" Women's hands are like ginger, men's hands are like cotton"

When it comes to hands, I have to outline the background of palmistry.

In traditional physiognomy, the content of palmistry records is less than one-tenth of the total. The ancients have very few outlines of the face, nothing more than the Eight Palaces and Eight Diagrams, the colors of the five elements, the three patterns of heaven, earth and people, and a large number of patterns representing good and bad. For example, in sackcloth, a palm shape is drawn, followed by a pattern. The name is Hualiu pattern, Sansha pattern, Kemu pattern and so on. Among them, it does not rule out theoretical works that are fabricated. Probably the reason for the dispersal in the circulation, the content is chaotic and disorderly, so that people can't start and study it. In actual combat, only observe the color of the palm and the roughness of the knuckles of the skin to see good and bad.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the west wind moved eastward, and the study of foreigner's hand pattern began to flow into China. It was also at this time that how to look at the faces of foreigners began to appear in photo books , such as Russia, Britain, France, and the commonalities and differences among people from all over the world. For example, Yuan Shushan's "Chinese and Western Xiangren Exploring the Origin" and "Gongdu Xiangfa". At the same time, the Japanese research on hand patterns began to spread to China.

The differences between Chinese and Western counterparts studies are clearly reflected in ancient books. Westerners value the hand-printed hand shape, while the ancients value the ratio of hands to body parts, such as hands that are longer than the knees, big faces and big hands, thick faces and soft hands, big hands, big hands, small hands, and so on.

Nowadays, palmistry books circulating on the market can be used for research. The content is basically the same from hand shape to handprint to health. However, palmistry has a weakness, that is, the accuracy of the fleeting years, that is, it cannot be specific to the specific year represented by a certain stripe. But it does not affect his judgment on the health of Luck's personality.

This is roughly the origin of palmistry that we can touch.

The descriptions of the ancient opponents, in addition to the various strange patterns that we can't understand, there are some that can be used directly. And it has been tried and tested.

For example, these two sentences: Women's hands are like ginger, and men's hands are like cotton.

In ancient farming society, the division of labor was different, and the interpretation of palm shape was also different.

Women are at home, take care of housework, unite with the township party, and are well organized and respected by their neighbors. Such women, with hands like ginger, must be hard-working and laborious to have such a "expensive".

Men outside, or officials or businessmen, are open and closed, do not work their muscles, and are respected by relatives and friends. This type of man, with his hands like cotton, must rely on brain power to eat and plan tactics to be so "expensive."

In modern society, men and women talk about the same thing, and there is no difference between inside and outside, so they can be summarized in the same way.

Therefore, both men and women are as follows:

The hands are like ginger, which means the hands are dry and thin, and the hands are dry and yellow. In terms of phase method, the ability is strong, but it is hard to handle and laborious.

The hands are like cotton, which means the fingers are white and fat, and the palms are thick and soft. In terms of physiognomy, the popularity is good, but lazy and dependent.

More, such as.

The slender people are kind and kind. People with long fingers like bamboo shoots have a charitable character, like alms, and are easy to feel compassionate.

Those who are short and thick are better off. People with stubby fingers and palms, with a reckless personality and a bad temperament, like to ask for it.

Palm red is as expensive as blood. This palm red refers to the redness and whiteness of the palm, both of which represent the good fortune of the moment.

Yellow palms are like dust, poor. This yellow palm also refers to the palm of the hand. If it is yellow and rough, it means that the current fortune is poor.

A man with soft hands and fat hands, making money. People with soft hands and fat hands are good at mental work.

Hard-handed, rushing guest. People with hard hands and dry hands are suitable for physical exercise.

In the palm of Heizi, he is infinite. People with moles on their palms not only have a life-saving lifestyle, but also have good family luck.

Those who are high and low on all sides are rich. The palms should be thick, and the palms should be concave. Such people are rich.

The flesh is thin all around and the middle is flat, and the money is scattered. People with thin palms do not gather wealth.

People have thin palms, thick palms, big palms, and small palms. The palm shape should match the body shape, thin people are not afraid of palm leakage, and fat people are most afraid of thin palms.

People have clear palms, thick palms, large faces and soft palms. A person with a clean face is most afraid of rough palms. Rude-faced people are most fond of delicate palms. People with big faces are best for big hands.

All of the above are practical assertions. If you want to go deeper, the ancients' attention to the opponent's face is actually based on the coordination of the five elements of the hand and the body.

Guiguzi said: The most important thing about the palm secret method is those who are qualified and unqualified in the five elements.

It means that the secret of palmistry lies in the coordination with the body. Qualified is good, and unqualified is bad. For example, a wooden-shaped person is qualified if the palm is thin, no matter how thick or thin it is. An earth-shaped person is a thick palm, regardless of the texture. This is the essence of broken palm. This method coincides with the "Tieguandao"'s "Tieguandao" to determine the innate.

In summary, the traditional phase method has its merits to be carried forward and promoted, and of course there are dross that need to be discarded.

As far as palmistry is concerned, if you talk about the health of your six relatives in your career, I suggest you refer to Western Palmistry.
