archaism
The so-called proverb is called a popular saying among the people in Historical Records and Funny Biography. It is a very famous proverb, such as a debacle. Later, in the Han Dynasty, in Liu Xiang's Shuo Yuan, proverbs were referred to as fixed sentences that were widely circulated among the people, easy to understand and reflected reality. Since then, there have been more and more proverbs, most of which reflect the labor experience and life wisdom of the ancients and are applied by us. There is a saying in the countryside; "Men look at their noses, women look at their mouths, and they live a rich life with little right and wrong". What's the point?
In ancient China, a hundred schools of thought contended during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was an era of ideological prosperity. At this stage, the ancients left us many famous ideas, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, militarists, Mohism and so on. With the development of the times, these thoughts have produced many different branches, such as physiognomy derived from the yin-yang and five-element system of classical philosophy.

The so-called physiognomy refers to judging a person's character and future destiny by observing his appearance and manner. There are many kinds of physiognomy, such as palm reading, face reading, bone reading, eye reading, mouth reading and so on. In modern times, we may think that this is just superstition, but we have to admit that this kind of fortune-telling and geomantic omen has its unique ideological connotation.
Fortune-telling has many universal experiences, which have been turned into a life experience by us. For example, a sly look, such an expression, we think he may do something stealing chickens and dogs. There are also some people who are heavy-minded and upright in life, and are often regarded as open and aboveboard good people by us. There are even words such as "the heart is connected with the spirit", which shows that fortune-telling has gradually taken root in China's ancient civilization for thousands of years. Even in modern times, we can still see the shadow of human face in our daily life.
life experience
Rural proverbs; "Men look at their noses, women look at their mouths, have money, and there is nothing wrong in life." The meaning of this proverb is simple. When you look at a man, you should look at your nose at first sight. Nose means to gather wealth. If this man's nose is tall and straight, it means that this man will have wealth and will be a rich and expensive person in the future. When you see a woman, you should look at the opposite mouth at the first time. The mouth represents Lu Yun. If the woman's mouth is small, there will be good luck in this life, but if the woman's mouth is big, she may encounter some setbacks.
Besides, what does this proverb mean? That is, this proverb is only the common experience of the ancients, and it does not represent the whole story. For example, randomly select 100 men with tall and straight noses. Perhaps most of them live a very happy life, but there will always be a few people whose lives are full of setbacks and difficulties. For women, we must have seen people with big mouths but happy lives, and people with small cherry mouths but unhappy lives.
Although the ancient fortune-telling experience is condensed in it, it is more important to rely on yourself. We must never give up trying to wait for success just because others say that we are lucky in this life, otherwise we will eventually suffer the consequences.
