Physiognomy and skull physiognomy: Zeng Guofan on reading the skull Original text: There are nine bones that rise: the forehead bone rises, the occipital bone rises strongly, the parietal bone rises flatly, the zygomatic bone rises at the corner, the temporal bone rises in a linear manner, the brow bone rises in a crooked position, the nasal bone rises in a bud position, the zygomatic bone rises somewhat, and the cervical bone rises flatly. On the head, the main bones are the frontal bone, occipital bone, and temporal bone; on the face, the main bones are the brow bones and zygomatic bones. If all five are complete, it is a pillar. If one is not poor, if two is not cheap, if three is good in action, then it is better. If four is precious, then it is valuable.
Colloquial language: There are nine noble bones, each with its own posture. The forehead bone should be full and voluptuous; the occipital bone should be substantial and exposed; the parietal bone should be flat and protruding; the tibia should be slanted upward like a horn and go straight into the hairline; the temporal bone should rise in a straight line; the brow bone should be visible but not exposed, vaguely like a rhinoceros horn lying there; the nasal bone should be shaped like asparagus or bamboo shoots, standing upright; the zygomatic bones should be strong and powerful, but not sunken or exposed; the cervical bone should be flat and thick, but also slightly visible and exposed.
When looking at the bones of the head, we mainly look at the three key areas: the forehead, the occipital bone, and the temporal bone; when looking at the bones of the face, we mainly look at the two key areas: the brow bone and the cheekbone. If these five bone structures are perfect, this person will definitely be a pillar of the country. If a person possesses only one of these qualities, he will never be poor in his life. If one possesses two of these qualities, he will never be humble throughout his life. If one possesses three of these qualities, he will become successful as long as he does something. If one possesses four of these qualities, he will definitely become noble. The author's additional note: The ancients said: The head is the master of all yang, the face is the ancestor of the five elements, it is the spiritual residence of hundreds of meridians and the divine path to the five internal organs. Only the image of the three talents (the upper, middle and lower parts of the face) determines the gains and losses of the body. Indeed, the success or failure of a person's career often depends on the intelligence of his mind and the strength of his decision-making ability. Therefore, a person with a decent mind will certainly behave decently; a person with a rabbit-headed and deer-brained face and thick flesh will certainly be cruel and treacherous; a person with a head like a full moon will certainly be versatile and well-mannered. These can all be confirmed from observation experience. Below we elaborate on our experience with judging head shape in modern society.
1. Square type (also known as the industrialist type or athlete type): The characteristics of this type of head are a square forehead, a square chin, and the body also tends to be square. Most people with this head and face shape become generals, industrialists, athletes, aviators, and explorers, but fewer of them are women. This type of person is energetic, lively, active, adventurous, unrestrained, free and enjoys outdoor life. This kind of person doesn't like to talk about theory, but is practical, constructive and hardworking. Their shortcomings are that they don't like reading, are intellectually lazy, and are not good at thinking. Therefore, they are suited to carry out what the thinkers have planned.
2. Rectangular: Narrow head, long face, somewhat rectangular. People with this type of head and face are good at diplomacy, enjoy socializing, are friendly and kind to others, and have a gentle and polite attitude. This kind of person is intelligent and clever, so in order to achieve his goals he will never use force, but will use his alertness and diplomatic skills. The shortcomings of this type of person are that they lack strength, courage and execution, and are not good at managing money. This kind of person is very suitable to be a diplomat or salesman. 3. Round face: People with this type of head and face have round bodies, and are well-rounded and versatile, which is what Chinese physiognomy calls a fat body and a big heart. People with this round face type are always optimistic and feel safe about everything, so they are always kind, interesting and approachable. This kind of people are naturally pleasure-loving, greedy and sleepy, and as a result they become fatter, so they are inevitably lazy in doing things. This type of person is good at administrative management and has a talent for financial management.
4. Triangle type: also known as intelligent type, ideal type, and artistic type. The characteristics of this type of head and face are a high and wide forehead, a pointed chin, and an inverted triangle face. People with this type of head and face are intelligent, good at reasoning, like to think deeply, love to read books, are creative, smart by nature, have many resourceful ideas, are idealistic, and are easily impulsive. The boss works hard with his mind and does not hate physical work. He does too little outdoor exercise, so his physique is weak. This type of person lacks vitality, physical strength and emotion, and is suitable for work such as invention, design, education, commentary and thinking.
5. Protruding type: leaning forward and backward, high forehead, protruding navel, short chin, and the side profile of the head is convex. People with this type of M-shaped head shape are extremely intelligent, quick thinking, agile in action, observant, creative and enterprising. His personality can be described as fast, so his shortcomings are that he is too impatient, lacks forethought, and is easily impulsive. Therefore, the ancients said: If a person has an upward face, he is not righteous, because he often acts recklessly. Although this type of person reacts quickly, they lack persistence and patience, and are impulsive and irritable. Because he talks a lot and is straightforward, he often makes mistakes.
6. Concave type: The upper end is protruding forward, the eyebrows are flat, the eyebrows are low, the lips are short, the chin is protruding, and the side of the whole head and face is concave.
This type of person with a prominent head and face is the exact opposite of the person with the protruding head and face mentioned above. His personality can be described in one word: slow. Everything is slow and not rushed. Thoughts and actions are all slow. Although such people are stubborn and unrealistic and lack creativity, they develop a character that is not blindly obedient, not impulsive, calm and composed, good at thinking, thinking twice before acting, not acting rashly, and rational and emotional. He is patient, persistent, mild-mannered and easy-going.
As physiognomy says: A person with a concave face is very scheming, so he has few opportunities to be introduced.
7. Straight type: There are more people with this type of head and face. Its characteristics are straight and forward, with a straight mouth and chin. The side of the head and face forms a straight line. Their personality is between the convex and concave head and face types. They often waver between deep thought and restlessness, so they tend to be indecisive.
8. Convex upper and concave lower type: This type of head and face is characterized by leaning forward and backward, high eyes and shoulders, high forehead, short and untied mouth, and a long and protruding chin. Because this type of person leans forward and backward, they think quickly, have a long and protruding chin, and move quietly and heavily. He is a practical and decisive person, and is a talented leader. His character flaws are that he tends to be authoritarian, arrogant and stubborn.
, concave on top and convex on the bottom: The characteristics of this head and face are exactly the opposite of the above-mentioned convex on top and concave on the bottom. It is characterized by a forward tilt, protruding upper end, flat eyebrows, low cheekbones, prominent lips and a short chin. This type of person's personality is the opposite of the convex-upper-side and concave-lower-side type mentioned above. He acts faster than he thinks, so it is not easy for him to have a thorough plan. He is often rash and careless, and therefore regrets every time he takes action. This is different from the convex-side person who never regrets his actions. This type of person is impractical, easily impulsive, and lacks comprehension and patience.
