Long legs and short fortune _ long legs and short fate

Why did the ancients say that long legs and short legs are blessed? Is there any basis?

The folks have "the upper body length, assisting the king; Short upper body, shallow blessing ","long upper body, sitting in nave; The saying that the lower body is long and busy. This is flattery. There is another saying: "The upper body is long and the lower body is short. Not eating is laziness. "This is a common saying that workers cherish themselves.

The ideal proportion of the upper and lower parts of the human body, with the navel as the dividing line, should conform to the principle of "golden section", that is to say, if a person's body length is 1 .618m, then his upper part should be 0.618m, his lower part should be1m, and the ratio of upper and lower parts is about. The figure is not ideal enough and can be covered up with clothes. As for blessing, it is just a wish or ridicule.
