How long does it take to know the life span?

The length of the philtrum is one inch longer than the middle finger of the person, which is another sign of longevity. People whose philtrum is longer than 3 mm, the same length as the middle finger, generally have a longer life span. This feature is also called the "philtrum sign of longevity."

However, a long philtrum is only one of more than 20 characteristics of longevity. Physiognomy is not a single-minded judgment. Whether one will live a long life or not must be determined comprehensively based on the complexion and shape of the philtrum and various signs from other parts of the body. People who live long generally have a long philtrum, but people with a long philtrum do not necessarily live long, and people with a short philtrum do not necessarily live short.

What Chinese medicine says about “don’t make a single judgment based on appearance” makes a lot of sense. Only after combining all the evidence and thinking comprehensively can we make the right judgment. It is necessary to combine the complexion and shape of features such as the ears and philtrum, and also refer to other signs of the facial features. In short, everyone has a different physique. From this point of view, we can learn a thing or two about whether a person lives a long life from ethos, but we cannot jump to conclusions. Whether a person lives a long life is also related to natural disasters, man-made disasters, one's own conditioning and other factors. Don't blame ethos!
