What does this proverb mean? Is it really credible? Let's talk about it today
Common saying source
Speaking of which? Short and thick fingers keep you busy all your life? In fact, the origin of proverbs is related to palm readers in ancient Taoism. In ancient times, our ancestors said nothing else. The degree of feudal superstition is not light at all, but anyone who sees fortune-telling in the street.
Taoist, his life is a little bumpy again, or strange things often happen at home. Without saying anything, he went to the fortune teller, which is necessary.
What happened, why, influenced by this eagerness, will be coaxed around by those Taoist priests in most cases.
What about Taoist priests? I like to study metaphysics, gossip, yin and yang, especially people's faces and palms, which can help them.
Make money. Looking for fortune-tellers in the street, grasping one's hand to judge others' future achievements, wealth, longevity, or
What kind of ups and downs people will experience has become their favorite.
But how can a person's fate be so easy to predict? Those Taoist priests are just fooling people. It happened that someone would fall for it and even see it.
Well-informed city dwellers can't escape, let alone simple farmers. This? Short and thick fingers keep you busy all your life? Is the best example.
The ancient peasants and people, because of their underdeveloped technology, all worked by hand, working day after day with simple farm tools.
Often working in the field, usually heavy work, not only leads to thick cocoons on the hands of farmers and ordinary people, but also leads to thick joints. In this case, their hands will be thick and short.
It is precisely because of the peasant's situation that those Taoist priests will definitely classify him as poor when they see such short hands. The poor are not born to be busy all their lives. These Taoist priests are just opportunistic, thinking that ordinary people don't have much education, so they are easy to fool and make some money.
So because of the opportunism of Taoist priests, short and thick fingers keep you busy all your life? This proverb has also been handed down. So is the meaning expressed by this proverb credible?
What you said is a little empty!
To be honest, I don't think this sentence is completely unfounded. I believe that Taoist priests will also look at people's palms for cocoons and clothes when reading palms. People with thick and short fingers and cocoons in their palms indicate that they are already very busy. In that case, this sentence still has some credibility.
However, nothing is absolute, and it cannot be said that people with short fingers will be poor and busy all their lives. What if people are born with this? Besides, who can tell the fate of people? It is also possible that a person may be busy in the first half of his life, make a fortune in the second half, enjoy happiness, and suddenly stop being busy.
The most important thing is that times have changed, and some things are bound to get faster, such as the work industry, such as working people.
Some people look like their fingers are long and white, but in fact they are doing very hard and busy work, such as opera artists. Their hands are beautiful, because if they want to perform on stage, they will not be used to them on weekdays, so they will be well protected. But aren't they busy? No matter whether the weather is cold or warm, they get up every morning, practice their basic skills and perform hard on the stage, but in fact they don't earn much money.
For another example, senior white-collar workers in society now have nothing to do with dirty work. They sit in the office every day, and the sun doesn't shine very much. They just knock on the computer and their fingers become slender. But aren't they busy? It seems easy, but in fact, most people have to work overtime, even staying up late to plan projects, and some people may suffer from diseases such as cervical spondylosis.
