the Chinese explanation of why the
wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger
♥
The thumb
represents your parents. The index finger represents your
siblings. The middle finger represents yourself. The ring finger
represents your life partener and your little finger/pinky
represents your children. Now join your hands with your middle
finger back-to-back and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip. Now,
try to seprerate your thumbs. They will seperate because your
parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your
thumbs and seperate your index fingers. They will seperate
because your siblings will have their own families an lead their
own lives. Rejoin your index fingers and seperate your little
fingers/pinkies. They will seperate because your children will
grow up,get married and settle down. Rejoin your little
fingers/pinkies and try to seperate your ring finger. They will
not seperate because your life partener is meant to be with you
thoughout your entire life, through thick and
thin. If you try a long time to
seperate them, your middle finger will start to hurt meaning if
you and your partener ever seperated you would hurt.
