柳庄神相
The physical form and temperament of a person always fall within the scope governed by the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each element has its standard physical form, as well as its own variations of fortune and misfortune.
Metal-type person: Square-shaped face, upright ears, delicate eyebrows and clear eyes, well-proportioned lips and teeth, relatively small hands, round and solid waist, fair complexion. Only when one possesses these characteristics can they be considered a pure Metal type. If the voice is resounding and clear like the sound of metal and stone, it signifies great nobility; if the constitution is mixed and impure, it only signifies minor nobility. Metal-type persons should not be heavy and sluggish in appearance, nor should their complexion be reddish. Sluggishness signifies "Metal buried in Earth," indicating a lifetime of hardship; a ruddy appearance on the tip of the nose (the zhuntou) and the Three Yang regions portends disaster—at the least, loss of wealth and ruin of enterprise; at worst, a threat to life itself. Metal-type persons especially should not carry Fire energy. As the physiognomy classics state: The five features should be complete and well-rounded, the three sections proportioned with squareness; when Metal-type persons possess this orthodox form, their reputation for wealth and honor will naturally spread far and wide.
Wood-type person: Should have a lean, upright, and graceful build—tall and slender, with clear eyes, moist lips, and a full spirit; neither crooked, nor emaciated, nor sunken, nor withered; waist round and straight, posture proper and upright—only then can they be considered timber for great beams. If the stature is crooked and emaciated, it is the appearance of a petty person. For one whose sinews bulge visibly and whose bones are jagged and protruding, why even ask about success in official endeavors? It will surely be difficult. Wood-type persons who display slight breadth and thickness may achieve the configuration of "Water and Fire illuminating each other"; if Earth-ruddy and Metal-reddish hues are mixed in, this is not auspicious for use. Wood-type persons with a slight touch of Metal energy may still pursue honor and office; but if the Wood form is thin and the Metal energy too strong, this portends a person of repeated successes and failures throughout life, unable to find stability. The physiognomy classics say: One whose form is lean yet angular, whose bearing is awe-inspiring, who additionally harbors inner elegance, with graceful charm born between brows and eyes—such a person may indeed become a pillar of talent.
Water-type person: Should have well-aligned bones and firm flesh, with a fair and moist complexion, a plump and full physique, and whorled patterns on the face that, when observed, appear like ripples on still water. When viewed in profile, the face should resemble a full moon; the abdomen should be full, and the lower body broad—only then is this a pure Water form. Water-type persons should not have coarse and heavy breathing, dark complexions, or features that are pale as if powdered while appearing puffy. Any Water-type person who has little bone but excessive flesh that appears swollen is destined for an early death; hairless with smooth skin portends no male offspring; flesh that feels icy cold to the touch likewise portends no descendants. The physiognomy classics say: With large eyes and thick brows, the facial contours should be round and full—this is the true Water physiognomy, and lifelong blessings will naturally arrive.
Fire-type person: Pointed at the top and broad at the bottom, naturally restless in demeanor and impatient in temperament; sparse beard and hair, ruddy complexion, and a small delicate nose. Stagnant and dull coloring is unsuitable—brightness and lustrous moisture are preferred. The ears should be reddish and the beard and hair sparse; the abdomen should not be overly large, nor the mouth overly wide. For any Fire-type person, rank will not rise above mid-level office, and wealth will not exceed modest sums—this is not a physiognomy of great riches and high position. Regarding the Fire-type form, among the three sections, the head should be elevated prominently to have offspring; otherwise, sons and heirs will be difficult to obtain. The physiognomy classics say: To recognize the Fire-form person, look for a body carrying pointed features, a clean face, and sparse sideburns and beard on the cheeks.
Earth-type person: Thick and solid in stature, heavy features, strong bones, darker complexion, voice like rolling thunder, short neck, and a round and proper head—only then is this a pure Earth form. The physiognomy classics say: Dignified, steady, and composed like the weight of Mount Tai; thoughtful in deep deliberation, with trustworthiness born within the mortal world. 🔥
This chapter, On Physiognomy, systematically expounds the fundamental position of the Five Elements physical forms in the art of physiognomy. Its core concepts can be summarized as:
In the contemporary context, the Five Elements physical theory of On Physiognomy can be reconsidered from the following angles:
The application of the Five Elements physical theory in modern life is illustrated in the following reference table:
| Five Elements Physiognomy | Modern Image Recommendations | Career Suitability Reference | Health Focus Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal type | Maintain a crisp and upright personal style; attire suitable with simple cleanliness | Management, legal, finance, engineering, and other fields requiring logic and order | Respiratory system, skin condition; avoid prolonged overexertion |
| Wood type | Leverage lean and upright physique advantages; emphasize mental vitality | Education, creative fields, public affairs, and other areas needing growth and expression | Muscular flexibility, liver health; avoid excessive depletion |
| Water type | Cultivate a rounded and approachable temperament; accentuate inclusiveness and communication | Diplomacy, consulting, culture, service, and other fields requiring flexibility and coordination | Kidney and urinary system, edema issues; monitor body fat management |
| Fire type | Control impatience and impulsive tendencies; replace intense energy with brightness | Sales, performing arts, hospitality, and other fields requiring passion and influence | Cardiovascular system, sleep quality; avoid excessive excitation |
| Earth type | Capitalize on the natural advantage of steadiness and trustworthiness; emphasize wardrobe quality | Real estate, agriculture, administration, logistics, and other fields requiring depth and endurance | Digestive system, weight control; prioritize consistent routines |

The physical form and temperament of a person always remain within the scope governed by the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each element has its standard physical form, and each has its own auspicious and inauspicious variations.
Metal-type person: The face is square and well-proportioned, the ears are upright and balanced, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are refined, the lips and teeth are in proper alignment, the hands are relatively small, the waist is round and solid, and the complexion is fair and clear. Possession of these characteristics constitutes the pure Metal type. If the voice is resounding and clear like the sound of metal and stone, it signifies great nobility; if the constitutional pattern is mixed and impure, it signifies only minor nobility. Metal-type persons should avoid a heavy and sluggish bearing and a ruddy complexion. Sluggishness indicates "Metal buried in Earth," signifying a lifetime of hardship; a ruddy appearance at the zhuntou (the tip of the nose) and the three yang regions portends disaster—at the very least undermining wealth to the point of significe—which we express as damaging wealth and wrecking enterprise, and failing that extremity threatening life itself. Metal-type persons especially should not carry Fiery qi. As the physiognomy texts say: When the five facial features are comprehensive and complete, and the proportions of the three sections are properly orthogonal, Metal-type persons obtaining this orthodox form see their reputation for wealth and eminence certainly extend whence wide renown propagates far.
Wood-type person: They should have a refined, hard, straight and enduring, the air framing over others arising physique upon when proper correct certain sense first upright and tall-bodied a graceful and lofty shape; appearing with distinct freshness also enough brightness regarding containing transparent not rigid mind as eyebrows, air, over slight forming near zero proper, with the vital endowment thriving rich lips the later at places etc includes oral concisely; A standard Wood form necessitates dry where portions plainly smooth: It is fine around bodily point framed what constitutes the fullness filled extension wholly considered in line many healthy style. If such alignment commonly fails aspects cropped physically oblique evidently degeneracy emerges concerning the wicked-natured, whom we describe the typical persons.
