How Parental Facial Features Influence Children

Why can we read information about a family—especially its prosperity—from a person's facial features? Is the family's fortune strong or weak? Does it benefit the whole lineage or only the current generation? The idea is that parents pass information directly to their children, beginning at conception and continuing through the examples and guidance they provide as the child grows.

Every parent wants to give their child the best environment to grow up in. Many, however, misunderstand what that entails. It is not just about material advantages or granting every wish. Rather, it is about instilling sound values for living. With those values in place, a family's fortunes are more likely to thrive.

This perspective does not come from fate analysis; even interpretations of fate must look back to China's ancient agrarian civilization. A plot of land—in modern terms, a business—requires the sustained effort of several generations to truly flourish. The same applies to family enterprises. Good parents raise good children, and good children bring prosperity to the family’s endeavors.

Ancestral influences are said to appear in facial features in several key areas:

1. The shape of the parents' eyebrows affects the child's forehead. Well-defined brows suggest prudence and wisdom, which tend to give the child a stronger start in life, reflected in a broad, prominent forehead.

2. The shape of the parents' mouths influences the child's eyebrows. Strong, well-formed mouths correlate with long, thick eyebrows in the child; thin or protruding lips correlate with narrower brows.

3. The parents' chin and lower face affect the child's nose. A broad, full lower face is said to yield a well-shaped, substantial nose; a narrow or pointed lower face may correspond to a thinner, more protruding nose.

4. The width of the parents' faces influences the child's brow and bone structure. The broader the parents' faces, the more pronounced the child's facial bones tend to be.
