Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger? [ Fwd Nisha Daryani ]
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese Legend…
Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together – back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb – tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)…, they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)…., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)…., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT….., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives – through thick and thin!!
Please try this out………….
ISN’T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?

Cool stuff and nice reading. Cheers.
oh that’s cool! it actually works!
Random fact: If you play instruments, you can move your fourth finger around.
Either that, or I’m a horrible husband.
my rings fingers didn’t stay together.. what does that mean?
no it doesn’t… i can do it….
That’s not fair at all. the middle and ring finger are on the same tendon. of course it’s not gonna work.
nice try though.
that’s a beautiful explanation…
omg it must be magic!
or a shared tendon.
Coincidentally, I read earlier this week that there is an old belief that a nerve connects directly from the ring finger to the heart. I think the reference is associated with acupuncture, again a Chinese connection.
Conveniently enough, the middle fingers are bent back and not mentioned…
Cool but how come you can separate your self(middle finger)?
What a great explaination.
if you can separate your middle fingers it symbolizes your falling apart, which means you’re crazy. Sorry bro.
What nonsense. I can separate all of them. I suspect 1/2 the people on earth can.
Yeah I could separate all of mine. I do stretch my fingers regularly though.
Hmm.
I have no difficulty whatsoever separating my fourth fingers.
I am also divorced, so both my fingers and my marriage were, apparently, not incapable of separation.
To be honest, I find this kind of “feel good” trite nonsense a bit insulting. I’m all for being positive and seeking beauty, but these kind of platitudes that mean nothing and signify only inexperience and an inability to look truth in the face do nothing more foster some untrue notion about life laws that do not, in fact, exist.
I tried this and I can separate my fourth fingers – is there something wrong with me? :D
i can barely separate my fourth fingers, also if I lay down and put my arms straight up in the air(actually, more away from each other), they come together without me forcing them.
It’s a CHINESE LEGEND, folks. Those of you whining, “I can move my finger, I must be special” or “This isn’t true because I can move my friggin’ finger” get over yourselves.
It’s a legend. It isn’t fact. It’s an anecdote.
Now go back to your garage and finish off those feathers held together by wax so you can escape the labyrinth once and for all and be spared by the minotaur.
