The First God Bone 

【Original】

Yun Yun: "The valley is the chaff and its essence exists", the word of God is also. "The mountains do not collapse, only the stones are the town." Bone is also called. One spirit, with two eyes; one bone, with a face. His family also talked about the shape of the skeleton, and the literati first looked at the bones of the gods. Straight to the point, this is the first.

【Translation】

As the saying goes: "Remove the chaff that is the shell of the valley, and the essence of the valley is still there." "It's talking about God." Mountains do not collapse, simply because of the stone as a suppression. "It's talking about bone. The spirit and spirit of a person lie all in the eyes; the appearance of a person's bones lies in the face. Others (workers, peasants, merchants, and so on) need to discuss the body and spirit together, and the reader must first observe his spirit and bone, and go straight to the point, which is the most important.

【Explanation】

As the saying goes: "Removing the shell of rice is the bran that has little use, but the essence of rice, rice, is still there and will not be lost due to the wear and tear of the shell." "This essence, when applied to a person, is a person's inner mental state.

As the saying goes, "Although the soil on the surface of the mountain is often shed and lost, it will not collapse and break, because its main part is a rock as hard as steel, which will not be blown away by wind and rain." The "town stone" mentioned here is equivalent to the hardest part of a person's body - bone.

A man's mental state is concentrated mainly in his two eyes; a man's bones are abundant, mainly concentrated on one of his faces. Workers, peasants, merchants, non-commissioned officers and other types of personnel must look at their inner mental state and examine their physical posture. As a reader who is mainly literate, it mainly depends on their mental state and bones. Spirit and bones are like two gates, fate is like all kinds of treasures hidden deep inside, and looking at people's spirits and bones is equivalent to opening two doors. After the door is opened, it is natural to find the treasure items inside, and the temperament of the person is measured. The two gates, the spirit and the bones, are the first keys to contemplation.

The literati talk about God, and there is a clear distinction. It is easy to distinguish between good and evil. If you want to distinguish between evil and right, first observe the movements; if you are still like a pearl, if you are moving like water; if you are quiet, if you are not moving, this is to clarify to the end. Quiet as fluorescent, moving like running water, sharp and like; quiet as half asleep, moving like a deer, don't think deeply. One is a defeat weapon, the other is a hidden stream, both of which are entrusted to the Qing, and must not be distinguished.

Where the spirit is shaken, it is easy to see, and it is difficult to see in the intermittent place. The broken one listens to the source, and the continuant continues in the closed place. The Taoist so-called "tidying up the entrance" theory does not look at its detachment everywhere, but looks at its needle and thread everywhere. Those who are careful, from the point of view of what they can't do, are sparse, and if they are not careful, the so-called omission is also. The bold, from where they have done, are cautious and thoughtful, and there is no scruples, the so-called needle and thread. The two really look inward, and if they move outward slightly, they will fall into a mood, and the mood is easy to see.

There are nine bones: the heavenly court bone is raised, the occipital bone is strong, the neck bone is flat, the horn of the string bone is raised, the sun bone line is raised, the eyebrow bone is raised, the nasal bone bud is raised, and if the cheekbones are not raised, the parietal bone is flat. In the head, the celestial bone, occipital bone, and sun bone are the mainstay; on the surface, the later bone and cheekbones are the mainstay. The five are prepared, and the tools of the pillars and stones are also; one, it is not poor; second, it is not cheap; third, it is slightly victorious; fourth, it is expensive.

Each of the nine noble bones has its own posture: the heavenly court bone is plump and full; the occipital bone is full and exposed; the neck bone is flat and abrupt; the string bone is obliquely upward like an angle, and the real hairline; the sun bone rises in a straight line; the brow bone is cinnamon and not exposed, vaguely like a rhinoceros horn lying there; the nasal bone is like an asparagus bamboo bud, standing tall; the cheekbones are powerful and powerful, but they are not exposed; the neck bone is flat and thick, and it is about to be exposed. Looking at the bone phase of the head, we mainly look at the three key parts of the heavenly garden, the occipital bone, and the sun bone; look at the bone phase of the face, we mainly look at the two key parts of the brow bone and cheekbones. If the above five bone phases are perfect, this person must be the pillar of the country; if only one of them is possessed, the person will not be poor for life; if he can possess two of them, the person will not be humble for life; if he can possess three of them, the person will develop as long as he makes a difference; if he can possess four of them, this person will certainly be noble.

The bones are colored, the face is green as precious, and the "young secretary of state semi-green face" is also. Purple is next, and Bai Si is next. The bones are qualitative, and the head is expensive to the joint. Broken second. In short, there is no evil bone on the head, and the face is not as good as the head. However, if it is large and lacks a heavenly court, it is a lowly product in the end; it is round and has no strings of bones, and it is half a lone monk; the nose bone is frowned, and the hall does not live. The cheekbones fight with the eyes, and the heirs do not stand. There is a distinction between the noble and the lowly.

Bones have different colors, the surface color, with cyan being the most noble. As the saying goes, "the young secretary of state is half green", which is what it means. The reddish purple in the yellow is slightly inferior to the cyan, and the pinkish white with the face is the lowest color.

The bones have a certain momentum, and the head bones are the most noble with their interrelated and momentum penetration, and they are slightly inferior to each other and scattered. In short, as long as there is no evil bone on the head, even if the face is not as good as the head. However, if the head is large and the heavenly bone is not abundant, it will eventually be a lowly taste; if the head is round and the bone is hidden, most of them will become monks; if the nasal bone is flushed with two eyebrows, the parents will not live long; if the cheekbones are close to the tail of the eyes and the cheekbones are overshadowed, there will be no offspring. The difference between rich and poor here is as short as a millimeter and a thousand miles long, which is very large.

The second rigidity is soft 

If you know the bones of god, you should discern the strong and soft. Rigid and soft, then the number of five elements of sheng ke, known as "innate seeds", insufficient to supplement, there is a surplus of drainage. The message and the fate are communicated, which is more obvious to the person.

After having identified the bones of the gods, it is necessary to further distinguish between rigidity and softness. Rigidity and softness is the truth of the five elements of shengke, Taoists call it "innate seed", insufficient to supplement it, there is more than enough to dissipate it, so that it is rigid and flexible balanced, the five elements are harmonious, profit and loss and human fate are connected, this is the information that can be easily found in the comparison.

The five elements have legality, wood and fire, hydration and wood, and this goes along with it. The one who is smooth is rich, that is, the expensive is also between the ups and downs. Gold and fire feud, sometimes fire, push water and soil are the same, this contrary to the combination, its very expensive. However, the so-called inverse combination, the gold-shaped with fire, the fire-shaped with gold, then thirty dead; the water-shaped with soil, the earth-shaped with water, then the widow will eventually grow old; the wood-shaped with gold, the gold-shaped with wood, then the sword will accompany you. In addition, the involvement is a miscellaneous and does not enter the literary orthodoxy.

The five elements have a relationship of mutual enmity and enmity, which is called "union", and "union" has the distinction of harmony and reverse union, such as wood born of fire, aquatic wood, gold born of water, earth born of gold, fire born of earth, this tossing and turning is shunhe. In the phase of conformity, many will get rich, but they will not be expensive, even if they are expensive by chance, they will always float and sink, rise and fall, and it is difficult to maintain permanent. Sometimes fire and gold complement each other, just like the truth that gold cannot be refined without fire, and so on, the relationship between water and earth and so on is like this, this is the reverse union, this reverse combination is very noble. However, in the above-mentioned retrograde phase, if the gold-shaped person has the fire-shaped phase, it is very noble; on the contrary, if the fire-shaped person has the gold-shaped phase, then the age will die at the age of 30; if the water-shaped person has the water-shaped phase, then it will be lonely for a lifetime; if the wood-shaped person has the gold-shaped appearance, it will be very noble; on the contrary, if the gold-shaped person has the appearance of wood, then there will be the disaster of the sword and the disaster of killing. As for the far-fetched statements in addition, they are all miscellaneous models and cannot be classified as the authentic theories of the literati.

The five elements are rigid and soft inside and out. Inner rigidity and softness, moodiness, jumping, depth is also. High and angry, over-the-top, nearly "coarse". Fu is not handsome, jumping is not raised, near "stupid". The first thought is very shallow, the turning thought is very deep, and it is close to "adultery." Adulterers, the name of merit can be expected. Whoever roughly combines each half will win the life of the other. Pure adultery can be open-minded, and its person will eventually become a man. Pure and coarse, not thorough, halfway will be abandoned. Looking at people, there are nine or eight out of ten.

The five elements mentioned above are the external manifestations of people's masculinity and yin and soft qi, that is, the so-called "external rigidity and softness". In addition to the outer rigidity, there is also the inner rigidity. Inner rigidity refers to people's feelings of joy and sorrow, excitement or calmness, and sometimes deep, sometimes shallow hearts or city governments. When encountering happy things, it is unbearable, when it encounters irritating things, it is angry, and once the matter is over, it is forgotten, this kind of person is too masculine, and its temperament is close to "rudeness". When it is calm, there is no bit of arrogance, and when it is excited, it is not high-spirited, and this kind of person's yin and soft atmosphere is too strong, and its temperament is close to "stupidity". When encountering things, when I first thought about it, it seemed to be very superficial, but when I thought about it, I thought about it very deeply and carefully. This kind of person is masculine and feminine, and its temperament is close to "treachery". Whoever belongs to the treacherous people inside are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, can advance and retreat in case of trouble, can bend and stretch, and will certainly have some merit and reputation to achieve in the future. People who are both rude and stupid, both strong and soft, can dominate their hearts, so that they are happy to know the present, so their life expectancy is often higher than that of ordinary people. The pure adulterer, that is, the great treacherous and deceitful, can in turn dominate the rigidity and softness, and when things go wrong, they can often retreat into the advance, in order to comply with the rebellion, and such people will eventually achieve the success of their careers. The kind of person who behaves rudely on the outside and has a rude temperament on the inside is just blindly rigid, and he must give up halfway when he does things. - The above point, that is, "inner rigidity and softness", is often ignored, and it is generally nine times out of ten that this problem is committed.

Third look 

Rong is based on six feet as a device, and the appearance is two instruments. Chest, abdomen, hands and feet, direct five elements; ears, eyes, mouth and nose, all through the four breaths. If the forehead is proportionate, it will be blessed; if the back is like a back, it will be numerous, and the theory of inadequacy will also be.

Where there is a human form, the posture is limited to a seven-foot body, and the appearance is judged by two eyes. The corresponding relationship between the chest, abdomen, hands and feet of man and the five elements--that is, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth--have certain attributes and characteristics; the ears, eyes, mouths, and noses of people are all interconnected with the four qi--that is, the four qi of spring, summer, autumn, and winter," and also have certain attributes and characteristics of them. If the various parts of the human body take care of each other, match, symmetrical and coordinate with each other, then it will bring blessings to people, and if they deviate from each other or crowd each other, making the appearance appear chaotic and fragmented, their fate is not worth mentioning.

Ronggui "tidy", "tidy" is not neat. Short is not tired squatting, long is not mao standing, fat is not bear meal, thin is not cold, the so-called "whole" also. The back should be round and thick, the abdomen should be protruding, the hands should be straight and soft, the curves should be curved and arched, the feet should be plump, and the eggs should be hidden straight, the so-called "whole" is also. Five short and more expensive, two big not yang, heavy high-ranking officials, rats are good, this is a freeze frame. He is like a hand long on the body, a body over the body, with good bones, and the lord is crowned; the ribs are full, the chest has beautiful bones, and he is equipped with a mysterious god, and he does not worship the face, that is, he is crowned.

The precious thing about human posture is that it is "whole", this "whole" is not the meaning of uniformity, but the various components of the whole body of the person should be balanced and symmetrical, so that it constitutes an organic and perfect whole, in terms of stature, the person can be short but not short like a crouching pig; tall can also be tall, but must not stand like a lonely thatch. From the perspective of body shape, the body can be fat, but it cannot be fat like a gluttonous bear; it is also possible to be thin, but it cannot be as thin as a jackdaw. These are the "wholes" mentioned in this section. From the perspective of various parts of the body, the back should be round and thick, the abdomen should be prominent and flat, the hands should be warm and soft, the palms should be bent as the back of the pins should be rich and full, the foot center should be empty, and it is better to hide the egg empty, which is also the so-called "whole". Although the five short figures seem to be unknown, most of them are of noble status, and the legs that grow too long are often ill-fated. If a person walks as if he were carrying a heavy object, then this person must have the fortune of a high-ranking official, and if he walks like a rat, his steps are small and hurried, and his eyes are looking left and right, and his eyes are flickering, he must be greedy for money and profit. These are fixed patterns, tried and tested. There are other patterns: if the hands are longer than the upper body (preferably more than the knees), the upper body is longer than the lower body, and there is a good bone, then there will be a princely seal. Another example is the delicate and soft skin, as if Ayara is spread all over the body. The chest bones are hidden, Wen Xiu is chic, and if you have a very good look, you will definitely have great ambitions in the future.

There is a difference between qing, ancient, strange and beautiful, in short, it is necessary to look at the famous stars and the yin U pattern. The star of the family, thirteen to thirty-nine years old, can be seen at any time; the yin light pattern, nineteen to forty-six years old can be seen at any time. Both are all, and so are the great things; and one is also the same. The star of the branch is seen in the eyebrow color of the Intang, sometimes hidden, or steel needles, or small pills, tastes light, and is easy to see after drinking and when angry. The yin and mole patterns are seen at the corners of the eyes, and the yin rain is seen, like a trident, and is most visible when sleeping. Those who have obtained famous stars are early glory, and those who have dark light patterns are late. There is no question about the future. The yin light pattern is found in the throat, and the Lord gives birth to a noble son; the miscellaneous road is not in this grid.

There are differences in the appearance of people, such as beautiful, simple, strange and beautiful. These four appearances are mainly distinguished by the family star and the yin and yang, which can be seen at any time from the age of thirteen to thirty-nine, and the yin and yang can also be seen at any time from the age of nineteen to forty-six. If you have both the yin pattern and the famous star, you will become a character in the future, and if you can get one of them, you will also be rich. The famous star appears between the seal hall and the eyebrow color, sometimes appears, sometimes hides, sometimes shaped like a steel needle, sometimes like a small ball, is a kind of red light and purple qi. It is easy to see after drinking and when angry, and the yin light pattern appears in the corner of the eye, and can be seen when it is dark or rainy, like a three-strand fork. It is easiest to see when a person is about to fall asleep. Those who have famous stars will develop glory when they are young, and those who have yin and light patterns will have a later time to start. If you don't have both, don't ask about the future. In addition, if the mingqi pattern appears in the throat area, the owner is pleased with Takako. If the stripes appear in other parts, it cannot be concluded that it is not necessarily a noble child.

The abyss of the eye is not deep, but it is not clear. The nose is the face of the mountain, not high is not good. The mouth is wide and square, and there are many teeth and round wood food. The corners of the eyes are in the sideburns, and the name of the executioner will be palmed. The top is seen in the face, the final division Qiangu: out of the blame for the march also. The tongue is fat and unofficial, and the orange peel is not visible. The literati have injured the left eye, and the eagle nose moves to eat people: this sign is also.

People's eyes are like two waterholes on the face, and if the spirit is not deep and subtle, the face will not be clear and clear. The nose is like a mountain range supporting the face, the bridge of the nose is not straight, the quasi-head is not a school, and the face will not appear clever and intelligent. The mouth is wide and square, the owner has a thousand bells of blessings, and the teeth are small and round, suitable for developing a career in other places. Whoever has long eyes and broadcasts them to the sideburns will have great judicial power, and the bald hair will be tied to the denomination, and the boundary will be infinite, and he will be able to hold the financial power. Stutterers have no official fortunes. People with rough facial skin like orange peels will not develop. If the literati had injuries to their left eye, then Wenxing would fall and do nothing. A person with a nose like a hawk's beak must have a sinister and vicious heart, and he likes to hurt people, and these are all signs of poverty ( later) .

Fourth modality

【Original】  

Those who are good-looking, in addition to the bones, often lack of bones. The mood of the person, in addition to God, often makes up for God's deficiencies. After a long time of looking at the spirit of people, at first glance, I saw the current human attitude. Everyone behaves shyly and well; children hide, jumping and screaming. The general purpose also discerns the turbidity, and discusses the trade-offs in detail.

A person's appearance is the afterglow of their skeletal state and can often compensate for bone defects. The mood is the flow of the spirit, often able to make up for the lack of spirit. For a long time, we must pay attention to the spirit of looking into; at first glance, we must first look at the human situation. All the behaviors and actions of everyone, such as high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and shuoru and high-rise, even if they are shy, are a good look; and all the behaviors of children, such as the cries, laughter, jumping and shouting of the small people in the city, are more pretentious, but the more childish and vulgar they appear. Looking at people's mood, of course, it is necessary to distinguish the turbidity of the large place, and for the details, it is necessary not only to distinguish the turbidity, but also to distinguish the main and secondary to make a choice.

There are weak states, there are frenzies, there are lazy states, there are circumlocutions. Birds depend on people, affection is gentle, this weak state also. No clothes, no shoes, no one around, this madness is also. Sit still, ask and answer casually, and this slackness also. Decorate the machine, do not smile, observe the color, and avoid the evil, then the circumference is also. All of them are repaid, and they cannot be corrected. Weak and not flattering, crazy but not noisy, lazy and sincere, circumventive and healthy, can become a tool; conversely, scum also. Probably two or three.

There are four common moods: euphemistic and weak weak state, wild and uninhibited frenzy, sluggish and lazy lazy state, and smooth and thoughtful circle of communication. Such as a bird clinging to it, affectionate and gentle, delicate and kind, this is the weak state; the clothes are not neat, not trim, the arrogance is arrogant, the eyes are empty, if there is no one around, this is the frenzy; do what you want to do, how you want to say it, regardless of the occasion, no matter what is appropriate, this is the lazy state; hide the mind deeply, observe the color everywhere, avoid the evil in everything, and make contact with people smoothly and thoughtfully, this is the circumference. These situations all come from the true truth of the heart, and are not arbitrarily fabricated by people. Euphemisms and weaknesses without being melodious, wild and uninhibited without being noisy and noisy, slacking and lazy but frank and innocent, communicating round but strong and powerful, can all become useful materials in the future; on the contrary, euphemisms and weaknesses and melodious flattery, wild and uninhibited and noisy, sluggish and lazy but not honest and innocent, and sleek but not strong and heroic, will all become useless waste in the future. The mood is uncertain and difficult to grasp accurately, but as long as you see the general situation, who will become useful materials in the future, who will be regarded as useless waste, can also see a two or three percent.

The former is constant and tense. There are dialogues in the fang, and there are kinds of sudden directions; the parties praise the words, this lone sneer; the exploration is difficult to approach, insufficient and argumentative. Words do not have to be proper, extremely verbal, failure to hand over this person, deliberate slander; despicable and shameful, insufficient and argumentative. Careless, late to return; not very emotional, but also a tear. The kindness of a woman is not enough to talk to the heart. Three do not necessarily mean a lifetime. On the contrary, you can hand over the world to the earth.

The previous chapter refers to the state of affairs that often occur in people's lives, called "constant state". In addition to this, there are several modalities, which do not appear frequently, called "tenses". For example, when he was talking to someone, he suddenly turned his gaze and thoughts to other places, which showed that such a person was insincere; while everyone was laughing and laughing, he was sneering indifferently on the side, which showed that this kind of person was cold and unsympathetic. This kind of person has a deep heart and sinister intentions, and cannot establish friendship with them; the opinions expressed by others may not be completely appropriate, but he echoes them from the sidelines, which shows that this person has no definite opinion; he has not yet dealt with this person, but he has maliciously slandered and slandered others behind his back, which shows that this person is open-mouthed and irresponsible. Such people are vulgar and vulgar, despicable and shameful, and cannot cooperate with them; they do not say anything when they encounter anything, and when the matter comes to an end, they hesitate and hesitate, which shows that this person is indecisive; when he encounters a thing that is not worth moving his feelings at all, he is sad and tearful, and he is moved by emotion, which shows that this person lacks reason. The kindness of such people is purely "the benevolence of women" and cannot be reconciled with them. However, the above three moods may not necessarily determine a person's lifelong fate. If you can ask for the above three kinds of people, then you can almost make friends with people all over the world.

Fifth eyebrow 

"Man with Eyebrows". Those who do not have eyebrows and do not have a manhood. "The teenager has two eyebrows, and the old man has to pay." This statement is born early, and the Lord's late luck is also required. However, the purple face does not need to be self-exalted, and the cheeks are lacking in beards: Guo Linggong's half is incomplete, and Huo Xiaoxiao has a widowed face. After all, there are those who have eyebrows, nine times out of ten.

People often say "bearded eyebrow man", which is synonymous with bearded eyebrow as a man. In fact, it is true, because I have not yet met a man who has neither a beard nor an eyebrow. People often say: "The young man has two eyebrows, and the old man pays for the beard." These two sentences say that the fate of a person when he is a teenager depends on the appearance of his eyebrows, while the luck of his later years is mainly based on his beard. However, there are exceptions: the face is purple, and even if there is no beard, the status will be noble; those with two cheeks protruding, even if the beard is sparse, can also be famous; Guo Ziyi, although his beard is sparse, is an extremely popular subject and rich in the world; Huo Zhiyi, although he has no beard, is just a widowed face, but he has made great achievements in the world. However, this situation is only accidental, after all, people with beards and eyebrows account for more than 90 percent.

Eyebrows are still colorful, colored, and the wonderful reflection is also. Noble people have three layers of color, and there are one or two layers. The so-called "civilized weather" should not be condensed. One look has the potential to dance in the wind, up also; such as the ink splasher, the bottom. The upside-down, the upswing, the drooping, the lowest. Long has ups and downs, short has spirit; thick avoid floating light, light avoid dry rope. Like the sword, he holds the power of the army, and the broom goes to the Fache. There are also examples in this, which must not be discerned. But if the eye pressure is unfavorable, scattered and superior, thin and charming, thick and unwritten, it is the most inferior.

Eyebrows advocate brilliance, and the so-called brilliance is the bright light that flashes from the eyebrow elimination. Rich people, his eyebrows outside the root, the middle, the tip of the three layers of brilliance, of course, some only two layers, some only one layer, usually referred to as the "image of civilization" refers to the eyebrows to be dense and effective, beautiful and moist, not thick and dull, thin and dense. From a distance, like two phoenixes soaring in the wind, like a pair of dragons flying in the wind, this is the best eyebrow. If it is like a cloud of scattered ink, it is the lowest eyebrow. The eyebrows are upside down, inverted figure-eight shape, which is a good eyebrow shape. And the eyebrows are drooping, shaped in figure eight, it is inferior, if the eyebrows are relatively long, there must be undulations, if they are shorter, they should be high-spirited, if the eyebrows are thick, there should be no floating light, if the eyebrows are light, do not shape like a dry rope. If the double eyebrows are like two sharp swords, they will surely become the generals who lead the three armies, and if the double eyebrows are like two worn-out brooms, they will be killed. In addition, there are various other signs and signs in this, which must be carefully identified. However, if the eyebrows are too long and oppress the eyes, so that the gaze appears sluggish and unfavorable, the eyebrows are scattered and disorderly, the eyes appear to be worried and unfocused, the eyebrow shape is too slender and flattering, and the eyebrows are too thick, so that they do not have the temperament of the show, these are the most inferior eyebrows.

How much it must be, take it as appropriate as the eyebrow. Many, should be clear, should be sparse, should be shrunk. It should be uneven; less, it should be light, healthy, round, and affectionate. Roll like a thread, smart and open-minded; long as a solution, the wind is glorious; as strong as Zhang Ji, high and powerful; bright as a silver bar, early as the temple, all eunuchs are great instruments. Purple beard sword eyebrows, the voice is strong, the canopy is chaotic, taste the ear, with the god bone Qingqi, not a thousand miles of marquis, but also ten years of worship. He is like "the auxiliary must grow first and the end is unfavorable" and "there is no poor among the people". "The nasal hairs are more obscure" and "the short intestine covers the mouth and hunger for life", which is obvious and visible to the ears.

Beard, some people more, some people less, whether more or less, must be in harmony with the eyebrows, match. Beards should be smooth, smooth and clear, not straight or hard, and the length is clear and effective. If you have a few beards, you must be moist and shiny, strong and straight, full of charm, and take care of each other with other parts. If the beard is bent like a screw, the man must be intelligent, far-sighted, and suddenly generous. The beard is slender, like a worn rope, full of thin bends and small curves, this kind of human nature is gentle, but there is no troublemaker's heart, and it will certainly be able to be famous in the future. The beard is strong and powerful, like an open blade, and such a person will certainly become a high official and hold great power in the future. His beard was fresh and bright, like a sparkling silver bar, and this kind of person had been a minister of the DPRK at a young age. These are all big and powerful figures in the official arena of the career. If a person's beard is purple, his eyebrows are like a sword, and his voice is loud and thick. The beard is fluffy and loose like a clam, and sometimes grows behind the ears, and such a beard has a fresh and handsome skeleton and spirit. Even if he can't be crowned the Marquis of a Thousand Miles, he can still be the prime minister for ten years. Other beards, if they have to grow first, are not beneficial after all. Man has no beard and suffers all his life and suffers poverty. The nose hairs are connected to the beard, the fate is not smooth, and the prospect is dark. The short man grew up and covered his mouth, starved for the rest of his life, and so on. The ferocity of these beards is obvious, and there is no need to elaborate on them here.

Sixth sound

The voice of man, the breath of heaven and earth, gently floats up and falls heavily. It begins in dantian, originates in the throat, turns on the tongue, distinguishes from the teeth, and comes from the lips, which actually matches the five tones. Take it as a family of its own, do not have to - a tune, smell the sound of love, its people are there, rather than see a hero!

The human voice, like the yin and yang five elements between heaven and earth, also has a clear and turbid distinction, the clear one rises lightly, and the turbid one falls heavily. The sound begins in the dantian, makes a sound in the throat, transforms in the tongue, changes in the turbidity of the teeth, and finally emanates through the lips, all in close coordination with the five tones of the palace, the shang, the horn, the sign, and the feather. When you look at the acquaintance, listen to the voice of the person, to identify its uniqueness, not necessarily completely consistent with the five tones, but as long as you hear the voice, you must think of this person, so you will hear its voice and know its person, so it is not necessary to see its true face of Lushan to see whether he is a hero or a mediocre.

Sound is different from tone. The sound lord "Zhang" is seen at the place of discovery; the main voice is "zhang", and the place of rest is seen. The method of discerning sounds must distinguish between joy and sorrow; joy is like folding bamboo, anger is like thunder and thunder, mourning is like hitting thin ice, and music is like snow dancing before the wind, probably with "light and clear" as the top. The male and female, such as the bell, are expensive, such as the gong is cheap; the female, such as the pheasant, is expensive, and the frog is cheap. Listen to the sound from afar, listen melodiously from close, start like riding the wind, stop like clapping the piano, and go up. "Big words do not open lips, small words do not show teeth", on the also, out and not back, desolate suburban cattle chirping. Hurry but not reach, late at night rat chewing; or words and sentences are connected, chattering sharp mouth; or teeth and throat cut off, chattering and mixing: the husband of the city, how to compare?

Sound and tone seem inseparable, but in fact they are different, two different substances. Sound arises when the pronunciation organ is activated, and it can be heard when the pronunciation organ is activated; the sound is produced when the pronunciation organ is closed, and it can be felt when the pronunciation organ is closed. There are many ways to distinguish between the superiority and inferiority of sound, but we must focus on the detailed identification from the joys and sorrows of human feelings. The sound of joy, like the breaking of green bamboo, its emotions are crisp and pleasant; the sound of anger, like a thunder on the flat ground, its emotions are strong and strong; the sound of sorrow, like breaking through thin ice, its emotions are broken and poignant; the sound of joy, like snowflakes flying in the air before a thousand winds blow, its emotions are quiet and gentle. They are all listed in the best place because of a common feature, which is light and clear. If it is a masculine voice that is strong and agitated, then it is as loud and heavy as the bell, it is noble; if it is as light and floating as the sound of a gong, it is humble; if it is a gentle and gentle voice, then it is as clear and melodious as the chicken song, it is noble; like the sound of a frog, it is noisy and empty, and it is humble. From a distance, it was fierce and full of masculinity. However, it sounds gentle and melodious up close, and is full of yin and soft enemies, when it rises, it is like riding the wind and quietly moving, pleasant to the ear, but when it stops, it is like a violinist clapping the piano, graceful and free, this is the best in the sound. As the saying goes, "high-yielding and free speech does not open its mouth, and whispered teeth but does not show it", this is the better in the voice. After it is issued, it is scattered and vain, lacking in afterglow, like the cry of a lonely cow in the wilderness; eager, creaking, intermittent, like a rat stealing food when the night is deep and quiet; when speaking, sentence after sentence, incoherent, endless, and the mouth is fast and short; when speaking, it is slurred, swallowing, and vague, these kinds of voices belong to the vulgar and ugly voices of the people in the city, what is worth comparing with the above sounds?

The sound of the sound, in addition to the sound, is not far from the sound, and this is seen from the fine song. The poor have soundlessness, the sharp-witted have soundlessness, and the so-called "birds are silent, beasts are silent" is also. Mortals speak, and the voice is scattered in front of and behind the left and right. Talking is full of emotion, the words will eventually have a lingering sound, not only elegant people, but also called the land; the mouth is wide and overflowing, the tip of the tongue is not sounded, not only is it thick, but also famous.

Sound, is the aftermath or afterglow of a sound. Sounds are not far from sounds, and the differences between them can still be heard from subtle places. The poor and lowly people speak only sound and no sound, appearing rude and uncivilized, and the smooth and sharp people speak only with sound and no sound, appearing to be artificial, as the saying goes, "birds are silent, beasts are silent", which is the case. Ordinary people speak, but it is only a sound scattered in the air, and there is no sound to speak of. If when you speak, you are emotional as soon as you open your mouth, and your voice is full of emotion, when you are finished, you are a gentle and elegant person, and you can be called a social celebrity. If when you speak, even if your mouth is wide and large, but your voice is not out of breath, even if you are articulate, you do not make frivolity. This not only shows that his own inner qualities are deep, but also indicates that his people will also receive prestigious honors.

Seventh tone

The face is like life, the tone is like luck. The big life should be neat, and the small luck should also be enjoyed. It is the light that does not emit flames, the pearls and jade and the rubble are the same; the algae painting is not raised, and the bright light and the cloth are at the same price. The great lord has a bad life, and the small one is also auspicious in March.

If the face symbolizes and embodies the great life of the person, then the color symbolizes and reflects the small luck of the person. The Great Life is born innately, but it should still be balanced with the acquired encounter, and the Minor Luck should always be smooth. Therefore, if the brilliance cannot be radiant, even pearls and precious jade are no different from broken bricks and tiles; if the colors cannot be presented, even if they are tongluo and cotton embroidery, they are no different from coarse cloth and rough kudzu. Great fate can determine the misfortune of a person's life, and small luck can also determine a person's auspiciousness for several months.

People are mainly qi, spiritual on the inside, and qi on the outside. There is a lifelong aura, "less light, long bright, magnificent, old vegetarian" is also. There is a year of color, "spring green, summer red, autumn yellow, winter white" is also. There is a January tone, "Shuo Hou Sen Fa, Look After Hidden Leap" is also. There is a day of color, "early childbearing, full day, late stop, twilight" is also.

Qi is the main god of a person's own survival and development, which is manifested in the human body as the human spirit and on the surface of the human body as the human aura. There are many forms of qi color: among them, there is a color that runs through people's lives, which is the saying that "the color of the qi in the adolescent period is light, the so-called light is the thin color of the qi; the qi color in the youth period is bright, the so-called bright, that is, the qi is bright; the qi color in the prime of life is bright, the so-called bright, that is, the qi is rich and colorful; the qi color in the old age is plain, the so-called plain, is the qi is simple", which is this kind of color. There is a color that runs through the year, which is the proverbial "spring color is cyan - wood color, spring color, summer color is red - fire color, summer color, autumn color is yellow - earth color, autumn color, winter color is white - gold, winter color," is this color. There is a tone that runs through January, which is the proverbial "after the first day of each month, it is like a leaf blooming, and after fifteen days it is looming", which is this kind of atmosphere. There is a tone throughout the day, which is the proverbial "the morning begins to recover, the day is full and full, the evening gradually fades, and the night is peaceful and calm", which is this kind of atmosphere.

The name of the family is mainly yellow, and this positive color is also. Yellow clouds cover the top, will be very large; yellow wings into the sideburns, not far away; yintang yellow, rich and compelling; Mingtang plain, next year and the first. He is like the corner of his eyes, a small examination; the yintang is purple, the movement is small, the red halo is divided, and the child is destined to be born; the cheeks are rosy, and the flesh and bones are traced. From this, it is obvious.

For scholars who pursue the name of the subject, the facial color should be dominated by yellow, because yellow is the positive color, the auspicious color. If there is a yellow cloud covering the top of his head, then it is certain that this scholar will inevitably win the championship in the examination of the temple of science and the high school; if there is a piece of yellow in each cheek part of the two cheeks, such as two wings directly inserted into the sideburns, then it is certain that this scholar has been promoted or knighted for a long time; if the Seal Hall of the Palace of Destiny is yellow, then it is certain that this scholar will soon have the opportunity to be able to become both rich and an official; if the ming hall part, that is, the nose is white and clean, then it is certain, This scholar will be able to enter the first place in science. Other facial colors, such as the corner of the eye, that is, the fishtail part of the red and purple color, which resembles a gorgeous cloud, then it is certain that this boy will be able to successfully pass the examination when he participates in the small examination; in the Seal Hall of the Palace of Life, there is a purple launch, which is injected upwards between the mountain roots, then it is certain that this person will often get some money and wealth; if there is a red halo under each eye, and it is separated by the bridge of the nose and is not connected to each other, then it is certain that this person will be happy to have a baby son; if the two foreheads are rosy and shiny, Then it is certain that this person's relatives, such as fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, brothers, etc., will be able to make a name for themselves and become rich. From this, it is enough to glimpse the relationship between the appearance of the face and the fate of people.

Avoid green and white. Cyanosis is common in the fundus and white is common in the posterior end. However, it is also different: the advantage of the heart, green as condensed ink; the misfortune of the unexpected, green as floating smoke; the wine color is tired, white as a sleeping sheep; the disaster is obscure, and the white is as white as Fu powder. There are also blue and purple, gold and flying, white and light, Tu Geng is quite rich and noble, and it is not discussed here. The worst of them: "Taibai sandwiches the sun and the moon, the black bird sets the heavenly court, the peach blossom scatters the cheeks, and the (red page) tail shoudi pavilion." "There is one here, the future is receding, and the calamity is repeated.

Facial color is taboo cyan, but also taboo white. Cyan is generally present under the eyes, while white is often found at the tips of the eyebrows. Their specific situation is different: if it is cyan because of anxiety and hardship, then this cyan is mostly thick and thick, like condensed ink; if it is cyan because of the encounter with a flying disaster, then this cyan must be uneven in weight, like floating smoke; if it is white due to drunkenness and lust, which leads to fatigue and fatigue, then this white must be like a sleeping sheep, and it will soon dissipate; if it is white because of a catastrophe, then this white must be as miserable as dry bones and full of death. There is also a purple color in the blue, if the gold-shaped person encounters this kind of color, it must be able to fly yellow tengda, if it is a white and shiny color, the upper shape and the golden face of the person with this color, will also get rich, these are special cases, not in the above discussion. The worst are the following four colors: "White surrounds the eye circles, this phase is the main mourning; the black qi gathers the forehead, this phase is the main ginseng; the red spots are covered with two cheeks, and this phase is the main prison; the light red condensation is in the pavilion, and the main protagonist of this phase is murderous." "If only one of the above four phases is possessed, it will go backwards and fall. And one after another was stricken.
