As the saying goes: "A woman with high cheekbones can kill her husband without a knife." The book of physiognomy says: "A woman with high cheekbones is destined to be harmful to her husband and children." So, is this theory reasonable? This saying has been passed down from ancient times, and many fortune tellers have summarized it through long-term practical experience. It had some practical significance in ancient times. However, with the rapid development of modern society and changes in the era, this theory has largely lost its original meaning. Below, we will analyze this theory from both ancient and modern perspectives. Since the methods of physiognomy for men and women differ, here we introduce the physiognomy of women's cheekbones (for reference only).
Cheekbones represent power. In the art of physiognomy, cheekbones symbolize a person's desire for power, control, and leadership. Generally speaking, people with high cheekbones tend to have stronger desires for power and possession than those with low cheekbones. The higher the cheekbones, the more intense these tendencies become. If the cheekbones are high and prominent, and they coordinate well with other facial features, it indicates that one can hold an official position and have authority.
1. Ancient Times
In the development of human society, the matriarchal society existed for a short period, while most of the time was patriarchal, where men were the dominant figures and women were considered as subordinates. Especially in China, Confucianism ruled for thousands of years, and there has always been a notion of male superiority and female inferiority. In ancient society, in most families, men were responsible for external affairs while women managed internal matters. Men were the pillars of family life, while women engaged in housework and did not usually work outside or earn income. Women relied on their husbands and sons for survival. Women with high cheekbones have strong desires for possessions and spouses, and they want to control the family. They manage money, property, and family members at home, wanting to be in charge, but without an income source, they would pressure men to earn more. If the husband is capable, these desires can be easily satisfied. However, if the husband is incapable, these desires cannot be fulfilled, leading to psychological imbalance over time. The result is usually two scenarios: one is to vent frustration within the family, targeting the husband, children, or in-laws; the other is to go out and find ways to obtain what they need. At that time, women had few job opportunities, so they might resort to infidelity, selling themselves. Either way, it brings misfortune to the family, hence the saying that "a woman with high cheekbones harms her husband and children."
2. Modern Times
In modern society, with the progress of the times and social development, it has become common for women to work outside the home. Women are no longer mere subordinates of men. Most women have their own careers, earning their own income and obtaining what they want. Women with high cheekbones can demonstrate their talents in the workplace, becoming leaders who command others and control manpower, resources, and finances, satisfying their desires for control and power. There is no need to seek psychological balance within the family. Therefore, in modern society, women with high cheekbones are not necessarily harmful to their husbands and children, but rather often belong to career-oriented women. Many successful women in various fields usually have high cheekbones. However, it should be noted that it is difficult to balance career and family. When a woman excels in her career, she may neglect her marriage and family, leading to some family conflicts. Thus, in certain situations, women with high cheekbones may still be detrimental to their marriage and family. If a woman is born with high cheekbones, she should not expect too much from her marriage and family. Instead, she should focus her energy on her career. When choosing a partner, it is better to select relatively ordinary men, who are less likely to have strong desires for power and can contribute more to the family. A division where the woman works outside and the man stays at home is also a good option. Career-oriented women with high cheekbones should avoid choosing partners with high eyebrows, high and straight noses, or sharp nose tips, as such men usually have strong self-esteem, a proud personality, and do not like being controlled. Marrying such men would inevitably lead to arguments, truly resulting in "harming the husband and children."
Below are some explanations about the physiognomy of women's cheekbones for your reference:
1. A woman with good cheekbone structure helps her husband and manages the family's financial affairs, co-building a business with her spouse;
2. In the case of cheekbones, bone represents yang, and flesh represents yin. For men, slightly protruding cheekbones are not a problem, but for women, excessively high and prominent cheekbones are not auspicious, indicating harm to the husband and children. If the face is small and the cheekbones are high, the situation is particularly severe;
3. A woman's cheekbones should be round, elegant, and hidden, with bones covered by flesh. If the woman has clear eyes, bright eyes, and a refined appearance, she is likely to be a virtuous wife and mother, gentle and kind, bringing prosperity and blessings to the family;
4. A woman with high cheekbones and no flesh is prone to losing her husband early. If the navel is also concave, the harm is even more severe. If the woman has clear eyes and bright eyes, the negative effects are reduced;
5. A woman with high cheekbones, high forehead, and high nose is known as a "three-power" type, indicating a tendency to harm the husband. If the cheekbones are high and lack flesh, the condition becomes more serious. If she also has a "flower-aura," it suggests multiple husbands and greed for pleasure;
6. If the cheekbones are pointed and the forehead is high, it indicates a stubborn and destructive personality, laborious, lonely, and childless;
7. The nose represents the dragon, and the cheekbones represent the tiger. High cheekbones and low nose indicate "tiger overpowering dragon." Without a supervisor, one is likely to be bullied by subordinates. For women, this suggests that the husband is less capable than herself, requiring her to take care of the family, leading to an unhappy marriage;
8. A woman with low and sunken cheekbones lacks the ability to support her husband;
9. A woman with sagging cheekbones is prone to gynecological diseases;
10. A woman with high cheekbones is said to seize the husband's authority. If the forehead is also high, it indicates harm to the husband, an unhappy marriage. If the cheekbones are high and lack eyebrows, it suggests difficulty in having children;
11. A woman without cheekbones or cheeks is considered to have a "concubine destiny." If the nose is small, the lips are pointed, and the chin is pointed, the prediction is more accurate. Such a woman does not bring prosperity to her husband's family and has difficulty in having children;
12. A woman with high cheekbones will see her husband pass away first. If the cheekbones are high and lack flesh, and her voice is broken, it indicates harm to the husband and remarriage;
13. A woman with consistently rosy and red cheeks is called a "flower-aura face," suggesting a greedy and immoral character, lacking chastity. If the nose is also rosy and red, it indicates that the woman is a courtesan;
14. A woman with high cheekbones and no flesh, along with a narrow nose, tends to interfere with her husband's authority, often causing unnecessary quarrels, leading to an unhappy marriage.
