Which Women’s Teeth Are Thought to Bring Good Fortune to Their Husbands?

In a QQ group, a student once shared an image listing 10 traits of a "good wife" that, taken together, resembled a female Zhu Bajie; everyone had a good laugh, joking about who would marry someone like that. The mood was lively... The students kept asking which facial features indicate a good wife. Today, I'll share the answers.

In the past, when wealthy families arranged marriages, they would host gatherings with relatives and friends, enjoying food and conversation. Accounts in texts and oral tradition often emphasized observing demeanor and behavior; during these occasions, the fortune-teller would also look for traits suggesting the prospective spouse would be supportive. Why observe during meals? There’s a practical reason: the first trait of a good wife involves an inner feature—the teeth—which are hard to see unless the mouth is open.

The first trait is closely set teeth that angle slightly inward. That’s why fortune-tellers prefer to observe during meals or tea—it feels natural and unobtrusive. Gentlemen, once you know this, don’t stare; stay natural and composed!

The second trait also involves the teeth but can be seen from the outside: broad, well-developed molars that make the cheeks look fuller, balancing inner and outer features. Even a small mouth is fine—a small mouth can still hold great potential. This suggests that the currently popular "V-shaped" face isn’t necessarily a sign of a good wife, and some very slender face shapes are best avoided.

The third trait is the "Heavenly Support" feature—like Lenin's—a prominent, slightly upturned chin. If a woman has this chin shape, she is likely to be a supportive partner.

Of course, many people find their wives very supportive even without the traits above, or without them being prominent. There are many ways to gauge whether someone is a good partner, including BaZi, physical appearance, and more, which I’ll share another time.
