Why wedding Ring should be worn on the 4th finger?

My dearest gang,

We humans are quite a complex lot. We tend to give a lot of value to hearsays rather than making that extra effort to get to the bottom of things.

I remember reading in one of the 100s of motivation books that I've read sometime back and I cant quite remember which one or who wrote it but I remember the essence of the story somehow. It went like this, the author asked his wife why she'd cut off the top of the aubergines (or was it another veg? Gee! Apologies, my memory does not serve me well this morning) before baking them? The wife said her mom did it that way. When he asked his mom-in-law why she did it that way, she said her mother did it that way too. Not contented with that answer the hubby decided to ask his wife's grandmother. Grandma said in her time she had to cut the tops off as they did not sell the right size baking tins then, to make sure all the aubergines would fit. So there you go.

We sometimes do what we do, based on hearsay and not based on facts.

So why then wedding Ring should be worn on the 4th finger?

I googled and got this for you.

Straight to the Heart

In ancient times, the Egyptians and the Romans shared the belief that a vein from the fourth finger lead directly to the heart. As such, it seemed a logical place for the placement of the wedding band. The practice was passed down and the fourth finger is now universally known as the ring finger. Science has since disproved that theory, but it is still romantic to think that our wedding rings are on a direct path to our hearts.

Oh! Boy! This is still not a definitive answer for us.

Ok, how about this explanation that I received from OG Munirah Hamid (K Muni). Maybe this is it! (Ha ha ha...and why there is a ring of non conviction here in my voice?). Hey, guys this is strictly for fun. Enjoy.

I have not attempted to delete the chinese literature that came together here for authenticity. I also left translation as is. I love such studies. It has high entertainment value, indeed.

Cheers,

Ruby.



为什么婚戒要带在无名指上 (Why wedding ring should put on the forth finger)

请照着步骤做，你会发现上天造人的奥妙 (Pls follow the below step, really god make this a miracle)

1、首先大家伸出两手，将中指向下弯曲，对靠在一起，就是中指的背跟背靠在一起。
(Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back).

2、然后将其他的4个手指分别指尖对碰。
(Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips).

3、在开始游戏的正题之前，请确保以下过程中，5个手指只允许一对手指分开。
(Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split).

下面开始游戏的正题。

(It was correctly pointed out by my friend (very sharp and observant person, as always and thanks dear for pointing this out) that the model is wearing wedding ring on little finger. Shucks! Hey wait a sec, I get it...I think that is model's own ring and they forgot to remove it during photography.)

4、请张开你们那对大母指，大母指代表我们的父母，能够张开，每个人都会有生老病死，父母也会有一天离我们而去。
(Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open cause all human does go thru sick and dead. Which is our parents will leave us one day).

5、请大家合上大母指，再张开食指，食指代表兄弟姐妹，他们也都会有自己的家世，也会离开我们。
(Pls close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which is too they will leave us too).

6、请大家合上食指，再张开小母指，小母指代表子女，子女长大后，迟早有一天，会有自己的家庭生活，也会离开我们。
(Now close up your second finger, open up your little finger, this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got they own living to live)
7、那么，请大家合上小母指，再试着张开无名指。这个时候，大家会惊奇的发现无名指怎么也张不开，因为无名指代表夫妻，是一辈子不分离的。
(Nevertheless, close up your little finger, try to open your further finger which we put our wedding ring, you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other).

真正的爱，粘在一起后，是永生永世都分不开的。
(Real love will stick together ever and forever)

在命相学上也是这样

大姆指代表父母 (Thumb represent parents)
食指代表兄弟 (Second finger represent brothers & sisters)
中指代表自己 (Centre finger represent own self)
无名指代表配偶 (Fourth finger represent your partner)
小指代表子女 (Last finger represent your children)
