What are the basic methods of ancient physiognomy?

Physiognomy takes people as the basic object of observation. Specifically, it includes many aspects such as a person's appearance, facial features, skeleton, complexion, body shape, and palm lines. With the continuous development of physiognomy, the scope of observation of the human body is also constantly expanding.

So in the actual process of physiognomy, what principles should be followed or what specific steps should be taken to predict good or bad luck?

In this regard, the Ming Dynasty book on physiognomy, "Liuzhuang Xiangfa", advocated that the objects of physiognomy are thirty-six parts of the human body, such as head, hair, eyes, nose, bones, legs, philtrum, etc. Regarding the specific order of observation, "The Complete Book of Divine Physiognomy" points out that the first step in physiognomy is to observe the person's skeleton, followed by the five elements and the length of the three parts of the body (the ancients divided the human body into three parts, namely the three parts), and then the person's face, facial features, and so on.

The above discusses the specific content and corresponding order of physiognomy. In terms of specific methods, "Complete Collection of Divine Physiognomy" proposes ten aspects of physiognomy, namely, majesty, dignity and spirit, clarity and turbidity, round head and high forehead, five mountains and three parts of the face, five senses and six internal organs, round waist and thick back, hands and feet, voice and heart, physical shape and five elements.

In addition, there are the Seven-Character Method, the Eight-Facial Method, and the Cross-Facial Method, which explain the specific methods of physiognomy from the overall appearance and face respectively.
