Using Facial Features to Predict Men's Later-Life Fortunes
Ren Zhong, commonly known as the philtrum, is the vertical groove between the nose and upper lip. In physiognomy, its length, width, depth, and curvature are believed to reflect a person’s status, wealth, lifespan, fortune, and whether they will have descendants. Traditionally, the Ren Zhong is thought to correspond to life after age 51. Dr. Zheng has already discussed the Ren Zhong for women; here we focus on men.
1. What does a long Ren Zhong indicate in men?
In physiognomy, a long Ren Zhong is associated with longevity. If a man’s Ren Zhong is notably long, it generally suggests good fortune, robust health, and a long life. Conversely, if a man’s Ren Zhong is very short, it may indicate poorer luck, fewer descendants, and less satisfactory fortune in old age.
2. What does it mean if a man has a heat-related bump on the Ren Zhong?
Dr. Zheng reminds us this isn’t necessarily a health issue; it can simply reflect excess internal heat. However, in physiognomy, a black mole on the Ren Zhong is said to indicate a lifetime of hard work for the sake of one’s children.
3. Is it good if the Ren Zhong is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom?
Dr. Zheng congratulates you: in physiognomy, this is considered a classic lucky feature. Prosperity is believed to increase with age, benefiting one’s descendants and bringing substantial wealth in later years.
4. Is a very wide Ren Zhong unfavorable for men?
Unfortunately, physiognomy suggests that if a man’s Ren Zhong is too wide, it points to impatience, a more irritable temperament, and weaker ties with descendants, which may mean not fully enjoying the blessings of grandchildren in old age.
5. Do horizontal lines on the Ren Zhong indicate relationship problems for men?
Yes. Physiognomy holds that horizontal lines on the Ren Zhong signal issues related to offspring, weaker marital luck, and a more turbulent emotional life.
6. Is it favorable if a man has no facial hair in the Ren Zhong area?
No. In physiognomy, this suggests a weaker bond with one’s parents. It’s important to nurture the relationship with parents and show respect and care for elders.
Dr. Zheng Weijian's Comments:
- Any form of physiognomy is for reference only; nothing is set in stone.
- Today, a person’s fortune is influenced by many factors, such as their BaZi fate, the feng shui of their home, their work environment, the people and events they encounter, and the conditions of the current year, among others.
- In short, consider these aspects with a balanced, systematic approach to avoid overly mystical interpretations.
- Finally, remember Dr. Zheng’s words: adjustment is what matters most, and feng shui is all around us.
