Where did the Ancient Art of Siang Mien or face reading come from?
We have to go back over 3,000 years to Ancient China to find the origins of Physiognomy, the art of face reading.
Confucius he say: "A child can do nothing about his face, but an adult is responsible for his own appearance."
Passed down from master to pupil through the generations and often kept as a most treasured secret, the art of face reading has become an essential part of everyday life in the East.
If you spend time amongst the Chinese, they will often stare at you, not out of rudeness, but because they are reading your character. The Chinese people believe that to understand others, you should know yourself first. So they use their knowledge of as a form of self diagnosis. Indeed, prior to blood tests, CAT and X-Ray machines, Physiognomy was a highly developed form of Oriental Medical diagnosis.
