The rules for observing the skull and facial bones in physiognomy

"Ma Yi Shen Xiang" says: The head is the master of all bones, and the face is the spirit of all parts. Points out the importance of head and facial bones in physiognomy. Because the skull covers the brain tissue, and the skull and brain tissue are like the relationship between eggshell, yolk and egg white. The larger the eggshell, the larger the yolk and the more egg white. By the same token, if a person has excellent innate genes, a large and tall skull, a well-developed brain, many brain cells, heavy brain tissue, and a well-shaped skull, he or she will be smarter than ordinary people. For example, Einstein has a large skull, and his brain weighs hundreds of grams more than that of an average person. Although there are a few people with extra large heads, but not very intelligent, this is because the various parts of the brain tissue develop unevenly. For example, people with a large, not round head, a large forehead without horns, a particularly large back of the head and a small forehead, or a high forehead and a flat back of the head, or a large head, a small neck and a short body, who look like dwarfs, certainly cannot be compared.

Generally, when people read a person's face, they only use the three parts of the face, four rivers, five organs, six bowels, five stars, six stars, and twelve organs as the standards. In fact, this is a wrong view. In addition to the skeleton, appearance should also include brain tissue, internal bone structure, and internal organs. It can also be said that physiognomy seems to be looking at a person's face on the surface, but in fact it is examining the quality of his brain tissue, internal bone structure, and internal organs. For example, bad cheekbones are caused by the poor cheekbones themselves. Other bad head and facial features are also caused by the poor bones to which they are attached. The sage said that bones are made of essence and flesh is made of blood. The essence and blood of parents constitute the bones and flesh of the human body, but because each person has different genetic traits, everyone's bones and flesh are different, just like the structure of a house, some are made of steel frame and marble, some are made of reinforced concrete, and some are made of bamboo, wood, brick and mud, so there is a big difference in value. Bones are the main thing and meat is the secondary thing. Bones are the shape and meat is the appearance. The quality of bones can affect the quality of meat, but the quality of meat cannot represent the quality of bones. The bone structure of the head and face is very important. Bones are inside the flesh. If the bone qi is green, its qi is clear; if the bone qi is purple, its qi is elegant and graceful; those with nourishing bones have moist qi; those with withered bones have dry qi; those with weak bones have thin qi; those with burnt bones have cold qi; those with translucent bones have bright qi; those with bright qi have moist flesh; those with moist flesh have nourishing skin; those with nourishing skin have bright complexion; those with bright complexion have elegant qi. Those with purple or pure purple on the bones are of good quality, and the flesh and complexion will also be good. A vulgar person must have poor bones. There is not enough blue and purple components in his bone marrow, so he has never had blue or pure purple complexion in his life. Therefore, when observing a person's face, one must first look at the bones of the head and face.

Chinese physiognomy places particular emphasis on the five parts of physiognomy, namely the head, face, body, hands, and feet. All five parts must be viewed as a whole, but among them, the most important is to understand the pros and cons of the head and facial bones. Because the human body can be roughly divided into two major systems: the thinking system and the operating system. The skull covers the thinking system, and the thinking system is the headquarters of the operating system. If the operating system is damaged, the impact on a person's life and work ability is still small, but if the thinking system is damaged, it will cause loss of work ability, and in severe cases it will threaten life. For example, if a person's hands and feet are chopped off, or some of his internal organs are removed, or his ears, eyes, nose, tongue, etc. are removed, this person will not be in danger of death. But if part of his brain tissue is removed, this person will definitely die. This is the main reason why Chinese physiognomy attaches great importance to the physiognomy of the head and facial bones. However, the method of face reading has not been passed down much throughout the ages, or it has been kept secret. In addition, looking at the face and bones is not as convenient and easy to learn as looking at the face and hands. Moreover, people with strange bones on the head and face are only one in a thousand, and it is difficult to find an actual example. Therefore, the method of face reading has gradually declined. Anyone who has one or several strange bones growing on his head or face symbolizes that his brain marrow is tens or hundreds of grams more than that of an average person. Of course, his wisdom is one or even several levels higher than that of an average person. Therefore, their lifetime achievements are twice or several times more than that of ordinary people, which is why the ancients said that there is no evil in the head. A woman should have a face like a full moon, and should not have any unusual bones on the face. If there are unusual bones, it means she will be vicious and lonely, but having unusual bones on the head is not a taboo.

According to the research results of physiology and anatomy, there are 29 bones in the human head and face, including eight skull bones, fourteen facial bones, one hyoid bone, and six auditory bones. The bone structure of the head and face is the same for all races, regardless of whether they are Eastern or Western. There is no distinction between more or less, good or bad. However, Chinese physiognomy has the theory that there are strange bones in the head and there are no bad bones in the head. What does it mean? What was mentioned earlier refers to the protruding parts on the skull, facial bones and auditory bones. If there were no protruding bones on the skull, facial bones and auditory bones, there would certainly be no such thing as the strange bones in physiognomy. The Chinese physiognomy that discusses the bone system of the head and face include books such as "Taiqing Shenjian", "Ma Yi Xiangfa", "Shuijingji", "Yuebo Dongzhongji", "Shishi Shenyi Fu", "Renlun Datong Fu", "Xiangmen Jingyi", "Shenxiang Tieguandao", "Bingjian" and "Gongdu Xiangfa". Summarizing what each school said, the bones can be divided into 38 bones of the front mountain (face), 34 bones of the back mountain (occipital bone), for a total of 72 bones.
