Palmistry in detail (1)

(Dr. Chen Yi Kui)

Facial and palmistry come from different sources, and researchers have different perspectives. The study of palmistry by the Chinese is a matter of modern times. Facial expression originated in the Yangtze River basin of China, and fortune-telling originated in the Yellow River basin. Palmistry originated from India and then spread to China, and then combined with Chinese Buddhism to be passed down. During the Tang Dynasty, Japanese and many overseas students came to China to study religion (Buddhism) and fortune-telling. Fortune-telling already had a horoscope in the Tang Dynasty, and the Japanese called it four pillars. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism prevailed, and Buddhism emphasized the posture of hands and feet, and the posture of hands was called big mudra. The Japanese are quite a part of studying the philosophy of life. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirate merchants often harassed the coastal areas of southeastern China. Japanese culture spread to southern China. For example, the foreign invasions along the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian were called Japanese pirates. After the Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, Japan's influence ranged from North Korea to the northeast, which drove the Songhua River, Heilongjiang and other places to pay attention to opponents. Palmistry is less valued in the Central Plains, and fortune-telling is more important. Palmistry is different in what everyone studies. Tantric black teaching master Lin Yun combined with Chinese methods. Palmistry handed down from the Buddhist world is mainly rounded and plump and slender fingertips. It can be seen from the literary works that "Journey to the West" describes the palm of the Tathagata Buddha. Many traditional novelists mentioned that martial arts high and powerful will be depicted with hands and feet, and the most mysteriously written is Chu Liuxiang's miracle of fingering.

The origins of palmistry spread from religion to the Middle East, extended to Greece, including Gypsies (combined with playing cards), then spread to all of Europe, and then to the Americas, laying the foundation for palmistry. Palmistry in Europe is divided into palms and fingers. Germany was the first to use fingerprints to study criminology, and to collect fingerprints for theft and murder to establish archives. The Japanese use fingerprints in fortune-telling, including spiral patterns and dustpan patterns. After Japan took over Taiwan, the fingerprint files were not available until after the Meiji Restoration.

Palmistry can't tell you a broken relationship, but you can tell from your face; the palm of your hand can tell whether you are a vegetarian. The palm of your hand is white and thin as paper, which can be presumed to be a vegetarian. The palm of your hand can judge your physiological state. Palmistry cannot see the love experience, only the success of career and emotion. It doesn’t matter if the lifeline is short, if it is long and intermittent, it will cause great harm to health. The fewer palmistry lines, the less worries; if you look at the chaotic lines on the right palmistry, the more worries you have, the more you are responsible for your character.

 In fact, it is more difficult to study hands than to study faces. People who study the palm of their hands mostly read books, which are flat. The research aspect can be observed and sampled every day, such as taking a bus, MRT, etc., and behaviors can tell his personality. In life, you will encounter all kinds of complicated problems. Only with tolerance can problems be solved better. People who work their lives are hard-working and orderly in nature. If women are very hardworking, they probably have the habit of cleanliness.

​The large structure of the hand: fingers and palms. The easiest way to study palmistry is to study palm shape, palm print, finger shape and fingerprint. The palms can be divided into hard texture and soft texture. People with hard texture have very rough palms and they are straight; those with soft texture have very dense palms, which are very inclusive and understandable. When you want to use people, you must shake hands with the other person in addition to looking at the picture. If you are a hard-textured person, you must release the power to him, otherwise he will get in the way and become a stumbling block to you. A civil official wants to be a soft-textured person with big palms. People with soft fingers are lazy, and those with hard fingers are more responsible. Fingers have to be long and palms are many to be wise. Predecessors would draw very long fingers when painting Buddha statues. The representative politically affected by this is the Empress Dowager Cixi.

​Fortune-telling is a psychological problem, do not complicate it. Research has to pay a lot of price, you need to be specialized, but you can't make rash judgments.
