Laughter is an expression of a psychological state. Generally speaking, laughter is more used to express happiness and joy, and is expressed through facial muscle movements.

Scientists point out that humans laugh before they learn to speak, and the purpose of laughter is to unite or laugh at others.

Humans are also the only animals known to smile on Earth, and showing teeth is a form of provocation and intimidation to other mammals. The meaning of laughter

Baby Laughter Scientists have discovered that even babies who are deaf or blind can laugh from their throats before they can speak at about four months of age. At first, only babies who know how to recognize their mother (or feeder) will know how to laugh, because seeing their mother (feeder) makes the baby happy. Then any trusted or familiar person will make the baby laugh. At this time, the baby will only giggle, not laugh.

There are many kinds of laughter among humans, including grunts, burps, coughs, snores, hehes, haha, and even sounds similar to bird calls. Science believes that different laughter represents different meanings, so there are classifications of laughter.

When a woman is talking to a strange man, if she only laughs "hahaha", it means that she lacks interest in him. And when a woman laughs more, it means she is interested in him. The strongest sign that a woman is interested in a man is that her laughter and his words coincide with each other.

In addition to expressing happy feelings, laughter is also the main way to conceal true emotions. For example, when humans living in a group are psychologically attacked by their own kind, it will be detrimental to themselves if the victim cannot reverse it. If he is in a situation, he will use laughter to cover up the atmosphere and emotions that are unfavorable to him; when some humans do things that are unfavorable to the group/himself, they will suppress the uneasiness/guilt that makes them feel through the Dopaan produced by laughter.

Those who smile often will always have hope. Because a person's smile is his sincere messenger, and his smile can illuminate everyone who sees him. There is such a person. God made him ugly and only 1.53 meters tall. He only started selling insurance when he was in his thirties or forties. During the six months he worked as an insurance salesman, he did not sell a single policy for his company. He had no money to rent, so he slept on a park bench; he had no money to eat, so he ate leftovers meant for homeless people; he had no money to take a car, so he had to walk to where he wanted to go. While God gave him suffering, he also gave him another kind of wealth, which is confidence and optimism. He never thought he was a failure, at least on the surface no one thought he was a failure. Whenever he "gets up" from the park bench in the early morning, he smiles at everyone he meets, whether the other person cares or returns his smile, he doesn't care, and his smile is always so heartfelt and sincere, look at I went up so energetic and confident. Finally one day, a rich man who often went to the park became interested in his smile. The rich man didn't understand how a man who didn't have enough to eat could always be so happy. So the rich man offered to treat him to a good meal, but he refused. He asked the rich man to buy his insurance, and thus he had his first performance.

The rich man who was delighted by surprise introduced him to many friends in shopping malls, and his confidence and smile infected more and more people.

He is Hara Ippei, the insurance salesman who has signed the largest policy amount in Japanese history. His smile is called "the most confident smile in Japan." Yuan Yiping said: There are millions of ways to success. Smile and confidence are just one way to help you achieve success, but they are also indispensable ways. This story tells us that if we give ourselves confidence and give others a smile, success will gradually move closer to us.

Smiling can not only show your self-confidence , also conveys an optimistic and positive attitude, which can show a person's thoughts, character and feelings. Smiles are contagious. One smile often brings another smile, allowing both parties to communicate and build friendship and rapport. In this way, relationships between people may be much simpler and easier.

A person who smiles often is not necessarily a rich person in material terms, but he or she must be a rich person in spirit, optimistic, open-minded, kind and generous, which is reflected in a positive attitude towards life.

A famous example is the beacon fire play on the princes: Bao Si, the favorite concubine of King Zhou You, did not like to laugh, at the suggestion of Guo Shifu. King Zhou You ordered people to light the beacon fire on Lishan Mountain to mark the attack of Xirong and send an alarm to the capital. As a result, all the princes came to support with their troops and saw the peace and order in Lishan Mountain. Only then did they realize that they had been teased. Bao Si couldn't help laughing when she saw the anxious princes and soldiers. Later, Xirong really attacked Fenghao, the capital of Zhou Dynasty. When King Zhou You lit the beacon again, no one paid attention. As a result, this complimentary smile was related to the survival of Zhou Dynasty.

There is such an idiom story in "Mencius: King Hui of Liang": Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, which is about Mencius using the battle between two armies as a metaphor to the warlike King Hui of Liang. It is said that as soon as the war drums were beaten, when the weapons met, there were soldiers abandoning their helmets and armor and dragging their weapons and running away. Some people stopped after running fifty steps, and some stopped after running a hundred steps. The man who ran fifty steps laughed at the man who ran a hundred steps and was afraid of death, but he forgot that although he could not escape as far as others, he still escaped.

In order to win the favor of his imperial concubine, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent people to transport lychees back from the south thousands of miles away on a thousand-mile horse.
