Besides predicting a person's future, practitioners and advocates of Mianxiang believe that this practice can be used to determine a person's character.
Because of this, it was widely used in the past, from parents looking for brides for their sons to choosing suitable candidates for the throne.
In addition, cotton incense is also used as a diagnostic tool of traditional Chinese medicine.
Cotton fragrance is still used in China, and it has become popular in the West in the past few decades.
The word surface can be translated into the meaning of "face", and one meaning of the word surface is "appearance".
Therefore, face can be literally translated as "facial appearance".
This practice, also known as "China people look at faces", is said to have originated from the legendary Huangdi era (meaning "Huangdi").
Others claim that facial images were first practiced by magicians in the 6th century BC, and they are not entirely related to any particular religion.
However, some people think that rural Taoist wizards are the ancestors of Mianxiang.
Anyway, at the end of 3rd century BC, cotton incense was already an integral part of China's lifestyle, which was proved in some classic works at that time, such as Bamboo Slips with Golden Scissors and Illustration of Traditional Medicine in China: Face.

For example, a face can be divided into three parts.
The first one covers the area from the forehead to the eyebrows.
This is usually called "paradise" and is considered as a person's childhood and youth.
The next part, from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose, is called "person".
This part of the face is related to a person's adulthood.
Finally, the area between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the face is called soil, which is related to people's age.
Some people say that by reading these three characteristics, Mianxiang practitioners can learn a lot about their personal lives.
The face can be further divided into 13 sub-parts to evaluate a person's life in more detail.

For example, it is generally believed that the distance between two eyes is the width of one eye.
People think that people with bigger eyes are more inclined to relax and relax, while people with smaller eyes are more inclined to concentrate on what they are doing.
Mianxiang suggested that if you relax or concentrate, the distance between your eyes can be displayed.
Another example is the thickness of the lips.
It is said that people with thin lips are more likely to quarrel, while people with round lips are more likely to attract others with their own words.
Whether it is thick lips or thin lips, Mianxiang said that your lips have an important influence on your personality.
(CC0) Face shape will also be considered when evaluating individuals.
According to this practice, there are five faces, each of which represents one of the five elements, namely fire, water, earth, wood and gold.
In addition, each face type contains features related to its respective elements.
Therefore, for example, a round face is considered as an element of water, and people with this face shape are said to be generally adaptable and flexible.
Other characteristics associated with this face shape include generosity, optimism and cheerfulness. Besides predicting a person's future and evaluating a person's personality, cotton fragrance is also used to evaluate a person's health.
For example, Chinese medicine may diagnose certain diseases according to a person's eyes.
This is based on the concept that the eyes reflect an individual's qi (energy) level, and the facial map shows the position where internal health problems may appear on the face in the form of redness or swelling.
