The classic of divination handed down from ancient times: the origin of palm reading

As we all know, palm reading is not unique to China. There are three kinds of palm reading: western palm reading, Indian palm reading and China palm reading. Palmistry has a long history and has finally become a major landscape today. It's just that China's palm reading is not as popular as the western palm reading, which originated in China. Most people think that this is actually superstition ... where did palmistry come from in the long history? Let me know.

Palmistry originated very early. According to historical records, palm reading in China and the Mediterranean in BC has been very popular. According to the remains of ancient India, or the records left in temple murals, or even the stone tablets left by Brahmanism, it can be inferred that palmistry was quite popular in ancient India.

China's physiognomy also has a long history. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of physiognomy were popular in Central Plains countries. A relatively complete palm reading work should be Bone written by Wang Chong in the later Han Dynasty. Later, Wang Fu's Liexiang Pian, Xu Fu's Shouxiang Pian and Job's Dongji Pian were the most systematic physiognomy works in ancient China.

Today, China's palm reading is far less developed and popular than the western palm reading. Moreover, the study of western palmistry, based on medical anatomy and practice and statistics, is more rational and desirable. However, China's palm study is based on metaphysics, with broad ideological space, strong creativity and less practice and statistics. Although palm reading can be divided into Chinese and western knowledge, it is almost the same in practical application. Although the names are different, we can compare and learn from each other. The purpose is to seek good fortune and avoid evil!

The so-called "palm reading method", first look at the palm shape, then look at the gossip. The palm is thick and thin, indicating the length, the depth of the grain, the brightness and stagnation of the palm color, the position of the monarch and the minister is guaranteed, the five elements are consistent, the gossip is stopped, and the guest and the host are flat. Only the host can pay attention to the guests, and the guests are not allowed to pay attention to the host. "

Palmists classify palms into five categories: gold, wood, water, fire and earth according to the shapes of their palms and finger bones, representing five talents and tendencies respectively. For example, wooden hands represent wisdom, and people with this hand shape advocate spiritual thoughts, so they often focus on ideals and achievements when doing things. Therefore, before discussing with others, we should observe the shape of the palm to predict its future trend.

The core of this theory is the branches of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams Yijing, and the theoretical system is complex and profound.

Ancient divination and divination belong to fortune telling. Fortune-telling, China's prediction has a long history, and its origin can be traced back to Fu, the highest city. After that, Zhou Wenwang played gossip and fortune-telling began to be gradually established. But the specific development process is relatively long. Every generation has contributed more or less.

Fortune telling is a form for people to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. People often use it to predict various future events and fortune telling, which is a common name for divination. There were various ways in ancient times, such as Oracle bone divination, five-element calculation, physiognomy, eight-character fortune telling, linen divination and so on.
