At the age of five, a fortune teller said that I would be able to see through other people's thoughts when I grow up.
My parents thought I was a genius and devoted the whole family's ...
Chapter 286 Nanxi Discusses Face Reading
Nanxi took a sip of tea and said:
"Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you some information about physiognomy. Actually, every one of us reads physiognomy every day. When you interact with different people, you're reading their physiognomy.
Especially when we meet someone for the first time, it is called the first impression. The first impression is the subjective consciousness accumulated over a long period of time from our observation of their face.
For example, if you see someone with a fierce face, you are afraid of him. Why are you afraid of him? It is because you see the fierceness in his eyes, not because you see his nose is crooked.
You see a woman and suddenly feel a sexual arousal. What do you see? You notice a few parts of her body that are particularly attractive.
The lips, chest and buttocks are full. If her eyes can speak, you will define this kind of woman as coquettish in your mind.
You see a woman and suddenly feel a special liking for her, not just a simple sexual attraction. What do you see?
It's the harmonious proportions of her facial features. It's not about having all of them look great, but how they combine to embody the kind of aura you desire: pure, passionate, dignified, wild, and so on.
Therefore, everyone is a face reader. Otherwise, you would not be able to choose who to associate with and who not to associate with, who to associate with more and who to associate with less.
In other words, face reading exists and we use it all the time. First impressions are generally correct, but they are not absolute.
The physiognomy I want to discuss is the Chang family's physiognomy, which is inherited from our ancestors. I cannot guarantee that it will be the same as others or what is written in books.
Actually, I'm talking about general knowledge. It's too profound for most people to understand. Next, I'll talk about the five senses.
Eyebrows are the most important of the five senses. They are located high up.
What is the purpose of eyebrows? First of all, they protect the eyes. When we sweat profusely, they can block the sweat flowing down the forehead and play a buffering role.
The position of eyebrows is better when they are high. There is no special meaning in whether eyebrows are thick or dense, except that people with bad tempers and quick tempers tend to have thick and dense eyebrows.
If eyebrows are high and light, they're basically destined to be elegant. If they're low, thick, and dark, or even nearly connected in the middle, this image is similar to that of chimpanzees. I won't comment on it.
Second, the eyes are a vital organ. They are the window to the soul among the five senses. Ten articles could not fully describe them. Good and evil are obvious to everyone, no need to explain.
Eyes should be clear and bright, gentle yet majestic. These are the best eyes. Eyes that are yellow or red, protruding like a sheep's, narrow, deep, and squinting are not kind. There is no distinction between large and small eyes.
Third, the nose governs wealth, with a large nose representing wealth. However, some people, like actresses, have small, delicate noses. Why do they also possess wealth? It all depends on proportions. A small face with a pointed chin is considered well-proportioned and also represents wealth.
We don't look at the mouth. The idea that a big mouth means you can eat a lot is nonsense. We focus on the teeth. Generally, the front teeth point slightly outward, not the gourd-like kind. The lips are nice, with a pointed upper lip. Generally, the appearance is not bad. People with fine, dense teeth are usually very smart.
The chin is generally called the base, and it is best if it is full and round.
There's no such thing as a big ear. Big ears are considered auspicious, but that's just bullshit. There are two key characteristics of ears: First, they should be whiter than the skin on your face. Second, the earlobes should be facing the corners of your mouth.
After discussing the five senses, let's look at the three parts of the face. The upper part refers to the forehead, which represents early fortune. A smooth and wide forehead is best. If it is bumpy and too narrow, it means that early life will not be smooth.
The bridge of the nose to the philtrum represents middle age. If there are black moles on the bridge of the nose and many horizontal lines, it is destined to face obstacles in career development or even failure in middle age. This needs to be examined in detail; don't let others see it.
The chin is called the base of the body and represents old age. A rounded and full chin is ideal. This area can change. Some women have pointed chins in their youth, which become rounded after middle age.
Although we all know how to read faces, there is an important point: faces cannot be judged in isolation. We cannot draw a conclusion just because a certain organ of a person meets one of the above conditions.
An experienced physiognomist will base their conclusions on the harmony of the entire facial features. That's basically what I've said. Now, you can go home and ask one or two questions.
Monkey said, "Master Chang, what do you think of my face?"
Nanxi smiled and said, "I said I won't look at it specifically tonight."
He felt a little regretful, and then asked, "Why are there also paupers among those with big noses?"
Nanxi said, "That's a good question. The amount of wealth God has given you is predetermined. But if you squander it, or if you're in poor health and spend it all on medical treatment, or if you're too greedy, or if you're simply lazy and helpless, then a big nose is useless."
"You haven't told me about the mole on your face yet." Xiang Ping asked.
Nanxi replied: "In my family, physiognomy only considers moles above the brow arch as auspicious. As for someone getting a mole on the chin in middle age, that is a special case.
What I'm talking about is general knowledge. Physiognomy isn't a science; it's a matter of experience. Shanhong and I discussed this a while ago: if it were a science, 1+1=2, then anyone could do physiognomy.
After Nanxi finished speaking, everyone applauded. They said he spoke very objectively, unlike some people who act as if they are gods.
Sister Yu said, "Teacher Wan, can you also talk about fortune-telling or divination?"
I smiled and said, "Let me tell you about fortune-telling. It's actually not that complicated. It's just about finding the original meaning of the word and explaining it based on the meaning."
Monkey Brother became interested and said with a smile, "For example, if I say 'yes' and 'no', the test results will definitely be different, right?"
I said, "Yes, that's a good question. Many people have asked me this. Let me explain it again. You can't jump into two rivers at the same time. You can't be born in two places at the same time."
For example, if you are born in a rich family, your growing environment will be better, and if you are born in a poor family, your growing environment will be worse.
Similarly, you can only choose one of the millions of words. Asking for a wife is one thing: you can only choose one: Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, or Xiao Wang. Whichever you choose determines the state of your life.
If you choose the word "good", I will explain it according to the word "good". If you choose the word "no", I will explain it according to the word "no".
When you choose that word, quantum entanglement occurs, and the outcome is determined. For example, if your sister gives birth to a child, regardless of whether you know it or not, and regardless of whether you admit it or not, your identity becomes the uncle.
Everyone laughed.
Xiang Ping said, "Teacher Wan, I asked for a 'red' prediction the other day about my career as an anchor. You said it was good, but you didn't finish. I want to hear it again."
I nodded and said, "Okay, first we need to find the original meaning of the scarlet letter. Red originally refers to the birth of a baby and the bleeding of a mother. The birth of a baby is a happy occasion."
Therefore, anything related to the birth of a baby has red characters, such as: matchmaker, red matchmaker, red eggs, and red wedding event.
You are engaged in the career of online anchor, which is also a newborn baby. Short videos emerged in 2011 and Tik Tok was born in 2016.
Therefore, if you get involved right now, with your own conditions, such as being able to sing and dance and having a pretty face, you can become popular, become an Internet celebrity, and get bonuses. You will also become popular and become a celebrity.
If you intervene too late and there are too many people, you may continue to be popular for a while, but you won’t be popular forever.”
"Then why do you know that I was very sad in the past?"
"As I said, red represents the birth of a baby. It means your mother is in pain, and you are in pain too."
After hearing my explanation, Monkey Brother sighed: "The entertainment industry, especially talk shows like his, has become less and less popular. In the past, there were karaoke bars and nightclubs, but now they are all in decline."
In the past, we wouldn't invite him to company openings or annual meetings anymore, but now, to save money, we don't invite him anymore. As for the TV stations, they don't dare invite him because he's too old and speaks too aggressively.
Xiang Ping was even more grouchy, saying that few people watched TV anymore, let alone dance halls, which was why she was filming videos. Mobile phones were the new king.
Monkey asked me: "Which way should I go? Master, please show me the way."
I said, "Go live stream too. You have your advantages. You have so many fans across the province."
He laughed and said, "It's just like setting up a street stall. At my age, I really can't let go of my pride."
I said, "This is an era of deconstructing appearances. Be brave and go into the sea."
We chatted for a while and added each other on WeChat. Monkey and the other two stood up and prepared to go home, so we saw them off to the car.
I shook Monkey's hand and said, "A very pleasant evening, thank you."
Monkey said, "Next time I will specially invite you for tea."
Sister Yu said, "Get some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Nanxi and I went upstairs. When we reached the second floor, he gestured to me and I followed him in.
He said, "Of the three, the quiet one has the best fate. She can find a good husband. Xiang Ping is destined to be a second marriage, and will end up marrying a much older man."
"Where's Monkey?"
"Hard life in youth, rich in middle age, lonely in old age."
I asked, "He has made a lot of money. If he saves it and earns the interest, it will be enough for him to live comfortably in his old age."
Nanxi shook her head: "It's useless to earn more money. He is a man who loves making friends, is generous and loyal. He can't keep the money.
Don’t you see some people who are very rich? But they end up squandering their money, having affairs with women, getting sick, gambling, and eventually ending up on the streets. This is because God only gave them so much.”
Nanxi finally advised me: "Be frugal with everything—whether it's wisdom, strength, money, or even grudges. Don't use everything completely."
"Thank you, senior brother. See you tomorrow morning." I waved to him.
