Why do people have dimples

There are all kinds of people in the world, and their appearances are all different. We will find that some people around us have a pair of deep dimples when they smile, which is very sweet and cute, while most people do not have dimples. Are you curious why some people have dimples? This may have a lot to do with genetics, and of course there are other factors. So today I will tell you why people have dimples.

1. Legend about dimples

Legend has it that the origin of dimples is like this: it is said that after a person dies, he passes through the gates of hell and goes to the Yellow Springs Road, where there are many flowers but no leaves blooming on the road. The flowers and leaves will never see each other again, and they will miss each other and cherish each other forever. At the end of the road there is a river called Wangchuan River, and there is a Naihe Bridge on the river. There was a woman named Meng Po waiting there, handing a bowl of Meng Po soup to every passerby. Anyone who drank the Meng Po soup would forget all the ties of this life and enter the six realms without any worries, either as an immortal, a human, or an animal. Meng Po soup is also known as the love water. Once you drink it, you will forget your past and present lives. All the love, hate, and vengeance of a lifetime, all the ups and downs, gains and losses, are all forgotten completely with this bowl of Meng Po soup. The people you care about in this life and the people you hate in this life will not recognize each other in the next life. However, there were some people who were unwilling to drink Meng Po soup for various reasons, and Meng Po had no choice but to agree to them. But there was a mark on these people, and that mark was dimples on their faces. Such a person must jump into the Forgetful River, suffer the torture of being drowned and burned by fire, and wait for thousands of years before being reincarnated. After reincarnation, he will carry the memory of the previous life and the dimple to look for his lover in the previous life.

2. The formation of dimples

1. Dimples are formed by muscle movement beneath the skin. Most of the muscles in the human body are firmly attached to the bones by tendon fibers, such as the chest muscles and lower limb muscles. The facial expression muscles are an exception. They are directly attached to the facial skin. When the facial expression muscles contract, they pull the facial skin, causing various wrinkles to appear on the face, producing expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. The two dimples on a smiling face are formed by the relative movement of the facial skin and facial expression muscles such as the zygomatic muscles and the zygomatic muscles. 2. Not everyone will have dimples on their face when they smile. Whether you can have dimples depends on the development of your facial muscles.
