Face and Body reading, otherwise known as physiognomy, has been around for centuries.
Mien Shiang is a 3,000-year-old Taoist practice that means literally face (mien) reading
(shiang). In just moments, one can determine anyones Wu Xing Five Element
personality type their character, behavior, and health potential by analyzing their
face.
The basic Chinese face reading is broken down into 12 categories, each feature as
important as the other, which can tell a practitioner of this art what your past has been and
can supposedly forecast what your future has in stall for you they are:
permanent horizontal lines between the brows; or eyebrows meet in the middle, you may
face a bumping road ahead.
6. House of Siblings (Xiongdi Gong)
Eyebrows and the areas directly above them represent it, and it also oversees your
relationship with your friends and colleagues. The state of your hair has a direct connection
to the physical conditions of your parents at the time when you were conceived, which
means it has a lot to do with your genetic make-ups. Brows that are dark, thick, long,
smooth, orderly and located high above eyes indicate a healthy hormone level that gives
rise to affection, calmness and courage. If they look sparse, thin, pale, short, or chaotic, or
too close to eyes, or marked with a scar, you could be tormented by your own physical or
emotional states.
7. Assets House (Tianzhai Gong)
Your eyes betray your intelligence and temperament, and the very quality of these
dispositions plays important role in your asset acquisition endeavor. Good Asset Houses are
constituted with eyes that are long with large pupils and clear whites, and up-eyelids that
are broad and full. Deep-set or dazed eyes disclose dumbness, while recessed or narrow
eyelids exhibit impatience. If the whites are colored with red streaks, and worse, if the
streaks pass through a pupil, you should brave yourself for a severe storm when your
financial aspect is concerned.
8. House of Marriage (Qiqie Gong)
Being full and smooth in appearance indicates a happy marriage. A receded House however
rings alarm bell on extra marital affairs. If the area bears visible spots, scars, black moles or
messy lines, your marriage could be in serious trouble due to some unscrupulous conduct.
9. House of Children (Ernu Gong)
This area is closely related to cerebellum and also governs your love and sex life, so again,
being full and round is better than being flat or receded. Dim moles or slant lines across the
area are especially undesirable, suggesting some problems regarding your own sex life or
your childrens future development.
10. Health House (Jie Going)
If the House is broken or marked with horizontal lines, or if it is stained with spots, marks
or discoloration, you shall pay extra attention to your health, especially your digester
system.
11. Wealth House (Caibo Gong)
A nose that has high and straight bridge, big and round tip, full and fleshy wings, and
invisible nostrils, not only indicates sound physical health, a positive mental attitude, also
denotes success in career and abundance in wealth. On the other hand, a nose that is low, or
crooked, pointed, or narrow, bony, or with contoured bridge, upturned tip, visible nostrils,
reveal a problematic personality, a troublesome financial situation or a difficult career path.
If blood vassals are clearly visible, or a dim blue color tones the surface, an illness or a
money loss is on the way. When a nose turns bloody red, which is dubbed Fire in Lounge
represents the inner, private self, you can see plainly that your face reveals that you are apt
to feel more anger (inside) than you show (on the outside).
Take a closer look at your ears. Are they the same size? The same shape? Even the
same height?
Its not unusual for our matching features to be different, though most of us do not notice
such differences, on ourselves or on others, unless we are looking for them. If, indeed, your
right ear is bigger, or more prominent in shape or position, it means that you appear to take
more risks than you actually do take.
Interestingly, if our right side features are so much more distinct, or prominent, than the left
features, we will sometimes act out a certain behavior even though it may go against our
inner nature. For instance, some people who have a more prominent right ear find that they
take more risks than they actually feel comfortable taking.
Keep looking in the mirror. See if you can establish how much character and will
you have, how determined you are, how much ego you have, and how outgoing
you are.
Do your features match your feelings? Do you think others see you as you really are?
our experiences, struggling through our difficult times and learning the lessons of
life. We can celebrate them as marks of wisdom that come with age.
Most markings appear on an area of the face that represents the age that the
emotional experience first occurred.

The Face Represents a Chronological Map of Experiences:
left ear rim conception to early childhood
right ear rim mid childhood to adolescence
hairline to eyebrows adolescence through the 20s
eyebrow area early 30s
eye area mid to late 30s
nose 40s
mouth area 50s
chin 60s
jaw 70s and beyond
Facial lines and markings generally appear first on the forehead and work their way down
to the bottom of the chin over the years. Take a close look at your own face, at your
parents, your childrens, siblings, friends and co-workers faces and see if their marks of
passage correspond with their ages.
Using Mien Shiang we read the face by interpreting the appearance of the lines
and marks. We look for placement, size, shape, depth, color and shading of each
line and marking. Lines between the eyes usually appear in the early to mid 30s
and are frequently the first lines we notice on our own faces as well as on others.
In Mien Shiang we call this area the Seat of the Stamp, or Yin Tong, and issues
with father or the dominant parental figure are marked here.
Yin Tong Markings
a single, vertical line can mean that one has difficulty getting or staying
appropriately angry.
a single, but stronger and deeper, vertical line indicates estrangement from father
2 vertical lines means one tends to anger easily
3 or more vertical lines suggest the ability to stand up for oneself and use anger
appropriately.
horizontal lines also represent separation from father, or son, or ones own yang (male)
side, as well as women who were never allowed to get angry
a dark mark, or discoloration, indicates that one is backing off from their power.
The mouth is another area we tend to notice.
Though the predominant lines and markings generally appear in ones 50s, they often occur
as early as ones 20s. Pursing the lips creates lots of tiny lines cutting into the lips, both top
and bottom. Those lines show all the hurts that have been held on to, that have never been
forgotten. They belong to the person who has done all the right things but hasnt been
rewarded for her goodness.
There are so many, many more lines that appear on the face that reveal our
experiences or tendencies. Like the Grief Line than runs down the center or the
cheek, or the Fa Ling Lines that show whether or not we are on our Golden Path.
The telling lines around the eyes that warn us of an inclination for unfaithfulness, or
reveal the pain of unshed tears. As you notice the lines and markings on your own
face, as well as on others, remember . . .
the right side of the face presents the outer, public self, and that it represents the
mothers influence
the left side of the face presents the inner, private self, and that it represents the
fathers influence.
And remember the significant characteristic and trait that belong to each facial
feature. Now look in the mirror and combine what Mien Shian has taught you, so
far, about each side of the face, each of the 12 major facial features, and the
different lines and markings and their placements. Does Mien Shian help piece
together the puzzle of who you really are?

The Basics of Chinese Medicine
The earliest book on Chinese medical theory, The Yellow Emperors Inner Classic,
otherwise known as Nei Jing, by Kwang-Ti, dates back to around 2500 B.C. This book
describes how the Chinese view symptoms in relation to the whole body, not as isolated
problems to be dealt with on an individual basis.
Western medicine starts with a symptom, then it searches for a cause, then it determines a
specific disease. But Chinese medicine looks for the disharmony of natural body energy
and does not seek a specific disease. The Chinese method is, therefore, holistic, based on
the idea that no single part can be understood except in relation to the whole.
The essential ideas of Chinese medicine are simple. They form a basis of discussion of
whats going on in the body. They define the basic landscape of the body as:
Chi: Also known as Qi this is our basic life force and energy, which is formed from
maternal energy in the prenatal state then replenished by food and breath. It directs and
determines the bodys energy state, and it is predominantly either Yin (passive) or Yang
(active) in nature. It flows through the entire body via the meridian network.
Blood: A liquid, Yin in nature that nourishes and maintains the body parts.
Jing: Translated as essence of the body. Supportive and nutritive, it is the basis of
reproduction, growth, ripening and withering. Ongoing development through life
corresponds to changes in the bodys Jing.
Shen: Best translated as Spirit, an elusive concept in the medical tradition. Human
personality and consciousness indicate the presence of Shen, which is the capacity to form
ideas and the desire to live life. Shen is Yang in nature.
Fluids: These are bodily liquids other than blood and include sweat, urine, gastric juices
and saliva. Their function is to moisten and lubricate the hair, skin, membranes, orifices,
muscles, organs and flesh.
Balancing the Meridians
So far, weve learned that Chinese analysis looks at the person as an entire being, not
separate as in Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, practitioners treat the cause of a
problem, whereas those in Western medicine treat the symptoms. Two elements are
incorporated into Chinese diagnosis: the constitution of the person this being the current
condition, which varies each day, month and year and balance. The body needs balance;
we do not want to be ecstatically energetic or tired, happy or depressed. If we are in perfect
balance, then we are in perfect health.
Between the Eyes: Linked with the liver. Check the client for a history of hepatitis,
jaundice and/or liver stress. A diet that is high in fat, and eating late, may cause this area to
show sensitization or flaking. Deep lines from liver stress may also be visible. This is
commonly known as the wine and dine area.
Under the Eyes: Linked with the kidneys. Eyes may be puffy (Yin) or darker (Yang). If a
client suffers puffiness and fluid retention, she or he needs to improve water intake.
Grittiness under the eyes links with an excess of uric acid, common in Yin energy types. A
pale white appearance of the inner lid indicates Yin energy, while a red inner lid area
indicates Yang energy.
Nose: Linked with the lungs. Naturally large and open nostrils indicate strong lungs.
Smaller or flaring nostrils indicate lung stress, allergies and asthma. A long nose is more
Yin, and a small nose, pointing upward, is more Yang. Numerous comedones and oiliness
over the nose indicate Yin energy, which is prone to colds and bronchitis. Redness, broken
capillaries and puffiness over the nose indicate Yang energy, which is prone to allergies,
respiratory stress and sinus problems (hay fever, sensitivity to smoke, etc.).
Cheeks: Linked with the lung area. Broken capillaries across the upper cheeks indicate a
tendency to allergies and sinus congestion. Pustular breakouts in line with the teeth may
indicate sinus or gum inflammation and infection. Comedones and congestion beneath the
surface indicate a Yin condition, while red, inflamed, pustular breakouts indicate a more
Yang condition.
Mouth: Linked with the stomach and large intestine. The upper lip and cracking/dry lips
are Yang and link with stomach/gastric stress. A turned upper lip indicates stomach acid,
indigestion or a nervous stomach (Yang). The lower lip links with the large intestine, and a
pouty, full lower lip links with constipation and poor elimination (Yin).
Chin: Linked with the reproductive organs. Breakouts in this area are often associated with
the menstrual cycle in women. Micro-comedones are often present at the sides of the chin
and may erupt into papules or pustules at the onset of menstruation.
Gui Gu Zi
is the Chinese title given to a group of writings thought to have been compiled between the
late Warring States period and the end of the Han Dynasty. The work, between 6,000-7,000
Chinese characters, discusses techniques of political lobbying based in Daoist thinking.
There has been much speculation about the identity of the writer of
Gui Gu Zi, the origin of his name (literally The Sage of Ghost Valley) and the
authenticity of the work as a whole. While there has been no final outcome to this
discussion, Chinese scholars believe that the compilation reflects a genuine corpus of
Warring States period writings on political lobbying. Most writers doubt the assertion that
the Gui Gu Zi was written by a single personality, Guigu Xiansheng , who
was said in the Annals of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian
to have been the teacher of the late Warring States
political lobbyists Su Qin () and Zhang Yi . A tradition that Guigu
Xiansheng was the teacher of renowned Warring States generals Sun Bin and
Pang Juan is also considered to be a late confabulation. The association of the
name Wang Xu () is not generally held to be supported. There is no material in the text
to support the view held by some that Guiguzi is a book on military tactics.
The contents of the Gui Gu Zi text cover the relationship between lobbying techniques and
the Yin-Yang Theory, techniques of political evaluation of the state, evaluation of political
relationships between state leaders and ministers, psychological profiling of lobbying
targets and rhetorical devices.
There have been translations of Gui Gu Zi into modern Chinese, German and English.
Almost all modern annotated texts and western translations rely heavily on the
explanations of the texts attributed to the Eastern Jin scholar Tao Hongjing .
