Philtrum

What is the Philtrum in face reading?

The philtrum is the vertical groove between the base of the nose and the upper lip, and in face reading it is linked with life energy, vitality and lineage. In Mian Xiang it is called ren zhong and it marks age 51 on the age map, where the period of the nose passes to that of the mouth. The reader looks at the length and depth of the groove, the clarity of its edges and whether it widens toward the lip. A long, deep, straight philtrum that opens slightly at the bottom is read as strong life energy, vitality and a warm period in family bonds. A shallow groove is read as a need to spend energy with care. A common misconception is that the philtrum gives firm information about the body; this is a cultural tradition and stays a reading for self-reflection.
