Face reading is based on the idea that one's appearance reflects their inner self. By observing a person's face, one can understand them at a glance and avoid making friends with harmful or untrustworthy people. So how can you quickly learn to read faces and avoid bad company? Please follow the fortune-telling website of Huayi to find out.

How to quickly learn to read someone's face

1. The overall structure of face reading is divided into facial features, body shape, and hand reading.

1. Facial features include the five organs, six palaces, three stops, twelve palace positions, and thirty-six parts. In terms of life, facial features play a very important role. Among these, the eyes and nose are considered the most critical aspects for determining fortune and misfortune. Zeng Guofan once said, "The name is in the eyebrows, the status is in the eyes, wealth is in the nose, blessings are in the ears, and completeness is in the voice." Phrases like "clear eyebrows and bright eyes," "nose like a cylinder," and "mouth like vermilion" indicate that the eyes are the field of the face, governing wealth, longevity, wisdom, and intelligence. However, it should be noted that if you want to know about success or failure, there is no better method than practice followed by study, and study followed by practice.

2. In body shape readings, the Five Elements theory is the most reasonable. For example, wood-type people are destined for nobility, metal-type people for blessings, water-type people for both wealth and honor. In form analysis, water is round and dull, fire is sharp and rising, wood is tall and elegant, metal is flat and square. This is similar to the concept of "sand" in geography. However, form analysis is not always pure; mixed forms are common. If someone is round and fat but also has a long, sharp shape, this represents a combination of water and fire. The subtleties of such combinations are explained in classical texts, and practical experience is the best teacher.

3. Hand reading and other related practices involve muscle, bones, texture, lines, and marks, which have their own verification methods. Compared to facial and body features, hand reading is only a reference and not the main focus. Some people talk about hand reading carelessly, which shows their shallow understanding. Other aspects include breast reading, navel reading, skin reading, flesh reading, bone reading, genital reading, and anal reading.

2. Vital energy (qi) and color

Vital energy and color include shades like blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple, and white, which change frequently. They are mainly used to predict good or bad fortune for specific years, months, and days. These colors change depending on one's emotions, environment, and behavior. Exhaustion and sleepless nights can alter one's vital energy. Like weather changes, vital energy indicates temporary gains and losses in fortune.

3. Spirit

Spirit is the internal expression in face reading. It includes temperament, demeanor, and energy. In Zeng's classic texts, there are unique insights into spirit. For instance, those who are clear and calm represent stability, while those who are fierce and angry show intensity. Those who are superficial and short-sighted may appear weak, while those who are dry and weak may seem disorganized. Others may look lost or drunk, sad and resentful, or frightened and helpless. Most of these observations come from practical experience. Spirit reflects a person's appearance and character, governing wealth, wisdom, and moral standards.

4. Voice

"Completeness is in the voice," according to my experience. Generally, those with poor health often have a mismatch between their physical appearance and voice. For example, a tall, strong person with a low, weak voice may suffer from accidents. The voice corresponds to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, few voices are pure; many are combinations. For instance, fire and earth combined, or metal and water combined. Wood types are high-pitched and clear, earth types are dull and slow, water types are smooth and soft, metal types are ringing and bright, and fire types are loud and sharp. Careful observation helps determine gains and losses, as the voice governs longevity, fortune, and happiness, accounting for about 15% of the total assessment.

Therefore, an expert in face reading should not fixate on a single aspect, such as hand reading or eye reading. Instead, they must grasp the overall situation and adapt accordingly, avoiding mistakes in judgment.

1. The "Maiyi Divine Image" is a precious treasure of face reading from the Five Dynasties. Like the classic "Tianmui," it covers various aspects including structure, spirit (especially the "Divine Face" section by Bodhidharma), voice, and color. This book is a comprehensive masterpiece of ancient face reading, a foundational text for future students, and essential reading for anyone studying the art.

2. "The Great Treatise on Human Relationships" and "Record of the Moon Wave Cave." These books from before the Five Dynasties focused on structure and demeanor, but their descriptions were limited and lacked depth.

3. "The Mirror of the Water-Calm Immortal," which is believed to have been studied by Wang Chuan Shan. The "Water-Calm Immortal" was a famous scholar of the Han dynasty, and Zhuge Liang was recommended to Liu Bei by him. This book still focuses on form and contains many historical references, such as Xu Fu's face reading, but its descriptions are generally simple and lack literary value.

4. "Liu Zhuang's Face Reading Method," written by a national master during the Yongle era. This book provides precise interpretations of facial structures and reasonable assessments of vital energy. Its only flaw is the derogatory treatment of women, portraying them as inferior in the book. Applying this to modern women would mean almost all are considered undesirable. Thus, this book is not suitable for modern female readers.

5. "The Iron Knife of Face Reading," which discusses disease-related face reading. This book is quite trivial, focusing more on diagnosing illness than treating it. With today's medical advancements, its value is limited. Moreover, its language is harsh and was written by a physician from the Qing dynasty.

7. "Pingyuan's Face Reading," written by Tang during the Republic of China era. He was well-versed in both Chinese and Western knowledge, emphasizing research and practice. His analysis of structure, voice, and vital energy is as advanced as any previous work. However, his chapter on hand reading is particularly valuable, serving as a pioneering text in modern hand reading. He incorporated Western bone structure and philosophical analysis, making it a high-quality work.

8. "True Principles of Face Reading," a book with elegant writing and rich vocabulary. While it accurately predicts wealth and poverty, its descriptions of demeanor, walking, speaking, and laughing are largely imaginative and filled with clichés. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to it but not to delve too deeply, as it may lead to misunderstandings.

Learning to Read a Baby's Face for Compatibility with Parents

1. Dry and Yellow Hair Causes Conflict with Parents

Features: Some people are born with dry, yellow hair, resembling withered grass.

These people are naturally incompatible with family members. They often anger their parents without reason, and even casual conversations lead to arguments. In short, they tend to quarrel upon meeting. Dry and yellow hair alone indicates incompatibility with parents, and if the hair color is yellow, it suggests incompatibility with all relatives, making it difficult to receive support from friends or family throughout life.

2. Unequal Eyes Lead to Living Away from Home

Features: One eye is larger than the other.

This face shape is not only aesthetically unpleasing but also signifies incompatibility with family members. Even if the relationship with parents is good, due to various reasons, the individual may have to live separately from their parents at a young age, leading to a lonely or dependent lifestyle.

3. Disordered Hairline Indicates Early Self-Reliance

Features: The hairline is messy, with the middle parting sticking out sharply.

Those with this face shape have a particularly poor relationship with their father. Without paternal support, they often have to work early and become self-reliant. However, even if the hair is not messy, if there is a mole in the middle of the forehead, they may experience the same fate.

4. Crooked Nose Leads to Leaving Home

Features: The nose is crooked, leaning to either side.

If the nose leans to the right, it indicates incompatibility with the mother; if it leans to the left, it indicates incompatibility with the father. Family time together is short. However, this is a minor issue. If the nose has horizontal wrinkles, it indicates the person will eventually leave their hometown and emigrate abroad. Even if they have a good relationship with their parents, being away from home means they will rarely see each other.

5. Eyebrows Pressing the Eyes Indicate Cold Family Relationships

Features: The eyebrows are very close to the eyes.

The area between the eyebrows and eyes is known as the "Field of Property," representing the depth of family relationships. If the eyebrows are too close to the eyes, it is called "eyebrow pressing the eyes," indicating a weak bond with family members. People with this feature usually have little communication and emotional distance. If the under-eye area is sunken, they may feel like strangers in their own home. Once they gain independence, they tend to live apart from their family and rarely communicate. Many Europeans and Americans have this face shape.
