There is a saying in the countryside, "Short fingers will lead to unemployment; What do you mean by "bullying others with the middle finger"?

Everyone has hands, but everyone has different hands. Some hands are rough, while others are smooth and delicate. A pair of hands can show everyone's living standard, and human life is created by hands, which shows the importance of hands.

Because hands are very important, our ancestors all had a proverb about fingers. For example, in the title, what does this proverb mean? "Short little finger, unemployed, long middle finger, bullying"? Let me say it briefly.

"Short little finger, unemployed" seems unreasonable at first glance. Why do short fingers lose their jobs? From the finger point of view, although each finger has its own proportion, some people's little finger is shorter than the average person's little finger, which is nothing, but it is different from the ancient point of view.

The ancients thought that if the little finger is shorter than the first section of the ring finger, it means that this person's career future is very simple, because they think that the little finger has a lot to do with people's career.

Because the first paragraph of the little finger represents personal ability, the second paragraph represents language ability, and the third paragraph represents social ability. If the little finger is short, it proves that these abilities are not good. Since the ability is not good, the ability to work is definitely not good, so the saying that "the little finger is short and you lose your job" is derived.

And "the middle finger is long, bullying people" is easier to understand. The ancients thought that if a person's middle finger is particularly long, it is a good symbol, because they associated it with self-confidence. People with short middle fingers have no endurance and naturally procrastinate. The person with the middle finger is different. The ancients thought that these people were very confident in doing things, so they showed their hegemony. Everything is done in the image of a strongman, and naturally it is a "little bully."

Does what our ancestors said make sense?

I think these rural proverbs are reasonable, because there have been such true stories around the author.

Because when the author was at school, I had already studied calligraphy, and I also studied it in class. I found that a male classmate's fingers are very slender, which is different from ordinary people, especially the middle finger. I told him that I would become the leader of a company in the future.

Originally thought it was a joke, but many years later, this boy actually became an executive of a big company with an annual salary of 400,000 to 500,000.

However, we should treat these proverbs dialectically. After all, many proverbs are based on the experience of the ancients, and these experiences may have passed away today. If we want to judge a person's career future by the length of fingers, it is indeed a bit one-sided, because wealth and career are determined by our efforts, not the length of fingers.

To put it bluntly, if we want to succeed, we should study hard and work hard, instead of simply judging the future of our lives by the length of our fingers. Although there is such an example around the author, that classmate really studies hard, not because I can succeed in one sentence. Do you think so?
