Face Reading & TCM (面相与中医学)

For a person engaged in Traditional Chinese Medicine research, this subject is not easy to write well, but I accept this challenge. In the traditional China metaphysic knowledge, we have five arts, they are: Mountain ( 山Shan),Medicine (医Yi), Destiny (命Ming), Divination (卜Pu) and form (相Xiang). These knowledge are based on I-Ching to operate as a template of human life in pursuit of good health,happiness and good fortune. In Chinese medicine, one of the four diagnostic method is to look at the form. A good doctor must have a very sharp observation on the form, aspecially a clear observation on the patient's face, palm and other body part to get more information on the disease that he have.

If a person's fate is not good, I don't really think a fortune teller or Feng Shui master can help him, because fate is in all about your health. A person who in bad luck, his health must be in big troubles.That's why you never see a rich and successful person with atheistic eyes,tired body and weak mind. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, we can also get a glimpse from his facial expression of how his internal organs function.

During the early 5th century, Bodhidharma not only having a great achievement in Buddhism, but he is also a guru in face reading. He believes the most impotant part in a person's face is the eyes. If rating by 100 marks to comment on eyes, cheek bones, nose, forehead, chin, eyebrow, mouth, teeth, ears, the eyes accounted for 50 marks, this mean your eyes are windows of showing your health, wealth and destiny. In Chinese Medicine, we can also observe the performance of your internal organs through eyes. Through our experience, if the elderly's eye vision began to weaken, we must be very much concerned about their health, if their eyes turn blind, they will be living a very difficult senior life.

In the medical consultation process, I very much attention to the patient's eyes, even the dark circles, fine lines, dark spots, or bags under the eyes, I would propose that patients pay more attention to the usual rest time, because of early aging phenomenon began to appear in the eye. If they don't take care for their body, a few years later, their health status will become worse.

Apart from the eyes, the facial complexion of observation is also important. Every morning when you get out of bed, you must observe your face in the natural light source before brushing your teeth, eating breakfast . Carefully observe the Qi & colour changes on your face, you will notice soemething different as the more times you look at yourself. A person who have a good life and bright future, his skin is smooth & moist, the facial Qi & Colour like natural light, bright and very fresh, refreshing. On the contrary, if the face bleak or look like hovering dark clouds, he is in the bad period of his life.

What is Qi & Colour? The so-called "Qi" is the innate motive, coupled with the strength function of internal organs arise. "Qi" is acquired fortune (Theory of Five Elements Evolutions and Six Kinds of Natural Factorsship) characterization, which is based on the five elements, four seasons of the solar term arising from change. In our clinic, we not only study the facial Qi & colour changes in a patient, we also very concern about the tones, freckle, wrinkle that appeared on their face. In general, we believe that a healthy person must have good skin and also good Qi & colour. That's why we developed a series of cosmetic acupucnture programs to help patients who want to look good or improve their luck.

In short, a healthy person must have sparkling eyes, the Qi & colour must be good, his face must not seriously undermine by spots, wrinkles, acne problems, because is the embodiment of health and vitality is come from the skin. The more healthy is that person,he will be about to perform better in all aspects of life, and not to mention, he can also attract positive energy!

Give you a tip, if you want to enjoy good fortune,you should be less angry, less complaining and spend more time to understand God (religion), more self-cultivation and try to help those in need, the so-called relative to your own heart, when your appearance changes in flavor, that is, wealth, career movement, when changes in the work of transportation.

对一个从事中医研究工作的人来说，这个题材并不容易写得好，不过我还是接受这个挑战。在中国五术是指〝山、医、命、卜、相〞这五种学问。它以易经为范本，是人类为了追求人生幸福所设计的一门趋吉避凶的方术。在中医学里，四诊法中的望诊也属于〝相〞的范畴，我的老师陈宝春前辈是易经高手，他在课堂上要求念中医的学生一定要有一双明察秋亳的眼晴。

一个人的命运不好，就算找了一流的算命家或风水师都帮不了他，因为命运是在健康的掌控之中。一个终日双眼无神、精神涣散、头脑不清醒的人运气一定不好，他的健康肯定出了大问题。从中医的角度分析，我们也可以从他的面相一窥他的五脏六腑的功能表现。

达摩祖师不只在佛学上有成就，在相学也有很深的造诣。他认为一个人的脸孔中，最重要的是眼晴。如按100分来评论目、颧、鼻、额、颏、眉、口、齿、耳，眼晴就占了50分，可见一个人的富贵、贫贱、寿夭、劳逸、刚柔、生死，不但全身的精、气与神(五脏六腑的精气)都系于此灵魂之窗。当然，连最基本的才智愚拙也能从一个人的眼神观察出来。有的老年人如果眼晴开始模糊不清或视力减弱时，我们就要十分关注他们的健康了，如果眼晴都快瞎了，做人又有什么意思呢？

在诊病的过程中，我十分留意病人的眼晴，那怕是黑眼圈、细纹、黑斑或眼袋问题，我都会建议病人多注意平时的作息时间，因为早期衰老的现象开始出现在眼部了，如果不多照顾身体，再过几年，那些影响美丽的障碍物(黑眼圈、细纹、黑斑或眼袋问题) 就会〝永久性居留〞在眼晴周围，再过多几年，眼神都没了，健康也会每况愈下。

除了眼晴之外，面部气色的观察也很重要。每天早上一起床，在你洗脸、刷牙、吃早餐之前，选在自然光线之处，仔细观察自己的脸上的气色。按气色的观点来看，气色美、润泽，象发光、发亮而且很清新、清爽的那种气色，就是人生前途一片光明的表现。相反的，如果脸上暗淡无光或乌云笼罩，〝黑口黑面〞，〝鞋口鞋面〞整个〝晚娘〞托世，这就代表运气哀败。

气色，简单地说，一是「气」，二是「色」。所谓的「气」是先天之动机，再加上五脏六腑的功能强弱而产生。「色」则是后天运气(这里指中医最高境界的五运六气学问)的表徵，这是依据五行、四季的节气而产生的变化。在谦和堂，我们除了研究可以改善脸上气色、美白、祛斑、抗皱等中药和针灸的方法，我们还开发了外服纯中药的面膜，在中医美容的领域中取得一定的成果。

总之，一个人的眼晴要炯炯有神，气色要好，脸上没有严重破坏美感的斑点、皱纹、痤疮的问题，才是健康与活力的体现。身体越健康的人，工作表现也会更好，生活各方面也能有正面能量的提升，命运学然也会变好啦！再给大家一个tip，如果你脸上气色很差，行霉运很久了或身体健康很差，你应该少发脾气、少抱怨，花更多时间认识神(宗教信仰)，潜心灵修，修身养性，多帮助社会上有需要的人，所谓相由心生，当你的相貌气色转变时，也就是财运、事业运、工作运转变之时。
