The Positioning of the Five Mountains and Four Rivers in Physiognomy and the Significance of Physiognomy Theory

The Five Mountains and Four Rivers were originally the names of famous mountains and rivers. Physiognomy used them to match the parts of a person's face and to predict a person's fortune, longevity, and luck based on them. The Five Mountains refer to: the forehead is Hengshan Mountain, the chin is Hengshan Mountain, the nose is Songshan Mountain, the right cheekbone is Taishan Mountain, and the left cheekbone is Huashan Mountain. The four rivers refer to: the ears are the Yangtze River, the eyes are the Yellow River, the mouth is the Huai River, and the nose is the Ji River.

The five mountains on the face are facing each other, and the four rivers are clear, straight, bright and flowing, which can increase wealth. However, if the Five Mountains and Four Rivers are turbid and shallow, then all things will not grow. A person's intelligence, stupidity, status, fortune, longevity, poverty and early death can all be judged from the shapes and features of the Five Mountains and Four Rivers.

1. Positioning

1. Five Mountains and facial features

The Southern Mountain - Hengshan, refers to the forehead; the Northern Mountain - Hengshan, refers to the chin; the Central Mountain - Songshan, refers to the bridge of the nose; the Eastern Mountain - Taishan, refers to the right cheekbone (left for men and right for women); the Western Mountain - Huashan, refers to the left cheekbone (left for men and right for women).

2. The Four Rivers and the Parts of the Face

Jiangdu refers to the ears; Hedu refers to the eyes; Huaidu refers to the mouth; Jidu refers to the nose. As shown in the following figure:

2. The theoretical significance of physiognomy

1. Theoretical significance of Zhongyue physiognomy

The Five Mountains must face each other to be auspicious.

The Central Mountain must be high and majestic, and the East and West Mountains must also be high and majestic, taking care of each other, so that wealth and power can be obtained. If the East and West Mountains are not high and majestic, or are tilted and powerless, and have no power to respond, then the person will have a vicious heart, no kindness, no wealth and no power, and will easily offend villains, and will not live a long life.

The Central Mountain should be high and majestic, and the Southern and Northern Mountains should also be high and majestic and plump. They should take care of each other, and thus wealth and power can be obtained. If the South Mountain collapses, it means the person will be ruined, have bad luck in the early years, and will not be rich in the end; if the North Mountain is pointed and sunken, it means the person will have no success in the later years, and will not be rich in the end.

If the Central Mountain is sharp and thin and has no power, the Four Mountains will be without a master. Even if there are advantages, it is difficult to become rich. Without power and dignity, one's life span will not be long. If Zhongyue is long but not full, the person will only live a medium life. If Zhongyue is pointed and thin, the person will not be successful in life and will suffer setbacks in old age.

2. Theoretical significance of the Four Rivers Physiognomy

The Four Rivers are Jiangdu, Hedu, Huaidu and Jidu.

Jiangdu represents the ears: the ear canal should be wide and deep, with an outline like a heavy city, close to the head. It indicates that the person will be smart, wealthy, long-lived, and have a prosperous family business.

Hedu represents the eyes: deep eye sockets indicate a long life; small and long eyes indicate nobility and intelligence; shallow eye sockets indicate a short life; cloudy and sluggish eyes indicate a young death; eyes that are neither too big nor too small indicate nobility.

Huai Du represents the mouth: if the mouth is square and wide with the upper and lower lips covering each other, the person will have a long life and good fortune; if the upper lips are thin and do not cover each other, then the person will not have good fortune, and if the lower lips are thin and do not cover each other, then the person will not have a long life and will not have good fortune in his later years.

Ji Du represents the nose: if the nose is plump, round, shiny, without any cracks or exposure, the family will be rich. If the four rivers are upright, clean, bright and smooth, with clear outlines, they will be in harmony with the spirit, and wealth and grain will be abundant, money and property will not be wasted, and more savings will be made, and the person will be intelligent and wealthy.

3. The noble and disfigured appearances of the Five Mountains

Ancient books say: the forehead is Mount Heng, the chin is Mount Heng, the nose is Mount Song, the right cheekbone is Mount Tai, and the left cheekbone is Mount Hua.

The Central Mountain must be high and majestic, the Eastern Mountain must be steep, but if the Chaoying Mountain is neither high nor steep, it will have no power, and the person will be a villain, and will not live a long life. If the Central Mountain is thin and powerless, the Four Mountains will be without a master. Even if they have other advantages, they will not lead to great wealth, and they will not have authority and prestige, and their life span will not be very long. If Zhongyue is not as good as the elder, he will only live to a middle age. If the tip is thin, it will break in old age, and it will be satisfactory to young and old. If Nanyue tilts, the ruler’s opinion will be broken and he will not be suitable to be in charge of the family. The Northern Mountain is sharp and sunken, the last ruler will achieve nothing, and will not be noble in the end. If one is leaning towards the east and west and has no power, then his heart will be evil and cruel and he will have no kindness. The Five Mountains must pay homage to each other.

The Five Mountains refer to the forehead, chin, nose and left and right cheekbones. Physiognomy believes that if the Five Mountains are not straight, one will be poor from beginning to end. This means that if the Five Mountains are symmetrical and in harmony with each other, one will be rich and powerful throughout his life. On the contrary, if one of them is not in harmony, one will be in poverty.

The nose is tall and straight, while the left cheekbone is flat and does not rise to the right, which cannot form a complementary trend with the nose. This shows that this person has no power in his life, is just an ordinary citizen, and will not live long. If the nose is small and flat, because it is located in the middle of the face, it is like the other four mountains without support. No matter how well the other four parts are developed, they cannot make up for the defect of having no leader, so the person will never be prosperous throughout his life and his life will not be long. If the penis is plump and too long, it is not a good sign and the person will not live a long life. If the nose is pointed and thin, it means that one will not be successful in old age and there is a possibility that the family business will be ruined. An asymmetrical and tilted forehead indicates that one will not be successful in life. A sunken chin with a tendency to move inwards indicates that this person will achieve nothing in his life and will live a mediocre life. If the left and right cheekbones are asymmetrical and not square, it means that the person is not in power and has a bad character. He is cruel and ruthless, and has no mercy at all.

The above is a summary of the positioning of the Five Mountains and Four Rivers in physiognomy and the theoretical significance of physiognomy. I hope it will be of some help to you!
