What are Face Lines in face reading?
Face lines are the wrinkles and expression lines that form over the years through expressions, habits and age. In face reading they are read as a trace of the emotions a person feels often. Horizontal forehead lines are linked with responsibility, and vertical lines between the brows with intense thought and determination. Lines at the outer corners of the eyes fall in what Mian Xiang calls the marriage palace, and when they come from laughter they are read as warm relationships. The lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth are called fa ling and are read as authority and order in later years. The reader looks at the depth and evenness of a line, whether it is broken,. A common misconception is that lines are only a sign of ageing; the tradition reads them as a record of a life lived.
