Understanding Facial Features: What Are Low-Set Ears?

In physiognomy, ears are referred to as the "organs of hearing," and are also known as the two stars: Metal (left ear) and Wood (right ear). The outer ear is called the "helix," while the inner ear is known as the "concha." The ear gate is also termed the "wind gate," and the protruding part of the ear gate is referred to as the "wind block." The area beyond the wind block is the "life gate," and the earlobe is poetically called the "hanging pearl." By assessing the shape, size, thickness, color, and position of the ears, one can glean insights into a person's health, intelligence, and prosperity. Ideally, ear height should be roughly level with the eyebrows, exhibit a bright and moist complexion, have a complete outline, appear thick and fleshy, and feature a broad ear gate. Individuals with these ear characteristics are likely to be healthy, intelligent, and cheerful. On the other hand, small, pointed, thin, and narrow ears can suggest potential losses in property and wealth. Below, we will discuss a type of unfavorable ear shape—low and backward ears.

I. Characteristics of Low and Backward Ears

As depicted in the image above, low and backward ears possess several distinct features: they are positioned lower than average (the top of the ear sits below the eyes) and are firm, with the concha protruding outward. The helix is broken and does not fully cover the concha, and the ears are small and extend forward, not lying close to the head.

II. Financial Vulnerability of Individuals with Low and Backward Ears

A poem from the "Divination of Physiognomy" states: “Low ears, backward concha, and open helix, in youth one is lonely and prone to financial loss. One may have family assets that will eventually be consumed, and in later years, one may die without anyone to bury them.” This implies that those with low and backward ears may face loneliness in youth and be susceptible to financial setbacks. While they might amass wealth in middle age, their soft ear roots may make them easy targets for persuasion, preventing them from holding onto their wealth, leading to a solitary end. Women with these ear traits often have rebellious personalities, a competitive spirit, stubbornness, and a self-centered approach but may become indecisive when challenged. They tend to remain passive in relationships, increasing vulnerability to infidelity.

To retain wealth, individuals with low and backward ears should foster a positive mindset and curb greed to limit chances for deceitful encounters. Additionally, they should enhance their ability to assess others' character and actions. Furthermore, working on changing their stubborn disposition and being receptive to good advice can help them avoid unnecessary detours and troubles, leading to a smoother life trajectory.
