In physiognomy, the ears are used to assess one's fortune, intelligence, and physical condition. They can also indicate how a person's early life was. The ears can be divided into three parts: the upper part is called the "Heavenly Wheel," the middle part is the "Human Wheel," and the lower part is the "Earthly Wheel" (the "Heavenly and Earthly Edges" are part of this). Based on these, one's destiny, intelligence, and emotions are determined.

I. The Five Elements Associated with the Ears

(1) Metal Ears: Ears that are one inch higher than the eyebrows. People with metal ears have good fortune and are blessed with good luck throughout their lives. However, they may experience loneliness in their later years.

(2) Wood Ears: Ears whose outer edges turn outward. People with wood ears have average fortune, tend to lose ground rather than gain, often work hard without achieving much, and are prone to encountering troublemakers.

(3) Water Ears: People with water ears have thick, round ears that are close to the head and have a hanging pearl. Those with water ears can achieve remarkable feats repeatedly, but they are prone to romantic entanglements.

(4) Fire Ears: Ears with sharp and defined edges. People with fire ears enjoy good health and long life, but they may have children later in life.

(5) Earth Ears: Ears that are large and have a big earlobe, and are red and well-colored. People with earth ears will always meet kind people and have excellent interpersonal relationships throughout their lives.

II. Basic Views on Good and Bad Ears

(1) Thick and firm ears, with soft and long hair, indicate longevity.

(2) Clear and distinct ear contours suggest intelligence and generosity.

(3) Ears that are one inch above the eyebrows mean one will not suffer poverty.

(4) Ears that are whiter than the face indicate fame and reputation.

(5) Hair inside the ear suggests longevity and youthfulness.

(6) Being able to see your own ears means you are under the protection of lucky stars.

(7) A mole inside the ear indicates one can become a teacher or mentor.

(8) Ears that are not symmetrical suggest a difficult and winding life.

(9) Physiognomy cannot see the ears, indicating a life of wealth and honor.

(10) Wide ear openings suggest abundance and comfort.

(11) Ears turning outward indicate extreme poverty.

(12) Thin and forward-facing ears suggest selling all one's land and property.

(13) Wide ear openings suggest a broad-minded and generous personality.

(14) Small and empty ears suggest health problems and worries.

(15) Ears that are close to the head indicate holding an important position.

(16) Ears with flowers indicate wasting away a fortune.

(17) Ears that flap like fans suggest poverty in old age.

(18) Ears that are low in position suggest losing both parents easily.

(19) Ears with small holes indicate having a full bowl of money.

(20) Ears shaped like a "horse post" suggest smooth official career and promotion.

(21) Tiger ears suggest daring business ventures and adventurous spirit.

(22) Earlobes that hang down suggest great wealth and status.

(23) Ears that move together indicate intelligence and flexibility.

III. Enhancing Ear Fortune

(1) The earlobe represents your fortune throughout life. A large earlobe brings blessings. Do not easily pierce your ears, as it may drain your fortune.

(2) The earlobe can change over time. People who do good deeds and cultivate virtue will find their earlobes grow larger over time.

(3) A thick earlobe appears round and smooth, symbolizing good fortune. A thick earlobe also represents good relations with women. If your profession involves women, the earlobe can provide greater support to you.

(4) The ears should also be close to the head. Ears that are close to the head indicate wealth and nobility. When others look at you from the front, they cannot see your ears. This is considered the best.

(5) The ears should not be too prominent, as overly prominent ears lead to hard work and stubbornness. (This article is not an original work, and is provided for reference only. Doing good deeds and performing acts of kindness naturally bring continuous blessings.)
