The main value of "Complete Collection of Divine Physiognomy" lies in that it systematically collects physiognomy data, allowing us to have a more comprehensive understanding of physiognomy. Analyzing its content, most of it is nonsense. As stated in Volume 10 on Hands: Hands are used to hold, to select and to reject. Those who are tall and slender are kind and generous; those who are short and thick are stingy and greedy; those whose hands hang below the knees are extremely talented and virtuous; those whose hands do not exceed the waist will be poor all their lives; those who are small in stature and have big hands are blessed with good fortune; those who are big in stature and have small hands are poor; those who have thin and sharp hands are poor; those who have thick and pointed hands are rich; those who have rough and hard hands are lowly. Those with soft and delicate hands are elegant and noble; those with fragrant and moist hands are elegant and refined. The palm of the hand can reflect a person's life experience. The hands of working people must be rough, and the hands of rich daughters must be delicate, but this is by no means destined to be noble or humble. It is not people's palms that determine their destiny or experience, but their experience that determines the roughness or tenderness of their palms to a certain extent.

The complexion shows whether the internal organs are healthy. Volume 12 describes the five colors: gold is the god of the lungs, wood and green are the god of the liver and hair, water and black are the god of the kidneys, fire and red are the god of the heart, and earth and green are the god of the spleen. This is similar to the theory of complexion in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the book links complexion with parents' disasters, imprisonment, etc., which is completely unreasonable.

The Complete Collection of Divine Physiognomy is included in the Complete Works of Ancient and Modern Books, which is quite convenient for checking.
