Chinese culture has a long history. China's ancient feudal dynasty gave birth to many extraordinary people, who were either tall or unusual. In short, these descriptions of those who have achieved great deeds have never been broken from ancient times to the present, and it seems that only extraordinary appearances and appearances can be worthy of their immortal deeds.
Ancient people always had a special worship and superstition of "appearance". For example, the printing hall is black, the lung disease is difficult to escape; the eyes are dizzy, the lonely and the poor are lowly, and so on. Historical records record that the face is a special prediction technique, which can accurately determine the fate of a person.
Therefore, in the records of the history books, there are descriptions such as Liu Bang's "Long Zhun and Long Yan, Gao Zu is a man", as well as Liu Bei's earlobes and shoulders, the heavenly circle place, and so on. In addition to these, there is also a face called "double pupil", which the ancients rumored to be a kind of princely general appearance.
This appearance is very noble in the physiognomy system, and in ancient times there were eight people who had this special eye, and they did create immortal feats. So, which eight people are there? Is this "double pupil" really so divine?
What exactly did "double pupil" mean in ancient times
"Double pupil" is actually called "double pupil", which means that two pupils appear in one eye. On Earth, there are reptiles or mammals whose pupils are very narrow and long, so there may be many pupils in the eyes of these reptiles or mammals, and they are generally serrated.
Nevertheless, the phenomenon of double pupils in humans is still very rare, if a person has double pupils in the eyes, then it is very likely that there are two situations, one is caused by a disease in the process of acquired growth and development, and the other may be congenital inheritance.
According to the history book "Records of History" written by Sima Qian, "Shun's eyes are heavy and his eyes are heavy, and he smells from Zhou Sheng. "This is the earliest record of double pupils. In addition, there is also the description of the double pupil in the book "Xunzi", "the reference of the two pupils", which means that the two pupils have a place where they intersect, which is a very appropriate description.
Ancient China attached great importance to "Xiangshu", so many "Xiangshu scholars" were also born. These "phasers" judge a person's appearance and make corresponding judgments about the person's future fate and its trend. Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there have been records of "double pupils". Xiangshu scholars believe that "double pupils" can be said to be very rare, if someone has two pupils in one eye, then the person will be considered to have the appearance of an emperor.
In the ancient history of China, there were really eight people who had two pupils in their eyes, and they all made great achievements, enough for future generations to remember them. These eight people were Cangjie, who made characters in the era of the Yellow Emperor; Yu Shun, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and a famous sage in history; One of the Five Emperors of the Spring and Autumn Period, Gong Zhong'er of Jin; Xiang Yu, the "King of Western Chu"; Lü Guang, the King of Later Liang; Gao Yang, the king of Northern Qi, Yu Juluo, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yu, a famous lyricist of "When is the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon".
These people are all well-known figures in history, so what exactly have they done that will be remembered by future generations?
Prodigies – Eight ancient celebrities
The first in line is Cangjie. As we all know, "Cangjie Made Characters" is a long-standing allusion to history. According to historical records, Cangjie is not only "double pupils", but also "dragon face and four eyes, born with wisdom" in the words of the history books. Legend has it that he was able to observe the direction of the stars with his pupils, and thus invented writing in accordance with Providence.
The second person was Yu Shun. This person is one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and according to legend, he not only has "double pupils", but his double pupils will also glow, and his appearance is also very outstanding. Therefore, Yu Shun has the reputation of "Chonghua".
The third is heavy ears. Zhong'er was one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the early years, he was exiled by the state because of his provocation, but later, Zhong'er received the support and help of Qin Mugong and others, and returned to the Jin State to become a monarch. After becoming the lord of the Jin Dynasty, It took Zhong'er only a few years to develop the national strength of the Jin State to the same as the other four strongest princely states, so he was also known as one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The fourth is Xiang Yu, the "King of Western Chu". This person is the most famous of the eight people with "double pupils". Legend has it that he is infinitely powerful, and at the age of thirteen, he can lift a mouthful of dading, which is known as "Li Ba Shan Qi Qi Shi". In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu was able to defeat the main army of the Qin State, which can be called a generation of tyrants at that time.
The fifth was Lü Guang, the king of Houliang. Lü Guangsheng was born during the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he was also a hero who appeared in the chaotic world. According to historical records, he was able to recover a state at the age of twenty-two and capture local generals, which can be described as a military wizard.
The sixth was Gao Yang, the king of Northern Qi. Although his reign was not long, he was the founding emperor of the Northern Dynasty Qi State. His country was in the north, but it was able to crush a few tribes such as the Huns and Turks, and constantly expanded his territory.
The seventh is Yu Juluo, who also had immortal feats in the Sui Dynasty.
The last one was Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu did not have the great talent and strategy of a general, nor did he have the ability to stabilize the four sides like the lord of the country, but he was an excellent lyricist who wrote such an ancient famous sentence as "How many sorrows can the king have" that he has written.
The anomaly of the "double pupil" with scientific explanations
In ancient times, there were always some strange things happening around people. Due to the lack of scientific knowledge and the blockage of people's information, there are always those who classify these phenomena as theology and do not study the phenomenon itself. At the same time, people's cognition of certain phenomena is also gradually formed through continuous research.
What is the scientific explanation of "double pupil" in today's world? Biologists once thought that the human double pupil is like the "compound eye" of an insect in the biological world, able to see things from two angles at the same time. Some people even think that people with "double pupils" can see things that ordinary people can't see.
However, after scientists' research on "double-pupil" people, it has been found that in fact, some of the things that biologists think are wrong. The appearance of "double pupils" is actually only a congenital abnormality, which is due to the appearance of iriditis and then triggers the adhesion of the iris, resulting in the appearance of two pupils. The appearance of the double pupil does not affect the imaging of the human retina, and they see the same things as ordinary people.
Therefore, the "double pupil" in ancient times was called the appearance of the princely general, which is actually not completely accurate. It is only because the probability of this appearance appearing is very small, and the probability of appearing at the same time as some big people in history is relatively high, which has led to some people who think that it is a rare imperial appearance. From this point of view, the "double pupil" is only a special appearance, and it has no practical relationship with a person's fate.
