    Awesome vid. I was told that the depth of the philtrum shows how much you respect and how well you treat your family. The deeper it is, the more family oriented you are. Also, the more fingers (fingerprints) you have with swirl mean the more creative you are.

    • @samaraisnt
      @samaraisnt 2 года назад

      The hair whirl thing is a great correlation to creativity! It makes sense someone might call you stubborn the more creatively inclined you are…anyway it’s just for fun. :) My brothers both have one & I have lucky ears ^_^

  • @NurikoGLAY
    @NurikoGLAY 11 лет назад

    morton's toe in chinese says 二指長過公,唔洗一世窮, means that u won't be in poverty alive or not for long. haven't heard of the one u say tho. we can see by looking at the distance btw eyes and eyebrows. If it's far apart then your family bonding is close, whereas a narrow distance means early independent and weaker fam bonding. u can also check on ur palm lines, a line starts btw your thumb and index fing and then slit into 2. longer then 1 finger wide, means u move out from parents place late

    This is my grandma used to say: 一斗穷,二斗富,三斗四斗卖豆腐。 If your fingerprint are all closed circles, then means you have a 斗 (dou3), if you have one 斗 among all the ten fingers, you are poor, two=rich, three, or four, = selling Tofu (maybe means working hard) for living.

    I have heard that if one has rough skin they are extremely competitive, and will even view simple everyday tasks as if there was a score board. If one has smooth skin they are sweet. When one's mouth and or eyebrows (not including the arch) is very, if not perfectly in a strait horizontal line they are logical. And of course, those with dimples are carefree, fun to be around, however they take on other's traits and problems easily.

    I also have the lines on my forearms about an inch from my inner elbow... I think Chinese friends once noticed and made something of it. But I am a mix of European and a bit Native American. Chinese friends said I looked half Chinese (but they hadn't really seen someone half Chinese before) -- they said it was my eyebrows. Thick and dark.

    • @samaraisnt
      @samaraisnt 2 года назад +1

      We natives descended from Asian people, that’s why we are mistaken for “Chinese” (they mean you look generally Asian, they’re just i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t.) Also, these types of traits can exist predominantly in a group but not every single person has it, traits do overlap with Indigenous folks. For instance, 90% of East Asian people have a gene that means you don’t create BO or wet ear wax, we share that trait and it’s the majority of Natives as well. But it doesn’t mean someone without BO is Chinese…it’s just a bad correlation. We’re all related in the human family anyway. :)

    I don't know if it's true or not in Chinese religion (I'm Vietnamese) but I heard that if your lips are bright color then you're kind and sweet but if your lips are dark color then you're mean and possible you'll be punished. And also, (for girls) if you have small feet then you're from a very high class family, the smaller your feet the higher class your family is.
