[translation] People often say "male man", which is to use man as a synonym for man.In fact, it is true, because I have never seen a man without beard and eyebrows, so he is called a man.People often say: "Young people have two eyebrows, and when they are old, they have one beard."These two sentences mean that the fate of a person when he is young depends on the appearance of his eyebrows, while his luck in his later years depends mainly on his beard.But there are exceptions. If the face is purple, even if there is no beard, the status will be noble; There is no beard, just a widowed face, but his achievements are unrivaled.But this kind of situation is only encountered by chance. After all, more than 90% of people have beards and eyebrows.

[translation] Eyebrows advocate brilliance, and the so-called brilliance is the light that flashes from the tip of the eyebrows.A wealthy person has three layers of brilliance at the root, middle, and tip of his eyebrows. Of course, some have only two layers, and some have only one layer. The so-called "image of civilization" means that the eyebrows should be dense and well-proportioned. , Delicate and smooth, not heavy and dull, thick and dense.Looking from a distance, it looks like two phoenixes soaring in the wind, like a pair of dragons flying in the wind, this is a good eyebrow.If it looks like a mass of scattered ink, it is the most inferior eyebrow.The eyebrows are upside down, in the shape of an inverted splayed, which is a good eyebrow appearance.Also drooping eyebrows, in the shape of a figure of eight, is an inferior look. If the eyebrows are longer, they should have ups and downs. If they are shorter, they should be upright. Don't be shaped like a dry rope.If the eyes are like two sharp swords, you will become the general who leads the three armies, and if the eyebrows are like two worn-out brooms, you will be killed.In addition, there are various other signs and symptoms, which must be carefully identified.However, if the eyebrows are too long and oppress the eyes, it will make the eyes look sluggish and unfavorable; the eyebrows are scattered and disorderly, making the eyes look troubled; Qi, these are the most inferior eyebrows.

[translation] Beards, some people have more, some people have less, whether they are more or less, they must be in harmony with and match the eyebrows.Those with many beards should be delicate and smooth, sparse and clear, neither straight nor hard, and have distinct lengths.Those with less beards should be moist and shiny, strong and straight, full of charm, and echo with other parts.If the beard is bent like a screw, the person must be smart, with lofty vision and open-mindedness.The beard is long and slender, like a frayed rope, with small twists and turns everywhere. This kind of person has a suave and suave personality, but has no desire for adultery, and he will definitely be famous in the future.The beard is strong and powerful, like a sharp halberd, this kind of person will definitely become a high official in the future and hold great power.The beard is fresh and clear, like gleaming silver bars, this kind of person is a minister of the court at a young age.All of the above are highly talented figures in official career and officialdom.If a man's beard is purple, his eyebrows are like sharp swords, and his voice is loud and strong.The beard is as fluffy as a qiu, and some of them grow behind the ears. Such a beard has a refreshing and handsome bone and spirit.Even if you can't seal a thousand miles, you can still be a prime minister for ten years.For other beards, if the auxiliary beard grows first, it will not be beneficial after all.There is no beard among the people, and they suffer and suffer all their lives.The nose hair is connected to the beard, the fate is not smooth, the foreground is dark.Mustache grows to cover mouth, starves for life and so on.The viciousness of these beards is obvious, so there is no need to discuss them in detail here.
