73. The Twelve Palaces

兩眉之間，山根之上。光明如鏡，學問皆通。山根平滿，必主福壽。土星高聳，必主財源。眼若分明，定保富貴雙全。額如川字，命逢驛馬。官星沉陷，必主孤寒。眉接交加，成下賤。紋亂，離鄉又克妻。故額窄眉枯，一世貧窮之相。詩曰：眉眼中間是命宮，光瑩潤淨學須通，若還紋亂多寒滯，破盡家財辱祖宗。

The "Ming Gong" is located between the two eyebrows and above the mountain root, which is also known as the "Yin Tang." If this area is bright and clear like a mirror, one will have knowledge in all fields; if the mountain root is flat and full, it indicates a long and prosperous life; if the nose (representing the Earth Star) is high and prominent, there will be wealth; if the eyes are clear and distinct, one will certainly achieve both wealth and status; if there is a "Chuan" character mark on the forehead, it indicates encountering the "Yi Ma" (Post Horse), leading to traveling widely and achieving success. If the Yin Tang is low and sunken, one will certainly be lonely and poor; if the two eyebrows connect and invade the Yin Tang, one will become of low status; if the Yin Tang has chaotic patterns, one will leave home and be harmful to one's wife. Therefore, a narrow forehead and dry eyebrows indicate a life of poverty. A poem says: The area between the two eyebrows and eyes is the Ming Gong; if it is bright, smooth, and clean, one's knowledge will be thorough; but if the patterns are chaotic and there is a cold and stagnant atmosphere, one will lose all family wealth and disgrace one's ancestors.

鼻乃財星，位居土宿。截筒懸膽，千倉萬箱。聳直興隆，一生富貴。中正不偏，須知福祿滔滔。鶯小尖峰，到老貧寒下賤。莫教孔仰，主無隔宿之糧。廚窀若空，必定家無所積。（凡鼻內生一、二根毛，名為金登，不好，多生者妙）詩曰：鼻乃財帛高且隆，兩邊廚窀莫教空，仰露永無財與粟，地閣相朝谷祿豐。

The nose is called the "wealth star" and is located in the earth position, hence called the wealth palace. If the nose is shaped like a cut bamboo tube or like a hanging gallbladder, it indicates great wealth. A high, straight, and full nose beam suggests a life of wealth and honor. If the nose is in the middle of the face, upright and not crooked, it signifies abundant blessings and honors. A thin nose with a sharp tip resembles a peak, indicating poverty and low status in old age. One must avoid a nose with upturned and exposed nostrils, which signifies no food for two nights. The "kitchen stove" on both sides of the nostrils, if hollow and lacking flesh, indicates that the family cannot accumulate wealth. Old annotations say that having one or two hairs inside the nostrils is called "gold climbing," which is not good; having more hairs is better. A poem says: the nose is the wealth palace, it should be high and full; the kitchen stoves on both sides must not be hollow. Upturned and exposed nostrils mean perpetual lack of food and grain. The lower jaw and the nose should face each other and support each other, indicating abundant wealth and official rank.

兄弟位居兩眉，屬羅計。眉長過目，兄弟三四無刑。眉秀面清，兄遲須有貴。形如新月，和睦永遠超群。菲是短粗，手足難同。兩樣眉毛，必須異姓。交連黃濁，身喪他鄉。頭高尾低，兄弟不和。詩曰：眉為兄弟軟清揚，兄弟生成四五強，兩角不齊須異母，交連黃濁喪他鄉。

The "Brotherhood Palace" is located between the eyebrows, associated with the stars Luo Hou and Ji Du. If the eyebrows are longer than the eyes, there will be three or four brothers, and they will not conflict with each other. If the eyebrows are clear and elegant, and the face is bright and clear, although some brothers may achieve success later, they will eventually attain high status. If the eyebrows are shaped like a new moon, the brothers will be harmonious and outstanding. If the eyebrows are short and thick, there will be difficulty in unity among siblings. If the left and right eyebrows are of different lengths, the brothers are likely to be from different mothers. If the eyebrows are connected and have a yellowish, turbid color, the person may die in a foreign land. If the eyebrows are high at the beginning and low at the end, the brothers will not get along. A poem says: The eyebrows represent the Brotherhood Palace; the eyebrows should be soft and graceful, allowing for four or five brothers. If the corners of the eyebrows are uneven in height, the brothers are likely to be from different mothers. If the eyebrows are connected and have a yellowish, turbid color, the person will die in a foreign land.

眼為田宅。最忌赤脈侵睛，初年破盡家財。陰陽失陷，到老無糧可屯。眼如點漆，終身產業興隆。鳳目高眉，稅置三州五縣。昏暗神露，財散家傾。詩曰：眼為田宅主其宮，眼秀分明一樣同，若是陰陽枯再露，父母家財總是空。

The eyes belong to the "Field and House" palace. The most dreaded is for red threads to enter the eyeballs, which indicates the loss of all family wealth at an early age. The left eye represents yang, and the right eye represents yin. If either eye is sunken or misplaced, one will have no food stored for old age. If the eyeballs are black and bright like ink, there will be continuous prosperity in property and land. If one has a pair of phoenix eyes along with high and lifted eyebrows, their farmland will extend across three states and five counties. If the eyes are dim and the spirit light is exposed, wealth will be scattered and the family will decline. A poem says: the eyes govern the Field and House palace; both eyes should be clear and distinct, and aligned on both sides. If both yang and yin eyes are dry and the spirit light is exposed, the family wealth left by the parents will eventually be lost.

男位左，女為右，俱在眼下，名曰淚堂，又名臥蠶。三陽平滿，男女福祿榮昌。隱隱臥蠶，子息終須高貴。淚堂深陷，男女無緣。黑痣斜紋，送男送女。嘴若吹火，女人獨守蘭房。人中平滿，子息難得。詩曰：男女三陽起臥蠶，瑩然光彩好兒郎，若是紋理來侵位，宿學平生不可當。

The "Heavenly and Earthly Palace" (男女宫) is used to assess children. For sons, look at the left eye socket; for daughters, look at the right eye socket. Both are located below the eyes, called "Tear Hall" (泪堂) or "Lid Tendon" (卧蚕). If the "Three Yang" area below the eyes is flat and full, the children will have good fortune and prosperity. If the "Lid Tendon" is subtly raised, the children will ultimately be of high status. If the "Tear Hall" is sunken, there will be no children. If there is a black mole or a slanted line in this area, it indicates the loss of children (early death of children). If the lips are curled up like blowing fire, a woman will be left alone in an empty house. If the philtrum is flat and without a groove, it is difficult to have children. A poem says: The "Heavenly and Earthly Palace" is located in the "Three Yang" area and the "Lid Tendon" below the eyes. If this area is bright and lustrous, one can have good sons. If there are lines entering this area, even a learned person cannot bear this deficiency in life.

奴僕為金縷地閣，重接水星。頦圓豐滿，侍立成群。輔弼相其，一呼百諾。口如四字，主呼聚喝散之權。倉庫偏斜，施恩反成恨怨。奴僕宮深，用人無力。詩曰：奴僕還需地閣豐，水星兩角不相同，若遲三處都無應，傾陷紋痕奴僕空。

The "Servant Palace" is located in the area below the chin, specifically between "Golden Thread" and "Earth Store," and connects upward to the mouth (Water Star). A full and round chin indicates many attendants; if further supported by the auxiliary bones on both sides, one can command obedience from many. If the mouth is square, resembling the character "four," it signifies the power to summon people when needed and dismiss them when desired. If the Heavenly Granary and Earth Store are crooked, granting favors may instead lead to resentment. A deep and sunken Servant Palace indicates that people cannot be effectively utilized. A poem says: The Servant Palace also requires a rich Earth Store. If the two corners of the mouth are uneven in height, and the Earth Store, Golden Thread, and three other areas are not harmonious, then a sunken and marked Earth Store is destined to have no servants or followers.

妻妾位居魚尾，號曰奸門。光潤無紋，必保妻全四德。豐隆平滿，娶妻財帛盈箱。顴骨侵天，因妻得祿。奸門深陷，常作新郎。魚尾多紋，妻防惡死。昏暗斜紋，子多庶出。詩曰：奸門光潤保妻宮，財帛盈箱見始終若是奸門生黔黯，斜紋暗滯子偏生。

The "Wife and Concubine Palace" is located at the outer corner of the eye, also known as the "Cunning Gate." If this area is smooth and free of markings, the wife will certainly be virtuous, possessing the four virtues of a good wife: propriety, speech, appearance, and skills. If this area is full and level, marriage will bring great wealth. If the cheekbones are high and extend over this area, one will gain official rank through his wife. If the Cunning Gate is deep and sunken, there will be repeated marriages. If there are many markings at the outer corner of the eye, there is a risk of the wife dying prematurely. If the Cunning Gate is dark and has slanting markings, the sons are likely to be from concubines. A poem says: if the Cunning Gate is bright and smooth, the wife will be well maintained, and wealth will be abundant, ensuring stability. But if the Cunning Gate is dark and dull, with slanting markings, the sons will mostly be from secondary wives.

疾厄宮者，年壽、山根之位。山根光潤無病，昏暗主災疾連綿。詩曰：山根疾厄起平平，一世無災禍不生，若值紋痕並枯骨，平生辛苦卻難成。

The "Ji E Gong" refers to the area on the nose between the "Nian Shang" (year position), "Shou Shang" (longevity position), and the "Shan Gen" (mountain root). If the "Shan Gen" is bright and smooth, the person will have no illness throughout their life. If it is dull and dark, it indicates continuous illness and misfortune. A poem says: If the "Ji E Gong" is flat and full, the person will have no disasters or misfortunes throughout their life. However, if there are markings or lines on this area and the bone structure is thin and weak, the person will have a hard life and find it difficult to achieve success.

位居眉尾，號曰天倉。隆滿豐盈，華彩無憂，此位潤平，到老得人欽羨。騰騰驛馬，須知豪遊四方。額魚低陷，到老住場難覓。眉毛一缺，此人破祖離宗。天地偏陷，到老九變，生相如此，移門改暮。詩曰：遷移宮分在天倉，深陷生平少住場，魚尾未年來相應，定是遊官不尋常。

The "Migration Palace" is located above the tail of the eyebrow, called "Heavenly Granary." If this area is full and prosperous, the person will shine brightly and have no worries throughout their life; if it is moist and level, they will be respected by others even in old age. If the "Post Horse" area on the forehead has a strong and vigorous appearance, the person can travel far and wide. If the forehead corner and the fish tail are sunken, they will not find a place to settle down even in old age; if the eyebrows are missing, they will lose their ancestral property and leave their family. If both the forehead (Heaven) and the lower jaw (Earth) are sunken, they will have to move nine times in their lifetime. If one has such a face, they must change their family and move their residence. A poem says: The "Migration Palace" is located in the "Heavenly Granary," and if this area is deeply sunken, the person will rarely have a place to settle down throughout their life; if the fish tail corresponds with it in old age, then they will certainly be a person who travels for official duties and has an extraordinary life journey.

位居中正，上合離宮。伏羲貫頂，一生不到公庭。驛馬朝歸，終身官司不援。光潤明淨，顯達超群。額角堂堂，犯著官司亦貴解。紋痕陷破，常招橫事。眼如赤鯉，決犯刑名。詩曰：官祿榮宮仔細看，山根倉庫要相當，忽然明淨無痕點，定是為官貴長久。

The "Official Rank Palace" is located at the "Zhongzheng" position on the forehead, extending upward to the "Li Palace" on the top of the head. If there is a straight "Fu Xi Bone" running from the forehead to the top of the head, the person will never need to go to court. If the "Yi Ma" position on the side of the forehead is full and turns toward the head with a harmonious appearance, the person will never get into legal trouble. If this area is bright, smooth, and clean, the person will achieve high status and stand out. If the forehead angle is prominent and strong, even if legal issues arise, the person can resolve them with the help of a nobleman. However, if there are markings, depressions, or damage in this area, the person is prone to sudden misfortunes. If the eyes are red like a red carp, the person is certain to commit a crime. A poem says: The "Official Rank Palace" should be carefully examined, and it must be in harmony with the "Shan Gen," "Tian Cang," and "Di Ku." If this area suddenly becomes bright and smooth without any markings or points, it indicates that the person will hold an official position and enjoy long-term prestige.

位居天倉，接連地閣。天地相配，平生福祿滔滔。頭圓額窄，知苦在初年。額大頭尖，困苦還來晚景。眉高耳聳，還可榮身。眉低耳枯，休言福德。詩曰：福德天倉地閣圓，五星光照福綿綿，若還缺陷並尖破，衣食平生更不全。

The "Fortune Virtue Palace" is located on the side of the forehead at "Heavenly Granary," connecting downward to the chin at "Earthly Pavilion." When "Heaven" (Heavenly Granary) and "Earth" (Earthly Pavilion) are well matched, one's life is filled with continuous blessings and good fortune. If the head is round but the forehead is narrow, one will suffer hardship in early years; if the forehead is wide but the head is pointed, one will face difficulties in old age. Those with high eyebrows and prominent ears may achieve honor and success; however, those with low eyebrows and withered ears will have little to do with fortune and virtue. A poem says: The "Fortune Virtue Palace" requires both "Heavenly Granary" and "Earthly Pavilion" to be full and complete. If the five stars (the two ears, forehead, mouth, and nose) are bright and smooth, then blessings will flow continuously. But if there are defects, sharpness, or damage, one's whole life will lack even basic necessities like food and clothing.

相貌者乃總論也，先觀五嶽，次察三停。若五嶽朝天，三停平等，行坐威嚴，為人尊重，此人富貴多榮。如五嶽歪斜，三停不正，一世貧苦。額主初限，鼻主中限，水星地閣主未限。有一陷，斷為凶惡。詩曰：相貌須教上下停，三停平等更相生，若是一處無均配，不是滔滔高福人。

The "Appearance Palace" is a general overview: first examine the "Five Mountains," then observe the "Three Stops." If the Five Mountains face upward and the Three Stops are of equal length, the person will have dignity in walking, sitting, and standing, and will be respected by others, thus achieving wealth and honor. If the Five Mountains are crooked and the Three Stops are uneven, the person will suffer poverty throughout their life. The forehead represents early years (the initial period), the nose represents middle age (the middle period), and the mouth (Water Star) and the lower part of the face (earth terrace) represent old age (the final period). If any of the Three Stops is sunken, it indicates misfortune. A poem says: to examine the Appearance Palace, one should look at the upper, middle, and lower Three Stops. They should be of equal length and mutually supportive; if any part is uneven, then it is not the case of a person with abundant blessings and great fortune.

Thirteenth, if the face is long like a horse's face and the eyes are like phoenix eyes, then one holds the rank of first class official.

Sixteenth, if the five exposed parts (eyes that are visible but not bright, nose that is exposed but not upturned, lips that show teeth but not lifted, ears that are visible but do not lose their pearl-like quality) all conform to the standards and none of the patterns are broken, one can be appointed as the national master. Seventeenth, if all five abnormal features are fully present and form a special pattern, it is a sign of supreme wealth. Eighteenth, if the eyes still have light in the dark, it indicates a rank of first class official. Among these eighteen signs of supreme nobility, if any one of them is broken, one will not attain this level of honor.

男以神為主，女以血為主。凡男人血衰則病多，血旺則病少。凡女相皮薄、皮急、尖削、血衰、氣短、神粗豈能長壽？凡女人神足皮厚，皮寬肉實骨正，自然福壽之婦。詩曰：血衰皮急命能全，皮薄枯乾壽不堅，若是皮寬逆血旺。

Men are governed by spirit, while women are governed by blood. When a man's vital energy and blood are weak, he tends to fall ill more often; when they are strong, he tends to be healthier. If a woman has thin skin, tight skin, a sharp and narrow appearance, weak blood and vital energy, short and labored breathing, and a coarse and turbid spirit, how can she expect to live long? If a woman has abundant spirit, thick and solid skin, plump and firm flesh, and straight bones, she naturally becomes a woman of fortune and longevity. The poem says: those with weak blood and tight skin will not live long; those with thin and dry skin will not have a firm lifespan; if the skin is broad and supple and the blood and vital energy are strong—here the original text is missing some words, and the last sentence is lost, leaving only three lines of the poem.

寒者，六府不停，三停不配，五行不得。為依一局失垣，星辰失陷，位難有志，亦不顯達，乃一生寒滯之相也。通者，可原可取，因部位不勻，氣色不配，連年困苦，忽得一位要取，氣色一開，天子有青雲之志，庶民有德澤綿綿。

the so-called "cold" : the "six organs" are not balanced, the "three parts" are not harmonized, and the Five Phases are not in their proper positions. This is like a star chart where the original constellations are lost and the stars are each in their own fallen positions. Although one may have aspirations, they cannot be realized, and success is not attained, indicating a lifelong state of obscurity and stagnation.the so-called "communication" : there is originally something that can be understood and taken advantage of, but due to unevenness in the facial features and mismatched color tones, one suffers from hardship for several consecutive years. Suddenly, a crucial part gains color and vitality, and once the color is established, those who are rulers will have the ambition to rise straight up to the clouds, while common people will also have enduring virtue and benevolence.

得者，因上述部位不好，下述卻好，一行到好處，自然得。失者，乃氣色好，部位不好。書云：氣色定行年休咎。

the so-called "得": if the previous area is not good, but the next area is good, when the flow year arrives at the good area, one naturally gains something.the so-called "失": even if the complexion is good but the area is not good, one will eventually lose. The book of physiognomy says: the complexion determines the fortune and misfortune of the current year's flow year — the area is the root, and the complexion is the application; both should be considered together.

凡病者，不過災疾也，應在疾厄宮看此宮，青暗不過小疾，此宮黑赤色，不過有災，非主死。凡口、準、命、耳，此四宮犯相剋之氣色，即死無疑。克乃五行相剋之理，不可不看詳細。一面加蒙，必遭大難。天庭色滯，必遭大難。邊地色暗，必遭大難。

the so-called "disease," is nothing more than illness, which manifests in the "Ji E Gong" (the area of illness and misfortune, covering the mountain root, year position, and longevity position). One should look at the color of this area: if it is dark green, it indicates only a minor illness; if it shows black or red, it indicates some misfortune, but not death. However, if the four areas of the mouth (Water Star), the tip of the nose (Earth Star), the命宫 (Imperial Palace, also known as Yintang), and the two ears (the two stars of Metal and Wood) show colors indicating mutual control among the Five Elements, then death is certain.the so-called "control" refers to the principle of mutual control among the Five Elements, which must be examined carefully. If the entire face appears as if covered with a layer of mist, great calamity is certain; if the "Tian Ting" (the forehead area) shows dull and dark color, great calamity is certain; if the "bian di" (the side of the forehead) shows dark and dull color, great calamity is certain.
