Many people especially believe in physiognomy, which is to carefully observe the appearance of people and judge some accurate information, which can be traced back to a very early period. According to the records of books, in the Yao Shunyu period there was this kind of effective judgment of the external image of people, and by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, such a method had become a special science. Many people who were good at studying xiangshu also went to the court and were liked by these rulers and highly respected.
In the last year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, there was a Xiangshi passing by a place halfway, when the weather was particularly hot, he was very thirsty to see a woman in the village with a child, who was working in the field, he went forward to ask for a bowl of water to drink, after the other party took water for him, he felt that there was no way to repay, so he carefully observed the appearance of this woman. He also said to her that your appearance is that the nobles will definitely get rich in the future, and then they also looked at the two children around her, saying that the reason why Madame can get honor is because of this boy.
Just after this Xiangshiren left, it was not long before the woman's husband also came to the field, he told these words to her husband completely, who knew that the husband quickly chased after him after listening to it, asking this person to meet him for himself, Xiangshi did a great courtesy to him after reading it, and said that your appearance is very rich, and left in a hurry. This woman who worked in the fields was the later Empress Lü, and her husband was Liu Bang, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.
According to the historical records of Liu Bang, at that time in the county town was a very rogue person, more than 30 years old no woman willing to marry him, in the process of attending a banquet, the future father-in-law saw his appearance, he felt very surprised, think that he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future, under the opposition of everyone around him, he married his daughter to Liu Bang as a wife. After marrying him, Lü Yan was very hardworking, going to the field to do farm work during the day, but also serving his in-laws, and after this, he also raised a pair of children, which can be said to be a miserable life.
At this time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already begun to oppose the Qin Dynasty, and later Liu Bang also revolted, and with the help of those around him, he achieved great success and founded the Han Dynasty. Before he founded the great cause, his father-in-law and this fellow considered him to be very noble, so what kind of appearance did he have? The original book records that his nose was very tall, and the part of the nose was enlarged, and there was no depression between his two eyes. Saying that his facial features have a great resemblance to the legendary dragon, this means that his forehead area is very flat, like a square.
There is also a raised bone in the middle, according to legend, only the dragon has such a bone, can play a great role, the real reach the clouds to ride the fog, in the appearance of ordinary people, most of the forehead is round, not this square. If a person has such a forehead, then he already has the preliminary conditions for the appearance of wealth, and if such a square concave bone can be found in the middle, which is somewhat similar to that of a dragon, then according to the analysis of books, this is the appearance of an emperor.
In these physiognomy books, this bone from the top of the nose to the top of the head is called the Fuxi bone. That is to say, people who have this kind of appearance are likely to become future monarchs in the future, so that the overall summary can be concluded that Liu Bang has a very rich nose, plus a good beard, and some ordinary people are different, such a look is naturally extraordinary, and may be born to be a monarch. Many people feel that this method is somewhat arbitrary, in fact, the goodness and evil in a person's heart can really be reflected through appearance, for example, when the director selects actors, if the other party looks very decent, then he can play a positive energy person, on the contrary, he can only be a villain.
