Chapter 8: Detailed Discussion on Moles
The next day, the master and the disciple sat opposite each other.
I said, "Come Chun, let's learn Feng Shui slowly. Go out and have a look around more often. This requires on-site observation.
But this face reading thing can be learned every day, as people come and go. You just need to pay attention to the people who come, and after they leave, I will teach you.
"Master, that's great."
I said, "As for fortune-telling, you should read the physiognomy books, but don't believe all the nonsense they say."
"Why?"
"My master taught me a little bit before, and my senior brother Chang Nanxi also gave me some knowledge in this area. It's useful, but not absolute. A person must have his or her own independent thinking."
"Master, what does independent thinking mean?"
I took a sip of tea and said, "Appearance changes. We mainly look at the things that don't change. For example, the shape of the bones, which can't change. The moles on the face and body, these also can't change. Secondly, look at the teeth. These have imperfections. As people get older, their teeth fall out, or they have dentures."
Chun said, "Master, I understand. First look at the bones, then the moles. If the person is young and has straight teeth, then look at the teeth."
I nodded. "You have good intelligence, but the skeleton is a little more difficult to learn. I'll start by teaching you how to look at moles and teeth. When someone comes, just observe these two features."
Let me first give you a general rule: moles on the face are generally not good. Moles in places you can't see can be good or bad. Regarding moles on the face, I can put it in four words: "generally not good."
Chun said, "I still have to write it down. I remember [generally not good], which does not mean that all moles on the face are bad." After that, he went to get his notebook.
After he sat down, I began to teach him the true teachings:
Mole = disease + Zhi, indicating that it is a sign of some kind of disease. Of course, the word "disease" here does not refer to disease alone, but rather a general term for disease and things that may happen in a person's life.
If a person has a mole on his head or face, it is very good if the mole is born in the hair. The closer to the top of the hair, the better.
If there are seven moles on the forehead, you will be very rich.
If there is a mole in the center of the forehead, it is bad for the wife and children. If it is a woman, it is bad for the husband and children.
If there are moles on both earlobes, the person is smart but will suffer many disasters in childhood.
A mole inside the ear indicates longevity.
A mole on the earlobe indicates wealth.
A mole between the eyebrows indicates wealth and honor. Be careful about this wealth and honor; don't place too high hopes on it. Compared to others, having enough food and clothing is enough.
Chunlai asked: "Why?"
I explained, "These physiognomy books have been passed down for thousands, even hundreds of years. In the past, when productivity was low, people's understanding of wealth was simply having enough food and clothing. Their understanding of nobility was simply being a scholar or above.
The living standards of ordinary people today are better than those of the landlords in the past. There are many educated people.
So the wealth and nobility mentioned in the physiognomy books just means that you have an above-average standard of living in your local area."
Chunlai said, "Master has really mastered this line of work."
I said, "You need to keep up with the times. If you still stick to the standards in books, you'll make a fool of yourself if you tell others about it. If you say someone is wealthy, others will say you're completely wrong. So, you should say that your standard of living is pretty good, at least considered good in your local area."
Chun said, "No wonder you don't want me to trust everything in the physiognomy book."
I continued, "If there is a black mole under the eye, it is called a tear mole. It indicates an arrogant personality and a life of hardship. If it is large, it indicates success in old age.
Moles on the cheekbones are bad for children. Negligence in official duties, of course, does not necessarily mean dereliction of duty, but also major ups and downs in career can be considered.
A mole at the base of the nose bridge is not a good sign.
A mole on the eyelid indicates poverty.
A mole on the side of the nose indicates illness.
A mole on the tip of the nose is associated with knife wounds, but it does not necessarily occur.
If you have a mole on your upper lip, be careful of what you say.
Moles on both sides of the lips will lead to financial loss.
That's all you need to learn. Tomorrow I'll teach you about invisible moles on your body."
Chunlai asked, "Master, you didn't tell me there was a mole on your chin."
I shook my head: "I won't talk about that."
"Why can't I tell you?"
"Don't ask any more questions. If I want to tell you, I'll tell you directly."
Chunlai stuck out his tongue and said, "Let me summarize: the fewer moles on your face, the better."
I nodded and said, "Yes, when ancient people described people, men had fair faces and no beards. Women had red lips and white teeth. They prioritized fair skin. Why? Because there were no lasers in the past, and large moles were difficult to remove, affecting appearance. And beauty is the first impression people make when they interact with others. People attach great importance to beauty."
Therefore, whether ancient or modern, your likes or dislikes for a person are directly related to their appearance. You might also want to find a beautiful woman, right? But if she has many prominent moles, you'd feel a bit disappointed. These moles also affect a person's self-confidence.
So don't be overly skeptical about face readings; even moles need to be considered in context with the overall face. Remember these basics.
So-called physiognomy is the summation of many years of experience."
Chunlai closed his notebook. The master and apprentice took a break.
Less than ten minutes later, a woman came in, about twenty-six or twenty-seven. As soon as she sat down, Chunlai stared at her, making her face flush.
I glanced at it and said, "Sit down."
The girl sat down, smiled at me, and said, "Teacher Wan, Zeng Xianping and I are from the same company. It's the Zeng Xianping who came here yesterday."
I smiled and said, "I know. Your family lives in the countryside."
She almost slid off the chair, her eyes wide open, and asked, "Master, how do you know I come from the countryside?"
I didn't answer her, but gave her something more exciting. I picked up the tea and took a sip: "Your dick."
The woman put down the teacup that was about to reach her mouth and stared at me in disbelief.
Chunlai stared at me with admiration.
The woman asked, "Master, can you see that?"
I still looked at her with that indescribable smile, as if I knew everything about the world, and said, "There's a mole between her breasts."
She was panting, and this inability to breathe showed that she was both panicked and shy. She was suddenly hugged by a man she liked, and she instinctively wanted to struggle, but her heart was pounding and she felt powerless all over.
At this time, I said coldly: "What's the matter, tell me."
She calmed down after a long while and said, "I want to test the word 'pure' to see if I can get a promotion."
I nodded.
The woman said, "Please explain it to me. Zeng Xianping said he asked you something. If you explain it clearly, I want to understand it."
I nodded and said, "The word [pure] is divided into two parts. It is [silk] + [tun].
Let me first explain the word "tun". Tun refers to the appearance of young shoots of grass and trees just emerging from the ground.
When plants grow up, their colors may be green, yellow, red, black, or a variety of colors. However, when young shoots emerge from the ground, they are only one color: green.
She nodded.
"Let me explain the word 'silk' on the left. Silk is freshly drawn silk, and its color is also single, white. Two relatively simple colors, when combined, create 'pure'."
As for whether you can be promoted, both states indicate that you can be promoted.
First, you must break out of your cocoon before you can spin silk. Second, you must break out of the soil before you can sprout. Congratulations, you will be promoted soon."
She patted her chest and said, "Thank you, Master."
After saying this, she refused to leave and asked with a blushing face: "How did you know I was from the countryside, and that... there was a mole in that place?"
I leaned forward and laughed, "Girl, I'll tell you everything. What should I do next?"
She said, "If you don't tell me, I can't sleep."
I shook my head: "It's none of my business if you can't sleep. I rely on this to make a living."
The girl really didn't want to leave. Seeing that I stopped talking, she said, "I'm going to come and ask you to be my teacher. You'll tell me eventually."
I smiled and said, "I don't accept female disciples."
She had no choice but to scan the money and leave.
After the visitor left, Chunlai hurriedly asked, "Master, how did you see that, and so accurately?"
I said, "Rest now and continue teaching in the afternoon. If you can accurately identify the mole on her face in the afternoon, I will teach you."
