As the saying goes, "The little finger passes three levels, and when you are old, you will have food and clothing".
This proverb means that as long as you can make sure that your little finger passes three checkpoints, you can ensure that you have enough food and clothing in old age. It conveys a frugal, persistent attitude to life.
"Passing the little finger" refers to the fact that the length of the little finger exceeds the first joint of the ring finger. In our palmistry, people whose little finger is longer than the first joint of their ring finger are considered blessed and will have a better development in life, both in career and financial fortune.
The five fingers of a person are long and short, the longest finger is the middle finger, then the ring finger, then the index finger, and finally the little finger and the thumb.
The ancients believed that if the little finger passed the three levels, it means that their children are very filial, and they will be very productive when they grow up.
Men with long little fingers will have good luck, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, while women with long little fingers will generally find a good husband and spend their lives happily.
Of course, these are just people's expectations and sustenance, and there is no scientific basis, whether the body is healthy, whether the life is happy depends on their own efforts.
The five fingers are also associated with physical health, and in TCM theory, each finger is connected to specific meridians and viscera, and the body's functions can be regulated and health promoted by massaging or stimulating the acupuncture points on the fingers.
1.Thumb: The thumb is connected to the lungs and the meridians of the large intestine. Massaging your thumb can promote the health of your respiratory system and relieve respiratory problems such as asthma and coughing. In addition, the thumb is also associated with the large intestine of the digestive system, and massaging the thumb can help improve constipation problems.
2.Index finger: The index finger is associated with the heart, small intestine, and trifocal meridians. Massaging the index finger can promote blood circulation to the heart, help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. In addition, the index finger is also associated with the small intestine of the digestive system, and massaging the index finger can help relieve indigestion and stomach pain.
3.Middle finger: The middle finger is associated with the pericardium, large intestine, and stomach meridians. Massaging the middle finger balances emotions and relieves anxiety and stress. In addition, the middle finger is also associated with the stomach and large intestine of the digestive system, and massaging the middle finger can help improve digestive function and relieve stomach discomfort.
4.Ring finger: The ring finger is associated with the trifocal, pericardial and small intestine meridians. Massaging the ring finger can promote blood circulation, help improve immunity and resistance, and prevent colds and other diseases. In addition, the ring finger is also associated with health, and massaging the ring finger can improve the problem.

Ancient sayings also have some basis and contain people's observations and summaries of physical health, and while these sayings may lack scientific evidence to support them, they reflect people's awareness of a certain connection between the body and health.
For example, there is a saying that "long fingers, strong body". This proverb expresses the correlation between finger length and physical health. In fact, according to some studies, the length of the fingers is related to the development and function of the endocrine system in the human body. People with a higher proportion of long fingers may have better endocrine balance and immune function.
Another example is "hot palms". This proverb refers to the fact that people who feel warm in their palms are usually in good health. In fact, feeling warm in the palm of your hand may be associated with good blood circulation and energy metabolism in the body, which reflects the overall health of the body.
