Liu Heng's Facial Analysis: Men Prefer Angular Faces, Women Prefer Square Faces
Physiognomy is an ancient Chinese practice that integrates traditional Chinese medicine with the I Ching. This practice enables one to discern a person's character, predict their fortunes and misfortunes, assess the health of their internal organs, and understand changes in their personality and destiny, all with remarkable precision. It is truly a rare cultural treasure from ancient times. Teacher Liu Heng has delved deeply into numerous books on physiognomy and traditional Chinese medicine, gaining insights into the true essence of physiognomy, which he continues to impart to future generations.
A student asked Liu Heng: Teacher Liu Heng, the book states, "Men should have prominent features, while women should have square faces," yet it also says, "A woman with a square face is like a tiger's face and will encounter misfortune." Is there a contradiction here?
Male Features Should Be Prominent
This refers to a straight and prominent nose. A robust nasal bridge is essential; if the nose is low, then the nostrils should be large, and the forehead should be broad. If the forehead is not broad, then the nose should be long. These are considered the prominent features for men.
Female Features Should Be Square
A woman's face should have rounded cheeks. The cheekbones symbolize familial affection and social connections. A woman with full, rounded cheeks signifies fertility, warmth, and good relationships, suggesting she is nurturing and supportive of her family. In contrast, a woman with bony cheeks may be self-centered, lacking in integrity, and indifferent to others, indicating a wasteful character.
Liu Heng's Note: The phrase "A woman with a square face is like a tiger's face and will encounter misfortune" specifically refers to women with high and protruding cheekbones and prominent front teeth. Such individuals tend to be sharp-tongued and ruthless, often disregarding the consequences of their actions. Due to their lack of compassion and integrity, they are compared to tigers or wolves, which may lead to difficulties in their relationships.
