What do finger whorls mean in palmistry?

Palmistry is a set of physiognomy that was summarized by our ancestors based on observations of people's hands. It can predict a person's destiny.
In palmistry, people observe not only the lines on the palms of both hands, but also the fingerprints which are now used for identity recognition.
Next, let’s go to the Bazi fortune-telling website to check out the legend about finger whorls!

There are also many nursery rhymes, folk songs, and proverbs about palmistry. There is a widely circulated saying, such as the one about palm lines: "A man with a broken palm is worth a thousand pounds, and a woman with a broken palm will be adopted into another family." This saying has been passed down by the elderly, meaning that a man with a broken palm has the ability to create wealth and is worth a thousand pounds. A woman with a broken palm has a hard fate and is very unlucky. This will hinder the fortunes of her relatives and she is more likely to get divorced.

Another example is the finger whorl: "One dou means poverty, two dou means wealth, three dou and four dou means opening a pawnshop, five dou and six dou means saving money, seven dou and eight dou means becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination, and nine dou and ten dou means not going to the fields." When it comes to finger whorls, there are many things to pay attention to.

Our ancestors said that human fingerprints are ever-changing, but can be standardized by two shapes. One is the whorl pattern, which is the pattern on the fingertip that forms a closed circle. Some people call it a spiral, and the Hakka people call it a "bucket". The other is called a streamline pattern, which is called a "boqi" if it cannot form a circle. It is long and has no regular rotation like running water and no center.

Fortune tellers say that fingerprint reading is the same as other palm readings. Men look at the left side and women look at the right side. A person's destiny can be seen through different combinations of whorls and streamlines.

"Value affection, be righteous and have high moral character, practice more and experience more to achieve moderation. Diligently seek the great way of heaven and earth, and achieve wealth and honor after success." This verse refers to the five fingers having streamlines; "A person is upright with firm beliefs, and remains unmoved by poverty and humbleness and remains unyielding in authority. If one does what is right, he will be respected and will not be invaded by evil, so he will practice hard to achieve wealth and honor." This refers to the five fingers having whorls.

“One dou means poor, two dou means rich, three dou and four dou means opening a pawnshop, five dou and six dou means knowing how to save money, seven dou and eight dou means being the top scholar in the imperial examination, nine dou and ten dou means not working in the fields.” This nursery rhyme describes the fate of people with one to ten whorls, and it is believed that the more whorls a person has, the more blessed he is.

There is also an old saying among the people, which is to combine the number of threads with marriage, personality, etc. For example, a person without threads (i.e., with ten dustpans) is straightforward, kind, and down-to-earth. In love, they dare to love and hate, and are in extremes; people with a whorl on their left hand are more determined, have good psychological quality, and are capable of doing great things, but sometimes they act on their own and are prone to setbacks.

In love, they are passionate as fire; those with a whorl on the right hand are independent, have leadership skills, are unscrupulous at times, and are ultimately destined to be successful and are the type of people who love others. People who have two threads on the same hand have a gentle temperament, good interpersonal relationships, sometimes lack foresight, but will have noble people to help them when they encounter difficulties. People with their minds divided into two hands are outgoing, very curious, and often tend to rush things.

The old people believe that the marriage between the ten buckets and the ten winnowing baskets is destined by God. They have to endure hardships for several lifetimes and cannot be together before they can exchange for fate in the next life. Even if they leave, they don’t have to drink Meng Po soup again, so they can remember each other for generations and never be separated.

Some people analyzed that people with ten buckets and ten dustpans have completely complementary personalities. One is strong and the other is gentle, one is active and the other is passive. They are attracted to each other and will be very happy together. Since both of these types of people have extreme personalities, they can easily fall into entanglement and pain when alone, but once they are combined with another extreme, according to physiognomy, they are a combination that can change the world.

In addition, it is said among the people that people with whorls on their fingers are very blessed. In contrast, having dustpan patterns on all ten fingers is relatively rare, and most people with this pattern are optimistic and kind-hearted. It is worth mentioning that people with a dustpan pattern have a service spirit, are easy to communicate with, and are willing to help others. In daily life, they are tolerant, observant, sensitive, easy to trust others, and are people who rarely doubt the motives of others.

Most young people today just laugh at all the above and don’t believe it. This is indeed the case. In the past, a psychologist conducted a very interesting nationwide survey and found that the opinions about threads were completely different in different places.

For example, in some areas, it is believed that people who do not have threads on their fingers are less likely to benefit from their parents and ancestors, are rarely born into wealthy families, may come from poor families in their childhood, or lack care, or leave home very early. Career is difficult in youth and it is not easy to get help from relatives. Your fortune in middle and old age will be much smoother, but you should pay attention to the health of your cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems.
