, it's like drawing a dragon without eyes. He always feels that something is wrong, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Therefore, people with beautiful eyebrows indicate a bright future.

If it's a splayed eyebrow, it's the opposite. It's not only unsightly, but also makes the whole face very uncoordinated.

Therefore, it has also been given tricks, always complacent because of a little cleverness. Such people not only can't afford it, but even have no future.

Needless to say, eyes, as the "window of the soul", can be said to be the most valued existence among the "five senses".

One eye can convey thousands of messages. This is the power of eyes. A pair of bright and beautiful eyes often give people a good first impression, and things will be easy in the future.

Ears represent a man's career.

This must be combined with Buddhism, because it has far-reaching influence. With big ears and a big belly, it can be said that it is a symbol of being rich and expensive.

Therefore, we can also see some fate from our ears.

The nose is in the center of the face, which not only has practical effect, but also plays the role of aesthetic optimization.

A strong nose is obviously much better than a flat nose, and it can even add points to the whole face.

Based on the above information, the ancestors thought that the future destiny could be predicted through this "five senses".

This has to be combined with my own life experience, plus the evidence of some books, and finally come to a conclusion.

For example, The Complete Compilation of Ma Yixiang's Laws is an authoritative book.

Write down your own practical theory, deduce and demonstrate it, and it will be close.

Because in ancient society, the idea that men are superior to women is particularly serious, and it is necessary to demonstrate the fate of men very accurately.

In contrast, it is much easier to infer the fate of women.

The latter part of the proverb says, "Women look at fleeting time", in which fleeting time refers to women's five senses, which are divided into upper class, middle class and lower class.

Upper flow refers to the facial area from hairline to the top of eyebrows, middle flow refers to the facial area from eyebrows to upper lip, and lower flow refers to the facial area from upper lip to chin.

From this distribution, we can roughly judge whether a woman's appearance is beautiful or not.

Because, if these three areas are roughly equal, it means that this woman has either a flat nose, a protruding chin or a high forehead. In any case, such five senses are not beautiful.

On the other hand, if there is a big difference between the three regions, it means that the edges and corners are sharp and the facial features are exquisite.

For women living in ancient times, such a beautiful face is a powerful guarantee for a better life in the future and can enter a good environment.

Ancestors used three facial regions: upper class, middle class and lower class to predict women's childhood, youth and old age.

Although far-fetched, there was also a high degree of trust in that era.

Do you have a new understanding of the sentence "Men look at the five senses, women look at the fleeting time"? Meeting acquaintances is a kind of "physiognomy" that our ancestors believed in very much, and it has been circulated for thousands of years.

Although there is no scientific basis, most of them are the result of real life experience. To a certain extent, we can infer a person's subsequent life direction through family environment, personality, attitude and other dimensions, so as to predict his fate.

In other words, the so-called "fortune telling" of the ancestors is actually a bold speculation based on the status quo, and its credibility is not high.

However, as a traditional cultural custom, while respecting it, we should clearly realize that this is essentially a guess, not really calculating a person's future, which is a strong logical reasoning.

Each man is the architect of his own fate. Only by making up your mind to change can you have a better future.

Other rhetoric, all of which are ostentatious, has no practical significance.
