Complexion, body shape and skeleton physiognomy

What are the ancients’ methods of observing complexion?

"Tai Qing Shen Jian" said: To observe a person's complexion, one must wait until dawn when he gets up, then use a paper candle in the palm of your hand to shine through his braids to verify whether it is good or bad luck. All of them are facing the back of the eaves, which is not their original appearance. If you are not allowed to wash your face, rinse your mouth, or drink medicine, and then check it, it will be difficult to verify. Moreover, the initial colors of the five internal organs face the face in the morning, nourishing the heart. Therefore, if you observe it in the early morning, you will see the five internal organs and five colors of fresh energy facing the face. The ferocious complexion may appear on the face at any time, due to anger caused by something, or sorrow or joy caused by something, or red or green color caused by drinking, or disorderly and restless due to overwork. These are not the colors of the internal organs, but appear all at once, so it is difficult to distinguish good from bad. If one does not watch it in the morning or evening, just sit still and concentrate for a long time to watch it, perhaps there will be some results. If one does not consider the morning and evening, and is drunk, angry or sweating, and does not stop but waits but watches, then another moment of frivolous and violent spirit will be revealed, and it will be difficult to foresee good or bad fortune.

Detailed explanation in vernacular: To observe a person's complexion, one must use a candle at dawn or dusk. If you are in a backlit place, what you see is not the original color of your complexion. In addition, you cannot watch it after washing or taking medicine, otherwise it will be difficult to verify it correctly. The original energy of the five internal organs will appear on the eyelids in the early morning, and rest and recuperation will be done inside. Therefore, only at daybreak can one observe one's complexion and understand the true condition of the five internal organs. There is no regular pattern to the color of a person's complexion. It may be caused by anger when encountering something, or sadness or surprise when seeing something. It may turn red or blue due to drinking, or it may be caused by confusion and impetuousness. These are not the original colors of qi, and are covered up by the sudden anger, so they are difficult to distinguish. If it is not viewed in the morning or evening, the person being viewed is required to sit quietly for a while and wait until the restless emotions subside before watching again, in order to obtain the real information. If you look at it without distinguishing between morning and evening, and after the person is drunk, angry, or sweating, and without waiting for a pause, then you will see the temporary violent energy and it will be difficult to see the person's true complexion.

Insight into human destiny from body shape and skeleton

After looking at a person's spirit and complexion, we need to look at his body and bones. The Taiqing Shenjian says:

Secondly, look at the shape and bones. If the bones are thin, the skin should be soft and smooth.

Sometimes the flowers are full before they bloom, sometimes the fruits are already produced before they are fully grown.

Old people do not want to be like young people; old people should be mature.

Men do not want to have feminine appearance, and women do not want to look like men.

Yin is the opposite of Yang, and the husband dies early; the old man is pregnant with young beauty and lives a long life.

There are two ways to evaluate husbands and women: women should be gentle while men should be strong.

Women are of the feminine nature and should be quiet. It is definitely not a good thing for them to smile before speaking.

A good man has authority but lacks charm, while a prostitute has charm but lacks authority.

People feel insulted at the first sight, so they keep themselves in a very low position.

Wood needs to be thin, metal needs to be square, water needs to be rich, soil needs to be thick, and fire needs to be sharp and long.

It is most auspicious if the bodies are mutually beneficial; if they are mutually destructive, it will definitely be disastrous.

If gold gets gold, it will be strong and resolute; if wood gets wood, it will be rich and wealthy;

Water gets water, and talent and learning are precious; fire gets fire, and power spreads;

The more soil there is, the more warehouses there are. Gold is not gold, but ponders;

If wood is not wood, there will be loneliness; if water is not water, there will be many officials and ghosts;

If the fire is not fire, there will be many disasters; if the earth is not earth, there will be many hard work.

The most important thing is that the body is square in shape and fat in the early stage after growth.

If it starts to become thin and dry, the disasters will become more serious if it is combined with gold.

Just as the body should be thin first and then the back should be prominent.

If it is square at first but then pointed, it will be a disaster for metal when meeting fire.

It is best not to have any disasters in junior high school, and your waist and hips cannot be opened in small steps.

If the junior high school is not good, the final birth will be good, and the belly will fall down when it is born.

A person with hips and a back can carry the load, but a person without a back and hips is just useless.

Although it may look good before, it is not perfect yet. You must live well until you grow old after seeing it.

He is big on horseback and small on foot, and he can also store energy and spirit, so how can he be a small official in the eight seats and three platforms?

[Abstract in vernacular]:

After looking at a person’s spirit and complexion, you need to look at the condition of his shape and bones. Generally speaking, it depends on whether the person is born with thin bones and soft and smooth skin. Maintain the original and continue to grow new ones, and eventually it will last forever. It is full before its time, the flowers have not bloomed but the fruits have already formed. The elderly should not act like young people; they must act like old people. Men should not look like women, and women should not look like men. If Yin turns into Yang, it will cause the husband to die early. For example: Old people have a shorter life span than young people. For men and women, women should be gentle and men should be strong. Women are yin and should be quiet. A person who laughs before speaking is not a good woman. A good woman is dignified but not charming, while a prostitute is charming but lacks dignity.

Among the five elements, wood is thin, metal is square, water is wide, earth is thick, and fire is long and sharp. It would be best if the five elements could complement each other. It is unlucky if the five elements conflict with each other. People with the metal body shape have a metal shape, and are resolute and strong. People with wood shape have wood shape and abundant wealth. People with water shape have water shape and are talented. People with fire shape have fire shape, and their mighty reputation is widely spread. People with earth-shaped bodies have earth-shaped bodies, and have more savings and property. On the contrary, if the person with the gold shape is not gold, he will be more worried and hesitant. People with the wood shape are often lonely if they are not wood-shaped. People with water-shaped bodies are not really water-shaped, and they are likely to die as officials. People with fire-shaped bodies are not fire-shaped and will suffer from many disasters. People with earth-shaped bodies will have many hardships if they are not earth-shaped. If we only consider body shape, it is better to be thin first and then gain weight. If one becomes thin first and then withered, it is the metal that overcomes the technique. For example, the shape is square at first and then becomes pointed, which means metal overcomes fire. If the waist and hips are so thin that one cannot take big steps, one will have good luck in childhood and middle age, but disaster in old age. If a baby's belly is like hanging upside down on a wall when he is just born, he will be unlucky in his early and middle years but lucky in his later years. Generally speaking, people with a full back and buttocks can bear weight, while those with mediocre backs and buttocks are mediocre. Looking at the front is not really good luck, but looking at the back is good forever. Such a person can be a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official. If one's behavior contains charm, he can hold a very high position.
