But fingerprints are not only the patent of modern people, but also can be seen in various film and television works and unearthed documents. If necessary, you can sign or sign a contract and sign a contract.
This is very strange. After all, there was no fingerprint identification technology in ancient times. Even if the difference between naked eye fingerprints is too complicated, it is easy for people who want to copy fingerprints by small methods. And because of the difference between signature and signature, the fingerprint is very fine. It's hard to say whether these fingerprints will be preserved in decades. Why did the ancients choose such a thankless way? What do you mean by fingerprints?
First of all, why did the ancients follow these guidelines? The most important reason is that not many people could read and write in ancient times. If it is a land property right transaction, can't they draw a circle on the judgment like Ah Q? Because of geomantic omen and palm technique, our ancestors realized as early as the Zhou Dynasty that people's palm prints and fingerprints were different (after all, a set of noble and low principles was derived from them). Therefore, using fingerprints on important contract documents is the most direct and effective method.
Secondly, you don't have to worry about the ancients. In ancient times, fingerprint identification was mainly based on so-called bucket and jump. This mainly depends on the shape and direction of the fingerprint. If the fingerprints are clear, let the nominee and the instructor cover the paper and compare it in the sun? In addition, due to the misleading of film and television works, many of us think that the fingerprints of ancient people are the same as those of modern people. Actually, it's not. When the ancients established fingerprints, they needed at least one finger, and palm prints and footprints were also necessary when necessary. With the help of multiple fingers, the accuracy of this detection is naturally much higher than that of a single guide rail.
In order to ensure the authenticity and validity of contract fingerprints, Tang people adopted at least three methods.
What's the first one? Draw the paper into letters? . So-called? Draw the paper into letters? In fact, it is to leave the distance between three fingers on the name as proof. For example, among the Tang Dynasty cultural relics unearthed in Turpan, Xinjiang, people sometimes sign contracts that read? The government has political laws and regulations and the people follow private contracts? . And a contract, calligraphy and painting refers to letters, and then the parties, guarantors, insiders sign, according to three fingers as evidence. The guarantor is a local rich, powerful and famous old man. He protects the reputation and money of the borrower. The insider is the witness of signing the contract to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of the contract. With this protection, you don't have to worry even if your fingerprints are not clear.
The second is to use fingerprints as evidence. Of course, fingerprints are not just traces of one finger, but traces of four fingers.
