Thumb means parents.
Index - brothers and sisters.
The middle one is you.
Nameless - your partner (spouse).
The little finger means your children.
Why is the wedding ring placed on the ring finger?
Place your palms together, with your middle fingers touching the outer sides.
Then simply touch the other 4 pairs of fingers with pads (thumb to thumb, index to index, and so on).
The game begins, follow the instructions, but do not forget that out of five pairs of fingers you can only tear off two fingers from each other at a time.
Try to tear the pads apart from each other thumbs, which mean parents. Happened? This happened because all people get sick in their lives, and at the end of their lives they die. This gap symbolizes that our parents will one day leave us forever.
Now put the pads of your thumbs together, and then tear the pads of your index fingers apart, which symbolize brothers and sisters. Happened? This happened because they also have (or will have) their own families for which they will leave us.
Now place the pads of your index fingers together and then separate the pads of your little fingers, which represent your children. Happened? Sooner or later our children will start their own families and leave us.
However, put the pads of your little fingers together, and now try to tear the pads apart ring fingers, on which we put wedding rings. You will be surprised, but these two fingers cannot be opened completely (without tearing the other fingers away from each other), because they symbolize husband and wife, and the fact that you will touch everything throughout your life.
True love will last forever...

Wedding ring. Symbol and traditions
A wedding is unlikely to be complete without wedding rings - well, perhaps a radical couple may dream of wedding bracelets or something else extravagant... But most often, the bride dreams of how her lover will put a sparkling testimony of his love on the ring finger of her right hand and desire to be with her all my life - an engagement ring.
The history of the origin of such a symbol as the wedding ring is unclear. Perhaps in ancient times it was something like a talisman that brought good luck. The ring represents a closed circle, therefore it means endless love and devotion that lovers promise to each other. Different sources describe the history of the origin of the tradition of wedding rings differently. Some authors believe that this tradition has its roots in Ancient Egypt, others - in Ancient Greece. In ancient times, nomads tied the bride’s feet with hoops made of fragrant straw so that she would not run away from the groom. Subsequently, the unreliable straw “shackles” were replaced by leather ones, then by stone ones. In Ancient Rome they were made of iron, in the 15th century - diamond. Since those times, people's lives have changed a lot, but wedding rings, as an indispensable attribute of a wedding celebration, still exist today.
Only, if some peoples could afford to tie a flower on their finger as a sign of love and fidelity, then modern brides and grooms put gold rings on each other’s fingers. Although the material of the rings may be different, the main thing is mutual feeling which it symbolizes. It is also important that young people like wedding rings: you should not forget when buying an engagement ring - it will last a lifetime!

Beautiful Chinese wisdom
Now try to connect the little fingers, thumbs, index and ring fingers with pads, and the middle fingers with phalanges, as in the picture.
Here's what happens:
The little fingers, thumbs and index fingers remain mobile. This means that sooner or later you will leave your parental home. Your paths with your brothers and sisters will also diverge and your children will not be able to be with you forever...
But it is impossible to sever the ring fingers (or at least it is very difficult). Thus, they show that a husband and wife should be together for the rest of their lives.
This is an interesting interpretation.
Ancient Egypt
The first wedding rings, which appeared about 5,000 years ago, were not gold. The Egyptians wove them from reeds that grew along the banks of the Nile - the river of the past, present and future. Such rings could be afforded by the most simple people- farmers, shepherds, lotus pickers...
It was the Egyptians who were the first to put wedding rings on the ring finger. And all because the doctors of ancient civilization were keenly interested in the structure human body and discovered: only through this finger (on the left hand) does a vein pass directly to the heart. On the other hand, the ring finger is practically not used for work, and therefore the ring put on it did not interfere with everyday activities.
Antique “language of rings” - Ancient Greece
The so-called “language of rings” originated in Ancient Greece and was widely used by men until the beginning of the last century to communicate basic information about their personal lives.
The ring finger, according to inherited Egyptian tradition, was accompanied by the goddess of love, Aphrodite. Naturally, the ring on this finger spoke of marital ties or the presence of a bride, lover or lover.
The ring on the index finger signaled that its owner was looking for a future wife.
If the middle finger was decorated with a ring, the man emphasized his amorous successes and declared that he would not mind having a mistress.
The little finger, decorated with a ring, indicated the absence of a lover, but also disinterest in finding a partner (at the moment).
"Subtle energies" of the Slavs
In ancient pagan times, the Slavs worshiped the solar deity - Yaril, who also patronized all living things. The ring finger was connected to it, so it was on it that wedding rings were worn. In order for them to serve as powerful family amulets, they were made smooth - according to the Slavs, patterns destroyed magical properties.
The husband gave it to his wife Golden ring, carrying masculine, solar energy. The wife gave her husband a silver ring, thereby transferring to him part of the lunar, feminine energy. This is how balance and “harmony” were established between the spouses.
Wedding rings were considered more precious the more generations in the family wore them. Moreover, the Slavs did not part with these symbols of marital unity either day or night.
There is also information that in Ancient Rus' wedding rings were also worn on the index finger, as is customary among Jews today. However, with the introduction Orthodox traditions The ring finger secured final leadership.
Esoterics and Scientific Interpretation
Previously, esotericism was dominated by the reputation of “quackery,” but times change, and science does not stand still. Today no one doubts that the human body contains not only physical tissues, but a higher “energy plane.” Energy passes through special energy channels, and it turns out that it can be influenced in a completely physical way.
It is believed that a wedding ring on the ring finger restricts the flow of energy leading to the heart. By “exchanging” rings, lovers close the channel of their partner’s love to themselves, and thereby close their heart to other passions.
However, doctors are not delighted with all this - after all, a huge number of nerve endings are concentrated on the hands, which are affected by the rings. In addition, the very material from which they are made can sometimes cause owners a lot of trouble. Science knows of cases where infertile women only had to remove their wedding ring to get pregnant. Or get rid of problems with the kidneys, liver, heart, nervous system, as well as migraines. Everything here is individual, but doctors also mention the benefits of gold rings: it turns out that they protect against arthritis and arthrosis (at least one single finger). But, on the other hand, we use it so little - maybe it just “wears out” less than others?
But, it doesn’t matter which finger to wear the ring on or whether to wear it at all, the main thing is that love and prosperity reign in the house.
Everyone knows that the most important symbol in marriage is the wedding ring. The question immediately arises: why not some other precious item, such as a bracelet or earrings?
The explanation is quite simple and lies in the fact that the rings are presented in the form of a closed strip of metal, symbolizing stability, immutability, eternity and infinity. Thus, the ring is considered a symbol of fidelity and eternal love, which guarantees cohesion in relationships, the ability to support each other in Hard time, as well as such quality as consistency. Today this symbol no longer has the same power as before. Although all newlyweds swear and believe that they will find immeasurable happiness.
But still, the question certainly arises: why is the ring finger the place where wedding rings are worn?
According to legend, the first rings appeared among the Egyptians, who made them from gold for exchange during marriage. To do this, they took a strip of gold and gave it round shape, which symbolizes fidelity and love. The inhabitants of Ancient Egypt put rings on the middle finger of their left hand, believing that it was the connecting thread between the vein and the heart, thereby symbolizing love. Thus, Eastern peoples traditionally wear a wedding ring on the middle finger.
Residents of European countries are accustomed to wearing a wedding ring on their right hand, namely on their ring finger. There is a belief that he has miraculous power, thanks to the ring. Speaking of the Egyptians, ancient Greeks and Romans, it was this finger that they used to rub in healing ointments. According to legend, a finger wearing a wedding ring could be cured of illness.
There is also another legend according to which we owe it to the ancient Hellenes for wearing a ring on the ring finger, speaking of the busyness of a person’s heart. They were the ones who tied the ring and love together. If a person wore a ring on his index finger, then he was actively searching. The presence of a ring on the little finger indicated an unwillingness to marry. The presence of a ring on the middle finger testified to the unprecedented victories of its owner on the love front.
The act of the Christians was quite wise in that it was legal to wear a ring on the ring finger of the left hand, associating it with church ritual. Since the 9th century, the Pope has blessed the engraving of church text on the ring. But this was characteristic only of Catholics, since the Orthodox were accustomed to wearing them on the right hand, while the ring finger of the left hand was for divorced people.
So, in history there are many options for wearing a wedding ring, which is a symbol of the bond of marriage. And it doesn’t matter where this symbol of love and fidelity is worn. The main thing is that everything in life goes well for the married couple. In a word, so that there is advice and love in their lives.
