What is Phrenology?

Facial science was first recorded in the Book of Rites in the East, and it can be traced back to the ancient Greek period in the West. Face is the scene shown by the human face. It is a science of destiny by looking at a person's facial features.

Facial science is a kind of knowledge in the five Chinese techniques. It mainly judges a person's character and health from the characteristics of the person's face or body, behavior, etc., and infers the fate of a person. Today's physiology and fusion of Western anatomy are basically divided into three qualities: heart nature, bone and bone quality, and nutritional quality. From the complexion, facial features, fat, thinness, and thinness, you can start from these three qualities. And with facial features. (If the three qualities are familiar, you can add the "five elements" in Chinese phase law to classify them.) Phases are definitely not alone, they must be coordinated with the whole, otherwise they will be judged out of context.
The face is recorded very early. "Book of Rites" contains: "If you look above you, you are proud, and below you are sad, and you are treacherous." After Gou Jian leveled Wu, Fan Ye knew that Gou Jian was "a long-necked bird with a beak. "Le", and together with Xi Shi rafted Qi Guo, changed the name to Yiyi Zipi. Others such as Su Qin are "bone nose sword spine"; Xiang Yu is "eyes have a heavy pupil"; Zhou Yafu is "synthetic entrance", the reasoning is the decree, and the term is the reason that the reasoning is the starved death on the lips; Liu Xiu is " Long Jun Ri Kok. "
Xiao Zhuo of the Song Dynasty described Wang Anshi as "beautiful and eager to see things, as if shooting." If he can fix his eyes on the sun, he is considered a noble figure. For example, "Poems of a Hundred Schools of Poetry": It is recorded that Chen Yingzhong "tastes the dynasty, has been in the class, the imperial dynasty is late, the next day shines, Cai Jing pays close attention to the day, not instantaneously. Yingzhong privately said in the same province: 'This public viewing day Instantly, really noble people. '"Shen Fu, the author of Six Chapters of a Floating Life, was also able to" open his eyes to Japan. "
Zeng Guofan was born with a pair of triangular eyes, and everyone was scared. Zeng Guofan himself is also a master of the arts. For example, Zeng's name is Jiang Zhongyuan, "This person must be famous, but he must die with siege." Zeng's diary also records the tactics of the relatives: "Evil is looking at the eyes and nose, looking at the lips in true and false, and his name. Look at the spirit, look at the wealth, look at the finger claws, look at the hamstrings. If you want to look at the method, it's all in words.
I remember once when I went to a friend s house and talked downstairs at her house, I suddenly saw a person walking into the stairwell of her apartment, and I said, 'That guy looks like a bad guy! 'The friend said:' You are so good, he just came out of prison! 'Actually, at such a long distance, I can't see the appearance of that person, but judging by his silhouette and walking style, it is really not a kind.
The above is to tell everyone that a person's "look" is good and bad. A person with a good personality usually has a good-looking face; a person with a ferocious heart usually has a more vicious face. However, the converse is not necessarily true. There is a sentence saying 'face good, heart and evil', which means that looks like a "good face", but the heart is evil; and a sentence saying "face evil, good," says a face that looks 'evil,' but in fact The heart is kind. In short, face judgment requires professionalism and is not so easy. Although, some sensitive people can judge some face analysis by intuition. However, it is not possible to use a comprehensive intuition to judge the good or bad of a face. Professional analysis of numerology is still required.
There are many more important face analysis tools, the most important of which are the five senses, three stops and twelve houses, which are described later.
The origin of face is inseparable from the level of production and science in ancient society. In ancient times, because of their low level of knowledge, people were puzzled by the reasons for "blessings and misfortunes, rich and poor". Some people mistakenly believe that the good or bad of man's "fate" is determined by the "look" and "look" just like everything in the world.
They said that a melon is good, bad, raw, ripe, bitter, and sweet. Just look at its shape and color; you can see how fast and slow a horse is and see if its parts are even and its color is fine. , Look and breath, you know whether it is good or bad. They said that this is also true of people, and their "destiny" is inseparable from "look" and "look". "Looking" is the appearance, posture, and characteristics of the object or person; "look" is the appearance and appearance of the object or person. It is said that this is a pre-arranged arrangement before God is born. Therefore, from a person's physical condition, facial features, etc., one can deduce a person's "fate" and "good luck". In this way, they set some phenomena in the natural world on humans.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official named Shufu, who first used these principles to show people the appearance and became the "star family" of the government. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Dynasty had a Gu Buziqing, and the Liang Dynasty had a Tang Dynasty, all of which were famous "Aristocrats" and "Astral Aristocrats". Because they are good for the ruling class, they have received the support and attention of those in power over the years. As a result, a large number of professional "sisters" and "starring families" also appeared in the folk. After the Han Dynasty, some people compiled books about the technology and experience in this area, such as "Ma-Xi Xiang Law", "Liu Zhuang-Xian Law", etc., so Xiangshu became more and more popular.

Physiognomy

The Five Elements is a material concept in ancient China. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The five elements refer to: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is believed that nature is composed of five elements. With the rise and fall of these five elements, nature changes, which not only affects the fate of people, but also circulates all things in the universe. The Five Elements doctrine holds that everything in the universe is composed of the movement (movement) and changes of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, and water. It is caused by the lack of understanding of the world by ancient Chinese. It emphasizes the overall concept and depicts the structural relationships and movement forms of things. If yin and yang were an ancient theory of unity of opposites, the five elements can be said to be a primitive general system theory.

Facial science is based on the specific "bits" of the face. Each of them represents the age of a stage, and can show a person's destiny and personality. From these two aspects, especially destiny. The aristocrat can determine the fate of the person from a certain "bit" or predict what will happen to him and the accident that year. For example, let's say that the person who told the Xiangshi told the Xiangshi that he was 37 years old, and the Xiangshi would first observe in the 37-year-old place, which is the pupil of his left eye. Facial science is an art as well as a science. When observing the forty-eighth place, you must understand how it developed from the forty-seventh place, and what might happen to the forty-ninth place. What is the important influence? In a word, whether the physiognomy is accurate or not depends mainly on the experience of the scholars. In the beginning, people who study facial science need only memorize the main "bits". There are thirteen of these main "bits". These are the 13 "bits" that run down the face of a person. It divides a person's face into two parts. If the connected lines are commensurate with other parts of the face, this person may encounter better luck in his life. If these "bits" are disordered and he is not commensurate with other parts of the face, he may suffer bad luck throughout his life. Having said that, these are the "bits" of the thirteen parts. In terms of physiognomy, they are also the basis for the analysis of other parts of the face. But then again, this is not to say that these main positions are the only key in physiognomy. In fact, a person's eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and ears are more important than physiognomy. It is particularly relevant to a person's personality and character.
