Ears (Cai Ting Guan)

What is Ears (Cai Ting Guan)?

In physiognomy the ears are called the Cai Ting Guan (採聽官) and are read for inborn fortune (福) and the grain of one's early (childhood) years. Ears that are firm, with a clear outline and a thick lobe, are read as a sign of good fortune and health and a deep resolve. Ears paler and clearer in color than the face are seen to indicate one will win a name, and ears set higher than the brows a bright mind. The ears are read, like a Four Pillars chart, as the grain of what is 'inborn.'
