In our traditional culture, the colloquial saying is one of the folk cultures that our ancestors have passed down from generation to generation. As the experience of the ancestors in the production and life of the ancestors, the saying has played a very important guiding role in our lives.
Because the colloquial language is rooted in folk culture, it has the characteristics of catchy and easy to understand, and it is precisely because of this characteristic of the colloquial language that it can be passed down to this day only by relying on the oral transmission of folk people in the absence of written records.
The slang is very broad and encompasses all aspects of our lives. For example, the saying about living, "It is better to lose money and wealth than to give up the house to the south"; there are also the sayings of the line, "seven do not come out, eight do not return", "do not go out and do not show white, dew will lose money"; there are also sayings about eating, "eat and stretch your waist, the sky will not be spared" and so on.
In addition to these, there are many sayings about knowing people, such as "marry a wife without marrying a high cheekbone", "turtle back snake waist can not be intercourse" and so on. Among the many proverbs, there is the saying that "the palm of the hand is left for four straight, and the wealth does not need to be sought".
So, what does this sentence mean?
In fact, this sentence is also very simple to say.
The so-called "four straight in the palm of the hand, wealth does not need to be sought", it is said that if there are four straight lines in the hand, it indicates that whether it is wealth or blessing, it will not be too little. You don't have to ask for them, they will be delivered automatically.
This sentence is actually rather one-sided.
In our contemporary view, the lines in a person's hands are influenced by genes and have no foreshadowing effect on our future lives. Nor can we see in our hands what blessings and misfortunes are good and what is rich.
So, on what basis did the old ancestor think that "the four in the palm of the hand remain, and the wealth does not need to be sought"?
The ancients called this pattern with four clear lines in the palm of the hand "four straight lines". There is such a saying in the folk: "The four straight merits can be sought, and the middle-aged wish to reach it does not have to worry." The meaning is obvious, that is, this person can achieve fame, especially in middle age, will be more accessible.
Such a statement naturally stems from the "predestination" of the old ancestors. Folk often say that "everything is fate, half a point is not up to people", such a statement, although you can let yourself see a little when you encounter difficulties, but it also limits people's courage to fight and dare to change their thinking.
When people's lives are not satisfactory, they will use "life" to enlighten and convince themselves to submit to the present.
The old ancestors believed that a person's poverty, wealth, wealth, and inferiority, life and death, and so on, are all caused by the destiny of heaven, and they cannot not yield to themselves. Today, however, most people no longer think that way. Although people do not completely reject this statement of "four straight in the palm of the hand, wealth does not need to be sought", it will only be regarded as a condiment of life, or a kind of expectation that people long for a better life.
There are many similar folk sayings, and the fundamental reason is nothing more than the acquiescence of the ancestors to the doctrine of mandate of heaven, and at the same time, they are full of hope and expectation for a better life in the future.
In general, whether we have four stripes or three stripes in our hands, as long as we have the opportunity to appear in front of our eyes, we must rush forward, and do not believe in the so-called fate. Because even if it is destined, it is in the palm of our hands.
