A Combined Discussion of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Physiognomy: Incompatibility of Body and Color and Unlucky Years

Based on the combined discussion of Chinese medicine and physiognomy on physical appearance and inauspicious years, typical five-element people and yin-yang people are rare among the population, while mixed types account for the majority. Among the mixed types, there are many cases where shape and color counteract each other. The counteraction between color and shape is called shape and color bock. Starting from the age of seven, every nine years added are considered taboo years. Taboo years are years when diseases are likely to occur, so special attention should be paid to health care and prevention.

1. Anniversary

Starting from the age of seven, add nine to get 16; 16 plus 9 is 25; 25 plus 9 is 34; 34 plus 9 is 43, 43 plus 9 is 52, 52 plus 9 is 61; 61 plus 9 is 70; 70 plus 9 is 79, 79 plus 9 is 88… The above years are unlucky years for people, and they should pay attention to health care and other accidents.

9 is a yang number and also an extreme number. Every 9th year is a stage in human life activities, a stage of physiological changes and high incidence of diseases. It warns people to be careful about health care, so it is called an unlucky year. If you find any disease, you should prevent and treat it early and not take it lightly. Be careful about your physical condition and don't do anything that is too strenuous.

2. The shape and color counteract each other

Shape overcomes color, which means that the five elements of body shape restrain the five elements of skin color. For example: a person with a wood shape has a yellow complexion (wood overcomes earth); a person with a fire shape has a white complexion (fire overcomes metal); a person with an earth shape has a black complexion (earth overcomes water); a person with a metal shape has a green complexion (metal overcomes wood); a person with a wood shape has a red complexion (water overcomes fire). Or color overcomes shape, which means that the five elements of skin color overcome the five elements of body shape. For example, a green complexion is the color of a wood shape person, and his body shape is earth (wood overcomes earth); a red complexion is the color of a fire shape person, and his body shape is metal (fire overcomes metal); a yellow complexion is the color of an earth shape person, and his body shape is water (earth overcomes water); a white complexion is the color of a metal shape person, and his body shape is wood (metal overcomes earth); a black complexion is the color of a water shape person, and his body shape is fire (water overcomes fire).

The above-mentioned shape overcoming color and color overcoming shape both mean that shape and color are in a counteracting relationship. When this kind of shape-color counteracting relationship is discovered, it is an abnormal phenomenon. If it is an unlucky year and you are affected by external evil or have internal stimulation, you will easily get sick.

There are two reasons for the conflict between shape and color: one is the innate endowment. The innate color is the conflict between shape and color. This is a mixed form and a multi-morbid body shape. The second is the acquired change in complexion, which is a sign of illness. If it occurs in an unlucky year, you should be more vigilant. Especially after the age of 40, a person's normal complexion has become fixed. If there is any change (called guest color) and a complexion that conflicts with the original color appears, it is an abnormal phenomenon.

Temporary physical and mental conflicts caused by diet, work, emotions, etc. are normal. The shapes mostly remain unchanged, but the main thing that changes is the color.

Green color appears in people with earth-shaped bodies, which means wood overcomes earth. It is the color of an illness caused by excessive liver qi and weak spleen and earth. It is also the complexion of a person suffering from liver disease. If the face is dull and gray, and it is an unlucky year, it is a sign of death.

Red is the color of metal on people's body, which means fire overcoming metal. It is the color of an illness caused by excessive heart fire. Excessive heart fire can easily lead to madness and sores. If the face turns purple and dark red, it is a disease of weak heart qi or stagnant heart blood. At the same time, the lesions can easily spread to the lungs and cause lung disease.

Yellow appears in people with water-shaped bodies as earth overcomes water. It is the color of spleen and stomach decline, and insufficient qi and blood. If it is yellow and bright, it is mostly damp heat, and is a new lesion. It must be treated in time to prevent it from spreading to the kidneys and causing kidney disease. If it is yellow, it means dead grass or yellow soil, which is the color of death, and it should be treated.

White appears in people with wood-shaped bodies because metal overcomes wood. It indicates lung disease, insufficient qi and blood, or exposure to cold evil, insufficient lung qi, diseased qi and blood, or temporary exposure to wind and cold. If it is white like salt or white like dry bones, it is a sign of death and requires emergency treatment.

Black appears in people with fire body shape, which means water overcomes fire. It is the color of kidney disease, or it may be due to insufficient kidney yang, water immersion, or blood stasis. If it is black and looks like coal smoke, it is a sign of death and requires emergency treatment.

When form and color conflict occurs, even if it is a minor illness, it should be taken seriously, because form and color conflict is an adverse sign from the perspective of general diagnosis and luck, so you should not be careless.

3. Shape and color complement each other

The consistency of shape and color is called shape and color in harmony. For example, people with wood shape see green, people with fire shape see red, people with earth shape see yellow, people with metal shape see white, and people with water shape see black. If the appearance and color are compatible from birth, it is innate. If the appearance and color are compatible in an unlucky year, it is acquired. Whether congenital or acquired, a harmonious appearance is a sign of good health or a good sign of recovery from an illness.

People with wood-shaped body may appear green in their unlucky years or they were originally green and then appear green in their unlucky years or even in non-unlucky years. Their faces may become green like dark jade, moist and bright, which is the color of recovery from liver disease.

People with fire body shape will appear red in their unlucky years or not, or their original red color will become moist and shiny like a rooster's comb, which is the color for recovery from heart disease.

For people with earth-shaped bodies, the color yellow, bright and moist, like the belly of a crab, is the color of recovery from spleen disease, regardless of whether it appears in an unlucky year or not.

People with metal body shape see white, shiny and moist color like goose feathers; regardless of whether moles appear in the unlucky year or not, it is the color of recovery from lung disease.

For water-shaped people, black, shiny and lustrous color is like heavy lacquer. Regardless of whether it appears in the inauspicious year or not, it is the color of recovery from kidney disease.
