Understanding People: Seven of the Thirty-Six Techniques - The Mouth

The mouth reflects a person's emotions, sexual life, and vitality.

• A closed mouth signifies a happy and fulfilling marriage.
• People with large mouths are energetic, goal-oriented, enthusiastic, helpful, and generally healthy.
• Those with small mouths are often conservative, passive, cautious, stingy, and have difficulty expressing feelings.
• A protruding mouth indicates strong vitality, ambition, competitiveness, impulsiveness, average communication skills, jealousy, life instability, and a strong sexual drive.
• A recessed mouth suggests poor social skills, conservativeness, negativity, weak problem-solving abilities, a non-confrontational nature, and openness to others' opinions.
• Individuals with thick lips are warm-hearted, empathetic, maintain good relationships, prioritize wisdom over love, and often work in caregiving fields like nursing or social work. In love, they are sincere but may overly focus on physical sensations.
• Those with thin lips are idealistic, independent, less enthusiastic in relationships, focus on personal gains, suited for research roles, and can be frugal in love, often leaving partners feeling uncaptured and sometimes cold.
• People with thicker ends of their lips are gentle, intuitive rather than logical, sometimes overly meticulous, and value inner qualities over appearances in love.
• A thick central part of the lips often indicates a sentimental personality with a pleasant speaking style but may be easily influenced by others. In sexuality, they may seek immediate gratification.
• A prominent upper lip implies strong emotions and prioritizing others, while a thick lower lip suggests high energy.
• A protruding lower lip denotes strong beliefs, stubbornness, self-righteousness, poor coordination, and a willingness to betray others for personal gain. In love, they may appear self-centered, cold, and careless in words.
• Upturned corners of the lips suggest a caring nature, vitality, clarity, positivity, effective communication, and sincerity in relationships.
• Downturned corners of the mouth indicate resilience in facing adversity. Those with tightly closed mouths often accumulate wealth and achieve prominence in politics or finance.
• Downturned lips imply weak willpower and a lack of self-confidence.
• A drooping mouth suggests impatience, low self-esteem, inconsistency, and a focus on short-term pleasures without long-term planning.
• A long, slender mouth indicates responsibility, slight perfectionism, charm, honesty, frequent help from others, strong emotions, and consistent actions.

How Lips and Teeth Complement Each Other

• Bright red lips generally indicate a person with ample resources.
• Women with dark purple lips may experience digestive issues, emotional stagnation, or marital separation.
• Pale lips often signify poor health.
• People with dark purple lips, resembling a chicken liver color, may feel lonely, be childless, or lack trust due to past mistakes.
• Those with bluish-black lips might face extreme poverty.
• People with overly white teeth tend to have frivolous personalities. The phrase "bright eyes and white teeth" describes beauty, but overly white teeth, regardless of gender, can suggest a lewd and frivolous nature.
• Teeth that are white with a hint of yellow and smooth indicate a gentle personality, good health, and longevity.
• Teeth that are white but dry and rough suggest a harsh personality and shorter life expectancy.
• Shiny, yellow teeth may appear weak but indicate resilience and often good fortune. Conversely, dull yellow teeth often signify poverty and frequent misfortune.
• The shape of teeth corresponds to facial size; long faces often have long teeth, while short faces have shorter teeth. A small face with large teeth can lead to many life struggles.
• Very large teeth, referred to as "dragon teeth," suggest that individuals with both a large mouth and sizeable teeth can achieve great successes, enjoy financial prosperity, and earn a strong reputation.
• Neatly arranged teeth with deep, short roots are known as "cow teeth," and individuals with them typically enjoy wealth, longevity, and success for their descendants.
• Teeth sharp like rodent teeth often indicate technical skill and cleverness, but such individuals may face frequent setbacks.
• Many people with protruding teeth are proactive and enthusiastic, often becoming leaders in their fields, and they usually communicate well, have generous personalities, and avoid mistakes in even casual conversations.
• Those with uneven teeth tend to be greedy, may bully others, and can face disgrace from impulsive actions. They have a strong sense of self, yet their thoughts, words, and actions may lack consistency. Some may, however, overcome these flaws through self-improvement and correct their life paths.
• The alignment of teeth can reflect one's posture; individuals with curved spines often also have uneven teeth.
