Our country has a long cultural history, of which palmistry culture can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. In such a farming era, people's ideas were backward and technology was underdeveloped. The first step for the ancients to look at a person was to look at their face first, followed by their palms and bones. For example: "If you have big ears, you will be blessed, and if you have slanted eyes, your heart will be poisonous." Common sayings like "holding great power" intuitively show the ancient people's principles for looking at people.

Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has advocated " heaven and man respond". They believe that people's longevity, misfortunes and blessings are all determined by heaven. The ancients used their eyes to observe a person's body shape, appearance, palms and palm lines, and drew their own experience summary. "Ma Yi Xiangfa" says: "Those with patterns on their hands are like the principles of wood. People with beautiful patterns on wood are mostly geniuses. Those with beautiful patterns on their hands are of noble quality." The ancients compared the palm prints in the hands to the texture of trees. If the trees have clear and fine lines, they are good trees. If the palm prints are clearly visible, then the person is wealthy. There is a popular saying among the people, " A true cut-off palm will attract wealth, but a false cut-off palm will lead to poverty and ruin." This sentence is not difficult to understand. It is about the impact of cut-off palm on a person's wealth. So what is the cut-off palm mentioned by the ancients? ? What is the difference between true and false?

The so-called broken palm, in palmistry, is the intersection of the wisdom line, the emotional line and the life line. It appears as a straight line across the palm, which is clearly visible. Such lines are the broken palm, also known as the true broken palm. False Severed Palm is where the emotional line and the wisdom line are combined into one. It seems to be one line, but in fact the two lines intersect. This is called False Severed Palm. There has always been a saying among the people that "a man with a broken hand can weigh a lot, and a woman with a broken hand can live in a house." What it means is that if a man has a broken hand, he will be very capable of creating wealth, while a woman with a broken hand is a manifestation of hard life and will affect those around her. People's fortune.

The ancients called the emotional line, life line , and wisdom line of the palm as the sky pattern, the earth pattern, and the human pattern, which are the so-called three talents. They believed that what can really be called Duanzhang is the three lines in one, and the false The Broken Palm is just two of them combined into one and cannot be counted. However, the ancients also made distinctions when it came to the false severed palm. They believed that if the false severed palm is located in the position of the sky pattern, it has an impulsive personality, and if it is located in the human pattern, it has a calm personality.

As for what the ancients said: " Really cutting off the palm will bring wealth, but falsely cutting off the palm will lead to poverty and ruin." This is influenced by Chinese traditional culture . They believe that the cause and effect of everything is determined by "heaven" and everyone's destiny It is destined by God, so we can judge the direction of a person's destiny through his appearance, body shape, palms, etc. It is this concept of destiny that makes people say this.

This saying of the ancients can actually be traced to a certain extent. For example, a person who is very lucky will look good, and the skin on his hands will look healthy and shiny. The texture is clearly visible. On the contrary, if a person's hand lines look very complicated, then this person may also be a person with messy thoughts. The ancients believed that "taking people based on their physical appearance" is very consistent with natural phenomena, and this is also the basic principle of palmistry prediction.

From a modern perspective, this understanding of the ancients appears to be relatively one-sided. Although the proverb is the experience of the ancients and condenses their wisdom, this experience is only produced under a given historical background. , is not applicable now. With the improvement of people's living standards and cognition, the common sayings passed down by the ancients are not accepted by people.
