Introduction

This book is a collection of the essence of authoritative works on physiognomy in ancient China. And into modern medicine. The latest research results in anatomy, physiology and psychology. Thousands of example illustrations, easy to understand. Just look at it.

Although physiognomy is a method of observing, identifying, and judging people’s strength, longevity, wisdom, ignorance, goodness and evil, it has long existed in primitive society, but it combines human form with nature and society and becomes a Systematic investigation of the door to infer the theory of birth and death, rich and poor, high and low, good and bad fortune, etc. in the future of life – human physiognomy, is something after human beings have entered a civilized society. According to historical records, Chinese traditional physiognomy was initially formed around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But at that time, professional physiognomy and physiognomy works in the strict sense had not yet come out. From the Warring States Period to the early Qin and Han Dynasties, especially since the Han Dynasty, Physiognomy has become a study with its own unique theoretical system, and there have been a large number of physiognomy books and scholars, such as Tang Ju, Xu Negative (Xu Neg has a “Sixteen Psalms of Physiognomy”). After the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Tang Dynasty, and especially after the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of photobooks emerged one after another, such as “Maiyi Xiangfa”, “Liuzhuang Xiangfa”, “The Complete Chapter of Shenxiang”, “Water Mirror Xiangfa”, “Xiang Li Hengzhen” and so on; There are countless physiognomists who are generally respected by the society, and some accomplished physiognomists enjoy high social status. They even participate in politics as counselors. For example, Chen Xiyi in the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Zhongche and his son in the Ming Dynasty were very prominent in the court. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many cultural celebrities, such as Confucius, Mencius, Puzi, Wang Chong, Li Bai, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Huang Zongyi, etc., have done a lot of research on physiognomy: Confucius and Mencius left behind the adage that few people know people; Xunzi wrote “Neixiang”; Wang Chong’s “Lunheng” has “Xianggu” chapter; Sima Guang’s “Zizhi Tongjian” has “moving phase method”; “When I died” is Su Shi’s poem praising the fortune-tellers; the photo book “Shui Jing Ji Preface” comes from Huang Zongyi’s handwriting. “Lunheng” contains an intriguing example of Confucius: Tantai Ziyu, a disciple of Confucius, has an excellent appearance, and Confucius thought that he had good conduct when he looked at his appearance. But the fact is exactly the opposite, so that Confucius later sighed with emotion: You must be careful when looking at the appearance, the appearance of the heart and the appearance of the spirit are not completely unified!
