My dad asked me a question. He asked, why does a wedding band has to be on the fourth finger. Thus, I yahoo-ed it and found something interesting. However, i read it in an email before. Anyways, I'll just share it down here. Here it goes.


This is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese Legend...

• Thumb represents your parents.

• Second (Index) finger represents your siblings.

• Middle finger represents yourself.

• Fourth (Ring) finger represents your life partner.

• Last (Little) finger represents your children.

1.Open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back. As shown below.





2. Open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip.




3. 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.



4.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.



5. Now join the Index fingers and separate your little fingers (representing your children). They will open too, because your children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.



6. Finally, join your little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).












Interesting right? Another simple reason was that the Egyptians believed that a vein in the fourth finger was connected to the heart somehow. The wedding band was also put on the left hand as the left hand is rarely used as compared to the right hand. Thus, protecting the wedding band.



Very interesting!
