Zhang Jinhua, a descendant of the Celestial Master and a renowned physiognomist, stated: Facial features include the shapes and features of various parts and organs such as the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, ears, forehead, cheekbones, and chin. Physiognomy believes that: “The face is the abode of the spirits of all the hundred parts of the body, the pathway to the five internal organs, the embodiment of the three powers (heaven, earth, and man), and determines the gains and losses of a lifetime.” Therefore, the face is considered the most important part for judging a person’s fortune and misfortune.
