Palmistry to see your fortune

Palmistry to see your fortune

When talking about hands, we have to briefly talk about the background of palmistry.

In traditional physiognomy, the records about palmistry account for less than one-tenth of the total content. The ancients gave very few general descriptions of palmistry, which were nothing more than the Eight Palaces and Eight Trigrams, the Five Elements and Colors, the Three Lines of Heaven, Earth and Man, and a large number of patterns representing good and bad luck. For example, in the hemp clothes, a palm shape will be drawn, and then a pattern will be drawn, which are called flower and willow pattern, three evil spirits pattern, mother-killing pattern and so on. Among them, fabricated theoretical works are not excluded. Probably because it was lost during the process of transmission, the content is disorganized, making it difficult for people today to start studying. In actual combat, one only needs to observe the color of the palm and the roughness of the skin and knuckles to judge good or bad luck.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Western culture spread eastward, and foreigners' research on palmistry began to flow into China. It was also at this time that physiognomy books began to include information on how to read the faces of foreigners, such as Russians, British, French, and the similarities and differences between people from different countries. For example, Yuan Shushan’s "The Origin of Chinese and Western Physiognomy" and "Gongdu Physiognomy". At the same time, the Japanese research on palm lines began to spread to China.

The differences between Chinese and Western studies of palmistry are clearly reflected in ancient books. Westerners pay attention to the lines and shape of their hands, while the ancients paid attention to the proportions of the hands and various parts of the body, such as hands longer than the knees, big faces and big hands, rough faces and soft hands, big bodies and big hands, big bodies and small hands, and so on.

All the palmistry books circulating on the market today can be used for study. The content is basically the same, from hand shape to hand lines to health. However, palmistry has a weakness, which is the accuracy of the annual fortune, that is, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact year represented by a certain line. However, it does not affect their judgment of fortune and personality health.

This is the origin of palmistry that we can generally come into contact with.

In the ancient people's descriptions of their hands, in addition to the various strange patterns that we cannot understand, there are also some that can be used directly. And it works every time.

For example, these two sentences: Women's hands are like ginger, men's hands are like cotton. (Sina Astrology Note: "Women's hands like firewood are precious" is a fallacy spread by crosstalk.)

In ancient agricultural society, women were in charge of the home and men were in charge of the outside world. Due to different divisions of labor, the interpretation of palm shapes was also different.

A woman at home takes care of the housework, unites the villagers, keeps everything in order, and is respected by her neighbors. This kind of woman, with hands as delicate as ginger, must have worked hard and put in a lot of effort to be so "valuable".

A man who is away from home, whether an official or a businessman, can do things easily without any effort and is respected by his relatives and friends. This kind of man has hands as soft as cotton and must make a living by his brain and be able to make strategies, which is why he is so "noble".

In modern society, men and women are treated equally, without any distinction between inside and outside, so they are generally treated the same.

Therefore, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, you can make the following judgment:

Hands like ginger mean that the hands are plump, neither soft nor limp, but moist, smart and strong. In terms of physiognomy, he is capable, but it is hard work and stressful.

Hands like cotton refer to fingers that are white and plump and palms that are thick and soft. According to physiognomy, he has good interpersonal relationships, but is lazy and dependent.

A few more, such as.

The hands are hard and busy, and the busy traveler rests. People with strong hands are suitable for physical exercise.

In Heizi's palm, there is endless food and clothing. People with black moles on the palms not only have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives, but also have good luck with their family.

Those who have high surroundings and a sunken center are rich. The palms should be thick and the palms should be concave. Such people are rich.

The flesh is thin around and flat in the middle, which means wealth is scattered. People with flat and thin palms cannot accumulate wealth.

Those who are slender and tall are kind and generous. People with fingers as slender as bamboo shoots are kind-hearted, like to give alms, and are easily compassionate.

Those who are short-sighted and thick-skinned are mean and like to take things. People with thick and short fingers and palms are reckless, bad-hearted, and like to ask for things.

The palm is red like spitting blood, which means it is precious. The red palm refers to the rosy or white palm, both of which represent good fortune at the moment.
