"Do not ask about the ups and downs of life, just look at the face to know." This is an experience in life, also a part of physiognomy, accumulated experience from daily life, which is called "life as meditation."

"How do you know that someone is gradually becoming poor? Their face looks like it has been washed by water, and their ears are dusty." If we have difficulties and want to cheer up and ask for help, especially regarding money, we need to know what kind of situation the other person is in and whether they have the ability. If the other person does not have the ability or the environment is not good, we should be able to tell if what he says is true or false. Knowing a bit about physiognomy would be very helpful.

If his face has no oiliness at all, looking like it has just been drenched with cold water, and his ears look moldy, with no shine, dark and dull, then his environment is really bad. Even if he wants to help, he is powerless.

If the tip of the nose is dark, it not only cannot help you, but may also be in need of help from others.

"How do you know that someone is gradually becoming prosperous? The cheeks are as red as vermilion, and the eyes shine like stars." If a person is on the rise, and both the environment and mood are improving, then his cheekbones will definitely be smooth and bright. Vermilion refers to pink or lustrous color.

Additionally, his eyes will be full of light and vitality, as bright and sparkling as stars. Eyes also represent one's nature and mood. If they are bright and sparkling, it means that this person is filled with energy and optimism, confident and hopeful about the future. It is easier for him to succeed in his endeavors, and he works harder to build his own success.

Therefore, the book of physiognomy says that this person will "gradually become prosperous," meaning that he is about to step onto the path of success. A person who is confident in himself and hopeful about the future has a much higher chance of achieving success in his career than others.
