Palmistry

[Palmistry]

The face of the hand.

Xiangxue believes that the hand "externally communicates with the limbs and internally connects with the five internal organs" is "related to the gains and losses of the whole body". Therefore, the pros and cons of palmistry can be used to determine the life, the noble and the inferior, and the virtuous and foolish.

There are many expositions about palmistry in ancient physiognomy classics. Most of them are classified according to the position of the hand. The numerology shown almost includes all the main items of the meaning of life and destiny.

In terms of hand shape, it is generally believed that the role of the hand is to "hold" and "choose". Therefore, the slender person is good for sex, and the thicker person is good for sex; the small body and the big hand are good for longevity, and the big body and the small hand are poor. Yao; those with thin and soft hands are noble, those with hard hands are inferior; those with hands like chicken feet are ignorant, those with trotters are stupid, and those with exposed muscles are hard; those with short left hands are less literate, and those with short right hands are inferior to martial arts. Refers to the slender and elder as clever, short and bald as stupid; thick and dense ones accumulate high, hard and sparse ones are ruined.

The palm of the hand is regarded as a microcosm of the entire universe in physiognomy. It is divided into three talents, eight trigrams, and five elements, and corresponds to celestial phenomena and personnel. The numerology theory is extremely detailed, and the palm print is the most important. From the back of the hand to the palm print, fingerprints have specific illustrations.

Southern Tang and Song Qiqiu's "Jade Guan Zhao Shen Ju" has 72 palm prints, and each box is accompanied by a poem and prose. After this picture came out, it was regarded as a code by the scholars of the past and spread widely.

The number of physiognomy.

This is an ancient world cultural phenomenon and custom. It first emerged in ancient India about five thousand years ago, and then spread to Persia, Egypt and other places. Palmistry was once popular in ancient Greece. In the Middle Ages, people also used palmistry to search for witches. If anyone found stains on their palms, they said that she had an oath with the devil. Later, palmistry experienced several ups and downs in the West, and achieved unprecedented development in the 1950s. At present, palmistry research is extremely fashionable in European and American countries.

Ancient Chinese palmistry is a self-contained system, and it was produced in the Spring and Autumn Period approximately at the same time as Xiangmian. At first it was the physiognomy limbs, followed by the palms, and then the physiognomy and patterns, which gradually developed into a very important classification method in physiognomy. The theory of numerology is complicated and detailed, almost including the main items of the meaning of life and destiny.

The ancient palmistry theory is generally combined with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, yin and yang, five elements, and eight hexagrams, which makes it have many functions such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases and prediction of fate.

The contents of palmistry in ancient physiognomy classics are extremely rich. The "Bones" by Wang Chong in the Han Dynasty began to have a preliminary discussion of opponents' appearance. Afterwards, Wang Fu's "Liexiang" was named Lao Junji in Taibai Yuebo Cave's "Yuebo Cave" and "Suihe Laihe" "Phase Classics", the opponent's phase has been studied in depth. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan's " Ziwei Doushu " and "Heluo Lishu ", "Ma Yi Xiangfa" by the Maid Taoist, "Liu Zhuang Xiangfa" by Yuan Gong in the Ming Dynasty, and "Xiang Liheng" by Chen Zhao in the Qing Dynasty In books such as "True", the research on the opponent's physiognomy has not been interrupted.

[Phase Palm Print]

Look at the texture on the palm of a person's hand to speculate that his fate is not to blame. The physiognomy believes that the palm pattern is as good as the wood pattern as a tree, and you can know the inside and the inside by looking at its appearance.

"The Book of Jin·Tao Kan Biography" contains: Kan was born in a poor family, and when he was a good person, Shi Guixiang his palm prints, saying: "Jun's left middle finger is vertical (the jade column pattern extends to the middle finger), and he is considered a male." Official to the governor of the two states, supervised the military of the eight states.

"Sun Gong Tanpu" also contains: Lan Daqing knows Jizhou, thinks he is old, and wants to resign from office. Suddenly there is a hand pattern one day, saying: "Daqing is an official, why should he be idle?" Lan Jing said: "Although I did not speak intentionally, how can I know it?"

There are many palm prints in the photo book, and the numerology is complicated, and the opinions of each family are quite inconsistent.

The main point can be seen from the "on palmprint" in "Shen Xiang Quan Bian". He said: "The palms with lines are the top appearance, and those without lines are the bottom. The fine and deep lines are good for good, and the thick and shallow ones are inferior. The three palms with three lines on the palms should be painted on the sky, and the high and low; the Chinese painting should be for people. , To distinguish the rich and the poor; draw down to the ground, distinguish the life and the young. The three lines are shining and clean without broken lines, the appearance of the good and the luck. The one who has many managements is chaotic and the nature is stupid and the one who has many horizontal managements is stupid and humble. , The straight through the upper finger will succeed in every possible way, the chaotic reason spreads out the finger joints, everything is broken. The pattern is as thin as the messy silk is smart and beautiful, the pattern is thick as the oak wood is stupid and poor. The pattern is like a file for life. Those who are in distress and have a pattern like chaff will have a happy life."

Southern Tang and Song Qiqiu's "Jade Guan Zhao Shen Ju" lists 72 kinds of palm prints, each with an icon, and a poem and prose to explain the rationale. The book has been widely used by various scholars since its publication. .

[San Cai Wen]

Ancient physiognomy is another name for the three large textures in the palm of the hand. Corresponding to the relationship between heaven, earth, and man, they are called sky pattern, earth pattern, and human pattern. The sky pattern is the so-called line of emotion in modern physiognomy ; the human pattern is the line of wisdom; the ground pattern is the lifeline.

Regarding the main meaning of numerology represented by the three textures, the "Three Talents" of "Shenxiang Quanbian" says: The "Three Talents Pattern" is the three major patterns in the palm, and everyone has them. Very hard. From top to bottom, the first pattern resides in the fire, which is the sky pattern, and the main foundation; the second pattern resides in the soil, and is the ground pattern, which governs wealth; the third pattern is the Mingtang, which is the human pattern, and the main merit. "

"Mayi Xiangfa·On Palm Patterns" says: The three patterns on the "palm" are expensive, and the painting should be the sky, like the king and the father, and determine whether it is noble or inferior. Chinese paintings are for people, and like the virtuous and the fool to distinguish the rich and the poor. The next picture should be to the ground, like the minister and mother, and the master of his life. The three lines are pure and clear, and those with no broken lines will have the appearance of happiness; those with many vertical managements will be scattered and disasters; those with straight management will be scattered; those with fine lines will be wise and stubborn; those with coarse lines will be stupid and stubborn. Those with chaotic patterns like files are poor in life, and those with patterns like chaff are happy in their lives; those with money patterns mainly make money, and those with patterns on the end and those with patterns on the roof are civil servants. "

There is also a poem in "Jade Guan Zhao Shen Ju": "Three talents are clearly marked on the tattoo, and the fortune of a lifetime can be prosperous. The life and the rich are angry, and the tattoo will be ruthless."

[Refer to the phase]

The image of the finger. In physiognomy, there is a saying that "five fingers are dragons and palms are tigers", which means that the digits occupies an extremely important position in the whole palmistry.

Five fingers represent different numerology meanings in ancient physiognomy.

The thumb controls the destiny of the parents, the first joint is Kun, representing the mother, and the second joint is the stem, representing the father; the index finger is the master of the fate of siblings and their own youth; the middle finger represents their own destiny, and at the same time the destiny of the middle age; the ring finger is the master The fate of his wife and his own old age; the fate of the little finger master's children and his own old age.

Ancient physiognomy mainly judged the pros and cons of the physiognomy from the condition of finger shape and claw nail.

The finger shape is generally full and correct with five fingers, clear and straight, bright and shiny, with sparse joints, no bald fingertips, no finger joints, long fingers and short palms, and index fingers longer than ring fingers are noble; fingers are crooked and cut small and short. Concave injuries, swollen joints, bald and hard fingers, sparse finger joints, short fingers and long palms, and index finger shorter than ring finger is a shame. The claw nails are slender and long, strong and thick, yellow and bright in color; bald and thick, missing and falling, and black and thin in color are bad.

In addition, the Yangtze River Basin is widely circulated among the people about the use of fingerprints to talk about life. Although they differ, there are many believers. Generally, fingerprints are divided into two categories: skip type and screw type. Roughly ten snails are the best, second, five snails, and seven snails are second, four snails are flat, one and six snails are again, and nine snails are big.
