In this guide to the ancient Chinese art of face reading, oriental expert Yang reveals how the secrets of our personalities feature on our faces, and the ways in which our childhood, major life events and even the future can be read.

The human face can be an open book--and the Chinese art of "mian chiang" teaches you to read it. By looking at each feature, determine anyone's true nature and fortune, anticipate behavior, and fine-tune relationships. Begin with the shape of the face; five elements, with their different characteristics; and 10 basic patterns. Individually travel across the ears, eyes, brows, nose, cheekbones, mouth, lines, chin, hair, and forehead, guided by drawings and charts. Special sections on facial and body language deepen your knowledge.
