Methodology

How Our Chinese Face Reading Works

1. The photo check and visible description

Your photo is sent to an AI vision model with strict instructions: count faces, check angle, light and coverage, mark approximate positions of the features, and describe each feature using a fixed list of appearance words (for example “straight”, “gently curved”, “rounded tip”). The model cannot write free text into your report — we build every sentence from those fixed words.

2. The cultural knowledge base

Every “Traditional context” and “Explore the meaning” text comes from our own knowledge base of 26 reviewed English entries (version cf-kb-2026.10-v1), not from the AI. Entries are paraphrased by us from contemporary English-language overviews of Chinese physiognomy. Classical manuals such as the Ma Yi Shen Xiang (麻衣神相) and the Shen Xiang Quan Bian (神相全编) are the traditional reference works of the field; we name them, but we do not quote them, and nothing on this site is presented as a translated classical line.
