Now there is that kind of personnel in the workplace, and this emphasis is to look at the person and judge whether the person is suitable for the position. In a way, take control of the fate of some people, especially those who have just graduated from college. How to measure this person, modern people have their own views, but the ancients also have a standard of measurement.
Like a popular saying now, it represents the previous ancestors, how to judge how this person is. There is the sentence "Good men have hair and do not whip spring, good women have fat and do not look at the lamp", what does it mean?
The unique art of the ancients
Regarding how this person is, some people's eyes are quite poisonous, and they can see at a glance how this person is. In "The Biography of Zhen Huan in the Harem", in order to judge whether Zhen Huan can help herself, she took advantage of Princess Wenyi's birthday feast to watch. Sure enough, at a glance, he "liked the other party" and decided that this person could definitely help himself, and this was indeed the case. Seriously investigated, it is the experience of duan concubines in palace fighting for a long time, and they have a unique view on watching harem women.
Since ancient times, those who have ascended to the throne, because they have experienced many things, generally look at people very accurately. Even if some people are careful and hide from so many people, they can't hide from those in power. Empress Yixiu in Zhen Huan's biography did so many bad things, hiding from others, even if the empress was deceived by her for so many years, she did not know that her beloved woman was killed by her. Only the last "Palace Fighting Champion" Empress Dowager was very clear about what she was doing, and knew what kind of person the other party really was.
In the official arena, those high officials have unique experience in looking at people, and generally do not easily trust others. Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty was very good at this knowledge, and from the appearance of a person, he could see the fate of this person in the official field in the future. Although he could not say that he was in the whole middle school, he saw that most of the officials were very accurate and were regarded as virtuous by posterity. The most powerful legend is that Yuan Tiangang once predicted that Wu Zetian would become emperor, and the consequences would be like this for decades.
Good men have hair and do not whip spring
Regarding this sentence, starting from two meanings, it represents the standard of judgment of a good man. That is to say, a man is in a particularly good state of health, and does not have to be like those beggars to pick up others to leave food for eating. Ancient farming society has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and naturally hopes that the men in the family will have strength, at least to ensure that the family eats and wears. "Good men have hair" means that the kind of man with a strong body looks very healthy and quite powerful.
In that kind of small-scale peasant society, it is generally a good thing to have strong men in the family. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the family does not worry about eating and wearing, so it is very important to pay attention to the import of Tim Ting. The heavens blow jade as a building, and the peach is more worry-free after ripening, that is, it tells the story of marrying a wife, which is very popular in the local area. If there are several men in the countryside, it is really a lot of wealth, and it is relatively easy to marry a wife in the family.
As for the "whip spring" mentioned in the article, it has a lot to do with China's history and traditional culture. Just like "Spring Festival", "cold food", etc., they all have a lot to do with our daily lives. The earliest traces back to the Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Emperor belonged to cattle, so the strict folk slaughter of cattle, even the use of cattle is not allowed. It seems to be a bit "similar" to India's cattle culture. But considering that cattle were an important productive force at that time, not allowing the use of cattle invisibly increased the workload of farmers. In order to vent their anger, many farmers will use cultivating cattle as tools to make gas
"Whip Spring" is an agricultural custom on the mainland, which originated from the Sui Dynasty. Because yang Guang, the Sui Dynasty emperor, was a cattle breeder, he did not allow farmers to enslave the cultivated cattle, which made many peasants dare to be angry and dare not speak out. At home, he often whipped the cultivating cattle and used them as Yang Guang's gas. This kind of folk has been completely handed down, even after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, it has not changed. But reluctant to really beat the cattle, they used paper to tie the cattle and fill them with grain, which had the origin of "whip spring".
For women's health standards
Now the society's constraints on women are relatively not as strong as in the past, and you can go out and play at will. However, in that era, this kind of root would not be allowed by the world, and it was often "three from four virtues." Emphasizing that "a good woman has a fat and does not look at the lamp" means that the woman is very strong and strong, basically belonging to that kind of lady. Strictly speaking, it is "the door does not step out of the two doors", and this system is strictly interpreted perfectly.
Emphasizing that "fat" does not mean that there is a meat meaning, this means abundance. The trial of beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty is to use fat as beauty, but it is not to say that kind of big fat man. The most famous is Yang Guifei, she is a dancer herself, and she is familiar with all kinds of dances. If you are really too fat, you can't jump up at all.
Strictly speaking, it is a kind of rich state, which at least means that the person has a good quality of life. If the life at home is not good, and the skinny bones who have been hungry for a long time will still have this state. In ancient times, poor women, eating and wearing were not good, and they had to be arranged to work every day, and there would be no such thing as "fat". At that time, people married wives and hoped to marry a rich lady, and the real reason was that they had nurture, and educating future generations was crucial.
Going out is not welcome
In addition, at that time, people did not have many rules for women, and they were strict not allowed to go out to play at will. Even if it is the same for major holidays, such as the Lantern Festival, there is a custom of going out to enjoy the lanterns, which is a rare moment of relaxation for everyone. There may also be some excellent men, which is a chance for idiot men and women to meet.
In modern times, this kind of thing is nothing in itself, but in the past, it was a big deal. Since Old Master Zhu proposed the "three from four virtues" for women, women's lives have been even more difficult, emphasizing that they are not married to their fathers, that they are married to their husbands, and that their husbands die from their sons. Basically in this life, I don't count what I say, and I obey men all. Without getting married, he couldn't go out at all, and he strictly met men other than his mother's family.
If a Song Dynasty woman goes out to play during the Lantern Festival, it is a corrupt custom, as if insulting the lintel. Therefore, there will be a custom of "good women have fat and do not look at the lamp", in other words, there is no rich lady to be seen that day. In a certain situation, it is easy for bad people to assassinate the rich lady, and it is easy to be exploited by others.
brief summary
For the ancestors to leave these words to the descendants, at that time, there was indeed a reason for their existence. But in today's society, it is not very suitable for today, and the criteria for judging rich families will not be limited to physical condition. It also requires whether the family is working together and whether they have a wise mind.
These things have become distant times, and they have become the "standard" for others to judge good men and women, of course, not all. But these rules are not recognized by the world, the new era for female friends, there is no need for so many constraints, shopping on the street is OK. Also using the past set of standards to measure women is really disgraceful and not worth advocating.
