Hands & Face Reading 相學

面相篇。頭相總論(2)Chinese face reading – reading head shape (2)

水鏡集。四卷。清。范騋撰

兩目近於天。水星近于地。故天取圓地取厚。

天不圓兮日月暗。地不厚兮無甘厚。

頭短者欲圓。頭長者欲方。

骨取豐而起。皮取厚而潤。

兩角骨起為卿相。天庭平滿定家豐。

天削者刑傷。地削者貧夭。

Continue with the last post

Both eyes have to be upright, stay sharp on the top section which stands for the sky level. Mouth has to be in the middle of the third section which is described as the ground level.  The forehead on the sky level is good to be full and roundish, which the ground level has to be in decent thickness.  

Sometimes, when the size of the head is relatively small, then it has to be round.  When the head is relatively long, then it has to be squarish.  

Bones need to be in reasonable size and shape, skin needs to be moist and rich.  

This would be a sign of inauspicious when forehead is not full and roundish, chin is not with a decent jawline, or short.  

面相篇。頭相總論 Chinese face reading – Reading head shape

水鏡集。四卷。清。范騋撰

頭者六陽之首。百骸之主。稟陰陽之氣肖天地之形。

受五行之資。為萬物之最靈者也。

頭象天;足象地;眼象日月;聲音象雷霆;血脈象江河;骨格象金石;

鼻象山嶽;眉象草木。

天欲高員。地欲廣厚。日月欲光明。雷霆欲遠震。江河欲潤。金石欲堅。

山欲峻而草木秀。此大槩(同概)也。 

In classic chinese face reading, the way they describe and represent usually relates with natural phenomenon.  This exactly reflects their way of life and the environment they lived in, such as the sun, the ground, wind, thunder, water and rivers etc.

Head, the highest point of the whole body, it’s the most superior part of the body.  It belongs to yang 陽.  The five elements in the nature affects the human body all the time and human happens to be the most clever species in the nature.  

Head relates to sky, limbs relate to the ground, eyes relate to moon and sun, the voice relates to thunder (make noises), blood circulation relates to rivers, bones relate to hard metal, nose relates to mountains and eyebrows relate to plants.  

It is a sign of auspicious when:

Sky has to be high, ground has to be thick, sun and moon have to be bright, thunder has to be loud, rivers has to be active, metal has to be hard and mountains has to be full of nicely grow plants and trees.  

These are all their expressions and how they feel. 

面相篇。三才三停論 Chinese face reading ~ Three sections on face

水鏡集。四卷。清。范騋撰

三才者

額為天。欲濶而圓。名曰有天者貴。

鼻為人。欲旺而齊。名曰有人者壽。

頦為地。欲方而闊。名曰有地者富。

三停者。髮際至印堂為上輔是。初生自山根至準頭為中府是。中主自人中至地閣為下輔。

末主自髮際至眉為上停。眉至準頭為中停。準頭至地閣為下停。

訣曰上停長老吉昌。中停長近君王。下停長少吉祥。

三停平等富貴榮顯。三停不均孤天貧賤。

The first step of Chinese face reading is start from observation of the face three sections.  In ancient times, people named it three levels; sky, human and earth.  

Sky which is the top section which is the forehead.  From the hairline to eyebrow.  The forehead is ideal to be broad and round, this is a sign for auspicious.

Human which is the middle section, the nose.  From the top of nose to tip of nose.  The shape of the nose has to be good, straight with decent colour.  This is a sign for longevity and wealthy.

Earth which is the lower section, our jawline.  From our philtrum till our jawline is the earth level.  The ideal shape of jawline is broad in squarish shape.  

The proportion of the three sections is good to be equal, not a particular section to be too long or too short.  This is a sign for non auspicious too.  

面相篇。出納宮 Face reading ~ mouth shape

水鏡集。四卷。清。范騋撰。清末掃葉山房刊本

出納官。口取四圍須要端厚唇紅。方正角弓開大合小乃為出納官成。

短促唇掀色青。齒露偏邪。骨肉相煎。

促者。口聚也。短者橫窄也。促短者並主孤也。

鬼眼相曰。口有三聚。

一曰𤠣口吹火。聚注令人無子。子立自身亡。

二曰羊口飲水聚注。令人孤寒好歌樂。而無衣糧。

三曰鵲口縮囊聚注。令孤寒牲寡親子。

另房唇掀者。口唇番蹇也。主孤尅。

闊而不正。虛詐不堪言

大言無信者。畧綽畧者即橫闊不牧也。主為人多奸猾。 

Mouth in Chinese face reading, is the organ for output.  Ideal shape is in decent red colour, thickness and right in the lower middle of the face. 

Not ideal status:

  • dark colour, relatively thin lips, showing teeth and teeth not in decent shape and straightness.
  • Shortened mouth, just like a draw string bag. This could be a sign for lonely elderly stage of life.

–  big month need to be in the right middle of the lower sector of the face.  If the month is not in the normal place, then this is not a good mouth shape.

福德宮。相貌 Fortune and Overall look

面相篇 : 神相水鏡集

福德者。在天倉牽連地閣。五星朝拱,平生福祿滔滔。天地相朝。德行須全。

五福頦圓額窄。須知苦在初年。額闊頣尖。迍否還從晚景。眉高目聳尤且平。平眉壓耳掀休言福德。

Fortune area on the face is the middle of the forehead.  It would be ideal if it is wide and flat, without any moles, wrinkles etc.  Forehead represents our early life, if it is relatively narrow, then it could be a slightly tougher period of life.  While our jaw line represents the later stage of life, when it is strong and wide, which means we can look forward for a relaxing and stable elderly life.

相貌者。先觀五嶽。次辨三停。盈滿此人富貴多榮。三停俱等。永保平生顯達。五嶽朝聳。官祿榮遷。行坐威嚴為人尊重。

額主初運。鼻管中年。地閣水星是為未主。若有魁陷斷為凶惡。

After we talked about the different areas on our face for different aspects reading, we have to conclude the whole face in general.  First of all, we do not want sunken face features, and then we read the three different sections of our face.  

Forehead represents early life, nose represents our middle age and mouth and jaw areas represents our elderly stage.

一個關於面相的故事 ~ 一生榮枯要看三停 A story about Chinese face reading ~ three sections on face

這是一個發生在民國初年的故事,三友人一同去看相。

曾居士説:我們的面部得分三停:由髮際到眉,稱為上停,表現由十六歲到三十歲的少年運;

由兩眉到鼻頭,稱為中停,表現由三十一歲至五十歲的中年運;

由人中至下頷,稱為下停,是表現由五十一歲以後的老年運。

這三停貴在均勻,就是性情中和,運道平穩之象。

‘郭先生是三停均勻,所以他性情中和,不特一生沒有災難之事,連大病痛也都沒有,這不是最大福氣嗎?’

曾居士又指鄧君和我説:鄧先生之中停稍長,而下停最短;齊先生則是上停短,中停稍長,下停最長;所以你們三人的命運,就彼此大不相同了。

就鄭先生的相說,因為上停稍高一點,而兩額之旁的天倉也豐滿,所以少年運最佳,功名官運都應在二十八歲以前就是發達夠了。

至于鄧先生,一生黃金時代應在中年,而齊先生則宜在晚年,這就是三停的主要道理了。

當然其中除均勻外,也還有其他善惡形象等關係。

How to read skin’s texture in palmistry? 皮膚粗幼,手相關聯

From the point of view in palmistry, skin texture is divided into two main categories, one is smooth and one is rough.  

看手相,除了看主紋外,皮膚粗幼也有關聯性。

Smooth texture obviously gives people a good impression.  It relates the owner is decent, educated, soft, even this person has a hard personalities,  but with a smooth skin texture, the basic of the character is still soft.

明顯,皮膚幼細給人良好的第一印象,此之外,幼滑皮膚亦主人家庭環境好,有良好教育,比較和別人容易結交成朋友。

On the other hand, if a person’s hand is with rough skin texture, it then relates that he/she is rather stubborn, rough, not easy going and easy to loose his/her temper.  

相反地,比較粗糙的皮膚,主人個性比較倔強,粗魯及容易發脾氣。

Therefore, this is an easy way to observe a person if you first meet him/her and will quickly come to the first conclusion.

五行除了用在八字命理外,相學上也可體現。

金 Metal element:

Skin is relatively pale in skin colour.  Clear and loud voice with a straight characters.  金型人,皮膚會偏白,聲線清和響。

木 Wood element:

Relatively tall in body height, with long neck and limbs.  With a kind and warm heart.  木型人,高和四肢及頸項偏長。為人也較為溫馴和善良。

火 Fire element:

土型人體形較圓渾及不太高,聲缐偏向低沉及個性屬於言能踐行型。

The above descriptions are based on the particular strong element flow among a person’s pillars chart, so that the specific characters or features are being obvious. 以上均是五行某種氣重的表現反影在命主上。

Water hand shape

Water hand shape is the roundish hand, it also called the artistic hand.  The owner usually has good sense of art and creativity.  

Fingers are relatively round and pointed in shapes and strong, palm lines are clear and delicate.  

A person has the water hand shape is usually optimistic and outgoing.  They are friendly and get along with the new circle of friends.  They are good at expressing themselves and being smart.  

The unique feature of the water element hand is relatively soft and thick palm with a strong thumb.  This is classified as good water hand shape. 

Since these people are usually the talented group, therefore, it’s easier for them to have a certain level of achievements in the commercial world, especially on the political or artistic industry.  

If in a case that the thumb is rather small and soft, then this reflects the hand owner is not good at making decisions, they have less focus on their targets but instead prefer living out a relax and chilling life.

手相篇~六秀紋 Chinese palmistry ~ success line

無名指下出現之直紋。我國手相術謂之六秀紋。西洋相術謂之「成功線」「太陽線」。而小指下出現之直紋。亦謂之六秀紋。西洋手相則謂之「水星線」。

凡手掌肉厚。或金形手。土形手及水形手出現六秀紋者。均以吉徵論。

但手掌肉薄。或木形手及火形手者,吉徵減分論。

因六秀紋具備了貴人緣。異性緣。

智慧高。富第六感。身體健康。有異路財榮。有偏財運。能逢凶化吉。年老

運吉等優異屬性故名六秀紋。

Success line is not one of the three main line but it is a small vertical line below the ring finger.  In Chinese palmistry, we called it the success line or the sun line since it lies on the mount of Apollo.  

This is particular a good sign for a thick palm.  On the other hand, for a thin and slim palm, the auspicious energy is less.  

It also covers a person’s popularity, intelligence, health and wealth blessings.  

手相篇 ~ 貴人紋 Chinese palmistry ~ line of luck

貴人紋「火星線」The line next to the life line / line on lower mars

地紋 (甲)旁出現之短紋(乙)我國手相術謂之貴人紋。祖蔭紋。陰騭紋。西洋手相術謂之內生命線。火星線。保險線。

不論男女主其人祖德深厚。有此紋者勇敢冒險之開創精神。為人熱誠厚道。處事守正不阿。適宜軍職發展或從事常危的工作。如遇危災有逢凶化吉

驗。尤以地紋秀長。再出現秀長而又貼近地紋之貴人紋。可履險如夷。有驚無險。

貴人是凡父祖輩積有陰德之人。地紋旁必定會出現或長或短之貴人紋。

In the picture, it shows the life line which is the main line and there is a small line next to it, we called it the line of luck.  Anyone with this time, it stands for there is always someone there to help you when you are in need.

When we read face, we do not only look at particular parts of the face, we have to read the colour tones on the face and this passes messages of the likely encounters regarding the owner.  We have to remember when we talk about colour, it is not the solid colours that we see on paints, it is referring to the tones of colours that is showing on the face.

Greenish blue (青色) – worried, scared and exhausted.

Yellowish (黃色) – delighted,  fortunate, lucky and promotions 

Pale (白色) – frightened, nervous, funeral affairs

Dark (黑色)- sickness, misfortune, lose of fortunes 

Redness  (紅色)- cheerful, festive, gain of fortunes

Dark red (赤色) – disaster, accidents and legal disputes 

Purple (紫色)- delighted, gaining of fortunes, career promotions and feeling lucky.

Regarding those unfavourable colours, they are likely to show at the forehead, under eyes, ears, cheeks and palms.

Parallel of the three main palm lines 

When we read palms, we will come across all sorts of different status even only about the three main lines.  First of all, the three main lines are the (from top to bottom) heart, head and life lines. 

When we observe palm lines, these three main lines some are joint at the top and some are well apart as three parallel lines. Let’s talk about the three parallel lines in this article. 

If a person has this status in palm lines. This reflects that the person has an independent mind. They are likely an independent person. They are not tolerance. We still have to consider how far apart are the three lines, this also deliver messages on how intelligent and how that person is likely to be affected by the environment he is living in. 

If the three lines are apart in decent spaces, then he is rather a more self-willed person.  On the other hand, if the three lines are only apart in very minor spaces, then he is a more considerate person when in comparison, which means how well apart are the head and life lines.

In Chinese face reading, to identify the face of a rich and well off people, there are certain requirements to fit in.

1. The definition is broad, but the first requirement is big and thick.  What do we means by that?  It refers to the main facial parts have to be big and thick.

震宮(第一火星丘)Chinese palm reading ~ Mount of Mars 

震宮(第一火星丘)

震宮相理學對應於「頭髮」。「頸項」和「足部」關聯。相當於面相1️⃣2️⃣宮之「財帛宮」「田宅宮」

「夫妻宮」 。

震宮豐滿高凸者。其人身體健康。勇敢無畏有臨危不亂。精明幹練有強烈進取心及自制力均。中年運由佳妻賢幫夫。女命容易🉐️貴夫。但亂紋沖破者。招性急之妻。女則嫁性剛之夫。

震宮低陷者。其人做事欠果決。缺乏進取處事懦弱。難聚財富婚姻生活欠佳。或有不良嗜好。有亂紋惡痣沖破者尤甚。

如震宮過於豐滿僵硬者。其人勇猛鬥狠。性專橫固執。處事粗心大意。如女命震宮太過豐滿者。屬於女強人之性格。

In the language of Chinese palmistry, we use both western concept and bagua (trigram) concept.  As shown in the picture below, is what we called the mount of mars, or Zhen sector 震宮.

When referring to body parts, it correspondence to our hair, neck and feet.    When we read this part of the palm, it is referable to be slightly swollen and round.  This means the owner is at good health, being active in personal life.  He/she is also a smart person and having a good self-control power, will not easy get across the line.  

As a woman, she can help the husband to handle a lot of things, and she can easily get a decent husband.  Moreover, on this mount, we do not like to see various lines especially those not in orders.  

On the other hand, if the mount of mars is slightly lowered, then this person is not a decisive and smart person, not active in doing things.  He/she is also not easy to enjoy a pleasant marriage and wealth.  

Moreover, if this mount is relatively hard, this reflects the person can be quite stubborn and careless in life.  

鼻下痣(疾病)Moles under nostrils (health issue)

生在左右蘭台廷尉之下。此痣主身體時常不寧。疾病延纏。不是腹內多病。就是下陰多疾。頭痛腳癢。腿酸手麻。筋骨不舒。大災命損。小禍傷身。看似身體豐滿。猶如墨山之石。風中殘燭。雙鼻流涕。不堪其擾。何者知之。

When we notice moles under two nostrils, it could be a signal for health issue.   Since this area is reflecting any possible illness in the body, this is often related to stomach, lower abdomen area, headache, or painful limbs etc.  

These conditions are often not easy to be noticed from the outside, but they are usually there for a while already.  We can treated this as an early signal and seek for related help ahead.  

鼻子 Face reading ~ nose

鼻是中正於面部。對應人身中位則心處。心裡正人正。心底歪人歪。

反映於鼻直人率直。鼻斜人諗斜。鼻節人必多波折。

看鼻看氣勢。要飽滿忌露孔骨薄成脊。

骨隆性堅強。骨低陷人無志。

鼻樑名「年上」「壽上」看健康。

鼻上「準頭」「光殿」和「精舍」看財帛。

又看雙顴力有否。助者成家立業。

Our nose locates in the middle of our face, when we see in the scale of the whole body, it is the same as our heart, it is the middle and the most critical part for us.  For further interpretation, the shape of the nose can reflect a certain part of our inner self.  

First of all, the straightness of the nose.  If it is not straight enough, the person’s thinking can be different from others.  They can easily come up with special ideas, unusual way of thinking etc.  

If the ridge of the nose is not in a smooth straight line, then the life is likely not going to be a smooth one too.  The nose ridge is ideally relatively round but not with sharp edge, this is a signal of wealthy life.  

Bigger nose means with a stronger personality, on the other side, smaller nose, a person can easily go with the flow.  

Nose shape also reflect health status, therefore, if the colour or the nose with a scar or mole, anything that is not suppose to be there, are not a good sign for anything.  

Moreover, a good size and shape of nose, has to go with a matching cheek bone.

🔅大拇指長大適中。掌亦厚實。第一節並能略略向後傾。主人個性優良。為人熱誠爽朗。進守得宜。有道義觀。勤勞節儉並富有恒心和毅力。但向前傾者,則主其人頑固偏見常懷私心。惟守法精神尚可。

The size of the thumb is decent with a reasonable thickness palm, while the top knuckle can slightly band backward, this stands for the person is a decent, warm hearted and hardworking.  On the other hand, if the top knuckle is slightly banding forward, this could be a signal for a relatively self centered person. 

🔅大拇指第一節強偉圓秀。主人意志堅強。有百折不撓的奮鬥精神。但第一節過長者。則意志雖堅強。理性卻不足。大拇指第一節短小。主意志不堅。易為困難挫折而屈服。第一節能彎曲自如。則主能剛能柔思想新穎。但喜離鄕發展 。

A strong minded person is usually comes with a strong and rounded shape first knuckle.  This person will not give up easily when he/she comes across problems, they have a strong willing power.  On the other side, if the first knuckle is too long, this stands for a strong mind but not logical enough.  If it’s too short, then they always have fluctuating mind, and tends to give up easily when they are being stuck.

拇指相法

🔅大拇指第一節代表意志力。第二節代表理論分析。第三節代表慾念。

大體言大拇指長大強偉堅硬圓秀。而又與掌形相配者。主父祖之遺傳優良。自幼年時期可享父輩之福蔭健康少病。靑年時期事業順利有成。屬聰慧理智個性勇敢果決。意志堅定獨立性強。待人熱誠和藹。

When we read the shape and features of a thumb, we start with the thumb knuckles.  The top knuckle means willpower, the middle knuckle means analytical ability and the bottom knuckle means desire of the person.

To a certain extend, the shape of our thumb comes from the dna but at the same time, it also reflects the general status of the person.  If the thumb is pretty and strong, and it goes well with the palm shape, this stands for the person grows up in a good family background with good health and with success career stage.  It also tells us that person is smart, decisive and independent. 

🔅大拇指傾曲柔軟。手掌亦柔若無骨者。主人多愁思悲觀。做事欠恒心毅力。意志不堅。使用金錢亦守無所節制。同時腸胃欠佳。

On the other hand, if the thumbs look soft, which tells us that person do not have a strong and decisive mind.  He/she can be a relatively pessimistic person, not good at managing money.

大拇指之長度以大拇指第一節頂端。到達食指第三節一半者為適中。長達食指第二節節紋處長。超過食指第二節節紋者為過長。不及食指第三節一半者為短。長度未到達食指第三節者為過短

The top knuckle of the thumb should at least reach the middle of the bottom knuckle of the pointer finger, which is decent.  If it reaches the middle of the second knuckle of the pointer finger, this is too long.  If it is under the bottom knuckle of the pointer finger, it is too short.

觀察面相 Face reading observations ~ where to start?

面相分三停

上停是由髮腳至雙眉之處。是先天智力表現。

中停是由雙眉至凖頭之處。是實際行動力表現。

下停是由凖頭下頤頦之處。是物慾與健康表現。

神相篇有言。『三停相稱,乃上相之人也』。此乃智力。實力及健康得平均發展。

在人相學上而言。上停是青少年命運。中停是中晚年命運。至於下停是晚年及老年健康運程。

In face reading, we start from dividing the whole face into three equal parts, from top to the bottom, as shown in the picture below.  

The top section: hair line to top of eyebrow, this stands for how clever we are, this covers the whole brain, and this is about the potential.  

The middle section: from the eyebrows to the nose tip, this part is about the actual ability of a person. 

The lower section:  from the nose tip to the lower jaw bone, this part is about the health status and desire.

According to ancient face reading books, if the three sections are similar, this is classified as a credit.  It stands for the development in ability and health status are equally good.

From the point of view of life stages, the top refers to young age, middle part is about middle age and the lower part is about elderly stage. 

眉 Face reading ~ Eyebrow (2)

每人不同之境遇。有人大走鴻運。有人敗走數年。有人一籌莫展。有人妻房掏空。有人由好變壞。有人由壞變好。此乃因各人「眉」「眼」之好壞不同。因此三十一歲至三十四歲各人之命運也就迥異。

眉尾又為「感情與財玄之所」。眉聚眉彎下過目者。是個性優良事業易有成財可聚。夫妻之間生活美滿。又「子女」多而優秀。

眉又為「保壽官」。因眉稜骨與骨髓相聯。眉毛濃秀眉骨而起。象徵健康長壽。故「問壽在眉」。 眉。一般人只知其對兄弟姐妹交友有影響。事實眉對一個人命運之影響旣多且大。所謂「吐氣揚眉」。關鍵在於「眉」 。

先賢言。「少年一輪眉。老年一林鬚」。人之命運自七歲開始。就與「眉」之相關密切。一直到晚年。所以重要部位之流年。均要參合「眉」看。

Fate, someone is from good to bad, someone is from bad days to good days, we can all find some trace from observing the eyebrows and eyes.  

As mentioned before, it is from the age of 31-34, this is the prime time for all adult, therefore, these are the few critical ages for the whole life.

Some eyebrow is long and curvy than other, this could be a signal for successful career, nice and good family life.  

Eyebrow can be seen as a health signal, if the brow is smooth, not messy and with shiny colour, this is standing for a healthy status for the person.

For the elderly age, we still have to observe the eyebrow too and since this is the later part of life, we have to take into account the lower section of the face as this reflects the health at this time of life.  

眉 Face reading ~ Eyebrow (1)

神相水鏡集。「藏精於骨。現精於眉」精者~精華也。或謂之精神。乃人身之「精華」藏於骨髓之中。而眉毛濃。眉稜骨起的人,骨髓內的精華亦多。眉毛亮麗。古人謂眉之有彩。即為骨髓精華之具體表徵。

如眉毛長者起伏如乘風飄秀。眉毛短者毫光如遠山鬱秀。眉毛濃者細發如貂毫閃光。眉毛淡者色華如羊毛潤澤。均是「有彩」之眉 。 

有云。「眉毛看個性。鼻子看健康」。眉之前端與肺相聯屬,眉之後端與肝相聯屬。眉骨則與骨髓相聯屬。一同道理。 

眉毛的行運流年從三十一歲至三十四歲,亦為人生眞正打拼事業奮鬥將來的開始。

三十一歲開始。時來運轉如遇到有力貴人援引。或陞官,。或創業。或在婚姻方面人財兩得。又或在上停運程內事業順利。但一到眉運開始時每況愈下。一敗塗地或婚姻破壞。至老未能東山再起。故為人生三十一歲才開始實有其來自也。

In terms of face reading, eyebrow represents the health statue for the person.  When the person is at good health, the shape, color and actual hair on the eyebrow, whether it is messy or not.  These all reflect the current status of that person.  

Apart from observing the eyebrow, the brow bone is another part that is critical.  Whether the bone shape is rather obvious by sticking out or just rather flat on the face.  This is part that, as a face reader, we have to taken into account before come to any conclusion.  

When an eyebrow looks energetic, with shiny eyebrow colour (natural colour) and smooth, this is an ideal eyebrow shape.  

Eyebrow indicates from age 31 to 34, this is the prime time for any human adult on career stage, as a result, a good eyebrow status can reflect if that person is going to enjoy a successful and smooth period at that particular stage of life.  

不理想額型 Non ideal shape of forehead 

We are talking about not ideal shape of forehead, first of all, we have to identify what is the perfect shape of forehead.  

A good shape of forehead is flat, wide, just like the shape of a wall tile with no scar or mole etc.  As a result, there are three common shape of forehead which is non preferable in the language of face reading.

要說不理想額型,首先要清楚理想額型。  要闊廣,如豬肝,微微隆起,不能有破,有損,有痣及凹陷。

斜額 Incline forehead –

知識力發展緩慢。後天得到良教育。也要自己努力打拼方可立足於社會。不然容易受到  社會淘汰。縱使出生家庭環境優越。仍會陷於困難之中。而且此種額形缺乏道德同正義感。始種額形常見於舊社會。

The front of the forehead is the part of the brain for logical thinking, if it is in incline shape, which means the person’s logical thinking ability could possibly be not as high as others or delayed development.  

Incline forehead 斜額

窄額 Narrow forehead –

 屬於智力遲鈍。青少年時期貧苦學習。屬於六親冇緣。須要終生努力才可得到改善。在社會上難於立足。好幸體力旺盛有氣有力屬勞動階層或可向野外發展。

Narrow forehead could be a sign of not a smart and brainy person.  During the stage of education (early stage of life), this person may not have high achievement at school, but through hard working, this situation can be improved. 

眉稜骨高凸之額相 Standout brow bone-

主個性倔強而且有欠修養。有遠大理想的志向。但好急喜怒常形於色。不易合群。自我中心為重。

此類額形的人。觀察力強勇敢自信。如果額頭又再向後傾。則容易衝動做出危險行為。

If a person with standing out brow bone, this could be a sign of relatively stubborn and self-centered person.  They like to show their emotion on their face.  They are highly confident and observing person.  

眉稜骨高凸之額相 Standout brow bone

掌中卦 Bagua in Palmistry

(第一講)

古內陸時期掌相用八卦區分性情與健康。後推演命運之去從吉凶。

西洋用掌上賁高為丘代表。

八卦之內取名「明堂」統八方。因八位皆高中心自低。明堂起窩便聚祿。忌平坦褔不來。

手指為「龍」。掌為「虎」。

龍吞虎時技術超群。虎吞龍時優柔快活。

Since the ancient times, experts started to use the concept of bagua or people call it hexagrams in palmistry.  They inherit this concept to identify people’s characters and health status, then eventually evaluation auspiciousness in the future.  This is also one of the main skills of future predictions from the ancient chinese society.

The centre of the palm, in bagua, they call it the flat area.  It identifies the location of the eight different directions order.  Since it is always the lowland to the other parts of the palm, it’s better shapes as a little bowl since palmistry experts believed it acts like a little dish when all the money that comes in can be saved there.  Therefore, they do not prefer it is flat.  

When it comes to the proportion of palm and fingers.  When fingers are much longer than palm, then it is predict the owner is a skillful person, while the other way round, then the owner is a enjoying a chill out life. 

困頓愁城面容 How to tell when a person is his bad luck days? 

人在困頓之時。面子常現愁容。如歷風霜蒙塵垢。

神氣不足。眉黑稠濃者。目無神彩。鼻低顴高。中正。印堂。年壽薄弱。井灶露孔。舉步無力。唇色枯乾口角兩垂。毛髮如麻草。皆屬困頓之容。

First of all, when a person is not in his unfortunate days, their faces are just like covered with a thin layer of dust, sort of greyish colour.  All the previous brightness on the face is just disappeared in no time.

They look very dull and tired, lips and hair are dried and colour not as good as usual.

These symptoms usually appear in middle age or even in elderly stage.

Chinese Face Reading ~ Eyebrow  一道眉

眉長主富。高主貴。要清秀為體。侵「命宮」則多愁無壽。「印堂」為「命宮」。眉要退「命宮」則富貴早逹。

若犯「日月」則多滯有剋。眉壓目少年妨父母。中年妨妻妾。運亦蹇滯且目為貴星。切不可壓。眉頭不可交。交則破印。眉雙連則印破。無祿少壽。又眉相互成交加。中年敗退孤獨。眉尾不可散。散則破財。做事有始無終。

運蹇者。必濃眉壓眼。

貧賤者。必黃薄短疏。

眉黃薄若無。則終身難有所成。

How do we classify a good eyebrow shape in Chinese face reading?

Shape :

Long eyebrow length (not too long, slightly exceed the end of the eyes) means weathly.

Slightly high angled eyebrow means the person can have good achievements and being aggressive in life.

The gap area between two eyebrows cannot be too narrow, this reflects the person maybe a rather negative person and depressed.   If the gap between two brows is decent, then this is a positive asset in facial reading.

The end part of the eyebrow must not be loose and untidy, since this can be a reflection of a person without perseverance. 

When an eyebrow is thick and causing the upper eyelid area is quiet narrow, this can be a reflection on fate is may not be as smooth as expected.

When an eyebrow looks dry and slightly yellowish in colour, this can be a signal of inauspicious in wealth and fortune.

人中 Philtrum

「人中」又名「人衝」

Let’s talk about the part of our face between our nostril and lips ~ Philtrum

祇從「人中」談起。不過是主生兒育女之事。但人中又為四瀆之溝洫。關乎面相的晚年運程。乃至關重要。

In Chinese facial reading, this part of the face reflects the picture of future siblings in our life.  This is to tell from the shape, lengthen and depth of it.

人中之部位須正直。上狹下廣而深長。無痣紋。此為上佳之人中。非但子孫昌盛。而且富貴長壽。若反之。上寬下尖。且又短淺。此乃不只子孫薄弱。健康也有不良影響。且亦人之心術不正。行為不端。如上下同等寬大。本人雖可享高壽。但老年較孤單。若還歪斜不直。亦多為無子徵象。且難免行為不正。形狀愈歪斜者愈甚。

人中若有直紋。而人中本身端正者。不過得子較慢。但人中歪斜或上下兩端小而中間大。自刑剋子女。中晚年以後運有轉惡。

Shape of the philtrum has to be straight and like a trapezium.  We do not like to see any mole, scar on it.  This means it is very likely that the owner has siblings in the future and lives a long healthy life.  On the other side, a short and shallow philtrum with mole on it, the owner is not likely to have sons (according to chinese traditions, son is very important for a family)

Apart from siblings, it also reflects the health of the person at an old age.  Philtrum belongs to the lower sector of our face.  As we have talked before, the lower sector of our face reflects the picture of our old age including family and health.  If there is a scar or mole and or a shallow philtrum, then the person may experience a health situation at the later stage of life.

凡人中深長。上小下寬線條極為明顯。必然多生男子。人中雖深但線條不明顯。使人有渾圓之感覺者。必然多生女。一些人之人中平坦若無。此等歲運流年運氣不佳。

有言:「福由心至。相由心生」。人中由無變有。由短變長。無非積善所致。並非稀奇之象。修心養性自然運氣有變。

唇 Face Reading ~ Lips

唇~城郭。

舌頭之門戶。一開一閉是榮辱所繫。故唇欲豐厚忌薄削。欲稜角而不喜縮小。唇色如丹者顯貴。如青藍色主災至。色如昏黑者主疾若惡病。光潤之色則主衣食足。

唇如蹇縮之人。衣食不足。老來貧苦。薄弱者更是。

唇有損傷者。上主妨父。下主妨母。

上唇薄主能言善道。下唇薄主貧寒運滯。

上下唇俱厚。忠誠之人。上下俱薄。是為妄言之人。

覆唇者。晚來不依。

口如四正。直言之人。

尖如吹火。口舌招尤。

口如仰月。快樂悠閒。

唇不能閉。衣食有損。

仿似下墜。孤單寒蹇。

故唇生不正。言詞難定。終為下仕之人。

In Chinese face reading (we focus on asian lips shapes and color), lips are an important part in the third session of the whole face.  This is the organ where we speak, therefore it could ever be the origin of auspicious and un-auspicious, it depends on how we behave.    There are some basic guidelines on telling whether the shape of the lips are good.  It can be divided into 1) color, and 2) shape.

Colour:

We like pinkish and shiny color, instead of purple, pale or even dark color.

Generally, lips with decent shape and color means the person is enjoying a smooth and life with good energy.  On the other hand, lips with non-preferable color means the person is likely to be suffered with some sorts of health issues or unfortunates.  

Shapes:

Lips with decent and full shape is the best one.  It has to be in the middle of the third session of the face.  This may sound abnormal, but if we pay more attention, it is not difficult to find people with uneven lips and it is not aligns with the middle line of the face.

Lined lips are with a tug in shape, this means the elderly stage of a person may not be as well off and smooth as earlier stage, with thin lips, this is more serious.

Upper lips represents father while the lower lip represents mother.  If there is a wound on lips, this could be reflect on either parents.  

Thin upper lips means a person is very good at talking or expressing own self.  Thin lower lips means a person can be over talking all the time, sometimes may not be that trustable.

Both lips are in even and decent thickness, then this would be a kind-hearted and reliable person. 

相眼捷訣 Critical Steps in Eyes Reading

面相 ~ 眼篇

Chinese face reading ~ Eyes

左眼為陽。右眼為陰。

如天之有日月。最宜光明。眼睛則清朗顯貴。

眼肉黑白分明。定是賢人。

眼有紅筋纏繞。定是性強之流。

眼長秀而有神。富貴福壽。

眼圓大而睛突。勇悍難馴。

眼曈黑大而光明。多才多藝。

Eyes reading in Chinese facial reading is a very critical part.  Eyes are the window of our soul to the outside world, it also reflects our inner emotion.  

Left eye is classified as ‘yin’ and right is ‘yang’.  Just like the sun and moon in the sky, eyes must be sharp and bright.  Sclera (eye white) has to be pure white and iris (black part) has to be real black, which means this person with consideration and kindness.

If we constantly see bloodshot on a person‘s eyes, it means this could be an impatient person.  If a person with a rather long but nice looking eyes shapes, this can be a symbol for a long and healthy life for this person.  

If a person is with a big, round and slightly bulging eyes, this possibly means this is a rather impulsive person.  When we look into a person‘s eyes, if we see a slightly bigger and bright iris, this could be a very intelligent and creative person.  

眼眶小而無神。志卑識卑。

眼光浮露定貪淫。

眼神不強。少決斷。

眼常濕者多好色,。

眼深之人欠財聚。

眼蓋深陷而且烏。難言子嗣。

眼肉黑子而斜視。便是奸淫。

眼突露無情。人多凶旱。

眼四白俱露。良心何存。

眼一大一小主為懼內之男。

半開半合定是愚蠢之性。

In eyes shapes reading, it is always preferable for big eyes rather than small eyes.

Sharp eyesight is also critical. 

If a person’s eyes are always moist, this person’s mind is always on sexuality.

If a person’s eye is not sharp enough, then he is a non-decisive person. 

If a person is with slightly bulging eyes, this may be a fierce person. 

面相三停  Chinese Face Reading ~ First Step

面相學入門説法。頭部是人的主要器官。所以面相為陰陽五行之首。可通身體各個部位。

則面相五官端正。其人的內心和行為亦都端正。

因此相術中將人的面部分作三部份。稱為「三停」。

「三停」的分法如下~

上停:由髮際至印堂為上停。意思是主父母對自己的福蔭和栽培。及可以看作工作是否得人賞識。如果額頭廣濶和飽滿。青少年運必得鴻運。

中停:由山根至鼻頭為中停。意思是自我分析力和活動能力強弱表現。更可看作中年運的事業成就同家庭和睦與否。如鼻子能直通印堂加上闊大圓潤。必是富貴的人。

下停:由人中至下顎。意思是老年時期的身體健康情況如何。也是一生作為家庭和事業好壞的結果。亦可看出有沒有兒孫福澤。則晚年是否孤單或兒孫成群跡象。

上列就是面上「三停」看相的法則。還有論頭部五行之法。留意下會解說。

This is the very first step in chinese face reading.  Divide the face into three equal parts from top to bottom.  

As seen in this picture

1st part Hairline to the top of eyebrow, including the whole forehead

Interpretation This is about earlier stage of life, from age 15 to 34.  This is when we study and starting our career.  Moreover, since this at young age, it also reflects how our parents are treating and if the early career stage is going to be smooth and success.   The shape of forehead is preferable to be full and smooth.

2nd part Eyebrows to the bottom of our nose
