The traditions of Chinese face reading state that no less than ninety-two age positions are dotted around the face. One can find each year of life marked on the face. Each feature is a component in this landscape and each is interpreted accordingly. This facial landscape also possesses four rivers-the eyes, the nostrils, the ears, and the mouth. In fact, face reading has a great deal in common with feng shui, because in this art, the human face is regarded as a landscape with five mountains-the brow, the nose, the two cheekbones, and the chin-each symbolically associated with one of the five elements. In face reading, like Chinese astrology, feng shui, and oriental medicine, we find Chinese concepts that have become familiar, such as yang and yin and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. In fact, ethnic type is not important, because face reading's rules and interpretations can be applied to all racial groups equally.
Even though face reading originated in China, it does not apply only to oriental features.
Even so, they drew on the core beliefs of oriental philosophy to provide the basis for this fascinating study. The ancient sages who formulated this practice are long forgotten, having lived more than two thousand years ago. The Chinese art of face reading, or kang xiang as it was originally known, has a very long history indeed.
