In life, virtue forms the foundation, and one must never act against their conscience. This ancient teaching has been passed down through generations, educating countless ancestors. Sadly, many people fail to grasp its meaning, which is unfortunate. Often, it's only when misfortune or illness strikes that individuals recognize the significance of remorse and reflection, unaware that their daily hearts have not been kind. Teacher Liu Heng emphasizes the importance of awareness: knowing that salt is salty and vinegar is sour. Those who remember their roots are sure to bring blessings to their families. In contrast, those who show ingratitude and repay kindness with hostility will face clear retribution, and their families will undoubtedly experience misfortune. A kind heart leads to a virtuous path, while an evil heart leads to disaster.
Liu Heng’s teachings on physiognomy state that "the face reflects the heart"; a kind heart results in kind actions, and kind actions bring kind rewards. While physiognomy contains many aphorisms, it mainly focuses on facial features, including the five senses, the three facial regions, and the details of one’s fortune over time.
1. Eyebrows raised at the center suggest a rebellious nature and an inability to flatter
Eyebrows reflect relationships and personality. Those with drooping eyebrows typically have a gentle disposition and are internally motivated. On the other hand, individuals with thick, dark eyebrows are usually stubborn and unwilling to yield. Those with eyebrows that rise toward the temples are proud and distinguished, while those with eyebrows raised at the center possess a confrontational nature, often advocating for justice and being straightforward, making it challenging for them to handle situations delicately.
2. A "川" pattern between the eyebrows and nose indicates a lack of support in difficult times
The space between the eyebrows represents emotions, while the tails of the eyebrows reflect rationality. Liu Heng: The area between the two eyebrows, the lower middle of the forehead, and the upper part of the nose bridge is called the "Yintang." If a "川" pattern appears here, it indicates a person with a bad temper who is combative and speaks bluntly without regard for others’ feelings, often offending those around them. Such individuals, due to their rigidity, may find it difficult to raise their eldest sons and may die without anyone attending their funeral. If the tails of the eyebrows have vertical lines and the Yintang has a "川" pattern, they will likely face loneliness in old age, lacking support, with no children by their side.
3. A high forehead signals an early loss of the father, while a broken mountain root indicates a loss of the wife
A high and prominent forehead, resembling that of a longevity star, suggests a foolish personality or someone lost in their thoughts, often leading to the early death of the father. A man with horizontal lines on the mountain root may exhaust his wives; a low and narrow mountain root indicates that a man may harm his wife and a woman may harm her husband. Liu Heng: If the mountain root has horizontal lines, vertical lines, or harmful moles, the signs of harm become evident. A man with many horizontal lines on the mountain root is likely to have multiple marriages, while a woman with many horizontal lines is likely to marry more than once.
4. Thick eyebrows and coarse hair imply a low status
Individuals with thick and coarse eyebrows tend to be rigid and inflexible, causing significant disruption and lacking compassion. They may act impulsively, and although capable of deep thought, they often lack wisdom in critical situations, leading to a life filled with hardships. Coarse and stiff hair that stands upright indicates a lack of family support or wealth, and suggests a stubborn personality that harms their parents, resulting in a background of poverty and low status.
5. A clear left eye and a bright right eye signify an unstable financial future
The left eye represents the present, while the right eye signifies the future. A small left eye suggests unclear current matters, while a large right eye indicates future decisiveness; a large left eye implies smooth current affairs, while a small right eye indicates beginnings without conclusions. If the two eyes are of different sizes or lack harmony, it reflects an unsteady mind, making success difficult to achieve. A small left eye paired with a large right eye, if occurring due to later changes, suggests poor current financial prospects.
6. "If one does not act for oneself, heaven and earth will punish them"
This expression, when taken literally, implies that if one does not consider themselves in their actions, they will face divine retribution. However, this interpretation is incorrect. Teacher Liu Heng explains that this phrase is ancient and differs from modern language; here, "己" can be substituted with "纪," which pertains to the principles of propriety and law. (Liu Heng: Propriety, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trust—those who are benevolent sacrifice for others, those who are righteous fulfill their duties, those who are courteous discern right from wrong, those who are wise are well-learned, and those who are trustworthy are sincere.) The correct interpretation is that failure to adhere to the principles of propriety and law will result in divine retribution.
