An Analysis of the Fuxi Nose in Chinese Physiognomy

When assessing a person's facial features, focus on the upper, middle, and lower thirds. The upper third runs from the forehead to the eyes and is said to reflect one’s youth. If this area is high, long, full, broad, and square, it suggests a strong background, a successful career, and high social standing. The middle third spans from the nose to the mouth and is associated with midlife. If it is prominent and fleshy, it implies wealth, longevity, career achievement, and good financial luck. The lower third extends from the mouth to the chin and is linked to later years. If it is well-rounded, upright, and substantial, it indicates a prosperous old age and lifelong blessings.

What Is a Fuxi Nose?

A Fuxi nose is characterized by a full shape with a pronounced bone structure, a broad tip, a straight bridge that extends over the glabella, and a high, firm root that does not sag, giving it an authoritative presence. According to traditional records, a Fuxi nose is considered a sign of great fortune; those who have it are said to enjoy both wealth and status. They tend to be introverted, gentle, kind-hearted, moderate in their actions, idealistic, and highly talented, often with artistic gifts. Their fortunes in middle age are especially strong, with success in both finances and career.
