Chinese Face reading

[Hellstar]

The Chinese also use the shapes and characteristics of the Five Elements to further describe a personality. A Fire face will be pointy like a triangle. For example, high, prominent cheekbones. They could be quick-tempered. A Wood face is long, rectangular in shape. They could be stubborn. A Water face is soft & round and may posses a long jawline. They can be flexible. Whereas, an Earth face is thick and they may be generous. And, a Metal face is square, especially the jaw & forehead. They can be self-indulgent.

The ancient Chinese also made a distinction between what was considered fortunate or unfortunate for either a female or a male. In order to keep harmony in a marriage what may be desirable on a man was not desired on a woman. For example, high prominent cheekbones and a very high forehead on a woman would not make a desirable mate. That's because high cheekbones indicate aggression & competitiveness and a very high forehead is power. The ancient sages felt it was best that only the man wore the pants in a household.

high board forehead as an indication of a good childhood. a forehead long & wide indicates intelligence & a good imagination. a shiny forehead tells us the person is destined for success & recognition.

brows set quite close to the eyes, could reveal impatience for others, even for the slightest offense.

Face reading has a long history and its astonishing accuracy continues to impress today. The history of assessing human ability, potential, character and future prospects through the study of physical characteristics (physiognomy), stretches back at least 2500 years. Physiognomy has flourished since the time of the Greeks (Empedocles, Socrates, Hippocrates and Aristotle), amongst the Chinese and Indians, with the Romans (Polemon and Adamantius), in the Arab world (including Avicenna), and during the European renaissance (Gerolamo Cardano and Giovanni Battista della Porta). It faded in popularity during the 18th century, was eclipsed by phrenology in the 19th and has been resurrected by PERSONOLOGISTS in the 20th century.

The term personology was coined in the mid-twentieth century by Dr Edward Vincent Jones, a United States Superior Court Judge, who, having dealt with thousands of court cases displaying every conceivable type of personality from genius to criminal, compiled a list of physical traits which he was eventually able to confidently relate to human character and behaviour. He tried to the best of his ability to disprove these correlations, finally accepting only those which seemed infallible


---------------------------------------------


The Forehead

The Forehead can be broadly categorised as follows - A wide forehead expresses your cleverness and practicality - being someone capable of executing duty diligently. This gives you high idealism and a wealth of ideas. A high rounded and deep forehead depicts your idealism, but with a focus on strong friendship. A narrow forehead is considered an obstacle to fulfilment,especially in social situations. Constraints in family life. Need to think things through.

Shallow forehead with a low hairline may cause many obstacles to your career success and parental troubles between the ages of 15 and 30.

Flat forehead gives you a more pragmatic nature, given to factual expression.

Exaggerated forehead reveals you are certainly a dreamer - one who needs to anchor your ideas firmly to a plan of achievement.

The receding or "flying" forehead betrays your impatient and spontaneous manner in life. Possessing an indented forehead is not a good omen for you employment or business prospects. Plan and work carefully. Indented with powerful eyebrow ridge means you are quick tempered, impulsive and ambitious.

A pointed forehead shows your high intelligence if your hairline is set back and not too narrow.

--------------------------------------------------------
The Eyebrows

The eyebrow speaks of reputation, fame and temperament too. In many cases I have found a developed brow line also shows a high degree of dexterity or ability with the hands (engineers, electronics, civil engineers, drafts persons and architects). Individuals who are observant and who have to combine refined measurements with dexterity will have the brow line well developed.

The highly arched or ideal brow often seen in the faces of film stars is described as a dramatic brow.

The low set brow reveals an impulsive temperament whilst a higher brow signals a more cautious attitude to decision making.

A single thick brow over the nose bridge is a sign of intensity and possessive or jealous nature.

A straight brow is the sign of an aesthetic and sensitive temperament.

-------------------------------------------------
The Nose


The intensity of physical action is related to oxygen intake, and the external instruments of the body responsible for that function is the nose. A good sized nose is certainly an indication of wealth too and the capacity to earn money. It shows the attitude a person has to the issue of finances. Ideally the nostrils should be well concealed for the best financial prospects. The ages of 40 to 50 are ruled by the nose.

The Ideal nose has a high, straight, full and fleshy tip with gently flared but protected nostrils.

The fleshy tip indicates cordiality and warmth of personality. Deep empathy with others. Set high standards for themselves and are good mannered (Lailin). Oversized nose tip results in violent tendencies. The larger - the more prone to an act of violence

An Aquiline Nose portrays strong will, independence and enterprise with successful mid years.

An upturned nose betokens a luck in social circumstances and a love of mixing with people.

Other noses may include :-

High bridge & pointed: High degree of energy and very curious mind.
Large: High energy levels but may be more materially concerned than spiritual.
Small: Reserved, shy type.
Thin: Highly strung, on edge and somewhat irritable with trifles.
Wide: Expressive but may develop a devil may care attitude.
Long: Prudent but anxious.
Short: Happy, natural.
Short Snub: Friendly but also secretive. Slow meticulous approach to life.
Straight: Disciplined nature which is methodical.
-------------------------------------------------
The Mouth

The mouth is related to communication, speech and the sensual appetites like eating and sex. The lips relate to our ability to nurture others in loving relationships. If the upper lip is considerably thinner than the lower lip, it reveals an inability to reciprocate in relationships. Conversely, a thinner lower lip indicates an overly giving nature.

Lips which are full, round and even convey to you that the person is caring and sensitive. The upper and lower lips in equal distribution reveal a well meaning and communicative personality.

If the lips are large it means an expensive and somewhat luxurious taste - but an expressive and generous temperament nonetheless. Often the large mouthed person can be very vocal under pressure, needing to verbalise, sometimes excessively, their dissatisfaction and frustration.

Small lips which are also tightly pursed warn of a self centred and mean character. The downward curvature of the lips is an marking pointing to discontent in most matters. You may find it hard to please these types irrespective of what you do or say. Look for upward curved lips which indicate the opposite - someone cordial and optimistic with a sunny disposition. Ex Prime Minister Bob Hawke exhibited the thin downward turned lips.

Narrow lips reveal an unemotional character who lives more or less an internalised life, never able to enjoy the pleasure of sharing deeper feelings.

As well:-

Large lips mean a rich and luxurious taste. Expressive and generous temperament.

Small: Selfish, miserly.
Curving down: Discontented.
Large lips: Hedonistic.
Curving up: Cheerful.
Curved lips: Changeable.
Straight lips: Self-controlled.
Narrow lips: Unemotional.

[GreenHeart]

Thanks for posting all this it has been very interesting! I assessed myself according to what you wrote:

Clever and practical, capable of executing duty diligently. This gives you high idealism and a wealth of ideas. Idealist with a focus on strong friendship. Inability to reciprocate in relationships. I have a highly arched or ideal brow described as a dramatic brow, also a high degree of dexterity or ability with the hands. I am cordial with a warm personality and have deep empathy with others. I set high standards for myself and am good mannered. I am strong willed, independent and will have enterprise with successful mid years. High degree of energy and very curious mind. I have a disciplined nature which is methodical.
I am supposed to have discontent in most matters and a need for much physical activity. I am an individual who is authoritative, and am highly self reliant. I am also tenacious. I am somewhat adventurous and fairly generous. I have a relatively strong need to maintain a good appearance. I'm slightly impulsive and alert most of the time. And finally I'm very concerned with detail.

The best way to be in my opinion
