What is the meaning of "long cow, short horse and short girl" in Chaoshan dialect?

Hello, long cow short horse short posture.

Chaoshan proverb

Zi Niang is a general term for women; The little girl is called "Purple Lady"; The old woman is called "old lady"; A beautiful woman is called "Ya Zi Niang".

Interpretation: Chaoshan traditional customs think that long cows, short horses and short girls are all good. There is an old saying in Chaoshan that when looking for a daughter-in-law, you should choose a petite one, thinking that she is feminine, gentle and virtuous, and prosperous.

Second, women are virtuous and rich when they have children.

Both women in Xiang have a "heavy chin", which means that a woman's face is plump, not powerful, so it belongs to a virtuous and rich face. A woman's face is an inverted triangular face like an awl. This face is not rich for a long time and lacks righteousness. However, the face is full and the cheekbones are not prominent. Either the knife cuts the face or the husband's face.

Willow eyebrows are soft-hearted. The eyebrows are quite curved and arc-shaped at the same time, from the head of the eye to the back of the eye, which is a "willow eyebrow". This eyebrow-shaped woman is extremely kind-hearted and soft-hearted, which is of great help to her husband. Because there are not many women with this eyebrow shape, if men encounter it, they should actively grasp it so as not to miss the opportunity.

I love hygiene and am diligent. I think everyone knows that the environment at home has a great influence on everyone's mood. Nobody likes his home like a garbage dump. If the house is in a mess and there is rubbish everywhere, even if a man loves you again, he will be very unhappy when he comes home very tired after working all day. So in my opinion, it is very important for women to love cleanliness, for reference only.
