A person's face is a kind of open book. It says literally everything - the mouth and eyes, eyebrows and forehead, nose and any of the wrinkles. Of course, each of us face changes with age. However, its most basic features remain unchanged. According to them, according to Chinese physiognomists, one can always read even the fate of a person. At the same time, they highlight the five most important features. These include eyebrows and eyes, nose and mouth. Ears are included in this list.
But physiognomists still assign a special role to the nose. This part of the face is in its central place and is a certain fulcrum in assessing the balance of symmetry and proportionality of all features.
Specialists who are able to determine the character of a person by his appearance, argue that it is the nose that is the main source of information about its owner. After all, this is one of the most expressive characteristic features of the face, which indicates that its owner belongs to one or another type of personality.
Building
Looking at oneself in the mirror, a person sees only the outer nose, which can have a different external shape. However, inside this partthe body has the same structure for all people.
Due to what are the differences in the shape of the external nose? The appearance of this part protruding above the face depends on the location of cartilage and soft tissue, as well as bones. At the same time, they distinguish:
1. The bridge of the nose, which is the root of the nose. This is the outer section, located between the eyebrows. The nose bridge is of two types: wide and narrow.
2. The back of the nose. This part is formed by two side surfaces. These are the sides of the nose converging with each other.
3. side surfaces. These are parts of the back of the nose, passing into the wings and forming the nostrils.
4. Tip or apex of the nose. This is the part between the nostrils, that is, the place where the back begins.
Perfect nose
How does modern physiognomy relate to this detail of the human face? Experts in this field believe that the nose is at the epicenter of three zones, serving as a fulcrum in assessing the balance. That is why this parameter is of particular importance when reading a face.
The perfect nose (see photo below) is described in ancient Chinese manuscripts. According to ancient physiognomists, wings and a straight back, beautiful in their shape, should highlight this detail of the face.
A perfect nose is impossible without a well-rounded, that is, not particularly upturned, tip that closes the openings of the nostrils. And what should be the height and length of this parameter? Ancient Chinese manuscripts state that the ideal nose has a streamlined shape along its entire length, from the bridge of the nose to the tip. In addition, it does not tilt either to the left or to the right side of the face. In addition, the perfect nose harmonizes perfectly with other features. In addition, the perfect organ of respiration and smell is well rooted in its base, that is, it has a small area between the eyes and eyebrows. This is only possible with a strong bone base.
By its nature, the owner of the ideal, or "lion's" nose is a person of unsurpassed courage and a passionate strong nature. He easily succeeds in many endeavors, being a very gifted person. Such people are more likely to occupy a high and responsible position in society.
However, physiognomists emphasize that the fate of a person and his character cannot be finally determined only by the nose. This detail of the face should be studied in conjunction with other features. But it is interesting that of all the five most important parameters, the nose has the largest list of deviations from the ideal shape described above. After all, there are few perfect in the world. In addition, the perfect nose is not for everyone. The beauty of the face does not depend on each individual part of it, but on their harmonious combination with each other. For example, a slightly upturned nose is suitable for short women. And for tall ones, in this case, the nostrils will be too visible, which will not make the lady attractive. On a large face, a large nose will look good. With small features, everything should be the other way around.
Feature of Caucasians
Surely many of you know that, as a rule, residents of mountainous regions have a very outstanding sense of smell. They have high noses with a prominent hump on the back. On flat groundthe picture is quite different. Most of the population here is snub-nosed and flat-nosed.
There is a theory according to which a high nose is formed in people living high above sea level. Here, with rarefied air, it is convenient to have such a respiratory organ.
Greece and Rome
The difference between many indigenous people of these two countries also lies in the shape of the nose. This detail rises high above the face and has a piquant hump. For example, the Roman nose. In addition to its inherent loftiness, it has refined and elongated shapes, ending with a curved tip. Such a nose symbolizes militancy and courage, the ability to attack and repel attacks. No wonder the Roman soldiers were considered very brave. They have always bravely defended their possessions. We can see the Roman face in profile on the bas-reliefs of that time. They depict men who are clearly ready to answer the challenge thrown to them, get involved in a fierce battle and become conquerors of enemy territories.
Greeks also have high noses. However, unlike the Roman ones, they have an almost straight or slightly curved transition line between the forehead and nose. In other words, the Greeks almost completely lack the nose bridge. Unlike the Roman one, such a nose (see photo below) looks good on a woman's face.
Confirmation of this is the sculpture of Aphrodite, created in the days of the ancient Hellenes. Her graceful face is still a model of harmony and beauty.
Despite the fact that the Greek nose is often compared with the standard, physiognomists believe thatthe owners of such an organ of smell often become gigolos, they like to cheat, lie and cheat. At the same time, they are distinguished by outright cowardice.
Types of high noses
What does the bulge on the nose mean? This can be told based on its type, namely:
- small, with a high bulge;
- sloping;
- elongated.
The first of these types of noses is similar in shape to the beak of a parrot. This is especially noticeable when such a face is viewed in profile. A vivid example of this is Gennady Khazanov.
A high nose with a protruding back, as a rule, belongs to people with an artistic nature. They have all the necessary inclinations to occupy leadership positions, in which they will demand from their subordinates the ideal performance of the duties assigned to them. However, the leaders themselves will not be able to boast of outstanding results. People with such noses prefer to lead a secluded lifestyle. At the same time, they never have a strong desire to start a family. In addition, a high and sharp nose in a person can also mean that when a mistress appears, his wife and children will fade into the background.
The second type of nose has a sloping mound and medium size. It is noted that people with such an organ of smell have a high voice. The sloping of a high nose indicates the sentimentality of its owner, but one should not expect much tenderness from him.
The one whom nature endowed with a high long nose always remains a child in his soul. Such people are very constrained innew team and are very critical when choosing friends. A person with a high long nose constantly has a fear of being deceived. In addition, it is always difficult for him to part with his savings.
High noses can differ in many other parameters, which will also indicate to us the nature of their owner. And in this case, physiognomists carefully consider the length of the respiratory and olfactory organ, its shape, etc. All these details will allow the specialist to draw a clear picture of the life and behavior of a person.
Length
The size of the nose, that is, the distance from the bridge of the nose to its tip, is far from always close to ideal.
This determines the type of this face detail. So, physiognomists distinguish:
1. Long nose. This part of the face is characteristic of a conservative person, often arrogant and capable of technical, artistic or intellectual achievements. These people cannot make a career in the commercial world.
2. Extra long nose. The person who has it is endowed with all the traits described above, but most likely has a more spiritual nature. People with very long noses are often speculative, moody and unrealistic. However, in this case, you should carefully consider other parameters. So, if the length of the nasal bone is large, but at the same time it is wide, then this indicates a calm person with a stable character and a very calm temperament. Such people are capable of living a good life.
3. Pretty long nose. If it is remarkably balanced with the chin andeyes, as well as the proportion with the mouth, on both sides of which there are two deep lines, then it can be safely classified as ideal. People with this combination of elements are honest, have a good temperament and great authority. In addition, they are active, active and proud.
4. Short nose. Such a detail indicates a friendly and optimistic person with an open character. These people do not waste time on trifles and carry out the work entrusted to them thanks to their own emotional impulses.
Shape
What can this parameter of the most important face detail tell about a person? To determine the character by the shape of the nose is also not a problem for physiognomists. For example, what can be said about the owner of a skinny and bony nose? This person has a low ability to concentrate. A high nose of this type speaks of its owner as a proud and arrogant person who is rather difficult to communicate. Such a person, if he is in power, has invariable problems with subordinates. Most of the time these people are lonely. But in any case, a bony high nose belongs to a proud and stubborn person. In addition, this individual can be quite determined and aggressive.
What else can you tell about a person who has a very bony high nose on his face? Such people most often lead a closed life. But if a high nose is only slightly bony, but has a pointed tip, and looks rather flat and full, then it may belong to a very enterprising person. Another character trait of such a person is explosive impulsiveness,capable of pushing close people and friends.
Root of the Mountain
This name has a small area between the eyes. It is the root of the nose. When reading facial features, physiognomists pay special attention to this area. The fact is that the "root of the mountain" is associated with the possibility of success in life of its owner. If the platform is high enough, then it indicates the loyal character of a person who has close family ties. Also, this type of root of the nose speaks of the long life of its owner. A flat and at the same time full platform indicates a sincere person who has a warm heart and is happy in marriage.
Well, if the “root of the mountain” has a kink with a hollow and from it there are horizontal lines crossing the back of the nose, then this indicates the poor he alth of its owner and his possible early death. A low platform, combined with eyebrows hanging over the eyes, and the back of the nose deviated to the side, indicates either a deterioration in he alth in middle years, or the involvement of an individual in criminal activity.
However, the effect of a hollow or break must be compared with other parameters. So, if the general features of the face have straight and long contours, and the internal energy of a person is strong enough, then the difficulties described above will not be too serious.
Back
This parameter is important in determining the artistry of a person. Ideally, it should be a high nose with a straight and smooth back. In addition, such parameters portend a long life.
If the back of a person's nose is full and well rounded, then he is veryartistic. Besides, his marriage is sure to be a happy one.
If a person has a tall, but at the same time narrow nose that looks like the edge of meat, then his life is likely to be filled with hard, exhausting work. With a large and flat back of this respiratory organ, one can speak of a cold, prudent nature.
When you meet a person who has a high back of the nose, but at the same time low and weak cheekbones, know that he was probably born in a family with a high social position. However, in middle age, such people often face adversity, and in their later years, hardship.
Tip of nose
This detail of the respiratory and olfactory organ can also have a different shape, and therefore physiognomists are carefully looking at it. So, experts call the most favorable tip of the nose a “hanging gall”. It hangs down like an ink nut (gall). If such a tip is round, then it indicates a prosperous person who firmly occupies a high position in society. Well, if this detail hangs like a piece of meat? For a specialist, this means that the owner of such a respiratory organ is a supersexual nature. The tip of the nose may be slightly pointed. Such a person should beware. Faces say that he has a treacherous and treacherous nature. But a sharp nose, like an eagle's beak, speaks of a vindictive personality. This type of people maniacally believes that all people get in their way.
The shape of the tip of the nose can be convex and havefairly large sizes. This speaks of a kind, warm and sincere person, ready for self-sacrifice.
A hanging nose covering part of the upper lip speaks of a person ready for betrayal. But this is only if the tip of this face detail is skinny and pointed.
The upturned nose, which, due to its position, even shows the openings of the nostrils, belongs to a person who, as a rule, is not able to keep secrets. In addition, it can be said about such an individual that he prefers we alth and does not think about what lies ahead for him, thoughtlessly spending his financial savings. An upturned nose speaks of a loving nature that does not count on a stable relationship. According to physiognomists, such a person will marry more than once if he considers it necessary to tie himself up with family ties.
Nostril Wings
These parts of the nose support and balance the tip to the right and left. If the wings of the nostrils are proportionate and devoid of defects, then they indicate a person who succeeds in life. And if they are flat or located too close to the back of the respiratory organ? Then physiognomists claim that their master is not able to make money or save what he has acquired.
Wings diverging at the tip of the nose indicate a strong person who can leave poverty and ascend to we alth. Such facial features are also a sign of sensitivity.
Female character
Physiognomists can also tell a lot when reading the faces of the weaker half of humanity. So, a high nose in women, which is notbalanced by low cheekbones, speaks of a period of need lasting up to thirty years.
Such a lady is able to compete with the strong half of humanity for a high position. The high nose of the girl indicates that its owner will marry very early. However, if this does not happen, then the creation of a family will have to be postponed for a period after thirty-five years. But at the same time, the marriage is unlikely to be happy.
