What is the basis of the sentence "the left eye jumps over wealth and the right eye jumps over disaster"?

China has a long cultural history. As early as more than two thousand years ago, there was a cultural grand occasion of "a hundred schools of thought contend". The ideological confrontation between sages and sages not only promoted the social development at that time, but also left a valuable ideological and cultural heritage for future generations. China was dominated by agriculture in ancient times, and the connotation of Chinese culture has been enriched in the long-term production and life practice. Proverbs are spoken sentences created by working people, which mostly reflect people's life experiences and wishes and are deeply loved by the people.

I believe many people have heard of the phrase "the left eye jumps for money, the right eye jumps for disaster", and the ancients are even more convinced. It also has other sayings, such as "jumping with the left eye is happy, jumping with the right eye is evil", "jumping with the left is happy, jumping with the right is sad" and "jumping with the left is hair and jumping with the right is killing". Sometimes, when the eyelids are beating, people will unconsciously think of this sentence. When the right eyelid beats, the mood will change. Expecting something good to happen, my left eyelid jumps and I have to live carefully all day. Then, where did the phrase "the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster" come from at the earliest? Is it allowed or not? Is there any basis to support it? Next, we look for the answer from the traditional culture of China.

China people's earliest concept of "left and right" came from the record of Pangu in the Five-Movement Calendar. According to the book, after Pangu opened the world, his left eye became the sun god, and his right eye became Chang 'e, hence the saying that "men are left and women are right".

In addition, in China's ancient philosophy, the theory of Yin and Yang was dominant, and everything in the world had two sides. When the theory of yin and yang is applied to the social field, there is a distinction between honor and inferiority. For example, monarch, father and husband represent the positive side, so their status is more noble, while ministers, sons and wives represent the negative side, so they are in a subordinate position. In the same way, the left and right sides are printed with Yang and Yin respectively, so people think that the left eyelid jump is good luck and the right eyelid jump is a big disaster.

Then why does it involve the eyes? It turns out that in the consciousness of the ancients, eyes are very similar organs, gathering the essence of the gods. People can foresee fortune through their eyes, and the beating of eyelids is often the will of the gods. This mysterious concept was very popular in ancient peasant society. At that time, due to the backward level of productivity, people's ability to resist natural disasters was limited, and their reverence for nature turned into universal worship of gods.

Of course, in different regions, the concept of "being left rich and suffering from the right" will have different forms of expression. For example, Ewenki people think that the upper eyelid jump will bring good luck, and the lower eyelid jump is an ominous sign; People in Xiuwu County, Henan Province believe that the object should also be divided into men and women. Men "jump left for treasure, jump right for disaster", while women are the opposite; Even in some places, it is considered that when the eyelids jump, it is necessary to analyze the good and bad luck in combination with the time. ...

Everyone has the nature of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and so do the ancients. So when people's eyelids beat and feel that something bad is going to happen, they will sum up a set of ways to avoid it. They think that as long as you put cushions and straw sticks on your eyes, you can avoid disaster.

As we all know today, this is actually just a psychological suggestion. Eyelid flutter may also be caused by physiological reasons or eye fatigue. With the progress of the times, people's ideas will change. Some concepts are difficult to judge simply by the standard of right or wrong. Whether "the left is rich and the right is evil" is accurate is just a matter of thought.
