Original text

面部如命,气色如运。大命固宜整齐,小运亦当亨泰。是故光焰不发,珠玉与瓦砾同观;藻绘未扬,明光与布葛齐价。大者主一生祸福,小者亦三月吉凶。 人以气为主,于内为精神,于外为气色。有终身之气色,"少淡、长明、壮艳、老素"是也。有一年之气色,"春青、夏红、秋黄、冬白"是也。有一月之气色,"朔后森发,望后隐跃"是也。有一日之气色,"早青、昼满、晚停、暮静"是也。 科名中人,以黄为主,此正色也。黄云盖顶,必掇大魁;黄翅入鬓,进身不远;印堂黄色,富贵逼人;明堂素净,明年及第。他如眼角霞鲜,决利小考;印堂垂紫,动获小利,红晕中分,定产佳儿;两颧红润,骨肉发迹。由此推之,足见一斑矣。 色忌青,忌白。青常见于眼底,白常见于眉端。然亦不同:心事忧劳,青如凝墨;祸生不测,青如浮烟;酒色惫倦,白如卧羊;灾晦催人,白如傅粉。又有青而带紫,金形遇之而飞扬,白而有光,土庚相当亦富贵,又不在此论也。最不佳者:"太白夹日月,乌鸟集天庭,桃花散面颊,预尾守地阁。"有一于此,前程退落,祸患再三矣。
