What kind of woman can't be the principal wife?

A man’s first wife, commonly known as the principal wife, as opposed to a concubine. Chinese feudal society practiced monogamy and polygamy. The principal wife is a man's only legal wife. The children born to her are the legitimate descendants and have the right of inheritance. Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? The seven emotions and six desires are normal for human beings. There have been countless love stories since ancient times. The story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun in "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" is a household name. However, according to legend, after Sima Xiangru became successful, he still had the idea of ​​taking a concubine. Wenjun wrote a poem "Fu on White Hair" for this, which made Xiangru feel ashamed and gave up the idea of ​​taking a concubine. From then on, the two lived together until old age, and their story of never leaving each other became a beautiful one in history. Sima Xiangru is truly a real man. But many times emotions cannot be controlled by reason. It is said that the power of love is great, it can make people dizzy and unable to control themselves. In ancient times, it was very common to have three wives and four concubines. Some of them were related to emotional affairs, while others had nothing to do with emotions. No matter what the situation was, there was a huge difference in the status of wives and concubines.

In an era when the custom of having wives and concubines was prevalent, what kind of face did the ancients think of a "concubine"? The ancients had different views on the appearance of women: "A woman with a sharp bone structure, a dignified look, dignified and less charming, broad features, quick movements like running water, and a voice like jade in a rough stone, has the appearance of a concubine. A woman with a dignified features, an upright character, a gentle look, and an extraordinary vision has the appearance of a lady." However, they believed that a woman with the following facial features would have difficulty becoming a principal wife, and could only be a second wife or a concubine.

1. Pointy and thin chin

The chin generally represents the later years. The chin should be thick and not pointed. A thick chin indicates a prosperous family and endless blessings and fortune in old age. If the chin is pointed and thin, it usually indicates a life of wandering, with many ups and downs in life; it is even more difficult for women to settle down at home, and there will be harm among relatives; the chin represents the family, and a woman with such a chin will find it difficult to be the principal wife, and is more suitable to be a concubine or a successor wife.

2. People with pointed noses, low and flat nose bridges, or protruding transverse bones on the noses

The nose is the palace of wealth. It is used to observe a person’s financial status. For women, it is more important for them to represent their husband. Those with high and prominent noses will be prosperous and have many wives. A woman with a nose tip as sharp as a sword will have difficulty supporting her husband and raising children, let alone bringing success to her husband. A book says: "A woman with a small nose and low tip cannot be the main wife;" "Even if she has clothes and food, she will not be the main wife." Women with low and flat noses are usually indecisive, short-sighted, and easily satisfied. Moreover, they have too many emotions and are easily manipulated by them. If there is a protruding transverse bone on the nose, although the person is subjectively competitive, his life is inevitably a bit tough, and it will be difficult for the couple to live together until old age. People with this appearance will often be forced to become a concubine or a side room.

3. Those with oval face shaped like lotus

A melon-seed face shaped like a lotus with no chin usually indicates that the person is heartless and unloyal. No matter how beautiful the person is, he or she can still lament the fate of a short-lived beauty. A good face must be accompanied by a good chin to achieve a happy marriage. Otherwise, it will be difficult to be favored by Tianxi and Hongluan, and there will be a lack of family warmth. Therefore, it is better to be a concubine or a mistress to avoid being alone.

4. Eyes like dew, with infinite charm

A noble woman does not need to be coquettish. A dignified and upright woman will naturally find a good husband, and the couple will love each other and live together until the end of their lives. If one does not have a dignified manner but only a charming appearance, it will be difficult for him to be accepted into a noble family, difficult to be married off with a formal matchmaker, and he can only be a concubine. Those with eyes full of dew and infinite charm can only enjoy wealth and honor, but cannot enjoy the happiness of family. Therefore, they can only be lovers or concubines, but cannot become the main wife.

5. Bound feet without flesh

The ancients attached great importance to feet: "Feet support the whole body and move all the organs below. They are the measure of the earth and the image of the earth." If a woman has splayed feet and her feet are small, weak and boneless, she will not be the principal wife. Even if she is the principal wife, she may be abandoned. If the soles of your feet are flat and there is no bridge, it will be difficult to enter the main room.

6. Heavy voice and difficult speech

Sound is the root of the heart, and tone is the residue of voice. "A voice that is even and sound without breaks indicates wealth and honor. A woman's voice should be clear and light, and her breath should be steady but not hurried, which will bring honor and prosperity to her husband. If it is high at first and then low, it will harm her husband and cause him to be promiscuous; if it is low at first and then high, it will also harm her husband and she must be independent. If it is heavy and turbid and resonates far away, it will harm her husband frequently; if it is heavy and turbid and has a short voice, she will be poor all her life." A woman's voice should be clear, sounding, and harmonious, which will bring prosperity to her husband and benefit her children. If the speech is not fluent, and the person often hesitates to speak, and his words are repeated, then he is likely to be a mistress. Those with overly feminine voices are likely to be restless, indifferent to marriage, and willing to be someone's mistress rather than the wife. This is also a sign of being a mistress.
