When looking at bones, joints should be like stones, steep but not horizontal, round but not thick. Thin people should not pity their bones (exposed bones are called boneless meat, which is very troublesome), and fat people should not be covered with fat (obese people should not grow too much fat, or they will die). Bone should be commensurate with meat, and qi and blood should be reconciled. Skinny and timid people will die even if they are not poor. No one is perfect, the poor generally live long, and the rich often die early, so "if you are not poor, you will die").

The bones on the left and right of the moon horn are called "Jincheng bones", and people with Jincheng bones have high official positions. Tang Yin has a bone that reaches the heaven, which is called "Tianzhu bone", and the heaven has a bone that reaches the top of the head, which is called "rhinoceros bone". People with Tianzhu bones and rhinoceros bones have high positions. The prominent bones on the face are called "cheekbones", which dominate strength. The part where the cheekbones connect with the ears is called "Jade Beam Bone", which determines the life span of people.

The bone from the upper arm to the elbow is called the "keel" and is the king of bones. The bones of the keel should be long and thick. The bones from elbow to wrist are called "tiger bones", which are courtiers in the bones. Tiger bones should be short and thin. Bones should be raised and stretched, round and solid, straight and jointed, dense but not thick. These are tough and dense bones. The part from cheekbone to sideburns is called Pony Bone, the bone above the left eye is called Lunjiao Bone, the bone above the right eye is called Lunjiao Bone, the bone above Qi 'er is called General Bone, the bone outside the two furrows is called Chen Ao Bone, and the bones on both sides of the forehead are called Dragon Horn Bone.

The poem says:

No bones, no meat, but also round and delicate.

Bone is yang, meat is yin, and there is not much yang, and yin is not attached.

Both yin and yang make you rich for life.

The poem says: when bones are old, they are not humble, but they are better rounded and delicate. Bone is yang and meat is yin. Yang is not strong, Yin is not attached. People with equal flesh and blood will be rich all their lives, even if they are underdeveloped when they are young.

People who see their bones rise are short-lived. People with exposed bones are not self-reliant. People with weak bones live long, but they are not happy. Those who have bones are fierce, those who despise them are poor, those who are vulgar are stupid, those who are thin are poor, those who have round bones are blessed, and those who have solitary bones have no relatives.

People with wooden bones are thin, blue and black in color and thick at both ends, and most of them are poor. People born with water bones have sharp bones and are extremely rich. People born with fire bones are thick at both ends, poor in virtue and poor in slavery. People who come from the soil and bones have big bones, thick skin, many children and much wealth. People born with golden bones have hard bones, but they live long and are sad. A man with a head and horns is rich in his later years.

The poem says:

Noble joints are slender, and there is no muscle or meat on the bones.

Your bones and your ministers have corresponding assistance, so don't worry about having no place to eat.

There should be no requirement whether you can have enough to eat and wear.

Dragons and tigers don't have to be trapped, which hurts the muscles and bones.

The main idea of the poem is: when reading bones, the joints of noble people are round and long, and there is no tendon on the bones, and the bones are fragrant. The ratio of monarch bone to minister bone is appropriate, and no official is light, and he has no worries about food and clothing. People with thick bones have problems with food and clothing, so don't expect to be an official. The keel and tiger bone are intertwined, and the bones are wrapped with tendons. Such people are humble and their fate is worrying.
