The Chinese nation has a long history and a long history. Over the past thousand years, not only have many customary habits been passed down, but also left behind countless word-of-mouthed "speaks", "speciality", etc.
, especially the predictions about fate trends, good and bad luck, etc., related to personal future, etc., the ancients were even more keen on this.
Therefore, a large number of books on appearance and divination were left in this regard, and countless "proverbs" passed down from word to mouth.
For example, the old saying goes, "Women have short fingers, and they don't lack food and clothing." So which finger is the "short fingers" mentioned in the ancients? Is this statement reasonable?
Let’s talk about it today.
"Fingers"
"Ten fingers are long and of different sizes". Not only are the ten fingers of each person different, but the fingers between people are also different.
But the so-called "short finger" in the ancients did not refer to the specific finger, but to the "whole hand" that is relatively short and fat. Of course, short and fat whole hand is actually the so-called short and fat fingers.
When it comes to the shape of fingers, we know that generally speaking, people with "slim fingers" are generally thin in figure, while people with "slim" are mostly "slim" in figure. This characteristic is true for men and women.
Haven't you seen it? The description of Lin Daiyu in " Dream of Red Mansions " focuses on her "slim hands" characteristics. We all know Lin Daiyu, as the saying goes, "the action is weak and the willows support the wind", and "the disease is as thin as the West" is a typical representative.
On the contrary, people with "fat and short" fingers generally have a relatively solid and fleshy figure. If women have such hands, they will most likely have plump and honest figures, and there are even people with obesity and inconvenience. However, considering the economic conditions in ancient times, the former is obviously more.
Because even though the most friendly to "fat people" in all dynasties Tang Dynasty , there are few so-called "fat" people. Although the Tang people "refer fat as beauty", the so-called "fat" mostly refers to the beauty of a well-proportioned body, plump and healthy body, not as we imagine in a broad sense.
From the above we can roughly know that the shape of each person's "finger" is closely related to everyone's figure. So why did the ancients say that "women have short fingers and no shortage of food and clothing"?
The fate behind "fingers"
We all know one obvious thing, that is, rich families are generally "fat-headed and big-eared" and "solid figure", while people with ordinary living conditions or bad living conditions are usually "slim" and "thin".
For example, we often hear the elderly say that a certain girl is very "lucky", and will definitely "prosper your husband" or live a good life in the future, etc. Usually, the girl's figure is generally relatively "rounded", "thick" and so on.
Because you can have this figure, either your original family is usually in a good condition, or you are "eat" and "can eat" yourself, and people who usually can do it. When you come to your in-laws' house, you will be a good at doing housework, and you will naturally make your husband's family "prosperity".
This is the same in ancient times. It is rumored that the King of Chuang Li Zicheng captured Luoyang and captured " Fuwang " Zhu Changxun , and directly used this 300-pound prince to make "Fulu Tang", which could satisfy the "eating" of thousands of people.
can grow this figure. In the era of low productivity and insufficient material resources in the past, I had to be born in a wealthy and noble family. Ordinary people don’t even think about it.
The same is true for the same reason. The daughters of wealthy families usually live a life of "food is opened and clothes is stretched out" since childhood. They do not touch the spring water of their ten fingers, and they are pampered and have a good life. They are naturally plump in their bodies and have thick and fleshy fingers, which is the so-called "short fat".
On the contrary, women with poor families not only need to work hard all year round, but also have no food and no warm clothes. They have naturally thin figures and are difficult to have flesh on their fingers, so they naturally cannot grow the so-called "short fat hands".
So, for a long time, people have come to this conclusion based on actual observations in life, and this "proverb" has been passed down.
But does this so-called "proverb" make sense?
cannot be convincingly "focused"
First of all, everyone's fingers are determined by everyone's figure, and although everyone's figure is affected by factors outside life, it is not an absolute factor.
In life, we can often see some people, with solid figures and flesh, fat and short fingers, but their family conditions and living standards are hard to describe, and there are even some "stupid" people.
Similarly, there are also some women in wealthy families, and even rich and powerful families with thin bodies and slender fingers. Therefore, it is absolutely difficult to convince people to determine a person's future destiny based on this alone.
Let me tell you about a person’s life experience. We all know that Zeng Guofan is a person who is famous not only in the Qing Dynasty, but also in the entire history of China, he is also a "big figure" who can be ranked first.
We will not introduce this person’s academic achievements for the time being, but will only tell a “small thing” about him.
Someone may have seen Zeng Guofan's true face, because in his later years, foreign photography technology had been spread to China, so he was also lucky enough to leave one.
Anyone who has seen this portrait of this gentleman has this feeling, that is, it is full of "bandit", especially the murderous intent of " Triangle Eyes ", which makes people dare not look directly at it. It is not the image of a great scholar in the inherent tradition of "elegant" and "close" nature.
In fact, although Zeng Guofan loved "photographers" throughout his life, he probably was not satisfied with his own appearance.
rumored that when he was in his early 20s, he went to Changsha, Hunan to take the college entrance examination (we passed the exam and were the scholars we are familiar with). Because he had failed the exam six times in a row, he couldn't help but mutter to himself and ran to a street stall to count the divination.
As a result, after seeing his appearance, the fortune teller shook his head and said that he was in great pain and that he would either die in a bad life or die in a sword or a sword.
This frightened Zeng Guofan very much. He was depressed for several months and had nightmares.
But what makes fate mean is that he became a scholar back then, and then he passed the Juren in the autumn of the next year. Then, he even passed the Jinshi for a row, became a Hanlin, and became a disciple of the emperor. We all know what happened next to
. Zeng Guofan began to make his fortune from then on, and moved ten times in seven years. He jumped from a son in the countryside of Hunan to a senior official at the ministerial level. He almost wiped out Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement with his own strength, made unparalleled achievements, and was named a marquis and prime minister, which was recorded in history.
Therefore, the technique of fortune-telling has always been the lifestyle of sorcerers in the martial arts world.
A person’s destiny can be completely controlled by his own hands and can be changed completely by his own struggle. Never indulge in this and miss the great years of struggle.
