Lateral and frontal perspectives of a human face in profile and full-face in a
context of physiognomy correspond with trigrams and hexagrams of the canon
i-jing that forms axes of coordinates or datum lines for three spheres of human
personality, that is told on the previous page. But also facial features within
each physiognomic sphere have geometrical measurements which can be considered
as coordinates of psychological parameters in faces of people.
In particular geometrical measurements of nose shapes are parameters of
psychological traits of individuality, as noses symbolize individualities of
people in physiognomy, that is shown on the chart.
Top row of symbolical pictures of a human face corresponds to geometry of nose
shapes in profile, and bottom row corresponds to geometrical outlines in
full-face, namely the shown physiognomic pictures or symbolical figures
correspond to horizontal coordinates of facial measurements.
Top row specifies variants of nose shapes in lateral facial perspectives, that
corresponds to kinetic psychological parameters of individuality, and bottom row
specifies variants of nose shapes in frontal face-to-face perspectives, that
corresponds to potential psychological features.
Variants of nose shapes correspond to eight trigrams Ba Gua of the canon i-jing.
Top positions of lines specify outlines of nose bridge tops.
Middle positions specify outlines of nose bridge middles.
Bottom positions specify outlines of nose-tips and nostrils.
If lines in symbols of i-jing are entire then corresponding facial features are
expressed in profile and wide in full-faces, and if lines are break then
features of a face are not expressed in profile and narrow in full-faces.
For example, to the sixth trigram Ba Gua there correspond physiognomic pictures
having following geometrical parameters.
Middle of nose bridge is expressed in profile according to lateral facial
perspective, and is wide in full-face according to face-to-face frontal
perspective, as the middle line in sixth trigram is entire.
Top of nose bridge and nose-tip are not expressed in profile, and also top of
nose bridge and nostrils are narrow in full-faces, as top and bottom lines in
the sixth trigram of i-jing are break.
According to the shown physiognomic pictures or otherwise to tell symbolical
figures it is possible to identify formal sizes of a nose in faces of people,
and it is possible to speak about ratio of potential and kinetic features of
characters.
For example, nose in the human face in view of physiognomy has sizes which are
possible for compare to the sixth Ba Gua according to horizontal axis of
measurements in full-face, and to the seventh Ba Gua according to horizontal
axis of facial measurements in profile, that is possible to designate F6
L7
by means of letters and symbols of i-jing.
Ratio of psychological features in this case are the following.
Top of nose bridge - conservative individuality.
Insignificant potential features cannot be realized by significant kinetic
aspiration to individualization and self-identification, as on top positions in
the sixth Ba Gua there is break line, and in the seventh Ba Gua there is entire
line, that corresponds to the nose bridge top which is narrow in full-face and
expressed in profile.
Middle of nose bridge - arbitrary individuality.
Significant potential features cannot be realized by weak kinetic opportunities
of individualization, as entire line in the sixth trigram and break line in the
seventh trigram are on middle positions, that corresponds to the middle of nose
bridge which has wide sizes in full-face and is not expressed in profile.
Nose-tip and nostrils - radical individuality.
Insignificant potential tendencies of self-identification do not contradict
insignificant kinetic forces or otherwise to tell progressions of individuality,
as on bottom positions in the sixth and seventh trigrams of i-jing there are
break lines, that corresponds to narrow nostrils in full-face and not expressed
nose-tip in profile.
The information about psychological meanings of
three types of individuality in a context of
physiognomy look on pages of this website in section with the name:
half-faces (concepts).
Also it is possible to consider shapes and sizes of a nose according to vertical
axis of facial measurements, that is shown on the following chart.
-
If lines in Ba Gua of the canon i-jing are entire the corresponding facial
features have long vertical sizes, and if lines are break then features of a
face have short vertical sizes. For example, the third trigram corresponds to
the physiognomic picture where middle of nose bridge is short as the line on
middle position is break, but top of nose bridge and nose-tip are long as lines
on top and bottom positions are entire.
It is necessary to measure vertical sizes of nose bridge top visually concerning
eyes, namely it is necessary to consider size of a distance from eyes to
eyebrows.
It is necessary to measure vertical sizes of a nose-tip concerning nostrils,
namely nose-tips are long or short if are located above or below bottom edge of
nostrils.
Vertical sizes of nose bridge middle can be considered as big or small if nose
as a whole is long or short.
If shapes and sizes of a nose in features of a human face concerning vertical
axis of facial measurements are long then corresponding psychological traits of
individuality in view of physiognomy possess an existential actuality, and if
vertical measurements of a nose are short then existential actuality of
individuality is perceived as non-realized.
For example, the human face has formal sizes which correspond with the third and
fifth trigrams according to horizontal axes of facial measurements in half and
full-face, and also with the fourth trigram according to vertical axis, that is
possible to designate F3
L5
V4
by means of letters and symbols of the canon i-jing.
Ratio of psychological features in a context of physiognomy in this case are the
following.
Top of nose bridge - conservative individuality.
Significant potential features are realized by significant kinetic aspiration to
self-identification that corresponds to entire lines on top positions in 3rd and
5th trigrams, but self-identification is perceived as impracticable that
corresponds to the break line on top position in 4th trigram of i-jing. And also
it corresponds to top of nose bridge which is wide and expressed according to
horizontal sizes in half and full face, but is short according to vertical
measurements.
Middle of nose bridge - arbitrary individuality.
Insignificant potential features do not allow to realize significant kinetic
aspiration to realization of self-identification that corresponds to the break
line in 3rd and to the entire line in 5th trigrams on middle positions, and also
existential actuality is perceived as non-realized, and as a result kinetic
energy of individuality has no initial potential and cannot have actual results
that corresponds to the break line on middle position in 4th trigram of i-jing.
And also it corresponds to middle of nose bridge which is expressed according to
horizontal measurements in profile, but is narrow according to horizontal
measurements in full-face and short according to vertical facial axis.
Nose-tip and nostrils - radical individuality.
Significant potential tendencies cannot be realized by weak kinetic energy of
self-identification that corresponds to the entire line in 3rd and to the break
line in 5th trigrams on bottom positions, but such person possesses significant
existential actuality of individual parameters, and consequently non-realized
self-identification is not perceived as defect of psychological features that
corresponds to the entire line on bottom position in 4th trigram of the canon
i-jing. And also it corresponds to wide nostrils in full-face and not expressed
nose-tip in profile according to horizontal axes of measurements in a
combination to the long nose-tip according to vertical facial axis.
In a similar way it is necessary to compare sizes of a nose in half and full
face on horizontals to sizes concerning vertical axis of measurements, and then
it is possible to speak about ratio of potential and kinetic psychological
energies of individuality according to datum facial lines in a context of
physiognomy.
And also it is possible to analyze geometrical coordinates of a nose according
to vertical and horizontal measurements in half and full face not only in
physiognomy, but also in cosmetic medicine and rhinoplasty surgery before
plastic modeling of facial shapes which do not deform ratios and proportions of
psychological meanings in features of human faces.
The following page shows vertical and horizontal axes of coordinates for physiognomic shapes of forehead and eyebrows.
