For upon |In face reading, your ears are representative of your health and fortunes from age 1 to age 14. Beginning at the top and descending to the lobe, your right ear covers ages eight to fourteen, while the left covers ages zero to seven.
In Chinese face reading, our ears relate to our kidneys. Ears come in various shapes and sizes, and they cannot be interpreted solely from the front. Ears are the only part of your face that continues to grow throughout life – and this is why many old people have extremely large ears. When using face reading take into account someone’s age.
Size
In China, large ears were considered a sign of vitality and longevity. The Chinese god of longevity, Shou Xing, is always depicted with extremely long ears. People with large ears are lively and energetic. They are prepared to take risks that would frighten those who have smaller ears. If your friend has big ears, then most likely that he or she is a good listener.

People with small ears are cautious, thoughtful, introverted, and quietly ambitious. Average ears indicate normal behavior and reaction regarding risks and fear, while those who have ears that are noticeably different in size may have many challenges or ups and downs in their life.
Shapes and Position
Rounded ears mean outgoing, reliable, positive, sociable, and imaginative, whereas ears that are squarish on the sides, tops, and lobes mean that the person will be shrewd, quick-thinking, insightful, and able to do several things at the same time.
If the top of the ears is pointed (like Vulcan ears) then the person is believed to be a very secretive, mysterious, and good talker. Usually, it takes a long time for you to get to know these people very well.
Ears that stick out means the person is independent and doesn’t like being told what to do. People with this type of ear are stubborn and do not like to accept too much advice from others. However, these people also tend to attract money.
People with high set ears (ears that are situated higher than the nose tip and the ends of the eyebrows) can receive information faster than others whereas those with low set ears (situated lower than the ends of the eyebrows and the nose tip) have a lower rate of receiving information.

Long ears (if the earlobe extends lower than the nose tip while the tip of the ear rises above the eyebrow) can be taken as a mark of genius.
Ears are usually slightly tilted (the top of the ear situated farther back than its bottom part), but if the angle of the tilt is extreme then the owner will be very rigid and tend to control others.

Earlobes are the lower fleshy portion of the ears.

Ears in Physiognomy
Known as ”采听官” (cǎitīng guān, organ of hearing), ears represent the luck in early youth before the age of 14. Also, the earlobes have a certain influence on a fortune after the age of 60. While reading the ears, the size, color, shape, hardness, and height shall be taken into consideration first, followed by each part.
The ear consists of six parts:
Heaven Helix (Tian Lun, 天轮), Man Helix (Ren Lun, 人轮) and Earth Helix (Di Lun, 地轮) indicate age period and corresponding luck;
Antihelix represents the love of parents and complexion.
Earhole represents one’s tolerance;
Tragus represents a sense of responsibility.
Size
The big ears are auspicious while the small is inauspicious. The size of the ears is not absolute but relative in comparison with the face. If the ear takes a large proportion, it is big. The standard is as follows: the Heaven Helix is on the same horizontal line with the eyebrow while the Earth Helix is on the same horizontal line with the nose tip. If the ear is higher than the eyebrow and lower than the nose tip, it is big and vice versa.
The big ears belong to vigorous and active people; the small ears indicate poor health and quiet personality in early youth.
Color
White ears are the best, followed by pink, red, greyish white, and black respectively (black ears are worst for people belonging to water in five elements).
White ears: good memory, sound kidney, excellent thinking and analysis ability; good luck throughout life, noble quality, and high status.
Pink ears: good memory, diligence, hands-on attitude, and great achievements.
Red ears: not so good, do more but get less, work fruitlessly despite diligence, limited achievements, and live a hard life.
Greyish ears: plain luck, weak body, deficient kidney Qi, laziness, no energy to win the chance, few accomplishments in life.
Black ears: the worst color represents weak kidneys, poor health, chaotic thought, indecision, and toiling all day.

Hardness
The hard ear is better than the soft as it indicates sufficient kidney Qi, good physical strength, good memory, and pioneering spirit; the soft ear represents the deficient kidney Qi, poor physical strength and memory, no ambition, and lazy attitude.
Shape
A strongly defined ear is the most important thing. The earhole shall not be too small while the tragus shall be neither too large nor too small.
Height
The eyebrow is the standard to decide the height of the ear and the ear above the eyebrow is high, vice versa. If the highest point of the ear is on the same horizontal line as the lowest point of the eyebrow, it will be the standard. It will be fine to be slightly higher, lower, or standard as long as the ear is overly high or low. The ear higher than the eyebrow represents the profound thought and idealistic mind while the lower is more realistic. If the ear is overly high, it suggests the person is too idealistic to adapt to society; if the ear is overly low, it indicates the person pays much more attention to creature comfort and is of bad character generally.
Position
Face in the referent when it comes to the position of ears. The ear closer to the face is regarded forward, and vice versa. The backward and normal position of the ear are both fine but the forward is unfavorable as it suggests poor health.

Helix is the bending cartilage at the most outer side of the ear, which represents the luck in early youth. It consists of Heaven Helix, Man Helix, and Earth Helix which indicate luck in different periods.

If abnormal raised or sunken part is found at the helix, it indicates the poor health in the period; if it is obvious and serious, it suggests the big event of family, probably parting forever with brother or sister, including the miscarriage of mother.
Antihelix
Antihelix is a circle of erotica closest to the helix. In face reading, there are two sayings, namely Lun Fei (轮飞) and Kuo Fan (廓反).
Lun Fei (轮飞) refers to the pointed helix which is a bad sign of harming parents, no luck for parents, strong sense of privacy, high alertness, and insidious impression. This kind of character is cultivated from the indifferent relationship with parents and the self-reliance in childhood.
Kuo Fan (廓反) refers that the carve-out antihelix (antihelix is more protuberant than the helix). This kind of person gets limited love from a parent, loves to excel others, and never admit defeat. In ancient physiognomy books, Kuo Fan (廓反) is regarded as a sign of rebellion. Actually, this kind of person is just highly rebellious, stubborn, and unwilling to admit their mistakes.
Earhole
Earhole shall be in moderate size. A big earhole represents the tolerance and opening attitude to others’ opinions. The small earholes belong to the intolerant and stubborn people blind to others’ opinions.
Tragus
The tragus is the sarcosome in the front of the ear. The small tragus indicates no sense of responsibility while the overly large suggests the sense of responsibility is too strong and the person may act subjectively and refuse to listen to your opinions if he/she believes the way is right. Such kind of employee is troublesome for a boss.
Earlobe
Earlobe (ear pearls or Lobule) represents luck after the age of 60. The big and forward earlobe pointing to the jaw is the best. This kind of person tends to have quite good luck after the age of 60.
The earlobe grows with the age. A person without earlobes after the age of 60 will spend the poor later years. In addition, it doesn’t work to stretch the earlobes by wearing the earrings. The good earlobes are thick and raised both front and back. If only one side is raised, the earlobe will be considered as the fake one. What’s more, the earlobe even has a more dominating influence on one’s later years than the jaw. If the jaw is not well-defined while the earlobes are good, one can still enjoy the comfortable later years because the earlobe dominates the inner while the face dominates the outer.
