character from their face? The Chinese seem to think so. For over 2,000 years they have been practising Siang Mien, which is the art of

judging character and predicting fortune from an analysis of the face. It developed in the ancient imperial courts of China and consisted of

jealously guarded secrets that were hidden away in special books which only a very few could look at. These secrets cannot have been

that well guarded and must have got out because practically all Chinese practise some form of face analysis. Mothers tell their daughters

that men with flat noses and small ear lobes will make shy and rather dull husbands. So how does this analysis work? Well, to start with,

people’s faces can be classified according to one of ten basic shapes, each of which has its own special name. A triangular face, for

example, is called a fire-face. One which is square is known as a wall-face, while one which is diamond shaped is a jade-face. There are

even bucket-faces! Once the basic shape has been decided, then parts of the face such as the eyes, nose, chin and mouth can be

analyzed in their turn. People who have not got conventional or beautiful faces should not worry, as ugly people tend to be lucky. Anyway,

let us see how Siang Mien works by using Princess Diana as a practical example. To begin with, we can say that she has got a jade-face

which means that she must be strong-willed. This shape also belongs to people who are said to have had difficult chilhoods. As you may

know, the Princess’s parents were divorced when she was a child and this time must have been a period of great unhappiness. Turning to

more specific features, we can see that one eye is a little larger than the other. It is a known fact that people with eyes of different sizes are

often brought up by stepparents. They are also believed to be charming as well as being capable of great jealousy. We can see from her

photographs that the top of her ears goes above the line of her eyebrows. People who have high ears such as hers are likely to become

famous before the age of 30, while those who combine this with eyes of different sizes will be lucky.
