Synopsis

"The Complete Collection of Shen Xiang" is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese physiognomy. It was inscribed secretly by Chen Tuan in the Song Dynasty and revised by Yuan Zhongche in the Ming Dynasty. It brings together the essence of physiognomy in the past dynasties such as Mayi, Liuzhuang, Guigu, and Tang Ju. It is the most complete and widely circulated classic among the ancient physiognomy classics. The book is divided into three volumes: the first, middle and second volumes. With "Physics arises from the heart and changes with the heart" as the core, it systematically expounds the outlines of physiognomy such as the Ten Views, the Five Methods, the Three Stops, the Five Mountains, the Four Dus, the Five Senses and the Six Palaces, and discusses in detail the shape, the five elements, the spirit, the virtues, the complexion, and the good and bad luck of the year. Its theory is rooted in the idea of yin and yang, the five elements, and the correspondence between heaven and man. It looks from the outside to the inside, observes the heart with shapes, and proves destiny with phases. It has both a theoretical system and practical techniques. This book is not only a practical guide for observing people's appearance, but also contains the wisdom of life and morality. It emphasizes that fortune can be used as a reference instead of superstition. Virtue can change appearance, and cultivating the mind can change fate. It is an important book for studying traditional physiognomy and gaining insight into human nature and destiny.
