Eyebrows are one inch high. Is it true that you have money?

It's a joke not to ask if the eyebrow is one inch high, but it can't be true. In the past, the old man said that eyebrows are too close to the eyes, which is easy to cause emotional problems and provoke rotten peaches. Therefore, if the eyebrows are far away from the eyes, they will generally be considered rich, so the eyebrows will be one inch higher and wealth will not be asked. These can't be true.

The origin and rise of the five senses

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 is obviously not the initial situation, which shows that the physiognomy recorded in Zuo Zhuan is not only widespread, but also forms a certain physiognomy system.

There are many important facial analysis tools and terms, the most important of which are "five senses", "three stops" and "zodiac". In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official named Shu, who first used these physiognomy principles to tell people fortune and became a "astrologer" in the imperial court. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Gu Buziqing in the State of Jin and a Tang Ju in the State of Liang in the Warring States Period. Both of them were famous astrologers and astrologers.

Because they were beneficial to the ruling class and supported and valued by the authorities of past dynasties, a large number of professional astrologers and astrologers appeared among the people later. After the Han Dynasty, some people compiled the techniques and experiences related to physiognomy into books, such as Liu Zhuang's Physiognomy, so physiognomy became more and more popular.
