Qi (vital energy) and blood are essential to life, working together to nourish the body. If we liken the human body to a growing plant, qi is akin to sunlight, and blood is like rain—both are necessary for the body to flourish. Qi and blood can be detected through various subtle signs within the body; by recognizing these details, one can assess the state of qi and blood circulation in different organs. This understanding can help in predicting diseases and maintaining good health.

1. Hair

Hair is closely related to the liver and kidneys. Graying hair can signal a decline in liver blood and kidney qi. If young individuals experience sudden graying along with irritability and a short temper, it often points to liver stagnation and heat in the blood. When combined with insufficient sleep, lower back and knee weakness, and tinnitus, this suggests a deficiency in kidney qi. Significant hair loss and thinning is a warning of overall qi and blood issues. Oily hair indicates a disharmony between the spleen and lungs, where excessive spleen qi and deficient lung qi result in excessive oiliness. The rate of hair growth reflects liver blood; if the liver blood is insufficient, hair will grow slowly and become dry more easily.

2. Forehead

The forehead, situated below the hairline and above the eyebrows, is sometimes referred to as the "forehead." Numerous indistinct horizontal wrinkles here usually suggest an upcoming rough patch, potentially involving accidents or other misfortunes, necessitating caution. People with several horizontal lines on the lower forehead and the upper nose are often enthusiastic, proactive, and optimistic, maintaining a calm demeanor. Those who develop such wrinkles while laughing tend to have a gentle personality but may meddle in others' affairs, often causing trouble for themselves. While doing good is commendable, they should be mindful of their limitations.

Individuals with three vertical lines between their eyebrows may be somewhat neurotic yet are focused, reliable, kind-hearted, and grateful. They strive towards achieving their dreams and attaining their personal goals through persistent effort, thus gaining recognition and status. Dr. Zheng notes that individuals with deep furrowed wrinkles or sparse, unclear lines tend to seek excitement and novelty, leading to unstable lives filled with challenges. They must work hard to succeed and may sometimes act unfairly to further personal interests.

3. Fate Palace

The Fate Palace is a crucial area in physiognomy, located around the Yintang point, between the eyebrows and above the nose bridge. It represents the integration of a person's vital energy and spirit, influencing their basic fortune. Serving as a gathering place for both auspicious and inauspicious qi, a sunken, uneven, or frown-marked Fate Palace could lead to negative experiences by affecting one's fortune. Dr. Zheng warns that frequent anger and frowning can create wrinkles in this area due to muscle movement.

4. Eyes

In physiognomy, the color and clarity of the eyes are also important. Children usually have bright, clear eyes. When eyes are clear and bright, it indicates sufficient qi and blood; if the whites are cloudy or yellow, it signals a deficiency in liver qi and blood. The whites of the eyes are closely linked to the lungs and large intestine; visible blood vessels here typically indicate heat in these regions. Prominent eye bags suggest spleen deficiency. Dry eyes and heavy eyelids also signify insufficient qi and blood, while dull, lusterless eyes signal qi and blood exhaustion, indicating a downturn in fortune.

5. Ears

The ears reflect the entire body, showing changes in almost all organs, especially the kidneys. Physiognomy posits that "large ears bring fortune" as thick, large ears indicate sufficient kidney qi, while thin, small ears suggest kidney deficiency. Pale ears are commonly seen with wind-cold colds or insufficient yang energy, while swollen red ears often indicate "excess heat," usually linked to liver and gallbladder heat or damp-heat conditions. A noticeable diagonal line on the earlobe suggests a deficiency in heart qi. Tinnitus and hearing loss are signs of weak kidney qi. Nodular or cord-like protrusions or dimples on the ears without luster often indicate a decline in fortune.

6. Nose

The nose symbolizes wealth, with the nostrils acting as ancillary indicators. A high, strong bridge is favorable, and a fleshy tip without malice is ideal. High, concealed nostrils are preferable, suggesting frugality and an ability to accumulate wealth. Depending on the nose's features, one may have a "leaky wealth" type of nose, where money is spent quickly with little savings at home. If your gaze is strong and features well-proportioned, this can lessen the negative impact.

Dr. Zheng's Reminder: If your nose is damaged or displays wrinkles, it suggests difficulty in earning or keeping money, as it may be easily spent due to various needs.

Dr. Zheng Weijian's Commentary:

• Physiognomy is the study of interpreting a person's fate through their facial features.
• A person's physiognomy changes over time and in different contexts; thus, we should be attentive to local changes in our appearance.
• A person's fortune is influenced by a combination of factors. Noticing changes in your physiognomy indicates potential changes in your fortune, necessitating attention and adaptation.
