The reflection of the five elements in physiognomy

The orthodox academic community has always considered the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements as idealism, and does not acknowledge that it has any basis in reality. In fact, it is not without basis, but the ancients were accustomed to summarizing all changes in things into the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

For example, people with bright eyes and good ears are either rich or noble. Bright eyes make the mind focused, and good ears make the courageous. People with such facial features are daring and smart. Aren’t they the best among men? Also, a square mouth and a straight nose indicate nobility. What makes one noble? A straight nose means a righteous heart, a square mouth means upright behavior, and a person who is genuine in heart, mouth, and behavior is a noble person. Red lips and black eyes mean that one has great ambition and wealth. A clear distinction between black and white in the eyes means that one has a clear mind and will get wealth if he wants it. Red lips and black eyes mean that one has strong blood color and that his qi keeps flowing.

There are also people who are incompatible with each other. People with big ears and thin lips are poor, bold and dare to take risks, but lack luck. They often offend people and attract villains, which increases the risk of taking risks. Therefore, while others succeed in taking risks, this kind of people often fail. A big nose and small eyes indicate loneliness. People with big noses have big minds and ambitions, while people with small eyes express little. In other words, a person has great ambitions but does not express them outwardly, which is of course a kind of arrogance.

People with big eyes and small ears tend to die young. People with big eyes tend to express their emotions, while people with small ears tend to be timid, have great emotional exhaustion, and are particularly prone to depression.

It’s not that physiognomy is without practical significance, it’s just that the methods of expression are different. Ancient philosophy has been passed down to modern times, but because people don’t understand it and haven’t studied it, they say it is idealism. This is not rigorous in terms of social science.
