1. People with Small Faces
Some people are naturally born with small faces and small facial bones (not referring to being overweight or underweight). These individuals tend to be more conservative, timid, and seek stability in their actions.
From an investment perspective, people with small faces are more suited to conservative investments. They are risk-averse and prefer traditional approaches.
People with small faces don’t have much guile, but they also lack strong opinions. They are moderate and content with their lot, making them suitable as friends.
2. People with Large Faces
Individuals with large faces and larger facial bones (again, not referring to being overweight or underweight) are more adventurous and have a stronger sense of vanity.
Generally, those in politics or business often have a large, square, and dignified face. They are good at making friends and are not overly concerned with minor details.
However, such people can also be easily tempted by external influences and are prone to financial losses.
3. People with Thin and Long Faces
Although many people prefer the “melon seed” face shape, in physiognomy, a thin and long face is not considered a favorable facial structure.
A thin and long face is also known as a “horse face.” People with this face are mature in thought and amiable.
However, they have a fatal flaw: they tend to be melancholic and invite trouble upon themselves.
Individuals with thin and long faces are prone to giving up easily and taking a long time to recover from setbacks. They are more likely to be trapped in their own small world, self-centered, complaining about their circumstances, and feeling self-pity.
4. Square Face Shape (“Zhong” Character Shape)
The square face shape, also known as the “Zhong” character shape, is one of the common ordinary facial types.
Usually, due to high cheekbones, the face protrudes, forming a diamond shape, hence it is also referred to as the “Zhong” character shape.
People with this facial structure have ample endurance to tackle issues, but they can also be prone to blame others when faced with setbacks.
Generally, individuals with this face shape are not very popular, giving off a sense of “aggressiveness”; they are not easy to provoke. Their unyielding character can lead to arguments over issues, and their tendency to complain makes them disliked by others.
Men with the “Zhong” character face shape are indicative of a preference for power and control, while women with this shape tend to dislike being restrained.
5. Oval Face Shape
Individuals with an oval face are likely the most disliked and prone to offend others in the workplace.
People with this facial shape are very strong-willed and quick to jealousy and anger. They are energetic and thorough in their actions, and their overbearing nature makes them reluctant to heed others’ opinions, leading to conflicts.
Moreover, those with an oval face are “stubborn” and inflexible, stubbornly adhering to their own views and quick-tempered. They may fare well when dealing with intelligent and problem-solving individuals, but when faced with less astute people, they are prone to constant bickering.
However, there is an advantage to this face shape; these individuals are very good at self-promotion and excel at seizing opportunities.
6. Rectangular Face Shape
The rectangular face shape is also one of the common facial types, also known as the “Guo” character shape, characterized by its square and orderly appearance.
The personality of individuals with this face shape is as orderly and calm as their facial structure. People with this face are not very talkative and can come across as cold and strict, with high standards for themselves.
Often, their overly upright and meticulous nature leads to their exclusion by many. Their strong sense of self-esteem does not tolerate any doubt from others.
Both men and women with this facial shape can be perceived as rigid and less likable when dealing with issues.
7. Flat Face (“Meat Pie” Face)
The term “meat pie” face does not refer to a face as round and chubby as a meat pie, but rather it describes a face that appears particularly “flat” when viewed from the side.
These individuals may not stand out from the front, as their features are no different from the average person, and they may have various facial shapes. However, when seen from the side, their faces are very flat.
People with this facial shape tend to have a hasty personality, and may even be somewhat neurotic, leading to frequent irritability and a general sense of dissatisfaction with their surroundings.
They often start tasks but fail to complete them, frequently leaving things unfinished. They are not ideal partners or colleagues in a professional setting.
8. Earthy Face
As we all know, the earth is vast and boundless, and so is the “earthy” face.
An earthy face gives an impression of great width, with a broad forehead, cheekbones, and chin that spread out, creating an indescribable sense of expansiveness.
Individuals with this face shape tend to be rebellious and stubborn, preferring to act independently and not taking advice from others, often choosing to act alone.
If such a person also has a lot of flesh on their face, it indicates a potential for irritability and a higher risk factor.
There are advantages and disadvantages; people with an earthy face possess an extraordinary willpower, enabling them to persist in things that others cannot.
9. Triangular Face
As the name suggests, a triangular face resembles the shape of a triangle. Some people may have an overly altered appearance due to excessive cosmetic surgery, making the triangular shape more pronounced, but a naturally triangular face simply suggests a resemblance to the triangle without being an actual triangle.
There are two types of triangular faces: the upright triangle and the inverted triangle.
The upright triangle, with a broad upper part and a narrow lower part, indicates a person who is diligent, honest, and follows rules and social norms, being content with their role.
The inverted triangle, with a narrow upper part and a broad lower part, suggests a person who is cunning, sly, action-oriented, creative, but lacks the drive to execute their ideas.
Individuals with an inverted triangular face are more suited to creative industries, while those with an upright triangular face are better suited for professions such as accounting or administrative roles.
10. Egg-shaped Face
The egg-shaped face is also one of the common facial types, similar to the triangular face, and it comes in two varieties.
The top-pointed type and the bottom-pointed type. Generally speaking, the bottom-pointed type is more aesthetically pleasing, but people with this type tend to be talkative and gossipy, belonging to the typical category of those who talk a lot but do little.
The top-pointed type is the opposite; they are not loquacious and are more inclined towards action. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. As the saying goes, “trouble comes from the mouth,” speaking too much can lead to trouble, and talking without acting can also lead to a loss of credibility, making one seem unreliable.
However, it’s also not good to only act and not speak; this can lead to being blamed and used as a scapegoat, and if one’s hard work is stolen by others, it’s natural to feel discontent.
11. Barrel-shaped Face
No one wants a “barrel” waist, but the barrel-shaped face is something many people dream of having. It is similar to the oval face, with an evenly slimmed face and a rounded chin without the sharpness of a melon seed face, making it very attractive.
However, those with a naturally barrel-shaped face are generally more composed, intelligent, and creative, and they often have a crowd of people around them.
People with this facial shape are usually not unattractive, and thus they tend to be somewhat arrogant. They often act in unexpected ways, making them hard to predict, and they are adept at handling relationships and navigating the workplace.
Despite this, many are willing to be friends with them; although their arrogance can be off-putting, their confidence is also attractive.
In fact, every person’s face is unique, each one filled with the stories of our lives. Everything we experience etches itself onto our faces, sculpting them with care.
As we age, our facial features change, with cheekbones becoming more prominent and the face taking on a different shape from our youth.
People with broad minds have faces that are marked by fortune, and we can clearly see the signs of kindness and benevolence in their features.
Those with narrow minds have prominent cheekbones and sharp features, which can indicate a more critical nature.
Whether one has a broad or narrow mind, whether they are beautiful or not, it’s important to shape our faces through life experiences rather than through plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery can involve the removal and filling of facial bones, leading to a loss of natural structure. While there may not be immediate issues, over time and with aging, the negative effects of surgery can become more apparent.
Moreover, plastic surgery can lead to a homogenization of faces, robbing individuals of their unique identities and making them more generic.
One should come to terms with themselves, as spirit, presence, attire, and wisdom are the most important aspects.
We can gain insights into a person’s character through physiognomy, but in the era of plastic surgery, we cannot rely solely on facial features to understand a person.
In conclusion, physiognomy can provide an initial understanding of a person, but the true measure of one’s character is best assessed through interaction, and one should not judge a person solely based on their appearance.
