Why Is the Ox Represented by the Ugly? Old Saying: “Cows Fear the Yin and Yang Horns, and People Fear Being Too Skinny” – What Does It Mean?

The concept of “two sharp ends” refers to having a narrow forehead and jawline, resembling the shape of a spindle. In traditional Chinese culture, it is believed that a full forehead and a rounder jawline symbolize good fortune (“天庭饱满,地阁方圆”). If both the额头 (forehead) and下巴 (chin) are sharp and narrow, it signifies an unfortunate fate in both early life and old age.

In rural areas, people often describe someone as “prosperous” when they have a full-faced appearance with abundant flesh, symbolizing good fortune and abundance。 Therefore, the term “two sharp ends” implies an unlucky fate, leading to the saying ” Cows fear yin yang horses, people fear two sharp ends。
