Five-character physiognomy: human features and the five elements

Five Elements Physiognomy and Human Face

The Taiqing Shenjian says:

If you look carefully, you must look back to the ancient times, and look at the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

If there is mutual punishment or restraint, the shape will be determined; if there is mutual generation, the land will be required.

A crooked philtrum indicates sudden death, and a stretched and exposed upper lip indicates much suffering.

If the left eye is very small and the right eye is high, the parents must have abandoned the child when he was young.

If the right eye is small and the left eye is turned upside down, there will be many losses in the family wealth palace.

You also need to look at the eyes and the weight, and then pay homage to your parents and add to the clan.

Southerners are more like northerners in wealth, while northerners are more like southerners in fame.

If you have a back, you can naturally carry the load, and schools and academies are very close.

Why judge someone’s value by his eyebrows and eyes? First look at the bones and then the flesh.

The matters of family members are even more different. Clear is precious, and turbid is precious. Only the truly turbid and truly clear are precious.

If you can still recognize the clear in the turbid, you would have received official salary long ago.

Clear things are afraid of being superficial, while turbid things are afraid of being solid, and one is even more afraid of having thick ends of eyebrows.

It is also said that people with round faces are also good, but they should also pay attention to their voices and speak softly.

If you make friends with such a person, it is hard to predict what he will be thinking in front of you and behind your back.

Generally speaking, the roots of physiognomy are that gold, wood, water, fire and earth are connected.

If there is conflict and punishment between them, there will be ruin, but if there is promotion between them, there will be many years of prosperity.

The meaning of this passage is: In addition to looking at the three parts of a person's face, one must also combine the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. See whether they are in conflict with each other. If the philtrum is crooked, it is a bad omen, and if the upper lip is protruding, life will be difficult. If the left eye is small and the right eye is high, it is easy to lose parental love in childhood. On the contrary, it is easy to lose wealth. In addition, we also need to consider whether a person’s eyes are odd or even. The second visit to parents will result in the addition of a child. If people from the South were as tall as people from the North, they would be very rich. If people from the North were as short as people from the South, they would just have a reputation for nothing. People with round backs can carry heavy loads and often work in schools. In addition to the eyebrows, we also need to look at the bones and muscles. A person with pure and beautiful flesh and blood can be a noble person, and a person with turbid flesh and blood can also become a noble person, but it must be truly pure and turbid. If you can still recognize the clearness in the turbidity, you will surely be an official with a good salary throughout your life. Clear things are afraid of being superficial and turbid things are afraid of being solid, and what is even more frightening is that the eyebrows are equally thick at the beginning and end. It is also said that a round face is a good appearance. If you listen to your voice, it is better to speak in a low voice. If you get in touch with such a person, it is hard to predict what he will be thinking. In general, one must understand the roots of physiognomy. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are closely connected. Those that are in conflict with each other will lead to great ruin, while those that are in harmony with each other will lead to longevity.

What do the five states of human beings refer to and what are their characteristics?

This is a physiological term referring to five different physical types of people. Traditional Chinese medicine divides people into five types according to their different physical shapes, the strength of their muscles and bones, and the prosperity and decline of their qi and blood: Taiyin people, Shaoyin people, Taiyang people, Shaoyang people, and Yangming and Heping people. People of Taiyin do not show their emotions on the outside, are relatively selfish and insidious; people of Shaoyin are greedy for small profits, like to laugh at others, are very jealous, and cannot stand seeing others better than themselves. People born under the Sun sign like to brag, talk big, be ambitious and conceited. People of Shaoyang have strong self-esteem, are vain, and unsteady, so they are unwilling to work hard. People with harmonious yin and yang are the best among these types of people. They are generally relatively organized in doing things, not ambitious, modest and cautious towards others, and can generally achieve great success.

This classification is at a higher level, representing a more typical and pure personality type, but most people do not have this typical performance. Therefore, it is not very specific, so in practice it is impossible to classify people and point out ways to overcome their weaknesses one by one.

Shaoyang people are generally more narcissistic. They think they are good at everything, cannot see their own shortcomings, and always feel that others are not as good as themselves, so they always like to point fingers at others and manage others. Moreover, this type of people are naturally face-conscious, very vain, and tend to be meticulous in their work, and have a strong self-esteem. However, when they become a minor official or achieve some small success, they will become arrogant and show off everywhere. In addition, people from Shaoyang do not care much about their families. They always like to be in public and socialize with others. They do not like to work in obscurity. This kind of person shakes his head and tail when he walks, and often puts his hands behind his back, looking arrogant.

People with Taiyin are relatively selfish. They only want to take without giving. They are insidious and cunning. They always keep a calm state and do not show their emotions. Such people are relatively capable and can accomplish great things. We must be careful to guard against the insidiousness and cunningness of Taiyin people. Because such people are greedy and have no compassion, they will do anything for their own benefit. This kind of person's usual trick is to be modest and servile on the surface, and to strike back after being attacked. However, this kind of person is too big, has a gloomy complexion, and is obviously pretentious.

Shaoyin people are typical villains. This type of person particularly likes to take advantage of others. He gets angry when he sees others living better than himself. He has a strong sense of jealousy and tries every means to find opportunities to destroy others. When he sees others suffer setbacks and hardships, he will gloat over their misfortune, watch coldly, or even add insult to injury. This type of person gives people a noble feeling, but they lean forward when walking and are restless when standing.

People born under the Sun sign, due to their excessive and abundant Yang energy, tend to be arrogant, impatient, have high expectations but poor skills, and are dismissive of small things, and often lack the ability to do big things. People born under the Sun sign are also ambitious and like to talk big with others. They are ambitious and self-willed, and do not know how to reflect on themselves when they fail, and often blame others. This type of person often behaves in a sloppy manner, does not distinguish right from wrong, acts on impulse, is blindly confident, and walks with his chest held high and his stomach puffed out, giving people a feeling of arrogance.
