Basic Face Reading
Where Appearances reflect the Truth
“He looks like a dishonest person.”
“She seems to be a nice, kind lady!”
Like it or not, admit it or otherwise, it is human nature to judge
others by appearances – hence the precautionary proverb: Do
not judge a book by its cover.
In fact, Face Reading is something that seems to be ingrained
within us, since birth. Not so surprising, perhaps, considering the
What’s in a Face? Everything!
As one of the time-tested Five Arts (Wu Xing) of Chinese
Metaphysics, Face Reading – or Mian Xiang - falls under the
study of the physiognomy of the features, contours, shapes and
even hues of the face. To the Chinese, however, a person’s face is
more than what he or she shows the world; it’s also a virtual map
of this person’s potential and destiny in life.
We are talking about an ancient art with a prestigious lineage
that predates to the time of the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di; circa
2,500 BC). Back then, candidates coveting imperial positions
were not required to submit their resumes; what they did instead
fact that most of our judgment of our surroundings and other
people are derived from our visual senses – our eyes – and that
the face is usually the most uncovered part of the human body.
And while it may be fairly obvious, it cannot be emphasized
enough that while CVs may be exaggerated and credentials may
be faked…the face simply does NOT lie.
Welcome to the intriguing, fascinating world of Chinese Face
Reading…Mian Xiang!
was to submit their BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) Chart, to be
assessed by imperial advisers.
Now, a BaZi Chart maps the Qi or energy patterns present during
the exact moment of a person’s birth…but then again, BaZi
Charts can always be ‘doctored’ to make them more superior,
right? So how did the imperial advisers ascertain whether a
potential candidate indeed possessed the requisite qualifications
for a particular post?
By looking at his face, of course.
The impromptu tool of
Emperors & Commoners alike
In a similar vein, the emperors of ancient China would utilize
Mian Xiang to assess friend and foe alike. So important was the
role of Mian Xiang; that Chinese Metaphysical advisers to the
Dragon Throne would inevitably have to present a detailed
‘Mian Xiang’ report on a particular individual’s character,
potential and destiny to the emperor, whenever an analysis
was requested.
Of course, the days of the Chinese emperors and their exploits
are but pages consigned to history books, today. But perhaps just
as well this metaphysical science has spilled over, from being just
the sole privilege of royalty and nobility…to the common person
on-the-street. Today, Mian Xiang is widely-utilized by people
from all walks and backgrounds of life; from rulers and
politicians, to movie and sports stars…from business tycoons to
the average wage-earner, and from the keen enthusiast to the
curious housewife – who wishes to gain a better insight into her
loved ones’ characters!
We live in a world where progress and advance are being made at
unprecedented – even frightening – speeds. And there is simply
no telling what tomorrow will bring, or the consequences of our
liaisons or interactions with other people.
But we can always better prepare ourselves to interact more
successfully with others – given that no person is an island
entirely unto him / herself – with ONE tool: Mian Xiang.

Course Highlights
A person’s face is, in effect, a 100-year map of his / her life. Put
simply, different points on our faces represent the different years
as we grow through life. And indeed, practically every facet of
our lives, including our wealth, health, career and relationship
prospects can be deduced from our faces!
