Court (Face Regions)

The three horizontal courts of the face in Chinese physiognomy, which are the upper court of the forehead, the middle court from brows to nose and the lower court of mouth and chin, each read for a stretch of life from youth to old age. An entry belongs here when its article presents the upper, middle or lower court. It excludes the face shapes, officers and palaces. The group page lists the parts of the face that belong to one reading scheme, so a reader can compare how Chinese physiognomy divides the face.
