A bucket is a container for measuring grain in the old days. It is mostly a trapezoidal container surrounded by four wooden boards. It is rarely seen nowadays. I remember that when I was in middle school, I studied an essay by Mr. Ye Shengtao, which was about farmers' harvest. The title was "An Overharvest of Three to Five Dou".
A dustpan is a bamboo utensil, rectangular in shape, with three sides closed and one open. Its main purpose is to remove the chaff from the rice. When I was a child, I would often see my mother sitting in front of the door with her arms folded, shaking her hands up and down. After a while, the ground would be covered with a thin layer of chaff.
Of course, the "bucket" and "dustpan" mentioned here are not daily utensils, but the innate lines on the belly of the fingers. Generally speaking, people's fingerprints are divided into two shapes: "bucket" and "dustpan" shapes. One is a "bucket" shape that is a closed convolution, and the other is a "dustpan" shape that is wavy and open.
Specifically speaking, the bucket-shaped fingerprints are arranged in a swirl pattern, starting from the closed circle in the middle and winding outward, just like the annual rings of an old tree, and the circles are connected; the dustpan fingerprints are arranged in a ripple pattern, starting from the closed circle in the middle. The center extends outwards in sequence, like a dustpan woven from wicker.
Whether it is bucket lines or dustpan lines, they are congenital physiological phenomena and have unique personal attributes. For example, fingerprint recognition is very important in case detection; and in today’s smartphones, fingerprints are also the safest way to unlock them.
Under normal circumstances, the ten fingerprints on our hands include dustpan patterns and bucket-shaped patterns. Rarely are they all the same pattern. Some have more bucket-shaped patterns, and some have more bucket-shaped patterns. There are more dustpan patterns and there is no standard.
It is precisely because of this innate talent that people in the old days used the functions of two daily tools, dustpans and buckets, to make wild inferences about the wealth and poverty of destiny, and made mistakes. Many interesting jingles have been produced, which are summarized as follows:
Saying 1: One dou for the poor, two for the rich, three for the four to open the temple treasury, five for the six for the white horse, seven for the eight for the realm, There are nine buckets and ten buckets across the high platform.
Argument 2: One dou is poor, two dou is rich, three dou and four dou are covered with grass cloth, five dou and six dou open a shop, seven dou and eight dou are official, nine dou and one dustpan are used to eat dry food. The champion among ten fights.
Myth 3: One bucket for poverty, two buckets for rich, three buckets for selling tofu, four buckets for catching dogs, five buckets for high-ranking officials, six buckets for sharpening swords and guns, seven buckets for filial piety, eight buckets for honoring Bodhisattva. , nine out of nine fights will make him a prefect, and he will have merit in ten fights against him.
Myth 4: One bucket is poor, two buckets are rich, three buckets and four buckets open a medicine shop, five buckets are a matchmaker, six buckets are a craftsman, seven buckets and eight buckets run away from home, nine buckets and ten buckets are more and more rich.
Myth 5: One dou will make you poor, two dou will make you rich, three or four dou will open the temple treasury, five dou will make you a peacemaker, six dou will make you strong, seven dou will be the worst, there will be no disaster in your life, eight dou will eat you If you have enough grain, you won't have to worry about nine or ten buckets of wealth.
Myth 6: One dou is poor, two dou is rich, three dou and four dou open a temple treasury, five dou and six dou live in a tiled house, seven and eight dou weave cotton, nine and ten dou drive a salt boat.
Myth 7: One bucket is poor, two buckets are full, three buckets and four buckets open a pawn shop, five buckets and six buckets are magical, seven buckets and eight buckets sit in a sedan chair, nine buckets and ten buckets are lucky, ten buckets are zero buckets "Beggars leave."
It is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity of all these inconsistent statements. I think that this is at best the psychological reaction of the older generation's desire for wealth, and there is no lack of joking elements in it. There is no scientific basis for this.
The reason is also very simple. As a container for holding food, the more the better, of course, which means that you will have no worries about eating and drinking, and you will have abundant wealth; while dustpans are just the opposite. It is winnowed out, and it does not store grain like a bucket. You can't keep it even if you make money, and you will end up with nothing.
As mentioned earlier, the fingerprints on most of our fingers have both ". There are also "bucket" and "dustpan", but it is rarer to be all "bucket" or all "dustpan". In life, as long as you pay a little attention, there are indeed not many fingerprints of the same color.
According to relevant statistics Data show that these two types of people are less than one in 2,000 people in the entire human race, which means that only one case can occur in more than 2,000 people. Especially people who are all "dustpans" are even rarer, and I am afraid it can only occur in 3,000 people. It's hard to find one.
Of course, the accuracy of this statistic is open to question.
Due to the scarcity of all-color fingerprints, they are particularly valued by people. There is even a popular saying among the people that "nine buckets of luck will bring you luck, and ten dustpans will make you a beggar." It is believed that people with ten bucket-shaped patterns have good luck. It is destined to be rich and noble, but a person with ten dustpan patterns will be penniless and destitute.
You don’t need to pay attention to this statement. The same definition of ten dustpan grains is also said among the people: “If you have ten dustpans, you will have both money and money” and “Ten fingers of dustpan will not eat you.” "Wait for an explanation. It is believed that women and men with dustpan lines are destined to be phoenixes and have excellent luck.
It is said that this is based on the theory of yin and yang balance in the Book of Changes. Yin is a "manifold" and yang is a "vortex." The 10 fingerprints are all dustpans, which is exactly the extremely yin palmistry, so it is Known as the "Feng Ming".
For women, the Feng Ming is the destiny of wealth and wealth. They are independent in life and work, are usually stubborn, have strong ability to withstand pressure, and will have success in their careers. Not bad. It is said that Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history, had ten dustpan fingerprints.
If a man has 10 dustpan fingerprints, his fate will not be too bad. That is, they are gentle and gentle. It is said that emperors such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi also had ten dustpan fingerprints.
In this case, which one is better, the bucket fingerprint or the dustpan fingerprint? It is inevitable that people will be confused and confused. I think these are purely nonsensical conjectures that make no sense and are not worth worrying about.
Fingerprints are a physiological characteristic of people. , How can we not determine the direction of a person's destiny? Happiness needs to be created by our hands. If we place our hope on palm reading, it will only be a sweet dream in the end, which will make us laugh!
