Face Reading Guide

Two millimetres of eye gap can flip a reading's verdict, and a selfie can inflate nose width by a third. Why serious face reading starts with landmark measurement: computable ratios, repeatable results, honest confidence.

The Three Courts and Five Eyes form the coordinate grid of Chinese face reading: three vertical zones for life's stages, five eye-widths across. Learn where the lines fall and how they are measured.

The Twelve Palaces are face reading's thematic map — Life, Career, Wealth, Property, Travel, Support, Parents, Marriage, Siblings, Children, Resilience and Fortune. Where each sits and what it reads.

A plain-language introduction to Chinese face reading: the Three Courts and Five Eyes grid, the Twelve Palaces, complexion — and how modern landmark measurement replaces eyeballing.

Chinese face reading gives each feature an office — brows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears — and maps forehead, chin, nose and cheekbones as Five Peaks. What each reads and how they combine into patterns.

The Wealth Palace sits on the nose tip and wings — the 'treasury star' with its vault doors. Where it sits, what tradition says, and how nose-wing ratio and jaw-support patterns read one's style with money.

The Children Palace sits at the under-eye 'lying silkworm', read in the modern register for kinship warmth and caring style — expressive or reserved. Location, the three bands, and measurement conditions.

The Fortune Palace spans the temples and outer jaw and mirrors itself in cheek complexion — stored blessings and one's recent state. The bands of glow, balance and dimness, and why complexion deserves monthly retests.

The Parents Palace sits at the subtle Sun and Moon angles above the brows, read for ties with parents and family legacy. How to find them, tradition's careful phrasing, and why measurement needs the hairline.

The Marriage Palace spans the outer eye corners toward the temples, read for one's style in love rather than romantic fortune. Where it sits, tradition read with modern restraint, and the three eye-tilt bands.

The Career Palace runs down the centre of the forehead — the seat of ambition in Chinese face reading. Where it sits, what tradition says, and how the Upper Court's share and the Five Peaks pattern are measured.

The palace at the nose root between the eyes is read today for one thing: stress and recovery — how you carry pressure and how you recharge. Location, the three bands, and what measurement honestly requires.

The Life Palace sits between the brows — the Yintang, first of the Twelve Palaces and keeper of the face's overall tone. How to locate it, what tradition says, and how eye-gap measurement reads it.

The Support Palace spans the jawline and lower cheeks — read for leadership, loyalty and the team one gathers. Where it sits, its modern reading, and how square, balanced and tapered jaws are interpreted.

The Travel Palace sits at the forehead's upper corners — the classical 'post-station horse' points, read for relocation, change and fortune on the road. Its bands and the 'gains in motion' pattern, explained.

The Property Palace sits between eyebrow and eye — the band read for home, settling and one's sense of roots. Where it sits, what tradition says, and how the wide, moderate and tight bands are interpreted.

The Siblings Palace is the eyebrows themselves, read for bonds with peers, friends and collaborators. How brow-versus-eye length is judged, what density adds, and why brows need precision measurement.

The five action-group archetypes explained — Vanguard Gaze, First Mover, Nomad Spirit, Pathfinder Crown, Steady Charger: their feature combinations, tempo of execution and radius of movement.

The five career-pattern archetypes explained — Sovereign Jaw, Strategist Brow, Iron Foundation, Peak Climber, Grand Vision: their feature combinations, working styles and natural seats at the table.

The five mind-group archetypes explained — Analyst's Edge, Anchor Mind, Marathon Mind, Artisan Profile, Golden Mean: their feature combinations and each one's grain of thought and temperament.

The 24 archetypes are not random labels: measured ratios must land in specific bands together for a title to light up. How the matching rules, priority order and rarity tiers of the archetype system work.

The five social-group archetypes explained — Magnetic Charm, Social Compass, Gentle Sage, Alliance Maker, Mirror Grace: their feature combinations, and each one's warmth, reach and way with people.

The four wealth-group archetypes explained — Fortune Keeper, Treasury Nose, Deep Root, Quiet Craftsman: their feature combinations and money styles — keeping, gathering, compounding in place, or craft as capital.

Camera precision mode guides capture live in the browser: iris-based distance prompts against distortion, pose guidance, multi-frame averaging, iris-scale calibration for real size — unlocking brow, silkworm, nose-root and complexion metrics.

Five rules for a measurement-grade face photo: arm's length or more against perspective distortion, straight-on and level, even light, hairline and ears visible, no makeup or filters — each explained with its reason.

Manual calibration hand-fixes what auto-detection cannot: three hairline points on the true hair root, four ear points on the rim's top and lobe. Where each point goes, and which palaces suffer when misplaced.

How can face reading work without uploading your photo? The landmark model runs locally in your browser; the server only ever receives coordinate JSON, and the share card renders locally too. The principle, plus how to verify it yourself.
