Turtle Back Fortune Telling _ Turtle Back Fortune Telling Picture Book

The ancients said that "a turtle's back and a snake's waist cannot be crossed", and the second half of the sentence is more straightforward. what do you think?

Proverbs are an important part of China traditional culture. In the long river of history, countless wise men summed it up with their own wisdom and life experience. Today, with the development of science, proverbs can still give us a lot of help in our lives.

As the saying goes, the technique of facial expression is the crystallization of the wisdom of the former sages, and the technique of facial expression includes Yin and Yang, five elements and the philosophy of the ancients. In our daily life, we often hear some common sayings about faces, such as "two cheeks can't be handed over without meat" and "a man looks at his nose and a woman looks at his mouth, and wealth is a life of little right and wrong".

Bian Xiao likes and respects traditional culture very much, but today, with the development of science and technology, some proverbs or some experiences summarized by some ancestors are no longer suitable for today's society. For facial expression skills, Bian Xiao thinks that most of them are scientific, but as the saying goes, some of them are unreasonable. For example, "a turtle's back is like a snake's waist", I think it is too arbitrary.

What does this sentence mean? You can't cross a turtle's back and snake's waist? Turtle back literally means turtle's back. Because the turtle's back protrudes higher, people call it hunchback (rickets). Snake waist, better understood, means that women's waist is very slender.

The ancients thought that people who bowed their backs and liked to put their hands behind their backs were very shrewd. They think that people who are good at playing tricks cannot associate with such people. People who walk with slender waists and like to twist their hips look beautiful, but their ancestors have considered beauty unlucky since ancient times, and such people are not very disciplined in life. Therefore, there is a saying that "the turtle's back and the snake's waist cannot be crossed."

Bian Xiao thinks this is too arbitrary. It is said that the skin of the body is influenced by parents, who can decide that their physical appearance is natural. And people's character and mind are caused by the acquired living environment and educational environment. So you can't judge a person by his natural physical appearance, or you can't.

However, in ancient feudal society, people were very judge by appearances. The ancients took science exams and even judged people by their appearances. Some people are born ugly, so they miss the top three. They even set an eight-character standard of "the same celestial official is full of armor and gas." Let's take a look at the candidates' figure and appearance respectively. Famous examples in history are Huang Chao and Zhong Kui, Huang Chao didn't become the top scholar because of his ugliness, and Zhong Kui didn't even get into Jinshi directly. Bian Xiao thinks this is a bit excessive. What do you think?

In fact, it is not a complete proverb to look at people without a knife. The complete statement of this proverb should be: "Don't look at people without a knife." The second half sentence is not as common as the first half sentence. Some people may not know it yet, but many people regard the second half sentence as a classic. Bian Xiao thinks this is too much.

What does it mean to look at people without a knife? Squinting at people means that you don't have to look directly at people, but you like to squint at people. The ancients thought that such people were more scheming, or that they looked down on you if they didn't look directly at you, so their ancestors thought such people were unattainable.

Regarding strabismus, Bian Xiao thinks it's not rolling his eyes. Usually, rolling your eyes is a little gesture of disagreeing with others' opinions, which is really disrespectful. But strabismus is mostly natural, such as "cross-eyed". How can you deny a person with such a natural physical defect? This is absolutely all wet.

Although there is a saying that "phase is born by heart", the meaning of "phase is born by heart" definitely does not mean that natural appearance determines people's quality. "Heart-to-heart" actually refers to a person's facial expressions and small movements, not his natural appearance. There is also a saying that "you can't judge a book by its cover", which I think is very reasonable. You must never judge a person's character arbitrarily by his appearance.

Hongyan said that no matter "there is no meat on the cheeks", "men look at the nose, women look at the mouth" or "a turtle's back and a snake's waist can't be crossed, so people don't need a knife when they look at it", Bian Xiao thinks this statement is too arbitrary. No matter in ancient times or now, there are many people with such appearance characteristics, who are very, very excellent people and are making great contributions to society.
