Learn the art of physiognomy to improve your ability to read people

As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. This is actually not entirely accurate. A person's inner thoughts can be more or less revealed from his face.

The ancients said that "appearance is determined by the heart." A person's personality, thoughts, and good and evil behavior can be seen from his face.

Zeng Guofan revealed his physiognomy skills in "Ice Mirror":

To judge righteousness, look at the eyes and nose; to judge intelligence, look at the lips;

Success depends on bearing, career depends on spirit.

Life and death can be seen from the fingers and claws, troubles can be seen from the heels;

If you want to know the logic, it is all in the language.

As the old saying goes: If there is mind but no appearance, the appearance will give rise to the mind; if there is appearance but no mind, the appearance will disappear with the mind. What it means is that if a person is born with a good heart but an ugly appearance, his appearance will improve as his heart becomes better. On the contrary, if a person has a good appearance but a bad heart, then his good appearance will turn bad along with his bad heart. In short, the mind is the master of the human body, and appearance is determined by the mind.

The evil and uprightness can be seen from the eyes and nose. People with flashing eyes and crooked noses are not upright.

A person's evil heart can be reflected in his eyes, and if the eyes are not bright (the ancients called it "sharp ears and bright eyes", in fact, "bright" means clever, and "clever" means bright), then his heart is difficult to predict. Isn’t it said that eyes are the windows to the soul? Eyes are the easiest way to reveal a person's inner secrets.

It is easy to see that people's eyes are generally very easy to see. Just see whether they dare to look at you directly. If his eyes flicker and move around, there's definitely something wrong with him. If a person's eyes keep flickering left and right, it often means that he is guilty or insincere. But if he keeps staring at you or glaring at you fiercely, that won’t work either, so it’s actually not easy to look at people in the right way. In fact, the most difficult part for people to cultivate is the eyes. It is wrong to look, and it is wrong not to look. It is wrong to look hard, and it is wrong not to look hard. This all depends on your own cultivation.

The nose is one of the most important organs among the five senses. Ancient physiognomy attached great importance to the nose because it involves the brow above and the philtrum below. People who are good at physiognomy often say that people with high nose bridges have high power, while sharp noses often indicate harsh people. There is even a saying that men should be judged by their noses and women by their mouths. As for what kind of nose is straight and what kind of nose is slanted, there are many different opinions among our ancestors in physiognomy. Generally speaking, it is true that people with plump, straight, neat and tidy noses are more likely to be liked by others.

Lips are also an important part of the five facial features. Intelligence can be seen from lips. People with thick lips are usually honest.

You need a big mouth to eat everything. People with big mouths are generally bold and unrestrained, have strong personalities, are full of energy, are active and decisive, and will work hard. People with big mouths tend to be optimistic in character. Are lips better to be thicker or thinner? It’s better to be thicker, and the upper lip should cover the lower lip. People with thick lips tend to be more honest and generally treat others with sincerity, giving people a sense of being real and trustworthy. People with thin lips are usually frivolous and tend to speak carelessly. As the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth", so they easily offend others and make enemies. Of course, these are just for reference, because they need to be considered comprehensively in conjunction with many other factors.

Success depends on one's bearing. People with a dignified bearing are more likely to succeed.

To judge a person’s “aura”, first look at his forehead, and then look at his overall aura. Zeng Guofan was particularly good at reading people's tempers. If a person's energy is already weak, then no matter how good his appearance is, it will be useless and it will be difficult for him to achieve great success.

Career depends on spirit, people who are focused are more likely to succeed

How a person's career is going depends on your spirit, energy and spirit. These three elements nourish and promote each other, and the relationship between them is particularly close. Essence, energy and spirit are the same as spirit. If a person's spirit can be focused at all times and not distracted, if his attention can be concentrated quickly and relaxed quickly, and if he can maintain a high degree of flexibility overall, then his brain will be very sharp and it will be easier for him to succeed.

Longevity can be determined by looking at the fingers and nails. The hands and feet should be vigorous and soft.

Claws refer to hands and feet. People with fat feet can stand more steadily. On the contrary, people with thin and dry feet are not so reliable. If they can't stand steadily themselves, how can others rely on them?

A person's life span can be mainly determined by looking at his hands and feet. In fact, you can roughly know it just by shaking hands. First, see if it has air. Second, see if the flesh on his hands is soft. Third, see if his fingers are slender. People with short and thick fingers are most likely not scholars, because it would be inconvenient for them to even hold a brush. People with long and thin fingers tend to be more dexterous and have more flexible minds.

The storm depends on the heels, the one who walks steadily is responsible

You can pay more attention to it in your daily life. You can best tell what kind of person he is by watching how he walks. So how should we walk? It is best to walk as if carrying something heavy on your back, because this means that the person is able to shoulder great responsibilities. He has very steady steps and is well-balanced. He always does things step by step. People who are neither fast nor slow are reliable and trustworthy. Nowadays, many people walk crookedly, which makes them look frivolous and not stable at all. In addition, people who walk with their heels off the ground usually don’t live long and are often impetuous. They can complete tasks assigned to them very quickly, but they are not down-to-earth and difficult to trust.

Everyone has to make adjustments on their own, and they must have goals and methods, and they must also know how to adjust in stages. On the one hand, you should adjust your own walking posture, and on the other hand, you should teach your children how to walk properly.
