Abstract This paper examines the cultural history of a special divinatory practice in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1912): the physiognomy of written characters (sinographs), in which the physical characteristics of written characters are used to ascertain information about the life of the one who writes them. For practitioners of character physiognomy, a written character can foreshadow a person’s fortune because of the cosmology of ubiquitous association, in which sinographs are seen as meaningful pictorial symbols that function as replicas of the material world as well as cosmic extensions of the human body. From the style and configuration of a written character, and even its locus in a particular time and place, specialists could imagine and reconstruct the gestures and bodily form of its writer. Because of this, written characters were conceptualized as replicas of the human body, and could in this way mirror their writer’s fortune.

Abstract Hairpins decorated with motifs related to Guanyin, the most popular bodhisattva in Chinese culture, emerged as a new type of head accessory during China’s Ming dynasty (1368–1644). These hairpins have been found in tombs as burial objects and in pagodas as religious offerings. Records of their use have been captured in novels, travel notes, confiscatory inventories, burial arrangements, and ancestral portraits. Guanyin hairpins were used flexibly between religious and everyday domains, being both women’s accessories and a popular deity. They allow for an exploration of how women’s agency dynamically defined the functions of Guanyin hairpins in terms of aesthetic taste, self-appreciation, and religious practices. This diversity of uses further reveals that women not only relied on Guanyin for religious comfort, as current scholarship has established, but also as an expression of taste and appreciation, as reflected in how Guanyin was linked to women’s life and identity in Ming China.
