The great imperial doctor of the Su\u00ed Dynasty (581-617) Ch\u00e1o yu\u00e1n f\u0101ng\u5de2\u5143\u65b9 in his book \u300a\u8bf8\u75c5\u6e90\u5019\u8bba\u2022\u4e2d\u6076\u75c5\u8bf8\u5019\u300bzh\u016b b\u00ecngyu\u00e1n h\u00f2u l\u00f9n\u2022zh\u014dng \u00e8r b\u00ecng zh\u016bh\u00f3u: theory on the condition of all ailments, in the chapter dealing with demonic illnesses, also talks about this manner of hand placing.<\/p>\n
The specific method to practice \u201cgripping firmly\u201d is to \u201cplace the thumb against the palm of the hand and pressing the remaining four fingers over it firmly\u201d.\u00a0 In our days, after having studied different methods, we can offer a more precise instruction on the position of the thumb.\u00a0 The tip of the thumb presses slightly the base of the ring finger, immediately the remaining four finger close over the thumb.\u00a0 Press gently, as if wanting to contain a precious item within.<\/p>\n
Why does the tip of the thumb have to be placed on the base of the fourth finger?\u00a0 The ancient thought that the base of the ring finger corresponded to an orifice through which the h\u00fan of the liver could communicate.\u00a0 Because the liver commands the tendons, it allows us to grip, hold.\u00a0 This is why, when one practices this method every day, the benign effects that come from the liver can be reverted.<\/p>\n
