Is appearance really given by parents?

There is a strange concept in the world today: "Appearance is given by parents, so it is absurd to predict fate based on appearance? How you look is not determined by your own will, what can you do?"

I believe the source of this statement should be the ancient saying: "Your body and hair are given by your parents." This statement is not wrong. However, your body and hair are given by your parents, which does not mean that your appearance can be entirely attributed to your parents. This is an extremely irresponsible idea.

Modern genetics has proven that offspring's appearance is inherited from their parents, and human genetic genes control a person's life. In fact, a person's congenital development is directly influenced by their parents, including their parents' genes. Of course, this inheritance comes from two points. One is the physiological condition at birth, including facial conditions, and the other is the influence of early personality. The imitation ability of young children is very strong. In the early stages of development, the parents' behavior, emotional qualities and all aspects become models for children to learn as they grow.

Therefore, we usually find that children are most like their parents, and then after adolescence, the differences in appearance between them and their parents begin to become more apparent as time goes by.

So, I believe that your appearance from birth to early years is given by your parents, but your appearance after puberty to maturity is your own responsibility.

In my articles, I used psychology to analyze the changes in facial features during growth, with the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth being the most obvious. Their specific shapes are formed by a person's emotional habits over the years.

Simply put, changes in emotions affect changes in facial features. People who laugh well have high eyebrows and upturned corners of the mouth, people who cry well have low eyebrows and drooping corners of the mouth, people who talk well have powerful mouths, people who are taciturn have small and weak mouths, people who extrovert their emotions have rich lines on their faces, and people who are cunning have simple lines on their faces.

Cheerful people have a broad forehead, depressed people have a narrow forehead, open-minded people have big and bright eyes, mean people have small and dull eyes. A generous person has a round and fleshy face, while a mean person has a bony face...

The above examples have proved that after adolescence when self-personality is formed, a person’s appearance is no longer determined by his parents, but is developed by himself.

Early emotions are indeed controlled by parents, but once they enter society and have independent thoughts and personalities, this innate influence gradually disappears. "If the father is a hero, the son will be a hero; if the father is hardworking, the son will be excellent." This theory has long been untenable in modern times. The traditional family education in ancient times was very strict. While being influenced by their parents, young children began to receive enlightenment education in "The Return of the Disciples", "Three Character Classic" and various moral norms. Therefore, several generations of fathers and sons have common behavior patterns under moral norms.

Nowadays, most only children are spoiled, and they become arrogant and lazy, behave eccentrically, and say and do reckless things. Although it is also due to the parents' negligence and lack of early education, it is not inherited from the parents.

Of course, many friends still have questions. Eyebrows, eyes and mouth are acquired, but face shape, nose shape and ears are always congenital and inherited. No!

Here I will further analyze the impact of physiology on facial features.

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the human body's organizational structure is divided into the five elements system based on the performance and characteristics of the internal organs and tissues, thus forming a system centered on the five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys), coordinated with the six external organs (gall bladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner), presiding over the five bodies (tendons, veins, flesh, skin, fur, and bones), opening up the five senses (eyes, tongue, mouth, nose, and ears), and manifesting itself on the body surface (nails, face, lips, fur, and hair).

From this we can see that the five limbs, five senses, and body surface will be directly affected by the five internal organs, and the condition of the five internal organs is affected by years of diet, daily life and various living habits. So, what kind of diet you eat and what kind of life patterns you have are all derived from your personal preferences, interests, and thoughts and behaviors generated by your interests.

For example, the kidneys control the bones, store essence, produce marrow, and connect to the brain. Its physiological function is actually an important component of the kidney's essence in promoting the growth and development of the body.

If there is a problem with the human kidneys, the essence will be damaged, which will lead to qi deficiency and bone withering. The first is indulging in alcohol and sex, with unfocused eyes, cloudy, blurred, dull and powerless; the second is too many distracting thoughts, including depression, sensitivity, and excessive calculations. The eyebrows are tightly furrowed, the eyes are dull, and the eyelids are weak and drooping, and the cheeks are sunken and the bones are exposed.

Therefore, people with droopy eyes are calculating and mean. People with unfocused and scattered eyes are greedy and lustful. They have no energy to create a career, so their career will be restricted.

For example, people with hot tempers, commonly known as "liver fire", have thick hair and beards. If they are too hot, the hair will grow in the opposite direction and be messy. Therefore, by observing the condition of their eyebrows, you can determine whether this person is violent and has a twisted mind.

The body surface is controlled by the internal organs, the internal organs are controlled by life, and life is controlled by all factors determined by you. Similarly, the length of the face, the height of the nose, the width of the cheekbones, the condition of the hair, the dryness and thickness of the cheeks, the height of the ears, these are not all inherited, not all given by your parents, but are mostly determined by your own long-term lifestyle habits.

If parents have short eyebrows, will their children definitely have short eyebrows? If parents have no flesh on their faces, does that mean their children’s faces will be exposed? If parents have flat noses, will their children definitely have flat noses too? You can verify that children's facial features are not necessarily the same as their parents'. Newborns do not have high nose bridges, pointed noses, or protruding nostrils. These are mostly acquired by themselves during the growth process.

Don't look at numerology and physiognomy with strange eyes. Don't blame the heavens, the earth, or your parents for your appearance. Don't think that the way you look is due to your parents and has nothing to do with you.
