公笃相法
This volume focuses on the quick-assessment methods in physiognomy concerning six relations and the judgment of wealth, nobility, longevity, and emolument. It covers the four major kinship palace positions—parents, siblings, wives/concubines, and children—as well as rapid-reference methods for the four major life patterns: nobility, wealth, emolument, and longevity. Additionally, the end of the volume appends the Secret Methods of Adaptability (the integrated application of the four cardinal principles: form, spirit, vitality, and voice), the Discourse on Sleeping Posture (the relationship between sleeping postures and destiny), and the Illustrated Discourse on Moles and Lines (a detailed classification of facial markings and their auspicious or inauspicious judgments).
The entire volume follows the fundamental logic of "palace positioning — feature differentiation — auspicious/inauspicious inference." Each palace position lists positive and negative features with their corresponding conclusions, emphasizing the comprehensive judgment principle of "taking the majority as the determining verdict." The theoretical core lies in the "excess" and "insufficiency" of the four essential elements—physical form, spirit, complexion, and voice—which are weighed comprehensively through a process akin to arithmetic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, in order to determine a person's wealth or poverty, nobility or obscurity, longevity or early death, and toil or leisure.
The quick method for judging the fortunes of one's parents examines mainly nine locations:
The Sun and Moon Corners are the primary palace of the Parents Palace. ☀️ The Sun Corner is on the left, 🌙 the Moon Corner on the right. If the Sun Corner protrudes conspicuously or bears sunken marks, it indicates harm to the father; if the Moon Corner protrudes conspicuously or bears sunken marks, it indicates harm to the mother. This is the first item in examining the parents.
The Hairline is likewise a primary location of the Parents Palace. A low hairline shaped like a trident indicates harm to the father in early childhood; a five-pronged hairline indicates even earlier harm to the father. A hairline that is pointed and drooping in the center with receding sides indicates harm to the father in middle age. Sideburns connecting with the tail of the eyebrows indicates harm to the mother in early childhood; curly and protruding sideburns indicate harm to the mother first. This is the second item.
The Two Temple Corners are associated locations of the Parents Palace. A weak left temple corner, or sunken marks rushing upward, indicates harm to the father first; a weak right temple corner, or sunken marks rushing upward, indicates harm to the mother first. This is the third item.
The Two Ears are associated locations of the Parents Palace. A low and weak left ear, or a left ear with an outwardly flaring antihelix, indicates harm to the father's palace first; the right ear follows the same logic and indicates harm to the mother's palace first. This is the fourth item.
The Two Eyebrows are associated locations of the Parents Palace. A sunken left eyebrow indicates harm to the father's palace first; a sunken right eyebrow indicates harm to the mother's palace first. If the two eyebrows are uneven and of differing heights, this hints at siblings from a different mother (same father, different mother, or same mother, different father). This is the fifth item.
The Two Cheekbones are primary locations of the Parents Palace. A high and protruding left cheekbone that rises upward harms the father; a small, weak left cheekbone with sunken marks also harms the father. A high and protruding right cheekbone harms the mother; a small, weak right cheekbone with sunken marks also harms the mother. This is the sixth item.
The Middle Marchmount (the Nose) is an associated location of the Parents Palace. A nasal tip deviating to the left indicates harm to the father first; a nasal tip deviating to the right indicates harm to the mother first. This item also serves as collaborative evidence regarding the children's circumstances. This is the seventh item.
The Philtrum is an associated location of the Parents Palace. A philtrum deviating to the left indicates harm to the father's palace first and the early appearance of son-star (first-born being male); a philtrum deviating to the right indicates harm to the mother's palace first and the early appearance of daughter-star (first-born being female). This is the eighth item.
The Teeth are primary locations of the Parents Palace. If the front teeth grow irregularly (misaligned), upper teeth indicate harm to the father and lower teeth indicate harm to the mother. If there is one pointed tooth on each side, the upper ones indicate harm to the father and the lower ones harm to the mother. This is the ninth item.
The above nine types constitute the quick method for examining the Parents Palace. All cases involving harm or restraint to one's parents fall within these categories. Take the majority as the determining verdict: for example, if there are four features indicating harm to the father and three indicating harm to the mother, harm to the father's palace comes first; if there are two features indicating harm to the mother and one indicating harm to the father, harm to the mother's palace comes first, constituting a case of "weighted toward the mother." This is the established method.
This passage establishes a multi-location cross-validation system for the Parents Palace. The core logic is not single-location determinism but the emphasis on synthesizing multiple signs—"taking the majority as the determining verdict." The Sun and Moon Corners, hairline, temple corners, ears, eyebrows, cheekbones, nose, philtrum, and teeth—nine major locations—form a three-dimensional observational network in which each location provides mutual corroboration.
In the physiognomic system, the left is yang and the right is yin; the left corresponds to the father and the right to the mother. This yin-yang allocation principle runs throughout the entire system. Whenever a defect appears on a left-side location (low, weak, sunken marks, or abnormal protrusion), it is classified as damage to the father's palace; when a right-side location is anomalous, it is classified as damage to the mother's palace.
From a modern perspective, this system reflects the ancient society's mode of observing and understanding one's bonds with one's parents. What is called "harming the father" or "harming the mother" can be understood in modern terms as: a shallow karmic bond with one's parents, or the father/mother passing away relatively early in the subject's life, being absent, having a distant relationship, or suffering from illness. This is not caused by mystical forces; rather, ancient people, through extensive observation, discovered statistically relevant correlations between certain facial features and family experiences.
Modern genetics tells us that facial bone development is influenced by hereditary factors; moreover, family environment and childhood experiences also leave their traces on one's physiological development. For example, children who lose their father or mother early in life may have nutritional status, emotional development, and endocrine levels that differ from the norm, thereby affecting the normal development of facial bones. Therefore, physiognomic assertions such as "protruding Sun and Moon Corners harm the father" or "trident hairline harms the father in early childhood" may indirectly reflect the actual impact of early family upheavals on physical development.
The division of the nine major locations into primary and associated categories embodies the dialectical thinking of "primary" and "contingent" in Chinese philosophy. Primary locations are directly correspondent; associated locations serve as indirect references. This methodology of clear hierarchy and multi-angle cross-validation shares an unbroken lineage with the Book of Changes' modes of thinking—"interlocking the numbers" and "varying through mixing"—namely, that no single phenomenon suffices as a conclusion; only through synthesizing multiple sources of information can one approach "truth."
The Siblings Palace cannot definitively determine exact numbers, given that earlier losses and injuries may occur that do not fully match standard counts. Broadly, there are four categories: many siblings, few siblings, harmonious siblings, and rebellious siblings. The rest are not considered orthodox categories. Detailed notes follow:
I. Those with many siblings: The two eyebrows are clear, refined, and elongated; the Three Yang regions (below the temples) are full and ample; and the brow heads do not clash. Only the Golden Eyebrow form is difficult to distinguish—the Golden Eyebrow is sparse and scattered, growing straight up and appearing virtually absent; it indicates many siblings and many children as well, and further indicates siblings who are virtuous and noble, offering strength of support.
II. Those with few siblings: The two eyebrows are short, hurried, and disordered, appearing low and heavy or pressing against the eyes; moreover, the brow heads suffer clashes, the glabella (Indentation Hall) is narrow with marks, and the five facial features appear constrained and not expansive. This indicates few siblings and no assistance; even if siblings exists, they are subject to restraint or harm. If the ears have streak-like marks, there will be harm to siblings in early childhood.
III. Those with harmonious siblings: The eyebrows are refined and the spirit is clear—these both indicate siblings of nobility who live in harmony and offer genuine practical assistance. When in addition the two cheekbones rise obliquely in lofty support, and the Border Towns (temple regions) are full and have ridged definition, the indication is harmonious and helpful siblings, through whom lands and property are acquired, the household becomes magnificent, and mutual benefit prevails.
IV. Those with rebellious siblings: Origins that grow backwards, or forms shaped like a spiral shell in one's brows, indicate rebellious siblings. When in addition there are marks at the brow heads rushing upward and lines breaking the cheekbones region, the indication is of rebellious siblings that bring quarrels and litigation, causing much accumulated burden; this can bring loss of property and resultant career worries, possibly separation among relatives.
The Siblings Palace has the two eyebrows as its core observational site, supplemented by the Three Yang regions, the glabella (Indentation Hall), ears, cheekbones, and other sites. The eyebrow form represents the number and quality of one's siblings: clear, refined and elongated corresponds to many and worthy siblings; short, disordered corresponds to few siblings or harming restraints; the direction — acoursing and rebelling — of each brow's extreme-ends along with directions of hair-growth, and the state of harmonious or rebellious sibling bond-types, is directly linked, as summarized.
In the modern family structure, multi-child families are gradually diminishing, yet sibling relationships remain an important life issue. In this regard, that affiliation of "clear eyebrows indicate virtuous siblings" is understanding should logically operate on the lines that mere fine clear eyebrow-form may correspond positively — inferring linear plausible which combines, alternatively, causal relation probabilities into say: robust heredity.
The backward-growing eyebrows or spiral-shell forms correspond to "rebelliousness"—there there the plausible causal-layer relative and analogously one where type-neuro- and species-wide features: For example, given claims of differences among co-arising . Consequently plausible channel-chain ways link to observable correlates such categories: given genetic.

本卷集中论述面相学中六亲关系与富贵寿禄的判断捷径，涵盖父母、兄弟、妻妾、子女四大亲属宫位，以及贵、富、禄、寿四大人生格局的速查方法。此外，卷末附录变通秘法（形、神、气、声四大纲领的综合运用）、卧相说（睡眠姿态与命运关系）及纹相图说（面部纹路的详细分类与吉凶判断）。
全卷以“宫位定位—特征辨析—吉凶推断”为基本逻辑，每一宫位均列出正面、负面特征及其对应结论，强调“以多数为定论”的综合判断原则。其理论核心在于：形质、精神、气色、声音四大要素的“有余”与“不足”，通过加减乘除式的综合权衡，来断定一个人的富贵贫贱、寿夭劳逸。
判断父母命运的快捷方法，主要考察九个部位：
日月角是父母宫的正部。☀️ 日角在左，🌙 月角在右。日角凸露或有陷痕，主妨父；月角凸露或有陷痕，主妨母。这是考查父母的第一项。
发际亦为父母宫正部。发际低而呈三岔形，主幼年刑父；五岔则刑父更早。发际当中尖垂、两侧上削，主中年刑父。鬓发连接眉尾，主幼年刑母；鬓发弯曲突露，主先刑母。这是第二项。
两额角为父母宫连带部位。左额角弱，或陷痕上冲，主先刑父；右额角弱，或陷痕上冲，主先刑母。这是第三项。
两耳为父母宫连带部位。左耳低弱，或左耳廓反轮飞张，主先刑父宫；右耳同理，主先刑母宫。这是第四项。
两眉为父母宫连带部位。左眉低陷主先妨父宫，右眉低陷主先妨母宫。两眉不平、高低不一，则提示有不同母的骨肉（同父异母或同母异父）。这是第五项。
两颧为父母宫正部。左颧高突上起者刑父，左颧弱小陷痕亦刑父；右颧高突上起者刑母，右颧弱小陷痕亦刑母。这是第六项。
中岳（鼻） 为父母宫连带部位。鼻准偏左者先刑父，鼻准偏右者先刑母。此项亦连带应证子女情况。这是第七项。
人中为父母宫连带部位。人中偏左者先刑父宫、先见子星（先生男）；人中偏右者先刑母宫、先生女星（先生女）。这是第八项。
牙齿为父母宫正部。门牙楞生（排列不齐），上牙主刑父，下齿主刑母。两侧若有尖牙各一颗，上主刑父，下主刑母。这是第九项。
以上九种为父母宫考查之捷法。凡属刑克父母，不出此例。以多数为定论：如刑父特征四种、刑母特征三种，则先刑父宫；如刑母特征二种、刑父特征一种，则先刑母宫，或者为“重母”之例。此为定法。
本段建立的是一套父母宫多部位交叉验证系统。其核心逻辑并非单一部位决定论，而是强调多征象综合判断——“以多数为定论”。日月角、发际、额角、耳、眉、颧、鼻、人中、牙齿九大部位，构成一个立体的观察网络，各部位之间互为印证。
在相学体系中，左为阳、右为阴，左对应父、右对应母，这一阴阳配属原则贯穿始终。凡左侧部位出现缺陷（低、弱、陷痕、凸露异常），归为父宫受损；右侧异常，归为母宫受损。
从现代视角来看，这套系统反映的是古代社会对父母缘分的观察与认知模式。所谓“刑父”“刑母”，在现代语境下可理解为：与父母缘分浅薄，或父亲/母亲某种情况显著影响早期之象(relationship with or early loss such) — which may manifest as very distant .

The Children's Palace is centered on the tear hall, San Yin lying silkworm, silkworm bag, and philtrum as the main areas, with the two eyebrows, Yintang, Nian Shou, and eye spirit as related areas, forming an eight-dimensional children's information assessment system. The core logic is: the main areas reveal the survival, number, and successful establishment of children; the related areas reveal the nobility, intelligence, and fortune of children. "Er cheng li" (successful establishment) is the key term—the ancients deeply understood the distinction between bearing children and raising them, so they used "whether children can grow into capable, independent adults" as the standard of measurement, rather than mere birth count.
The "tear hall" refers to the under-eye bag area, and its fullness has a real physiological association with kidney function and fluid metabolism. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that the kidneys are the root of innate constitution and govern reproduction; the brightness or dullness of the tear hall, to some degree, reflects the state of the reproductive system and overall health. This physiognomic link may be founded on this physiological basis.
The saying "one silkworm-bag line, one child" is statistically related to skin texture changes caused by the number of births: physiological changes during pregnancy and child-rearing may leave subtle lines beneath the eyes. Without modern medical tools, the ancients discovered this correlation through long-term observation. Though the logical attribution differs from modern science, the observable fact itself merits attention.
Moderately speaking, the educational quality of children matters far more than their number. "A broad, straight Yintang portends early distinction in children" can be read as: parents with open-mindedness and a calm temperament are more likely to create a favorable growing environment for their children, thereby facilitating their early development.
"Fostered by hidden virtue"—the silkworm-bag lines are regarded as one type of Yinzhi lines, implying that children's fortune is associated with accumulated good deeds. This concept elevates the issue of childbearing from a purely physical level to the philosophical realm of moral causality: the goodness or evil of a person's actions affects not only oneself but also the blessings of offspring. This is a distinctive Chinese "intergenerational ethic."
I. The Fuxi bone reaching the crown and entering Baihui indicates both nobility and longevity. The square Fuxi bone is the highest caliber of nobility, the round next, and the oval next again. In ancient terms: "When the great tortoise enters the brain, one shall be a minister."
II. Slender, upward-set eyebrows full of force imply nobility with renown and lasting accomplishments. Such marks relate to one's mid-life fortunes. In every country, the majority of those who have achieved nobility did so with such brows. "Fame lies in the brows," as the bronze Ding of Old states, and govern eloquence and letters.
III. A square and full Yintang, as well as angular frontal knot of bone across the forehead, is named the Golden City bone; while the Shangen ridge rising points upward toward Yintang is the Jade Pillar bone. Both herald great nobility and exceptional ventures that rise to fruition early. Importance rises and falls on this area.
**IV. The Sun and Moon hornswhose tips set up and approach the top can realize ruler-grade eminence; the Fu Jiao horns doing same confer prime-general caliber, and the Bian Cheng horns realizing mountainous reach speak to province-level principality of noble feudal rule. Quality, thickness, and protrusion versus inadequacy, brevity, and prominence adjust arithmetic benefit from full-stroke appraisal scales for underlying levels that cast, modify further refined exegesis.
V. Eyes filled with vigour, purity, and awe: clearest states—best case noble ringed of explicit degrees. During stability periods divisive lucid ranks all run deeper favor; turbulent, valor wins. The plentiful stored essence lights behind black marks suggest highest noble expressions rooted indeed; during day beyond all depths from dark can high-art achieve each glorious classical shade.
VI. Lifted cheek-horns toward high spatial configuration marks wield command of weight. Straight uptrend of the malar bone in direction toward the finest grains of the sideburn hair displays command position among hierarchical levels or state investiture holders and generals of most consequential of tasks of appointments with wide-scale influence everywhere of frontiers vied against in further effort constantly: The base strength accordingly when complete conducts with importance marked.

Done.The Children's Palace takes the tear hollow, San Yin lying silkworm, silkworm bag, and philtrum as its primary regions, and the two eyebrows, Yintang, Nian Shou, and eye spirit as associated regions, forming an eight-dimensional children's information assessment system. The core logic is: the primary regions reveal whether children survive, their number, and whether they become established; the associated regions reveal children's nobility, intelligence, and fortune. " Establishment" is the key term—the ancients understood well the difference between giving birth and successfully raising, so they measured by "whether children can mature into capable, self-reliant adults" rather than mere birth count.
The "tear hollow" corresponds to the area beneath the eyes, and its plumpness indeed bears physiological connection with kidney function and body fluid metabolism. In TCM theory, the kidneys are the root of innate constitution and govern reproduction. Whether the tear hollow appears moist/bright or dull/dark reflects to some degree the condition of the reproductive system and overall health. The physiognomy precedent linking "tear hollow to children" may indeed be founded on this physiological connection.
The concept "One line in the silkworm-bag corresponds to one child" correlates statistically with skin texture changes from repeated instances of childbirth: physiological shifts due to pregnancy under the eyes, in fact. Ancients evolving circumstances through direct reality out-of-form; modern parallels, perhaps despite due progression further - equally observation relevant worthy attention.

“Earthworm Coiling Around the Dark Pearl” (fine blood vessels coiling in the whites of the eyes) indicates “arduous toil leading to substantial income”—this eye feature is associated with what modern medicine terms eye strain and chronic fatigue. The ancients observed that such individuals often earn their income through diligent work, a judgment that is logically reasonable.
Physiognomy makes a subtle distinction between “Lu” (禄) and “Fu” (福): Lu is the material conditions one can enjoy, while Fu is the mindset and circumstances of enjoyment. One who has Lu but lacks Fu possesses fine clothing and delicacies yet finds no peace; one who has Fu but lacks Lu lives on simple fare contentedly. This distinction reminds us: income level (Lu) and quality of life (Fu) are not the same concept, and the pursuit of Lu should not come at the expense of Fu.
I. Vertical prominence (forehead top) with patterns forming three Fuxi lines, or two crescent lines, or one Huagai line, or multiple lines—all indicate longevity, enjoying a lifespan of eighty to ninety years. If the lines are numerous but interrupted, it indicates longevity with toil, as well as a wandering, unstable life with setbacks from relatives.
II. Both eyebrows raised high with distinct ridges indicate longevity with noble reputation, many children, and abundant clothing and food. If long brow hairs protrude, it indicates long life with much worry, hidden family concerns, burdens from relatives—a long but not leisurely life, a lifespan of toil.
III. Both eyes with clear and sufficient spirit indicate enjoying great longevity with noble reputation, successful career and prosperity. Eye spirit is judged by sufficiency—this is a key point for longevity indicators. If there is earthworm-coiling around the eyes, it indicates longevity with toil; if spirit is sufficient but exposed, it indicates longevity with harm to relatives.
IV. Both ears long and thick with drooping lobes facing the mouth indicate longevity with intelligence, diligence, caution, and endurance. Those who enjoy great longevity never have small, short, thin ears. Internally corresponding to the kidney system, this reveals the thickness of innate constitution, distinguished accordingly.
V. A deep and long philtrum is the primary longevity indicator. The ancients said, "A philtrum one cun long can reach a lifespan of one hundred years," along with many children and blessings in late life. Additionally, law lines curving downward toward the Di-Ku (chin area) serve as further evidence of great longevity.
VI. The neck having three folds (three horizontal lines on the back of the neck, also called “three neck lines”) is evidence of enjoying great longevity. If there is additional excess skin on the neck, the lifespan extends even further. Thus, when an elderly person's neck skin becomes withered and dry, death is imminent.
VII. The mountain root (bridge of nose) rising high and connected upward indicates a thick endowment of innate qi, enjoying great longevity. The mountain root is the root of life. Those with a low and weak mountain root do not reach forty years of age. This is also judged in conjunction with eye spirit.
VIII. The occipital bone prominent, towering and protruding is the longevity bone, receiving the upright innate qi, indicating great longevity. A bone rising behind the ear, also called the longevity bone, likewise indicates great longevity, though it may affect progeny.
IX. Law lines (nasolabial folds) are key longevity indicators: no law lines, under thirty years; half-length law lines, over forty; law lines reaching the mouth corners, over fifty; extending past the mouth corners, over sixty; entering the Di-Ku, over seventy; two intersecting lines, then eighty to ninety. Continuing extension of law lines counts as added lifespan.
X. Teeth aligned, solid, and hard indicate longevity and abundant income. Combined with slow, measured speech with sound emerging from the elixir field (lower abdomen), this indicates great longevity.
XI. In restful sleep, the spirit is calm and still, with breath entering and exiting not through the nostrils or mouth but through the ear passages—this is called turtle breathing, signifying the highest level of longevity.
The eleven items above are all key points for examining longevity indicators, determining exceptional longevity, superior longevity, medium longevity, or inferior longevity based on which features are present.
The judgment of longevity is built upon a dual framework: innate endowment (kidney qi) → acquired physical signs (bones, teeth, lines, breath). The core logic is: The kidney is the root of innateness, governing bones and producing marrow—therefore, whether bones are solid (occipital bone, mountain root, teeth), whether ears are thick and long (ears are the opening of the kidney), and whether the philtrum is deep and long directly reflect the thickness of innate yuan qi. Meanwhile, the extent of law line extension serves as a “measuring ruler” for lifespan—as age advances, law lines naturally extend downward, and the ancients established a correspondence between line length and lifespan intervals based on this observation.
This system of “longevity indicators” contains verifiable scientific elements:
“The mountain root is the root of life”—naming the nasal bridge the root of life embodies the ancients' philosophical understanding of “qi”: the mountain root is situated at the facial center, a key node where qi circulates, echoing the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: “Qi is the foundation of the human being.” Lifespan ultimately depends on the sufficiency of innate yuan qi and the balance of postnatal expenditure—an understanding that aligns completely with the Daoist health philosophy that “following nature gives life; opposing it brings death.”
The essence of physiognomy is rooted in the principle of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Thus, where there is excess or deficiency, one adds or subtracts corresponding degrees to determine wealth, status, poverty, nobility, longevity, premature death, ease, and toil. This is divided into four major categories: bodily structure, spirit, voice, and complexion, which carry the greatest utility. Lines, scars, bones, moles, tendons, and meridians are supplementary to physiognomy and insufficient for definitive judgments. The palms and soles serve merely as auxiliary indicators.
I. Ample bodily structure but insufficient spirit: Indicates that wealth, status, merit, talent, and enterprise may all prosper, but the person will not be long-lived and may die prematurely; or suffer from persistent severe illnesses without longevity; or encounter mid-career obstacles that limit full success.
II. Ample bodily structure but insufficient complexion: Indicates talent and capability, yet circumstances do not assist, bringing many interruptions, incomplete achievements, and repeated reversals. Though there may be a foundation for wealth and status, it ultimately remains fleeting and unstable—a case of being constrained.
III. Ample bodily structure but insufficient voice: Often brings hardship, with fame and fortune remaining insubstantial and yielding incomplete results; or involving doubled effort for half the return, harm to relatives, and invisible adverse influences—leading to discouraged abandonment, toil, and loss—counted as half-fulfillment.
IV. Ample spirit but insufficient bodily structure: Indicates wealth, status, and longevity. One's rise to prominence is extraordinary, and encounters are unusual. There may also be anxious pondering, toil of the mind, suspicion, jealousy, and entanglement in complex complications.
V. Ample spirit but insufficient complexion: Such individuals are talented yet experience mixed successes and failures, toiling back and forth, wandering tirelessly. However, there may be some minor career achievements, satisfactory clothing and food, and longevity with children. At times, circumstantial obstacles and interpersonal burdens may also wear one down.
VI. Ample spirit but insufficient voice: Indicates careers half-successful and half-hindered, within which there are lingering burdens and vexations, deviant behavior and indulgence, leading to persistent severe illness, improper constraints, invisible dissipation, and the influence of slander. Some achieve minor wealth and status but with deficiencies.
VII. Ample complexion but insufficient bodily structure: Allows temporary prosperity with tangible results. Thus, many achieve minor wealth and status with successful outcomes in the majority of cases—though not enduring, prospering primarily through complexion—like a broken ship meeting a favorable wind that allows it to sail the seas.
VIII. Ample complexion but insufficient spirit: Also indicates success and career achievement, though with much severe illness and limited lifespan. There may be favorable timing and excellent encounters, representing lower-mid nobility rather than extraordinary enterprise. One may die prematurely during times of power and privilege.
IX. Ample complexion but insufficient voice: Also indicates sufficient clothing and food, yet with greed, lust, licentiousness, and immoral conduct. Thus, advancement is limited; one gains fame and fortune through reliance on others, builds enterprise through borrowed strength, with mediocre results and unremarkable lifespan—facing mid-course obstacles that hinder progress. Or experiencing deaths in the family that lead to discouragement and passivity.
X. Ample voice but insufficient bodily structure: Allows minor advancement, often emerging through side channels or deputy positions, serving as supporting talent, with abundant clothing and food in smaller roles. There is also the capacity for cooperation and joint effort, often applied to complex enterprises.
XI. Ample voice but insufficient spirit: Indicates many successes along with many failures, and inclinations toward peculiar indulgences. Limited wisdom attempting grand schemes, insufficient strength shouldering heavy burdens, favoring excess with greed, acting recklessly and chaotically. There may also be hindrances from relatives and obstruction from close associates. Yet, circumstances may occasionally bring brief prosperity.
XII. Ample voice but insufficient complexion: Indicates minor wealth and status with much severe illness, or exhausting toil with much hardship. Such individuals are inherently self-confident and proud yet perpetually miss their timing—aspiring beyond convention yet never finding true understanding. There is a turn of fortune in crisis, success followed by sudden failure—a case of seemingly-right-yet-wrong.
XIII. Both bodily structure and spirit ample, while voice and complexion insufficient: Indicates wealth, status, and effectiveness, with intelligence and talent, and a long life despite hard toil. However, one's life does not see major development or startling achievements. Effort is expended in endless back-and-forth without complete results.
XIV. Both bodily structure and complexion ample, while voice and spirit insufficient: Indicates career success, concurrently propitious fame and fortune, with favorable timing and encounters. However, there is abundant illness and misfortune with shortened lifespan—also indicating diminished progeny with harm to relatives. Or being burdened by relatives' constraints with lingering troubles—guard against internal threats. Or experiencing success without good endings.
XV. Both bodily structure and voice ample, while complexion and spirit insufficient: Indicates flourishing progeny with good fortune, yet fame and profit achieved against obstruction—many successes with many failures, uncertain comings and goings, hardship and much toil, many ventures hollow, with doubled effort for half result. Food and clothing are sufficiently abundant, though with deep concerns over external troubles.
XVI. Both spirit and complexion ample, while bodily structure and voice insufficient: Indicates longevity and the potential for advancement, yet without durability or completeness. Name and profit are both favorable, though progeny and susceptibility to illness are slightly weaker. Development tends to emerge through unorthodox paths and timely advantage.
XVII. Both spirit and voice ample, while bodily structure and complexion insufficient: Indicates longevity without severe illness and progeny without great enterprise. There are many obstacles and fame and profit remain insubstantial, with limited success. One brother provides support, and one's children achieve advancement—through which one derives benefit.
XVIII. Both complexion and voice ample, while bodily structure and spirit insufficient: Indicates temporary fame and profit with timely prosperity, yet inevitable failure before long. Also indicates severe illness and harm to progeny—thus premature death mid-course and poor endings. Along with confused errors and inverted behavior.
Summary: Physiognomy accounts for variability—never are all four dimensions completely good without deficiency, nor all four completely bad without benefit. Thus, the distinction is made between surplus and deficiency. Generally speaking: bodily structure governs the prosperity or decline of a lifetime; spirit governs talent, enterprise, wealth, status, and longevity; complexion governs temporary transitions, fortune, and misfortune; voice governs completeness or incompleteness, concerning progeny and children. Combined consideration allows overall assessment. This is an exquisite core method that students must not take lightly.
This section serves as the overarching methodological framework of Gong Du's Physiognomy, proposing a four-dimensional assessment model: bodily structure (physical), spirit (energy), complexion (state), and voice (vibration). Each dimension possesses either “surplus” or “deficiency,” and through permutation, forms 18 typical configurations (2×2×2×2 = 16 combinations; 18 listed in practice, with two subtypes).
The core method of “addition, subtraction, multiplication, division” is not a simple either/or judgment but a comprehensive analysis of weighted trade-offs and factor interactions. A surplus in one dimension can partially compensate for a deficiency in another; simultaneous surplus in two dimensions produces a multiplicative effect; when none of the four is complete, the overall configuration suffers.
This four-dimensional model demonstrates profound structural parallels with modern talent assessment and health management theories:
| Physiognomy Dimension | Modern Equivalent | Assessment Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Structure | Physical constitution/genetic endowment | Long-term stable foundational capital |
| Spirit | Psychological energy/cognitive capacity | Development potential and decision quality |
| Complexion | Current state/emotional health | Short-term performance and timing |
| Voice | Expressiveness/presence | Social influence and relationship quality |
“Ample structure but insufficient complexion”—good structure with poor current state, corresponding to individuals who are “capable but poorly timed” in modern society; “ample complexion but insufficient structure”—good state but thin foundation, corresponding to those who “catch opportunities but lack staying power.” This analytical framework understands “success” as the outcome of multi-factor interaction, not singular determination—highly consistent with modern systems theory.
The metaphor of the “broken ship meeting a favorable wind that allows it to sail” is profoundly instructive: even if the “ship” (structure) is not sturdy, as long as the “wind” (complexion/timing) is strong enough, one can still sail for a distance. It explains why some with weak foundations nevertheless experience meteoric rises, while also implying that such success is inherently unsustainable.
“It is never the case that all four are good without flaw, nor is it ever the case that all four are bad with complete harm.” This view is entirely consistent with the philosophy of the I Ching (Book of Changes): “One yin and one yang constitute what is called the Dao.” Perfection without flaw and absolute uselessness both do not exist — every person is a complex being in whom strengths and weaknesses coexist. The purpose of physiognomy is not to label people, but to help them understand the structural characteristics of their own constitution, so that they may amplify their strengths, mitigate their weaknesses, and act in accordance with circumstances. This non-dualistic dialectical thinking is the fundamental distinction between Eastern wisdom and Western essentialist thought.
Laozi transformed the One Qi into the Three Purities, and transmitted the forms of sleeping. Zhuangzi followed this tradition, dreaming of a butterfly in flight; Confucius comprehended it and sighed at the reappearance of the Duke of Zhou. Chao Fu used an ancient tree as his bed, and his sleep became the more peaceful; Chisong used white clouds as his couch, and his path advanced rapidly. Zhuge Liang, asleep in his thatched cottage on a spring day, harbored the aspiration to restore the Han; Xie An, in high slumber on Dongshan, held the ambition to govern the world; Chen Xiyi attained the Dao while lying down; Li the Banished Immortal composed poetry in his dreams. The significance of sleeping postures is indeed great.
Thus, in light sleep, the spirit wanders and the soul stirs; in deep sleep, the spirit is tranquil and the soul returns. Sleeping has its method, and it also reveals its form. Those who cultivate the Dao have a fixed method of sleeping: one arm bent at the elbow as a pillow, the other hand laid flat across the lower abdomen, one leg bent and drawn up in a posture, the other leg extended straight and level. If ordinary people sleep in this manner, they may strengthen the body, enliven the spirit, and never suffer from seminal emissions, cramps, or any illness of stagnation. Therefore, sleeping posture is related to one's ordinary constitution and is also a method of quiet cultivation and calming the spirit.
The eighteen sleeping postures described individually:
I. Supine Sleeping (Corpse Sleeping): Lying face upward, hands and feet spread level. Indicates weak constitution with light vital energy, susceptibility to chronic illness, and also hard labor and restless toil, unable to bear great fortune. All forms avoid this, except the forms of fox and deer, which do not avoid it.
II. Prone Sleeping: Lying face down on the pillow, back and buttocks facing upward. Indicates severe affliction of relatives and shortened lifespan; also indicates foolishness and clumsiness, greed and delusion ending in emptiness, with much loss and setback. All forms avoid this, except the leopard and tiger forms, which do not avoid it.
III. Side Sleeping: For ordinary people, side sleeping indicates an innate constitution that is well-endowed, with abundant fortune and rank, brilliance and wisdom, sincerity and trustworthiness, observance of propriety without lapse, upholding righteousness without recklessness, with children to carry on the lineage, and signs of longevity.
IV. Curled Sleeping: Like a coiled dragon holding its form, or a curved dog displaying its shape. Indicates wealth and rank with extraordinary undertakings, lofty knowledge and far-reaching vision, ambitious aims and deep plans — the pattern of noble longevity, enjoying blessings from offspring. Thus the classic says: “Walk like flowing water, sit like a bell, sleep like a drawn bow, stand like a pine.”
V. Refined Sleeping: An appearance of tranquility, breath soft and even, limbs not sprawled. The person is kind, broad-minded, upright and without malice, enjoying abundant fortune and longevity.
VI. Martial Sleeping: Hands waving and feet leaping, as postures of a warrior. The person is restless with a disturbed mind, full of plans but hesitant in decision, prideful and competitive, arrogant and greedily deluded, using cleverness to end in clumsiness, narrow-minded and beset with toil.
VII. Head-Cradling Sleeping: Must cradle the head with both hands, or cradle both ears, or both temples. The person is filled with suspicion and doubt, seeing things that are and are not, lacking courage and judgment, changing course midstream in affairs, two-faced in social dealings, encountering much setback throughout life, never reaping full achievement.
VIII. Open-Mouth Sleeping: The mouth is open and not closed, exhalation exceeds inhalation. Indicates a weak innate constitution with hereditary disease, and also indulgence leading to chronic ailments, unable to enjoy long life, harming descendants.
IX. Teeth-Grinding Sleeping: Grinds and gnashes the teeth audibly upon falling asleep. The person is beset with toil, with partial success and failure, or wandering thousands of miles in restless drifting; though wealthy and noble, cannot rest in ease.
X. Glaring-Eye Sleeping (Sleeping with eyes wide open): Knitted brows and glaring eyes during sleep, like a furious countenance in contention. The person is rash and reliant on courage, starting tasks without finishing them, experiencing much decline, affliction of relatives, and failure; also indicates danger — at least injury and chronic illness.
XI. Sleep-Talking Sleeping: Murmuring and repeating nonsense in dreams, noisy and restless. The person is given to exaggeration and greed, and turns cleverness into clumsiness. Also indicates the wandering and instability of the primordial spirit, obsessive preferences and biased views, not enjoying long life, or toiling without accomplishment.
XII. Belly-Cradling Sleeping: Holding the belly with both hands, never shifting side to side. Indicates an innate honest simplicity of nature, steady and honest in dealings, without grand ambition but also free of great worry, with adequate clothing and food.
XIII. Genital-Shielding Sleeping: One hand shielding the genitals — the person is clever but superficial, versatile yet hypocritical, with unstable emotions, obstinate yet prone to obsession. Two hands shielding the genitals — the person is clever but greedy, stingy and narrow, competitive and biased, lewd yet shrewd.
XIV. Buddha Sleeping: Hands joined in prayer, legs crossed full lotus, settled as if seated. The person plants good causes, is most kind-hearted and compassionate, sincere and generous, peaceful and blessed with good fortune, enjoying great longevity, with minor harm to kin.
XV. Immortal Sleeping: Half bent, half extended; half side, half supine; breathing not through the nose or mouth but through the earlobes — this is tortoise breath storing vital energy (guixi cang yuan). Such a person possesses spiritual roots, is unusually intelligent with far-reaching ambitions, heralding great renown and high rank, and enjoys great longevity.
XVI. Ghost Sleeping: Sleeping with a grieving, weeping countenance and waving, stamping limbs. The person lives in cold hardship and arduous toil, brings harm to kin and suffers decline, dies young, solitary and bitter.
XVII. Divine Sleeping: Sleeping with a dignified, authoritative bearing, arms and legs bent as if in a seated posture. The person is loyal, upright, sincere and straightforward, understands reason and upholds righteousness, enjoys abundant blessings with unwavering persistence, brings prosperity of offspring and enjoys longevity.
XVIII. Sage-and-Worthy Sleeping: Bent arm for a pillow, face slightly turned with a stern expression, one leg bent, one leg extended. Such a person is brilliant and wise, far-sighted with persistence, seldom afflicted and enjoying long life, magnanimous and valuing reputation, with sufficient clothing and food.
The theory of sleeping postures is a highly distinctive branch of physiognomy, grounded in this premise: the state of sleep is the most defenseless, most genuine physiological and psychological expression of a person. When awake, one can consciously control expression and posture, but the positions, expressions, and sounds of sleep are entirely governed by the subconscious mind and the innate constitution. Therefore, the sleeping posture is regarded as a window into observing a person's “original face.”
The opening chapter cites the sleeping anecdotes of Laozi, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Zhuge Liang, and other historical figures, elevating “sleeping” to a level of cultivation and wisdom — sleep is not merely rest but a practice of nurturing body and mind and merging with the Dao.
The correspondence between the eighteen sleeping postures and modern sleep medicine:
| Sleeping Posture | Modern Medical Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Supine (Corpse Sleeping) | Associated with higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, possibly causing poor sleep quality and affecting daytimeenergy and long-term health |
| Prone | Compresses the thoracic cavity and face, affecting breathing; long-term prone sleeping linked to cervical spine issues |
| Side | Best sleeping posture recommended by modern sleep medicine, favoring spinal alignment and unobstructed breathing |
| Curled (Bow-shaped side) | Similar to “fetal position,” considered the most natural sleeping posture, conducive to relaxation |
| Open-Mouth | Mouth breathing linked to poor sleep quality, dry mouth, and increased risk of upper respiratory infection; chronic mouth breathing also affects facial development |
| Teeth-Grinding | Bruxism is related to stress, anxiety, and malocclusion; long-term grinding causes dental wear and temporomandibular joint disorders |
| Sleep-Talking | Somniloquy is related to insufficient sleep depth and mental stress |
| Tortoise Breath | Deep, slow breathing correlated with high-quality sleep states, similar to the physiological responses during meditative states |
“Teeth-grinding indicates toil” — In modern medicine, bruxism is indeed highly correlated with psychological stress and anxiety; such individuals are often in constant mental tension, echoing the description of “toil.” “Open-mouth sleeping has a weak constitution” — chronic mouth breathing is linked to structural abnormalities of the upper airway (such as adenoid hypertrophy), which may indeed reflect constitutional issues present from birth.
“In light sleep, the spirit wanders and the soul stirs; in deep sleep, the spirit is tranquil and the soul returns” — the ancients regarded sleep as the separation and re-union of the soul (hun) and the spirit (po): at awakening the soul wanders outward, perceiving the world; at sleep the soul returns inward, rejoining the spirit for rest. This pattern, in the same lineage as the Huangdi Neijing doctrine — “As yang enters yin, one sleeps; as yang emerges from yin, one awakens” — goes back to a fundamental theory. That the sleeping posture can reflect information about one's fate lies in the fact that, in the sleep state, the “true self” becomes manifest, free from the masking of social personae. This is a profound philosophical insight into authenticity and appearance.
The study of patterns, as one of the four fundamental relationships of physiognomy (form, spirit, voice, complexion), is situated beyond these primary relations — it ranks as the first auxiliary within matters of physical substance, and is considered more important than the hands and feet.
Flowering Canopy Pattern (huagai wen): A single line extending to reach the lateral region near the fronto-temporal angle* (biancheng) then turning downward — indicates nobility and longevity. Whether born into an aristocratic family or a humble grass-alley household, the person harbors great ambition and undertakes extraordinary accomplishments. If the line is too short to reach the side of the forehead or curves crookedly, this points af strike against kinsfolk and offspring, along with the decline and fragmentation of familial legacy.
Reclining-Moon Pattern (yanyue wen): Two horizontal lines across the protuberant “southern mountain” from ear-reaching angles, curving below — indicates prestige, nobility, and longevity, yet also far journeys under inclement hardships, and early losses among offspring; children born out of wedlock or from a secondary wife,*however, may attain establishment. If the pattern is short and fails the qualifying standard, interpret it as toil harming others through temper,*attended nonetheless by prolonged life.
Hidden-Rhino Pattern (fusi wen): Three horizontal lines spanning the prominent forehead right across it — indicates a noble’s name and great age; the person carries exceptional mental burdens with many traveling tribulations.
Four or Five Lines (line patterns commonly attributed to the forehead zone): Satisfactory when they are marked by relatively longer extensions to sides regions of temples from which the curved*traject separately moves down past the angles. Short, broken, oblique, hooked, or repeated intermittent *version constitutes what many presages denote as mentally endured,*work-motif involving lengthy crossings and journeys, repeated retributive woundings, meager productive beginnings, tough early chapters into maturity.

Remaining simply overall paraphrase said core principle fully covers continuity and title adequate summary."It is never the case that all four are good without any flaw, nor is it ever the case that all four are bad with complete harm." This view is fully consistent with the philosophy of the I Ching: "One yin and one yang constitute what is called the Dao." Perfect completeness without defect and utter worthlessness without merit both do not exist — every person is a complex being in whom strengths and weaknesses coexist. The purpose of physiognomy is not to label people, but to help them understand the structural characteristics of their own constitution, so as to amplify strengths, minimize weaknesses, and act in accordance with circumstances. This non-dualistic dialectical thinking is the fundamental distinction between Eastern wisdom and Western essentialist thought.
Laozi transformed the One Qi into the Three Purities, and bequeathed the forms of sleeping. Zhuangzi, in the tradition of the ancients, dreamed of a butterfly afluttering; Confucius was awakened to its essence and sighed at the reemergence of the Duke of Zhou. The hermit Chao Fu took an ancient tree for his bed, and his rest became even more serene; the immortal Chisong used white clouds as his couch, and his cultivation progressed with great speed. Zhuge Liang, waking in his thatched hut on a spring morning, felt stirred with an ambition to restore the Han Dynasty; Xie An, sleeping high in the Eastern Mountains, embraced a determination to rule the realm; Chen Xiyi attained the Dao while in bed; the Banished Immortal Li Bai composed poetry from his dreams. Thus the relationship between sleeping postures and one's fate is a matter of profound significance.
In light sleep, the spirit wanders and the soul is stirred, whereas in deep sleep, consciousness settles and the vital force returns to rest. There is a method to the position of sleeping and a form that reveals its underlying nature. The cultivated Daoist practices a specific posture at night: One arm bent at the elbow beneath the head as a pillow, the hand of the other arm laid flatly across the lower abdomen at a tangent to the dantian, a single leg tucked and coaxed toward the lower body forming a soft arc, and forward unbent—the hidden line extends, as long and level as the proper dawn. Ideally one facing an inclined plain would fall naturally asleep in this configuration gradually draw air forth thin. Recovering lost coordination best deeply still direct every strain's cold comfort slip.
If ordinary people were able to sleep, at their periods, following this posture regularly over her health likewise act, mentally energizing another sense, no unforeseen unexpected slips of vital essences (jianbian) followed injuries curling jails alone extended what would appropriately stop retained constipation nor entire body excess caches sprained which to block pathology.Therefore it governs he much stable that counts maintenance of that tender refuge whose chime before action might align thought hum generous soundless vigor quiet — method from ancients clearing broad levelly harmonious memory air constant sleep cycles lasting growth by align.

Border Region Lines (Horizontal wave-like lines from the sides of the forehead to the curving hair at the temples): Indicates leaving one's ancestral home, Being expelled from it can lead to a military career across regions, either prospering in border regions of the country and establishing a career, or prospering in border prefectures and establishing a career. Ancestral Heritage leads to fame, but seeking military rank carries risk. Ancestral industries should be given up to the senior male; reliance upon new, failed sects, whether one is employed close or far away* of harm*.
Upside-Down Moon Lines (Horizontal lines on the Hall of Print that curve upwards): Indicates moderate wealth. A noble line because of protection earned from involvement, connections, rules. Auspicious governance = formal, rich advance that starts during times generally, threatening one location,
due to lines protecting through other lineage or business-related intercession in global destination births lives, achieving honorable hidden truths or later independence. Ancestral inheritance appears weak. In turbulent times, goes from ranking within. Official terms indicating glory might be enforced.
