In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is limited discussion on the tongue’s appearance in facial analysis, and it is not easy to describe. The tongue is considered the sprout of the heart. The heart opens to the tongue. In the yin-yang classification, the heart belongs to yin, while the tongue belongs to yang. Of course, one can also discern a person’s wealth, marital status, and health fortune from the appearance of their tongue. Today, let us learn the secrets of tongue diagnosis in understanding fate.
01. Sharp Tongue Appearance Individuals with a very sharp tongue are often neurotic and curious, possessing a truly eloquent tongue that can accurately describe the essence of things and express their thoughts incisively. In life, they are knowledgeable and can grasp their partner’s heart in love, making you feel love and warmth at all times.02. Thick Tongue Appearance A thick and solid tongue often indicates wealth. Those with a thicker tongue tend to be loyal and steadfast in their actions. In daily life, they adhere to their principles and are loyal to their responsibilities, which often leads to success due to this virtue.03. Very Long Tongue Appearance If the tongue is thick and can reach the tip of the nose, it signifies that the person will achieve great things in life. A long tongue represents honesty and wisdom, indicating that such individuals will excel in their endeavors. A thick and long tongue, even if not extremely wealthy, will still bring blessings and longevity. If the tongue is thick, long, and square, this person will enjoy great wealth and prosperity, indicating a favorable appearance.04. Very Thin Tongue Appearance Those with a thin tongue are eloquent and strategic, often wise and mature. A long and thin tongue indicates a talent for debate and quick-wittedness, making them adept at planning and strategizing. Such individuals are often suited for leadership roles due to their foresight and intelligence. However, if the tongue is thin and small, it may indicate a cunning personality and a likelihood of poverty; for women, a thin and short tongue may suggest a less favorable character and a life of hardship, which should be improved.05. Large Tongue Appearance A large tongue, often referred to as a “flowery tongue,” indicates someone who is very persuasive but may not follow through on their promises. A large and long tongue can signify wealth, but such individuals may also be cunning and self-serving. If the tongue is large but the mouth is small, it suggests that the person struggles to communicate effectively. A large but thin tongue may lead to wasted efforts and unsuccessful endeavors. If the tongue is oval-shaped, this person is reasonable, trustworthy, and straightforward in friendships.06. Small Tongue Appearance A small tongue indicates cleverness and decisiveness, but may also lead to inconsistency in actions. A small and long tongue suggests intelligence and adaptability, but such individuals may also be scheming. Generally, they may face financial difficulties throughout their lives. If the tongue is flat, they may need to work harder to earn a living; if the tongue is small and pointed, it indicates greed; if the tongue is small but the mouth is large, this person is straightforward and candid; if the tongue is small and the nose is large, they may be busy and struggle to save money, though they may live long but have few descendants.07. Long Tongue Appearance A long tongue indicates a love for debate and a thick lip signifies fortune. If the tongue is sharp and long, it suggests a person who enjoys arguing and may have ulterior motives. A tongue that can reach the nose indicates potential wealth. However, if the person is thin and ordinary-looking, they may not achieve great wealth; if they have facial or eye defects, a long tongue may not guarantee prosperity, but a long tongue with thick lips may bring good fortune in later years.08. Short Tongue Appearance A short and thick tongue generally indicates a foolish and reckless personality. If the tongue is small and short, it suggests a person who is not only foolish but may also face lifelong poverty. A short and thin tongue indicates a tendency to gossip about others; if the tongue is short and square, it suggests a late bloomer who will see improvement in fortune in later years.09. Purple Tongue Appearance A red tongue indicates wealth, while a black tongue suggests poverty. A dark purple tongue indicates greed and poverty; a bright and moist tongue signifies enjoyment of a high standard of living and the ability to persist in work, leading to both fame and fortune. If there are black spots on the tongue, one should be cautious about their health; a tongue as red as vermilion indicates a wealthy life, while a black tongue suggests a life of hard work with little financial gain.10. Speckled Tongue Appearance A tongue with a river pattern indicates wealth, while a cross pattern suggests smooth sailing. A tongue with a river pattern that is clear, deep, and long indicates great wealth; a tongue with a cross pattern suggests success in endeavors. A tongue with straight lines indicates a straightforward personality; if the tongue has deep horizontal lines, it may indicate ups and downs in fortune; a tongue with many patterns suggests a wise and sociable person.11. Habitual Lip Licking Some individuals have a habit of licking their lips while speaking, indicating a lack of confidence in their actions and self-doubt. They may feel reserved in front of superiors and often struggle in romantic situations, unable to respond appropriately to external changes. Men with this trait may be overly accommodating, while women may exhibit a more submissive demeanor.
