墨痣,在醫學上只是皮膚色素,但在華人文化中,它不僅是外貌特徵,更承載著命運、性格與吉凶的象徵意義。從古代相書到現代命理師的解讀,墨痣的位置、形狀、顏色與生長時間都可能影響一個人。
在中國面相學中,有句話叫「面無善墨」,意指臉上的墨痣多為不吉之象:
印堂(眉心)有痣:可能代表驕傲自負,運勢起伏大
眉中有痣:六親緣薄,易遭家人或損友拖累
眼角(奸門)有痣:命帶爛桃花,感情波折多
鼻翼有痣:象徵財庫破損,理財能力弱
在現代社會,墨痣常被視為美容瑕疵,尤其是位於眼瞼、鼻翼、嘴角等顯眼部位。但這與傳統文化的「痣有命」觀念形成衝突:
有人因命理建議而保留痣
也有人因外貌或職業需求而選擇脫墨
部分人甚至在脫墨前會請命理師「看痣」,以免破壞運勢
這種文化與醫美的交錯,反映出香港社會對命運與外貌的雙重重視。
墨痣的存在,既是身體的一部分,也是文化與信仰的投射。在考慮脫墨前,不妨思考:你是為了美觀、健康,還是命運?無論選擇如何,理解痣背後的文化意義,都是對自己的一種尊重與探索。
Medically speaking, moles are simply skin pigmentation. But in Chinese culture, they carry far more than just physical appearance—they symbolize fate, personality traits, and omens of fortune or misfortune. From ancient physiognomy texts to modern metaphysical interpretations, a mole’s location, shape, color, and time of emergence are believed to influence a person’s life.
In Chinese physiognomy, there’s a saying: “No good mole on the face,” implying that facial moles are often seen as inauspicious signs:
Mole on the glabella (between the eyebrows): May indicate pride and arrogance, with a life of ups and downs.
Mole within the eyebrows: Suggests weak family ties and vulnerability to being dragged down by relatives or bad company.
Mole at the outer corner of the eye (known as the “lust gate”): Associated with turbulent romantic relationships and emotional instability.
Mole on the nostril: Symbolizes financial loss and poor money management skills.
In contemporary society, moles—especially those on the eyelids, nostrils, or corners of the mouth—are often viewed as cosmetic flaws. This clashes with traditional beliefs that “moles carry destiny”:
Some people choose to keep their moles based on metaphysical advice.
Others opt for removal due to aesthetic or professional reasons.
Some even consult fortune tellers before mole removal to avoid disrupting their fate.
This intersection of culture and medical aesthetics reflects Hong Kong’s dual emphasis on both destiny and appearance.
Moles are not just part of the body—they’re also projections of culture and belief. Before deciding on mole removal, consider: Is your motivation beauty, health, or destiny? Whatever your choice, understanding the cultural significance behind moles is a meaningful act of self-respect and personal exploration.
