Legend has it that people who own ten buckets or ten dustpans will have a happy life and be either rich or noble. For example, the famous Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian, Kangxi, etc. all had 10 buckets. The chosen one.

How many buckets and dustpans does your fingerprint have? Legend has it that anyone who owns ten buckets or ten dustpans will have a smooth and happy life, either rich or noble, such as the famous Qin Shihuang , Emperor Wu of Han , Tang Taizong , Wu Zetian and Kangxi. and so on, they are all the chosen ones with 10 buckets.

Therefore, people also like to use fingerprints to determine a person's fate. Folk saying: "One basket is poor, two baskets are rich, three baskets and four baskets sell tofu, five baskets and six baskets open a pawn shop, seven baskets and eight baskets are officials, nine baskets and ten baskets enjoy happiness." Our country is vast and rich in resources, and every place has it. Different text versions, such as Shiluo Quan Kao Zhuangyuan and so on. In short, the more baskets, the better. So, do the claims about buckets and dustpans have any scientific basis?

Scientists' research on fingerprints

Compared with the abstract basket patterns and dustpan patterns among the people, scientists have divided human fingerprints into ten categories. In September 1967, fingerprints were officially divided into bucket-shaped patterns, basket-shaped patterns and arc-shaped patterns. bucket-shaped patterns are basket-shaped patterns, and arc-shaped patterns are also called arcuate patterns.

Chinese scientists specializing in fingerprints published "Cell" in the international authoritative academic journal, specifically mentioning that after analyzing nearly 1 million human fingerprints and genetic loci, they concluded that human limb development occurs in the fingerprint pattern formation process. , plays a key role. In other words, there is a certain relationship between fingerprints and human limbs. It has become a new research direction to use fingerprints to verify whether the body has potential diseases.

fingerprints are generally formed in the 10th week of pregnancy. At this time, the fingertips of a human fetus will become round and spherical, like finger biscuits. The difference is that the fetal fingers are now extremely smooth. By the fourth month of pregnancy, the baby's skin will gradually begin to wrinkle, and fingerprints will begin to form on the fingers. Fingerprints are part of the skin. They will continue to change with the development of the human body. After birth, there is a 5% probability of being affected by the environment. By around the age of 14, fingerprints will be fully formed.

What determines the appearance of fingerprints is the mesenchymal cells that affect limb development, which is the human EV11 gene.

And little girls like to play palm reading, but they are really good at it. Everyone's fingerprints are unique, and there is only one in 15 billion chance of having the same fingerprint. Scientists also found that if a person's little finger is longer, the length of his palm will be correspondingly shorter and the more dustpan-shaped patterns will be; while the distal knuckle of the index finger, where the fingerprint is located, will be longer and dustpan-shaped. There will be more fingerprints. Researchers conducted the world's largest fingerprint genome correlation analysis, collecting more than 23,000 samples. After making a comparison, it was found that dustpans are more likely to appear in the fingerprints of Europeans. This is because the distal knuckles of Europeans' index fingers are relatively long. Among them, Americans are most likely to have curved lines.

In addition, the researchers also found that a total of 43 genes also play a role in the formation of fingerprints. In other words, the number of baskets and dustpans in fingerprints has certain regional characteristics. The number of bucket-shaped patterns in the fingerprints of yellow people is greater than that of other patterns.

In the 1960s, scientists also discovered that leukemia patients had more bucket-shaped fingerprints than other lines, while Down syndrome patients had mostly broken palms and arcuate patterns in their fingerprints. Perhaps this achievement can be used to assist fetal screening for Down syndrome and prediagnosis of other diseases in the future. Some congenital diseases may not need to wait until the child is born to be diagnosed. This will also play a positive role in prenatal and postnatal care.

Chief Scientist of the Human Phenotype Group Jin Li believes that the correlation between fingerprints and limbs is a branch of "human phenotyping". In addition, ears, noses, etc., may be related to other body organs. sex. This needs to be proven in subsequent scientific research.

Currently, Fudan University in Shanghai is conducting this complex research. It has received 30,000 phenotypic characteristics from more than 800 people, and has initially drawn the world's first human phenotypic navigation map.Among them, there are 1.5 million strong associations, and 39% of them are cross-domain strong associations. So far, scientists have included phenotypic characteristics of the human body other than fingerprints, such as single and double eyelids, skin color, and ear shape, etc., hoping to discover the expression of more genes on the human body's surface, and at the same time, Determine whether the human body is healthy or not. If the lesions of internal organs can be seen through the appearance of the human body, it will undoubtedly be good news for mankind. The cost of treatment and the degree of damage to the human body will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, fingerprints may not predict a person's fate, but they can express the health of the human body. In addition to indicating health, fingerprints play a very important role in today's society.

Some people evade social responsibility by not having fingerprints

Apu Sarker, who lives in Bangladesh , has a very special mark, he has no fingerprints. Not only him, but also the males in his family were born without fingerprints. This seemingly minor problem has added a lot of trouble to Apu's life. He cannot have a motorcycle driver's license because in their country, the certificate requires fingerprints to be produced. Every time he went out on a motorcycle, he had to prepare supporting documents. Even so, he still paid a lot of fines for this.

With the development of technology, mobile phones can be unlocked through fingerprints. In addition to passwords, door locks can also be opened and closed with fingerprints. As long as there are functions related to fingerprints, Apu cannot enjoy them. This is because they have dermatoglyphics . This disease cannot be treated because it is a genetic defect. And this helpless symptom is actually something that some people are very envious of?

There were once some extremely vicious people who chose plastic surgery to evade capture. In the United States in the 1930s, a famous criminal specializing in bank robberies appeared, John Dillinger. Michael, the director of the movie "Public Enemy ", regarded him as a folk hero and said that he was the best bank robber in American history. Because he used his intelligence to win in dealing with the police and the government, during the Great Depression, he was regarded as challenging the banks, speaking for the vast number of people who were suffering from the economic depression, and saving the people from dire straits. The green forest hero is a star criminal.

In fact, the gang headed by Dillinger robbed many banks in the United States and was a major cancer in social security. He did not rob the bank to rob the rich and give to the poor. It was just a manifestation of his boldness and contempt for the law. Dillinger was born in 1903 and grew up with his father. His father's neglect of discipline caused him to start living on the streets at a young age. Later, his father had no choice but to send him to join the army, hoping to change his bad behavior. But it was too late, and Dillinger could no longer take the right path.

Later, Dillinger met Ed Singleton. Ed took Dillinger on his first robbery in his life, which seemed to open a new door for Dillinger. Although this incident caused him to taste more than nine years of punishment, he did not hesitate at all after he was released from prison. He once again returned to his old business, targeting banks.

Dillinger's influence spread throughout the United States, and the police became more and more ruthless in their pursuit of him. After Dillinger was arrested, he was able to escape from prison with the help of his accomplices. This is a slap in the face of the American police, and the police will bite him even harder. In order to evade capture, Dillinger came up with a brilliant idea. He went to the black market to find a plastic surgeon to change his appearance. But not much has changed. But the doctor came up with a better way, which was to remove Dillinger's fingerprints through surgery. In this way, even if he is caught, if the fingerprints do not match, the police will have no choice but to let him go.

However, Dillinger eventually died in a police chase and shootout. There is no chance of using fingerprints to get away with it. However, during the identification process, the forensic doctor found that the papillae lines in the dermis of Dillinger's fingers could still be matched with the fingerprints Dillinger had left, thus proving that the deceased was Dillinger. of his previous criminal conduct.

In the history of our country, fingerprints have been valued

. Nowadays, there are many cases where fingerprints are used in criminal investigations to convict people. This tradition can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty of our country.Anyone who puts their thumbprint on the document indicates that they agree with all the contents of the document. By the time of and the Warring States Period, , there were already records of using fingerprints to help solve crimes. A batch of bamboo slips dating from the Warring States Period and the Qin State were unearthed in Yunmengsuihudi, Hubei Province in 1975, referred to as Yunmeng bamboo slips. There is a paragraph in it that records in detail the process of detecting the case of digging holes and breaking into houses. Not only does it contain specific data such as the location, size, and shape of the cave, but it also describes six traces of the criminal's hands and knees left on the cave wall. It is possible that the recorder was also amazed by the criminal's imagination and the rigorous logic of the investigators.

Song History also records a vivid little story. Northern Song Dynasty During the Renzong period, a gambler named Zhou Zheng in Jiangxi accidentally gambled away 15 acres of his mother's farmland. This was earned by his mother through frugality. If he asked for it openly and his mother refused to give him anything, she might even beat him severely. So Zhou Zheng found another document at home with his mother's handprint, but changed the text to a land deed for 15 acres of fertile land. Zhou Zheng was handed over to the creditor.

It is conceivable that this document will definitely not belong to Zhou’s mother. But the creditor will not give up, and the two can only go to court. The first two times, the county magistrate relied on fingerprints to determine that Zhou's mother should hand over the fields. The third time, a new county magistrate, Yuan Jiang, pointed out that the documents held by the creditor were false after careful investigation and evidence collection. The creditor was dissatisfied, and Yuan Jiang said that the year, month, and day of your document were written on top of the fingerprints, which proved that you first obtained Zhou's mother's fingerprints and then filled out the contract privately. In the face of real evidence, the creditor admitted that the fingerprints were fake. Yuan Jiang used fake fingerprints to determine that the fields should be returned to Zhou's mother.

The famous record of solving cases in ancient my country, " Clearing Wrongs", records many examples of Song Dynastywell-known case-solving experts Song Ci used fingerprints to solve cases. The history of using fingerprints to solve crimes in our country is many years earlier than in the West. The European Robert made it clear in his 1927 book "Fingerprint Identification" that Jia Gongyan of the Tang Dynasty was the first scholar in the world to propose that fingerprints can identify people. In the West, it was not until 1880 that a British doctor proposed that identification could be carried out through the fingerprints left by criminals.

So, fingerprints really hide a person’s life, do you believe it? How many girls do you have?
