In this proverb, "dimple" means cute, and "long neck mole" means "bitter mole". The whole sentence generally means that there is a kind of person who is very lovable and has rough feelings. Although they have been searching for half their lives, they are in tears. Once they find true love, they can grow old together.
Although the statements of "dimple" and "mole on the neck" are regarded as "signs" that a bitter person can die a natural death, they are undoubtedly too arbitrary and unreliable, and the superficial meaning of this statement cannot stand logical scrutiny. However, what Yan Xiaoer wants to say is that our Chinese proverb has never expressed its superficial meaning. As descendants of the Chinese people, we should consider its meaning.
In Yan Xiaoer's view, this sentence tells us two things:
First, sweet people tend to provoke peach blossoms, and in peach blossoms, it is inevitable to encounter some rotten peach blossoms.
Second, eternal love is often not so easy to get. Before finding the right person, most of us will look for it and cry.
Therefore, good-looking friends, don't give up, give up looking for the right person for their "rotten peach blossom". In this world, "good marriages" are always rare.
At the same time, even if you are bitter, you should remember long-lasting love. People who take their feelings seriously will always meet the right person when they stumble and grow up. At least we should be optimistic about our love.
It is worth mentioning that the philosophy in this proverb is not only worthy of our appreciation, but also has interesting legends behind it. Let's analyze the proverbs in detail first, and then talk about the legends behind them.
1, "Dimple" in "Face with Dimple and Mole on Neck" and its metaphor "Face with Dimple and Mole on Neck, Looking for Tears for Half a Life" belong to the description of human appearance characteristics.
The so-called "dimple" is actually a metaphor, which refers to two small dimples in the corners of people's mouths when they are laughing, and these small dimples are like small round pits that the ancients deliberately left in the fermentation container for the convenience of scooping wine.
The smell of wine makes people intoxicated, and the dimples on people's faces make people "haggard for Iraq."
Or put it this way, people with dimples on their faces often give people a lovely and pleasing feeling.
Here, in Yan Xiaoer's view, the so-called "dimples" refer more to people with pleasing appearance and personality.
2. "Neck long nevus" and "bitter nevus" in Lao Guo Xingzong We can find relevant records about "neck long nevus" in Lao Guo Xingzong in Tang Dynasty.
Lao Guo Xing Zong, written by Zhang Guo in the Tang Dynasty, is a masterpiece that records the numerology of the stars in our country. It has the resounding name of "When studying heaven and man, there must be good news and bad news".
Although some of the remarks in it are almost unconstrained at first glance, we can still find its profound "humanistic heritage" by chewing carefully and putting aside the unknowable "mystery" inside. In addition, this book records the theories of many famous people, and also records the ancient people's research on astronomical phenomena, which can help us to study ancient astrology very well and is very precious.
Don't underestimate the ancient people's study of astronomical phenomena. After all, the ancients invented astronomical tools such as planetarium by observing astronomical phenomena, and one of the sayings of "long neck mole" was recorded in Lao Guo Xingzong.
According to the collected data, the so-called "bitter mole" generally refers to the mole within 3 cm behind the neck, because the mole is located in Kun. According to Guo Xingzong, this means that people with this kind of mole are often unhappy in love at first, but after some tossing, once they find true love, they can grow old together.
Of course, love can't be controlled by a mole, and Yan Xiaoer doesn't believe that the so-called "bitter mole" really means that love is not smooth, but in the end you can get "true love".
Yan Xiaoer believes that "everything depends on human effort."
However, from the interpretation of "bitter mole", what Yan Xiaoer saw was not "the relationship between face and fate", but actually the comfort of the ancients to "bitter people".
People who fall into bitter feelings are sad and hard, sincerely pay wrong, and even lose hope in life. If a person is trapped by rotten peach blossoms and suddenly hears the phrase "dimples and moles on his face, tears all his life", will he regain the hope of pursuing what he loves? The answer is self-evident.
3. Behind the sentence "There are dimples and moles on your face, and you will find tears all your life", there is actually an exhortation from your ancestors. What's more, after your ancestors have experienced too much, convey some "positive and optimistic" attitudes towards life to people in a mysterious or humorous way.
As the saying goes, "You have dimples on your face and moles on your neck, and you will find tears all your life." What our ancestors want to tell us is not only to let the world cherish the sincerity of "bitter people", but also to warn them not to give up seeking true love.
4, written at the end: the "legend" about bitter moles tells the meaning of proverbs. Let's take a look at the legend related to "bitter mole".
In China folklore, people drink Meng Po Tang on Naihe Bridge after death. After drinking Meng Po Tang, people will forget everything they experienced before their death and then be reincarnated.
But not everyone wants to drink Meng Po Tang, because they have people who don't want to forget anyway.
In order to make these people drink Meng Po Tang, Meng Po promised them to make a mark, and this mark is the mole on the back of the neck.
Here, even if this person is reborn again and loses the memory of his last life, because of the existence of this mole, he will look for the lover of his last life and continue this relationship.
This legend is very sad, but it also reflects the ancient people in China's praise of "true love":
Inside the story, as far as Meng Po is concerned, people's "true love" can touch "ghosts and gods". Beyond the story, the so-called "bitter mole" is actually telling everyone. People who don't have bitter moles should cherish those who really care about you, and those who have bitter moles should also manage their love well and don't be defeated by immediate difficulties.
Is it really important to have a mole? The important thing is, is there a sincere heart? What do you think?
