Liu Heng's Insights: Ancient Secrets of Physiognomy (Part Five)

In today's world, feeling out of control is sometimes unavoidable. Navigating a complex society requires distinguishing between right and wrong, loyalty and betrayal, and good and evil. Developing a discerning eye is crucial. Alongside having extensive social experience for sound judgment, physiognomy serves as an excellent guide for understanding people. Liu Heng's ancient secrets in physiognomy can teach you how to recognize, evaluate, and leverage your understanding of others, enabling you to foresee and avoid harm from malicious individuals.

38. Women with dark spots on their cheekbones may have issues with their small intestine

Redness on both cheekbones suggests lung heat. The cheekbones correspond to the small intestine meridian; the presence of dark spots indicates potential small intestine issues. If the cheekbones appear bluish or dark, this may point to problems with the liver meridian.

39. A nose bridge with vertical lines generally indicates hemorrhoids

Horizontal lines on the nose bridge suggest liver concerns. The nose bridge reflects the liver meridian; any discoloration, diagonal lines, or horizontal lines can be associated with liver issues and may indicate wind-related ailments.

40. Women with coarse hair tend to have a strong personality

Hair is closely tied to character. Liu Heng: Coarse hair suggests a strong personality, while lower hair volume indicates a lack of confidence. Hair is a reflection of blood and the essence of the kidneys. Those with coarse and hard hair possess strong innate liver energy, resulting in a firm and confrontational personality that is often unwilling to compromise.

41. Middle-aged individuals with thick hair are often hard workers with narrow perspectives

Individuals with thick and coarse hair in middle age tend to be stubborn and inflexible. Liu Heng states, "A foolish horse has a long mane; a noble person does not value thick hair." Thick hair indicates strong inherent wood energy, leading to a life characterized by hard work, inflexibility, and a narrow viewpoint.

42. Individuals with a triangular face may face loneliness in old age

People with pointed faces often face poor fortunes later in life due to a lack of credibility. In physiognomy, the cheekbones are known as the "palace of kinship"; overly prominent cheekbones can signify ingratitude. A triangular face, sometimes termed a "snake-like face," lacks credibility and kinship, potentially leading to a lonely and impoverished old age, irrespective of prior wealth.

43. Individuals with prominent cheekbones tend to have a strong desire for revenge

This is referred to as "rebellious bone" in folk wisdom, indicating ingratitude. Those with cheekbones that protrude toward the sides of the face are often said to have "rebellious bone." Such individuals typically show ingratitude by repaying kindness with malice and have a strong desire for revenge, particularly toward those who have helped them. Liu Heng: Remember, "A grain of rice given can lead to a fight over a grain of rice; do not overfeed a dog, and do not be too kind to others."

44. Individuals without cheekbones may lead a life of wandering and hardship

In physiognomy, cheekbones represent kinship and gratitude. Individuals without noticeable cheekbones might prioritize profit over loyalty, while those with outwardly protruding cheekbones may respond to kindness with resentment. Liu Heng: "If there are no cheekbones visible, where do guests come from?" A triangular face with weak cheekbones often results in opportunism and a lack of credibility, ultimately leading to a loss of both wealth and relationships.

45. Individuals with fierce eyes are often deceitful or criminal

Eyes that show ferocity are typically a sign of impending disaster; the consequences of one's actions tend to return to them. Liu Heng: "Treat others as you would treat yourself; be upright and just in your dealings." Individuals whose eyes inadvertently reveal evil intentions are likely to be deceitful; such people often demonstrate inconsistency between their words and actions, thus they may engage in deceitful or criminal behavior. It's prudent to maintain a safe distance from them.

46. Young individuals with long eyebrows may be physically weak and prone to illness

Eyebrows reflect the energy of the liver. In youth, if liver energy is strong, eyebrows tend to be short (Liu Heng: the length of eyebrows doesn't refer to their shape). As one ages, liver energy can wane, leading to longer eyebrows, which are considered signs of longevity in older individuals. Young people with long eyebrows likely have weak liver energy, resulting in poor health.

47. Women with large faces may lack filial piety

Women who demonstrate filial piety are believed to have noble destinies in their next life. Liu Heng: The term "large-faced women" encompasses two types: those with prominent nose bridges, who tend to be stubborn and self-centered, and those with large faces and malicious eyes, who are often ruthless and lack any sense of filial duty.
