How to Tell If Your Assets Are Gaining or Losing Value

China is an agrarian civilization, rooted in the land; all resources ultimately come from it. Thus, when people accumulate wealth, they traditionally invest in real estate. The question is: will those holdings appreciate or lose value over time?

In physiognomy, wealth is read primarily from the eyebrows and forehead. A prominent, full “fortune hall” indicates abundance, especially when paired with well-defined eyelids and a broad, open look. A strong philtrum and rounded cheeks and chin suggest greater asset accumulation, particularly in later years. A pronounced philtrum and healthy lip color also point to prosperity extending to future generations.

However, some people may have a well-formed forehead and nose but sunken cheeks, dry corners of the mouth, dark areas beneath the lower lip, and reddened eyelids. These traits suggest their assets may fluctuate dramatically and shrink significantly with age, making it increasingly difficult to preserve wealth.

To foresee potential asset shrinkage within three months, observe the corners of the forehead and the fortune hall. A bluish-white cast with a rough, dry appearance may indicate damaged or deteriorating properties, even forced sales.
