Eyes
Eyes: Known as the mirror of the soul, eyes reflect emotional depth, intuition and inner world. Eye shape, color and position are the most crucial elements in character analysis.
What are the Eyes in face reading?
The eyes are seen in face reading as the feature that most directly reflects a person's inner world, emotional depth and vitality, an idea summed up in the saying that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. In Mian Xiang they are one of the five main features and correspond to ages 35 to 40. Chinese tradition looks first for the vitality called shen: a bright, clear, focused gaze is read as a strong spirit and an alert mind. The reader looks at size, shape, the distance between the eyes, the eyelids and how much white shows around the iris. Large eyes are read as openness, deep-set eyes as reserve and wide-set eyes as tolerance. A common misconception is that eye colour decides character; the tradition gives more weight to the life in the gaze. Eyes are read together with the rest of the face.
