Let's start with an interesting phenomenon. People in the world, rich and poor, have a common image when they are born and die, that is, they all come and go with their fists clenched. As we all know, "Zi Chou Yin Mao...", there is a sequence here.
The greater the "fist power", the longer the lifespan?
The word "Zi" is a large head image of a child at birth, with a large head above and a small body below. After a child is born, people observe a common image of the hands of a child when they are born, that is, holding their big fingers in four fingers. This is the ancient pictogram of the word "ugly". In Taoism, the grip method of holding the thumb between the four fingers is called the grip fixation method.
So why do children always clench their fists like this when they are born? In the correspondence between the five zang organs and the five gods in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, the corresponding god of the liver is the soul. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the liver qi is particularly abundant, the soul of a person is particularly abundant. Just like an oil lamp, if the oil is particularly sufficient, the light will be particularly bright, and this light is a god. When a child is first born, the fontanel (xn) door on the top of his head is not closed, and the fontanel is considered the place where the soul enters and exits. Therefore, the method of grasping and fixing a child at birth is to fix the soul. Taoism believes that the root of the ring finger is the windy orifices of the liver, so the method of holding and fixing is to pinch the thumb at the root of the ring finger. When a child is born, it is so tightly held that it is because when a person is born, his liver qi is particularly abundant, and at the same time, his soul needs to be fixed.
When people die, they also have a common image, which is to let go. This image suggests an important truth to us. At the moment of death, the liver and soul dissipate, and both hands can no longer be fixed. Once the hand is released, the grip strength and liver qi disappear with the soul.
In this way, both human birth and death are closely related to the growth and development of liver qi. In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to the nature of Jueyin, with the ability to generate hair and the ability to achieve coherence. At the same time, this hair generation must also be able to converge. Therefore, when describing the wooden nature of the liver in traditional Chinese medicine, the word "curved and straight" is used. "curved" is its convergence, and "straight" is its regularity. Therefore, the way Chinese traditional culture treats things is very dialectical.
The hand is like a miniature version of the body, with each finger corresponding to a different body organ. Frequently observe the meniscus marks and pain status of each finger, and you can know where the body lights up with a red light. Look, smell, ask, cut. Dry, peeling, and sore fingers are not just skin issues.
1、 Desquamation around the edge of the finger
There are always barbs around the fingertips, and the dead skin comes back after it's gone? This is a sign of poor blood circulation at the end! Numerous microvessels gather at the root of the nail, making it difficult to pass through these tiny microvessels when the body's blood becomes thicker, which can lead to peeling or warping of the skin at the root of the nail due to poor blood circulation.
2、 Horizontal or longitudinal lines appear on the nail surface
The normal nail surface should be smooth, without obvious longitudinal or transverse lines. The surface of the nail is not smooth enough and there are vertical lines, which usually occur after overwork and excessive use of the brain; During periods of insufficient sleep, these vertical lines will appear clearly. If vertical stripes persist, they may be a precursor to poor cardiac function; If there are horizontal lines, it indicates insufficient Qi and blood.
3、 Half monthly number of finger roots
Nail semilunar scars are the boundary between yin and yang meridians and represent the essence of the human body, so they are also known as the health circle. Ten fingers add up to 8 to 10, accounting for one fifth of the area of the nail. Milk white is the best color, and the whiter the color, the stronger the energy. "If 10 fingernails have no or only a slight half moon mark, it indicates that the foundation is cold, and the body, hands, and feet are particularly afraid of the cold.".
4、 Brittle and brittle nails indicate malnutrition
The appearance of delamination in normal nails is often related to endocrine disorders caused by malnutrition and disordered living habits. Severe cases are also accompanied by visceral lesions. It is recommended to undergo a comprehensive physical examination while correcting your lifestyle.
Looking at Health from the Color of Your Nails: What Color Are Your Nails?
Healthy nails: Pink in color, no spots, no lines.
If the nail is pale and colorless, it indicates a loss of qi and blood.
If the nails become purple, it is a precursor to arteriosclerosis, high blood lipids, or cardiac arrest.
If the nails turn blue, it is a severe cold and blood stasis.
If the nails turn yellow, there may be problems with the liver and gall bladder, or poor blood sugar metabolism.
If the nails turn blue, it indicates obstruction of the lungs, such as asthma or emphysema.
Length of index finger relative to ring finger:
Women have higher fertility, are modest, sensitive, relatively prone to breast cancer, and do not take risks; Male fertility is weak, oral expression is strong, aggression is weak, and sense of direction is poor.
Relative length of ring finger to index finger
Women are relatively weak in fertility, overconfident, relatively less prone to breast cancer, and risk takers; Men have strong fertility, weak verbal expression skills, strong aggression, are better at math, and are more prone to autism.
If we want to live longer, we should often exercise our grip strength.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the fingers and meridians are connected, from the thumb to the pinkie, corresponding in turn to the lungs, large intestine, pericardium, triple energizer, heart, and small intestine of the human body, and also concentrating on other important acupoints. Moving your fingers in all directions can not only dredge meridians, but also effectively develop brain cells. Among them, allowing your fingers to quickly "walk" on the table is a good choice, and there are rich and interesting ways to "walk" your fingers at home and abroad.
