The origin and development of physiognomy?

Physiognomy is also called physiognomy. One of the ancient techniques of Han nationality is physiognomy, which infers good or bad luck, dignity and premature death according to human face, facial features, bones, complexion, posture and palm prints. The types of physiognomy can be divided into physiognomy, petrography, palmistry and mammography.

The facial origin of the Han nationality can be traced back to the period of Three Emperors and Five Emperors. According to "Da Dai", "Yao takes people as shapes, Shun takes people as colors, and Yu takes people as words." At the same time, the consciousness of "saints are different" has also appeared. According to historical records, Fuxi people have snake heads and Shennong people have cow heads. It shows that during the period of Three Emperors and Five Emperors, physiognomy has sprouted unconsciously.

According to materialism, fate is unpredictable, and there are variables at any time. Man's destiny is in his own hands.

If there is a day, it is only an entity representing nature (Tao), and there will be different tests according to different people's lives. As the saying goes: Man proposes, God disposes, and it can only be used to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, not to get caught up in it.
