Chinese Face And Hand Reading

by Joanne O'Brien

Published 8 November 1995
This is an introduction to the popular Chinese tradition of hand and face reading. Known in China as physiognomy, it dates back thousands of years and is a step-by-step guide to understanding yourself through the lines, shapes and features of your hands and face. These clearly reveal details of your personality, family and romantic life, and career potential, as well as offering insights into your past, present and future good fortune.

A colourful look at the Chinese views on life after death and reincarnation. Drawing on Chinese folk classics, the book captures the language and imagery of traditional religions and fuses together the Confucianist, Taoist and Buddhist elements.
