What is Eyebrows (Bao Shou Guan)?
In physiognomy the eyebrows are called the Bao Shou Guan (保壽官), the seat that reveals the expression of feeling and one's temperament. Thick, well-ordered brows are read as a sign of firm will and warm feeling and of smooth relations with others; sparse or disordered brows are read as a cue to look at the grain of emotional ups and downs and of one's exchanges. Brows longer and softer-flowing than the eyes are seen to indicate good fortune in siblings and companions, and a generous space between the brows a broad measure of heart. What is read is the grain and flow, not whether the brows are handsome or plain.
