In the evening of summer, an old Chinese medicine doctor and I sat chatting by the river with gentle breeze. Suddenly, the old man stared at my face for a while without making a sound. I felt a little guilty when he looked at me, and asked: "Old man, are you seeing something when you pay so much attention to my face?"
The old man smiled and said, "When I was a primary school doctor, my teacher told me over and over again, 'The level of a person's heart depends on his eyes; the length of his life depends on his face.' After being a doctor for a lifetime, I have developed a habit. Haha, when I am with people, I always want to take a few more glances at their faces."
I said: "Old people, they all know that the eyes are the windows to the soul. I can understand this first sentence, but when it comes to 'life span depends on the face,' I am a little confused. How can a person's life span be written on his face?"
The old man said: "The face is small and the world is big. When looking at the face, in fact, I only look at two places on the face, one is between the eyebrows and the other is around the mouth. If a person is always worried, depressed, overthinking, doubtful and indecisive, look Without the hope of life and the beauty of life, deep "eight" lines will inevitably form between the eyebrows. The "eight" lines are caused by squeezing and distortion and belong to yin. If the yin energy is too strong, it will be difficult to feel happy and it will accumulate in the organs; If a person is trapped in a vicious cycle of mutual destruction between the heart and the disease, how can he have longevity? The "eight" lines between the eyebrows are actually the knife that cuts off life. Therefore, my teacher has said to me more than once, 'Frowning the brows will inevitably shorten your life'! "
The old man's words made me secretly shocked. The 'eight' lines between the eyebrows that I usually don't pay much attention to actually contain such great knowledge. I couldn't help but be driven by curiosity, and then asked: "What can you see on the lips?"
The old man said: "If a person often laughs and is overflowing with joy in his heart, he will inevitably raise the corners of his mouth, forming a small 'bracket' around his mouth; if a person is hearty and cheerful, often laughing, and his teeth are often exposed to the sun, then this 'bracket' will be even more curved, like two opposite half-moons, set on the cheek, with a bright and shining look. From the reason of its formation, we can It can be seen that the brackets are actually the reflection of comfort and spiritual power, and they are of course yang; because the brackets are on both sides of the mouth, they also symbolize the balance of yin and yang. Therefore, they enclose the health of the body, the spiritual clarity, the vitality of life, the leisurely and joyful mood, and the hope for endless life. Do you think a person in such a life and mental state can live a long and healthy life? ”
Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. I feel so happy. It turns out that our faces really reveal important information such as our mentality, vicissitudes of life, and life status. Therefore, we often look in the mirror to see if the signs on our face are increasing or deepening: are they the "eight" lines between the eyebrows or the "brackets" around the mouth?
