You are the chart.
Read the face. Read the hand.
No photograph, no camera — only two drawings and the old manuals beside them. The face carries the twelve palaces, the three courts, and the five features; the palm carries its lines and mounts. Hover any zone and the reading appears. Offered honestly — for reflection, not prophecy.
Face and palm are read at a glance — a portrait drawn in quick, warm strokes. It catches the mood of a life more than its mechanism, and it changes as you do.
Beside it stands the four-pillar chart: an exact schematic derived from the calendar. Where BaZi calculates, physiognomy observes. Two ways of looking, one person.
“相由心生” — the face is born of the heart. What you read here is a mirror, not a verdict.
A face divides into maps laid one over another. Choose a layer, then hover a zone — on the drawing or in the index — to read what the 麻衣 tradition sees there. Nothing here is fixed; a palace can be cultivated.
The left hand — closest to the heart. Its three great lines cross a landscape of seven mounts, each named for a star. Hover a line or a mount; switch on variations to see what a long, short, or forked line is said to mean.
“Physiognomy is the impressionistic sketch laid beside BaZi's engineering drawing — one catches the likeness, the other the measurements.”
No palace, no line decides anything by itself. A weak nose beside a bright forehead reads differently than a weak nose alone. The old rule: never judge a single sign in isolation.
Manuals prize 神 (shén) — the light in the eyes, the ease in the face — above any measurement. A generous life re-draws its own map. The features are a starting line, not a sentence.
Take this as a mirror to think beside, not a fortune to obey. Nothing here is medical, and nothing is fixed. Read it, smile, and keep your own counsel.
