What are the famous physiognomists and books in the history of China?

Xiangxue has a long history in China. The earliest date can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period in the 7th century BC.

"Zuo A D" contains: During a funeral, Gong Sun 'ao heard that Uncle Nai, who was sent by Zhou to attend the funeral, was coming to visit relatives, so he asked his two sons to meet each other. Fu Shu said to Sun Ao, "Gu can sacrifice and support you, but it is difficult to bury you." The valley is full of jaws, and his son Sun Bixing is in Lu. Historical books such as Historical Records and Wu Yue Chun Qiu also recorded the activities of early physiognomists such as Gu Buziqing and Wu. It was not until the Warring States period that fortune tellers became popular. "Sacrifice to Confucius" contains: Wei Anyi asked whether it was appropriate to worship horseback. Junko replied, "Pigs with long eyes think people are deceptive. "After the horse was returned to the other party, he was finally convicted of flattery. At this time, although fortune-telling has become popular, it is mainly paid attention to as a means of participating in politics, and professional fortune tellers and strict fortune-telling theories have not yet appeared. In Han dynasty, physiognomy developed rapidly. Only the deeds of Liu Bang's family visiting fortune-teller are recorded in various details in Historical Records. Those who made a fortune in the Han Dynasty, such as prime ministers Zhou Yafu, Hou Changping, Wu, Huai Nan Bu, general Li Guang, and Ni Xian, an ancient scholar, all had life stories handed down from generation to generation. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even the choice of imperial concubines and women had to be read by a fortuneteller. With the widespread popularity of fortune-telling customs, the theoretical system of fortune-telling has been initially established. The History of Han Art and Literature contains 24 volumes of Ren Xiang. According to Records of Huaiqing Prefecture, only Xu Fu, a famous fortuneteller at that time, wrote various photo albums, such as Song of Virtue, Miscellaneous Notes of Five Palaces, Listening to Music, etc. After the Han Dynasty, visiting Li Tang became an important social occupation, with more than 30 kinds of picture books and 130 volumes. Since then, in the Song and Ming Dynasties, the trend of visiting fortune-teller has reached its peak. Many physiognomists have become dignitaries, many intellectuals and elites have studied the theory of physiognomy with great interest, and a large number of books on physiognomy have flooded bookstores. After the Ming dynasty, physiognomy gradually flowed to the people and became a means for Jianghu magicians to collect money and support their families. Since then, there have been few new developments in both physiognomy theory and physiognomy skills. There were many famous fortune tellers in ancient times, such as Gu Buziqing in the Spring and Autumn Period, Tang Ju in the late Warring States Period, Xu Fu in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang and Li in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhongwei in the Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty. Its social influence is not inferior to that of contemporary dignitaries and scholars. There are countless books on ancient physiognomy, but most of them are copied from each other. There are Ma Xiang, Liu Zhuang Xiang Fa, Shen Xiang Quan Bian, Shui Jing Ji and Li Xiang Heng Zhen which are self-contained and practical. Among them, Ma Xiang, a warlock in the Five Dynasties, is the most widely circulated, and Shen Xiangquan, a warlock in the Song Dynasty, is the most complete one.
