There is a really good explanation for this..are you ready?..OK! The Chinese see the hand as a representation. The thumb stands for the parents, the pointer finger for the siblings, the third finger for you, the fourth finger as your partner and the pinkie as your children. To understand this you will need to follow the demonstration as I explain it to you.
Put your hands together like you are holding a globe and touch the tips of your fingers together. Take your middling fingers and roll them down where the backs of the fingers are touching and the rest are still tip to tip. The thumbs: you can move them separate them...see your parents are not meant to live with you forever because you are going to grow up and move out on your own. now put them back together.
The pointer fingers: you can move them separate them...see your siblings are not meant to live with you forever because you will go your separate ways and start your own little families. now put them back together.
The pinkies: you can move them separate them..see your children are not meant to live with you forever because they will grow up and move out on their own and start their own families. now put them back together.
The fourth finger: you cannot move them or separate them..because that is your partner your destiny. Hence the ring finger name for it.
I hope you enjoyed that and if you didnt' know that already then you learned something new for the day :) I hope you enjoy telling others about this and being able to show them first hand :)
