What are the "Five Stars and Six Luminaries" and "Three Talents of the Underworld" in Physiognomy?

In ancient times, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn were collectively called the five stars, which correspond to the left ear, right ear, mouth, forehead, and nose respectively.

In ancient times, the Sun, the Moon, Yuebei, Luohou, Ketu and Ziqi were collectively referred to as the Six Righteous Stars, which correspond to the left eye, right eye, nose bridge (between the two eyes), left eyebrow, right eyebrow and brow (between the two eyebrows) in physiognomy.

The five stars and six planets are the main celestial phenomena in the universe, while the five mountains and four rivers are the main terrestrial phenomena in nature. The ancients corresponded the parts of the human body to them one by one, expressing the philosophical idea of ​​the unity of man and nature. If a person's facial features match the characteristics of the physical objects of the universe, it is considered to be a sign of wealth and honor.

The term "Six Ministries" comes from "Shang Shu丨Yu Mo": The earth is flat and the sky is perfect, the six ministries and three affairs are properly governed, and the world will rely on them forever. The original meaning refers to water, fire, metal, wood, earth and grain as places where wealth gathers. The ancients also regarded the six organs as the basis of human health.

The six palaces in physiognomy are divided into the upper two palaces, the middle two palaces and the lower two palaces. The two accessory bones are the upper two fu, referring to the area from the accessory corner to the crown; the two zygomatic bones are the middle two fu, referring to the area from the life gate to the tiger's ear; the two chin bones are the lower two fu, referring to the area from the chin to the chin. The Six Palaces represent the state of money and wealth, and the best is when they are plump, substantial, smooth and flawless.

Among the three elements, heaven corresponds to the forehead, man corresponds to the nose, and earth corresponds to the chin. The three respectively represent the nobility of life, the length of life and the amount of money. A broad and round forehead indicates that the person has heaven and is noble; a strong and straight nose indicates that the person has people and will live a long life; a square and broad chin indicates that the person has land and will be rich.
