hat if you could determine what was most important to the person you just met or how your new client makes decisions, just by looking at their face? Cool, huh? Chinese Face Reading has been used for centuries in China and worldwide to help everyone from the Emperor to government officials, from military generals to matchmakers, to understand and communicate more effectively with others.

It is an ancient art and science that some Chinese scholars say dates back 3,000 to 5,000 years. According to Henning Hai Lee Yang, a Mian Xiang (Face Reading) expert, the first Face Reading school is said to have been established around 481 B.C.E. There are many accountings of how Face Reading originated, the most popular version was that the Emperor wanted to know which general to send into battle to ensure that he retained power. The ancient monks and scholars started making observations and inventories of faces, documenting that similarity in facial features correlated with similarity in personality traits and character. I venture to guess that you’ve noticed that people who look alike often act alike.
