A Brief Discussion on Foot Physiognomy

In our country's physiognomy, many people discuss face and palmistry. However, the research on foot physiognomy is very limited. The foot mentioned here refers to the human foot, which is mainly composed of three parts: tarsus (instep), plantar (sole) and toes. The following will explore these three units.

1. Instep

Physiognomist Wei Qianli said: The dorsum of the foot should be thick and fleshy. The person with a thick and round instep, with no visible tendons or bones, can enjoy wealth and honor. In ancient times, those young men and women who grew up in wealthy families were mostly used to being served and pampered, rarely walking a few times a day, and most of their insteps had this feature. In addition, if a man has excessive hair on the dorsum of his feet, it is a sign of high hormone secretion. People with this appearance usually have thick hair and eyebrows that are dark and shiny. This is a lucky sign, indicating that he has strong intelligence and physical strength, and is a person who can be cultivated.

2. Toes

In terms of the five elements, from the big toe to the little toe, they are earth, wood, fire, metal, and water. So how do you observe your toes? "Shen Xiang Shui Jing Ji" said: Those with slender toes are loyal, noble and prominent, while those with even toes are heroic and virtuous. It can be seen that the first condition for good toes is that they are slender and straight. Another thing to note is that round and long toes indicate that the person will have sufficient food and clothing and a bright future; if the toes are very pointed and thin, it implies that the person will wander throughout his life and will not be able to save money.

3. Soles

Almost all photo books and notes focus on this point. The soles of the feet should be empty and delicate. The emptiness here means that the two ends are high and the middle is low. Whether it is the hand or the foot, the center part of the palm is called Mingtang. The Mingtang should be concave or sunken, representing being surrounded by mountains and endless blessings. If the feet are as flat as an airport runway, they are commonly known as flat feet. They are not good at climbing mountains or wading through water, and cannot run fast or race. They are mostly mediocre. If it is concave and sunken, it can accommodate a turtle (that is, a small turtle). According to the "Complete Book of Divine Physiognomy", the person whose feet can accommodate a turtle is actually rich and noble, and can be awarded the title of three dukes and a title of nobility, which is extremely valuable.

As for the lines and moles on the soles of the feet, generally speaking, the lines on the soles of the feet are like Han Xin selecting his troops - the more the better. The more vertical lines there are, the more noble the person is; the more horizontal lines there are, the richer the person is. "Shui Jing Ji" says: If there are lines under the feet, there will be great descendants. On the contrary, those without texture (commonly known as coffin boards, a sign of inferiority) are lowly. Moreover, the longer the lines are, the better. Because the lines under the feet are long, the position will be that of a duke or a king (see "Complete Collection of Divine Physiognomy"). In addition to the vertical and horizontal patterns on the soles of the feet, there are also tortoise patterns, bird patterns, beautiful patterns, flower and tree patterns, scissors patterns, human shapes, three-strategy patterns and spiral patterns. The patterns are varied and dazzling. These are all unusual phenomena and are not easy to see.

The so-called tortoise-pattern patterns refer to patterns that are like those on the back of a turtle. People with such patterns will have a good reputation throughout their lives (see "Shui Jing Ji").

The bird pattern refers to patterns that look like flying geese. It can be imagined that the person has very thick soles of feet, which indicates that he will hold an eighth-level position, that is, he can be a simple official or a manager.

Those with beautiful patterns refer to those that look like ears of wheat. Such people will have a lot of wealth.

Those with flower and tree patterns refer to patterns that are like trees with lush branches and leaves. This person can accumulate countless wealth.

People with scissors patterns have fingerprints that are shaped like scissors. People with this kind of appearance can hide a huge amount of money.

If there are human-shaped lines, the fingerprints are like a human shape. This person is very valuable and can surpass thousands of officials.

Having three deep vertical lines, people with this appearance will be blessed with fortune and wealth, and will become dukes, kings, generals and ministers.

If a person has a whorl, he will be rich and noble, and may even be famous far away.

In addition, moles on the feet should not be taken lightly, as there is a story behind this. According to the New Book of Tang, when An Lushan was a small soldier, he washed the feet of Zhang Shougui, the governor (equivalent to the current provincial governor, with much greater power). Discovering a mole on the sole of the foot, Lushan couldn't help but take a few more glances. Shou Gui said: My current fame and wealth are all due to this mole. Lushan disagreed and said: I have three moles on the soles of my feet, so why am I still a follower soldier? Shou Gui hurriedly asked Lushan to take off his boots and look, and sure enough, he promoted him again and again. From then on, An Lushan rose rapidly in career, and became the military governor of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong. Later, he led his troops in a rebellion and even proclaimed himself emperor! No wonder it is said in "Shui Jing Ji": Three moles under the feet represent the power of the nine states. It can be seen that if there is a mole under the sole of the foot, men will be blessed, and women will be able to give birth to noble sons.

There is a lot of mystery under your feet. When you take a bath or wash your feet, if you play with it carefully and take a closer look, you may benefit a lot and get endless benefits!
