The 12 Palaces of Face Reading
In traditional Chinese physiognomy (面相), the face is divided into 12 Life Zones (十二宮), each governing a different aspect of destiny — from wealth and career to relationships and health. This knowledge is drawn from the original text of 神相全編 (Complete Physiognomy), preserved in the 欽定古今圖書集成 (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries).
