As the saying goes, "men look at their noses, women look at their mouths, and there is little right and wrong in life." What does this mean?

The ancients believed that judging a person's social status and potential can sometimes be judged by his appearance. Of course, this is not without scientific basis. For example, in the past, scholars were bookish, and many young artists in modern times also gave people a gentle feeling. This shows that it is reasonable to judge a book by its cover.

Let's start with "men look at their noses, women look at their mouths". The so-called "men look at the nose" means that for men, the basis of judgment mainly lies in the nose. The ancients believed that whether a person's face is condensed with righteousness is closely related to the image of the nose. If the nose is right, then the five senses will generally be dignified, giving people a feeling of full righteousness. But if the bridge of the nose is crooked, it will give people a disgusting feeling, and even make people think that this person may have ulterior motives. But if you have an aquiline nose, you will think that this person is extremely vicious-of course, this feeling is subjective, but sometimes it does make people feel certain.

Let's talk about "women watch their mouths." Ancient times paid attention to women's "three obedience and four virtues", among which "four virtues" included the requirements for women's image. The ancients believed that women's mouths had a close influence on their images. For example, in ancient aesthetics, a beautiful woman has a small mouth, so a woman with a big mouth is not welcome. Even the ancients thought that a big mouth woman would cause trouble for no reason, which made the ancient big mouth woman suffer a lot of grievances.

Besides, "a lifetime of wealth and less right and wrong." In ancient society, men looking for jobs and women looking for objects were not as diverse and free as they are now. As mentioned above, if ancient men had a bad image, even if they studied well, they would be easily restricted when they tried to get fame, and if their grades were equal, those with good images would be given priority. Women get married. Since ancient times, beautiful girls have a higher probability of marrying a good family, while ugly girls can hardly have a good home. Therefore, the ancients felt this and thought that a person with a good image could "live a rich life with little right and wrong".

At present, this proverb left by the ancients can only be regarded as a reference, but it is not absolutely correct. For example, some people look good when they are young, but the image of their noses becomes ugly because of acquired factors. However, a person's personality will not be different because of this factor. For women, today's aesthetics are different from those in ancient times. Some people still maintain a classical aesthetic, like a woman with a small cherry mouth, while others like a woman with a big mouth.
