Tang Xiuping's Physiognomy: Pingyuan Physiognomy

Mr. Tang Xiuping, the author of "Pingyuan Physiognomy", was a native of Xiaogan, Hubei in the early years of the Republic of China. He was fond of physiognomy all his life and made in-depth research. His physiognomy system connects the past and the present, spans China and the West, and incorporates the new and the old, carrying forward the past and opening up the future. He is truly one of the authorities in the field of physiognomy in my country. This book is an authoritative and relatively complete work on palmistry in the history of modern physiognomy. Since its publication, it has been sought after by people all over the world. However, the book is rarely printed and is secretly kept secret by a very small number of powerful people. Therefore, people have only heard of it but have never seen it. Therefore, it is regarded as a treasure by people in the physiognomy community. Mr. Chen Dinglong had been searching for this book among many friends at home and abroad for decades, but to no avail. However, by chance, he and his first disciple Du Changtai found this large-format Xuan paper-printed "Pingyuan Xiangxue" that had been used as calculation paper in a car that was collecting discarded Kunqu products. They were ecstatic at the time, but unfortunately, the book had been graffitied beyond recognition, and many parts were truly unrecognizable. In order to restore the book, Mr. Chen Dinglong tried his best and proofread it over and over again for decades. Finally, it has seen the light of day again, which is truly a gratifying event in the history of Chinese physiognomy. Now he dedicates it to the majority of Yixue enthusiasts.

"Pingyuan Xiangxue" is a work by Tang Wenhuan in the early years of the Republic of China. Due to the small number of copies printed, this book is not widely circulated. For many years, I have only heard of the title of the book but have never seen the book!

Chen Dinglong and Du Chengtai in China occasionally found a copy of the book in a pile of waste paper, but the book was already smeared and in tatters. I spent a lot of time and effort to proofread it, and it was completed in 1995. It was printed and published, and the world was able to see it for the first time!

This book is hard to come by. I hope readers who are interested in studying physiognomy will spend more time studying it. It is better than reading works that are copied and tampered by contemporary people.

1. Study hard.
Studying is necessary for everyone. And physiognomists are especially indispensable. The study of physiognomy is actually the study of Confucius' mind and nature. That is what the West calls philosophy. Big relationship politics. The relationship between small and large is moral. If you don't delve into the reason. How can we find out its source? Everything is just for making a living. Respond as you please. Cater to someone's preferences. To take the quicker step. A gentleman worries about it. Scholars are ashamed of it. This requires reading more books on physiognomy from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Do not follow the rough traces of the sorcerers in predicting wealth and fortune, good and bad fortune. It has already revealed the subtle aspects of one's personality, temperament and intentions. Let’s explore the mysteries of disease, life and death. The essence has been obtained. The knowledge and scope are naturally broad. And the classics, history, medicine, law, and philosophy. As well as anthropology, sexuality, anatomy, psychology, etc. Anything related to physiognomy. Each must be read separately. It increases knowledge. It also benefits the mind and body. Use it to practice the Tao. Then good and bad will become clear. Well-spoken. Use it to discipline yourself. Then your actions and hiding are reasonable. Arrogant personality. Don't just look at the surface. Just the name of the magician.

2. Cultivate moral character.
Confucius said. Do not look at anything indecent. Don't listen to anything indecent. Don’t say anything inappropriate. Do not do anything inappropriate. All these four. It can indicate whether a person's intentions are evil or righteous. His character is both foolish and wise. If you don't pay attention to this. The pursuit of power is the only thing that matters. Or wealth. Or lustful. Meet the powerful. Then flatter him. Those who have wealth will be welcomed. Those who are of different colors will be teased lightly. Thus, the original intention of physiognomy was lost. And his personality is destroyed. It must be based on seeing, hearing, speaking and moving. No regard for decoration. Examine its form. Observe his expression. Straightforward and honest words. Don't have unrealistic expectations. If you see him as unemployed. Then talk about planning for the opportunity. Don't make mistakes due to following the old ways. See the dandy. Let’s talk about the difficulties of starting a business. So that the old property can be preserved. The political circles talked about the sacredness of the office. Do not deceive superiors or subordinates. As Yang said, a man wants to be in the Lingyan Pavilion. The first achievement is fame, not money or anything like that. The world of physiognomy talks about listening with an open mind. Don't act on your own will. As Ouyang Xiu said, he sought to live but could not. Then neither the dead nor I have any hatred. In the military, people talk about leading by example. Defend the country. Just like what Ma said about serving on the battlefield. Something like a man's fortune. A person who cultivates himself. With the beauty of the whole person. Both parties benefit. What's not to like? Fortunately, we don’t ignore it.

3. Avoid greed.
Physiognomy and physiognomy. There is a difference between deep and shallow. A research principle. In order to seek the great truth. A memorization rhyme. To make a living. The purposes are not consistent. The same is true in that we should not be greedy. People who study physiognomy tend to be greedy for fame. A physiognomist must be greedy for profit. Greed for fame is not reality. Greed for profit leads to disloyalty. Therefore, we must avoid them. Bian Que once said that there are six diseases that cannot be cured. Arrogant and unreasonable. If it is not cured, it will be cured. Value money more than your body. The second one cannot be cured. The clothing and food are not adequate. Three things that cannot be cured. Yin and Yang are both unstable and the Qi is unstable; the four things cannot be cured. You can't take medicine if you are thin. The five things that cannot be cured. Believe in witches, not doctors. Six things that are not good for health. The editor followed this example and said. There are also six things that a physiognomist should not talk about. He takes advantage of his power and is rude. Not to mention. Value money more than morality. The second one is not discussed. The plan is not right. Intentional deception. Three things not to talk about. Insincere words. Try it. Four things not to talk about. After drinking and sex. The vitality has not yet recovered. Five things not to talk about. There are many people and many different opinions. I have something to do. Six things not to talk about. If you don't understand this meaning. Come and talk. Then you cannot talk to him, but you talk to him. When it comes to money, the effort to get it will be gone. It is unavoidable.

4. Help the poor.
When mortals are in bad circumstances and frustrated. Every time I ask him to predict my fate and talk about my appearance, I will ask him to predict my fate and talk about my appearance. The original intention was to have some hope. And get comfort first. Therefore, fortune tellers should pay attention to such people and those who are extremely poor. It is appropriate for Tan Xiang to thank him for the reward. Moreover, one's words must be appropriate. Such as being extremely rich and powerful. Or it may be determined by heaven. A moderate level of prosperity and well-being should be created by man. If you can be hardworking and diligent. Work hard to improve yourself. It’s not very good at the moment. And man can certainly conquer nature. For example, a certain department may be helpful. It is not difficult to develop. Even if all of them are really not good. Nor can it be explained directly. Cut off their hope. This is not to deceive anyone. It is not like this. It is not enough to save his life. As the saying goes: One word can make a country prosperous. One word can ruin a country. The relationship between words. Isn’t it great? We cannot relieve the poor with money. I am so ashamed. How can we be stingy with our mere knowledge? And not say a word to him.

5. Integrity and righteousness.
Song Hong said: Friendships made in poverty and humbleness should never be forgotten. A man should never divorce his wife who has shared his hardships with him. The ancient philosopher said: A rich man should not change his wife. These are all meant to encourage people to be chaste and righteous. People nowadays are often slightly pleased with themselves. He often abandons his wife and favors his concubine. What injustice is greater than this? Whenever I talk about appearance for such people. We should persuade them with tactful words. To make their harps and zithers harmonious. To avoid bad feelings in the family. This appearance should be like this. It seems difficult to find it recently. Baoyi is the second son of my old friend Mr. Xiong. The doctor is Ou Mouke. He had been at odds with his wife. One day, he asked a fortune teller to talk about his fortune. A fortune teller said with emotion. You can live in harmony with your first wife. Then he will be prosperous in the future. That is unlimited. Bao Yi was a person who was enthusiastic about fame and fortune. It was just as the fortuneteller said. Great changes have been made. But within a few years, he rose rapidly to prominence. Working in a hospital. And he even mentioned two sons. A certain fortune teller is named Yixiong. It is certainly not shallow and fresh. And Baoyi's reverence for integrity and righteousness. It is also enough for some ministers and common people to drink and admire. I wish to be a good fortune teller in the world. Be sure to encourage others to be thrifty and righteous. Benefit society. Money is the end of it.

6. Capacity.
The importance of capacity is huge. The gentleman of ancient times. Be in harmony with the virtues of Heaven and Earth. As bright as the sun and the moon. In accordance with the order of the four seasons. Cooperate with ghosts and gods to determine good and bad luck. It encompasses everything. All-inclusive. Therefore: wealth and honor cannot lead to debauchery. Poverty and humbleness cannot change one’s status. Mighty and powerful cannot be defeated. If the container is like a dustpan. The amount is like a cup. One thing is not to my liking. That is the evil of dropping the pen tip. One word does not go as planned. That is to show off the sharpness of the tongue. Poor relatives. Cannot accept with courtesy. The old and weak. Can't be sympathized with. The servant committed a minor offense. Arbitrary criticism. A family member is missing. Change color as you like. What a resentful and mean person. Such a person. Talk to him about appearance. Occasionally talk. Always take it as an honor. Make a small profit. Very happy. I want its appearance to be profound. How can I get it? You must also have a broad mind. Be loyal and forgiving. Graceful attitude. Speak in a calm and peaceful manner. Encourage good deeds without realizing it. The evil is invisible. The speaker was earnest. The listeners were delighted. Each suits his nature. All return to the right path. This is beautiful. It is enough to be called.
