Synopsis

It is said that this book was written by Yuan Gong in the Ming Dynasty. Because Yuan Gong called himself Liuzhuang layman in his later years, it was named "Liuzhuang Shenxiang", also known as "Liuzhuang Xiangfa". This book not only inherits and develops the essence of "Ma Yi Shen Xiang", but also pioneers the study of female physiognomy. It can be called a pioneering work that stands side by side with "Ma Yi Shen Xiang". Because "Liuzhuang Shenxiang" is very effective, everyone from the princes and nobles to the common people is amazed. Therefore, it was selected by Qianlong as a classic of physiognomy and later included in "Sikuquanshu".

Reader comments

This book is very interesting! It talks about a lot of knowledge about physiognomy, such as predicting the gender and health of the fetus by observing the facial features and physical signs of pregnant women. It feels so magical! I especially like the content about determining the gender of the fetus. Although I don't know if it is accurate, it is quite interesting. However, I don't really like the idea that people's fate is entirely based on their appearance. I still believe that people's efforts and abilities are more important. Overall, this is a very enlightening book and worth reading.

Yes, take the essence.

There are indeed similarities between physiognomy and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, both of which focus on observing speech and color, from the outside to the inside. Interestingly, in ancient times, people often attributed the outcome of a disease to destiny; but now, when diagnosis and treatment are unsatisfactory, they often blame the doctor. In contrast, it is quite ironic.
