Why is there a saying that left eye twitching brings fortune? What should I pay attention to when my left eyelid twitches?

In life, our eyelids twitch from time to time, sometimes the left eyelid twitches, sometimes the right eyelid twitches. How do we explain this phenomenon? Is it true that “left eye twitching is good luck, right eye twitching is bad luck”? What should you pay attention to if a man’s left eyelid twitches? What is the folk saying? Watch this issue of the physiognomy column.

1. Some people think that eyelid twitching is not a big deal. There is a saying among the people that "left eye twitching brings wealth, right eye twitching brings disaster", so they pay less attention to left eye twitching, which results in delaying the treatment of the disease.

2. Some people are too sensitive and go for treatment immediately when their eyelids twitch. Expecting quick results and immediate recovery, acting rashly and without considering the consequences. As a result, a common disease that was easily cured turned into an extremely difficult disease to cure.

3. Confusing or uncertain symptoms. Some people mistakenly treat eyelid twitching as spasm, and some even treat eyelid twitching caused by the sequelae of facial paralysis as spasm. My eyes were still twitching, as if someone had stuffed a live fish into my eyelids. I must have done something to let the Party and the people down today, which is why I am being punished like this?

In ancient times, people had already discovered the phenomenon of "left eye twitching, right eye twitching". The Chinese have always believed that two things that are born from each other must be one yin and one yang, one good and one bad, so they naturally gave these two phenomena the meaning of "jumping for wealth and jumping for disaster." As for whether it is the left eye twitching that means wealth or the right eye twitching? In fact, this is not a random combination! According to the requirements of couplets, the upper line is "left eye", the lower line is "right eye" (first left then right!), and the last word of the lower line is one tone. In “跳财” and “跳惧”, “惧” is pronounced the same as the other two, so the saying becomes: the left eye twitches for wealth, the right eye twitches for disaster.

So how did it spread? Let us imagine again: in a village, someone made up this jingle. He met 100 people with twitching eyelids and told them this jingle. If 50 people have it fulfilled, and 50 people have not. And one of these 100 people met the person with eyelid twitching, so he said this sentence to him again. If this person's words came true, he would firmly believe them; even if they did not come true, he would have remembered them. Moreover, a person's eyelid twitching will definitely not happen only once in his life. If it doesn't "come true" this time, it may "come true" the next time (in fact, it's just a coincidence). As long as it comes true once out of ten times, everyone will definitely believe it - the Chinese have always preferred to believe in ghosts and gods rather than not.

Today, this seemingly magical proverb is still "rejuvenating" in modern society. Countless people always think of this saying when they are so tired that their eyelids twitch, and they always believe it - it's purely a psychological effect.

Experts believe that eyelid twitching can be divided into two types: "physiological" and "pathological", and the most common one in life is physiological. Well, let’s continue to talk about what causes these two types of beating?

"Physiological" eyelid twitching: It is likely to occur when you overuse your eyes or are tired, too mentally stressed, under too much pressure, or smoke or drink too much. The attack lasts for a short time (usually a few seconds) and the degree of twitching is not serious.

"Pathological" eyelid twitching: It can be caused by refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc.), foreign bodies in the eye, trichiasis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. The attacks are more frequent, last longer, and the amplitude of the twitching is large. Some people will even have their eyebrows, forehead, corners of the mouth, or even half of the face twitching. In particular, eyelid twitching caused by facial muscle spasm is 99% due to compression and stimulation of the facial nerve that controls the eyelid muscle movement by abnormal blood vessels in the skull, and 1% is caused by stimulation of the facial nerve by intracranial tumors and arachnoid adhesions. Therefore, it is also considered a sign of intracranial disease.

The above is an introduction on why it is said that left eye twitching means wealth and what to pay attention to when the left eyelid twitches. For more content, please pay attention to the physiognomy section of the Dream Interpreter website.
