Nine buckets and a dustpan?
Nine buckets and a dustpan can pass without doing anything.
Now we look at a person's personality and destiny, mostly by looking at his horoscope, and seldom think of fingerprints. Constellation, after all, is an exotic "species". Only young people like to watch constellations, and rural uncles and aunts basically don't understand this. In rural areas, old people like to look at the fingerprints of younger generations to guess what they will do in the future and whether they are blessed. Therefore, there is a saying: "One bucket is poor and two buckets are rich, three buckets and four buckets sell tofu, five buckets and six buckets open pawn shops, seven buckets and eight buckets are officials, and nine buckets dust off. When you are old, you can eat enough and sit still."
In the past, it was generally believed that the more "battles" a person had, the better. If you have "nine fights", it means that your life is very good and you can get by without too much effort. That's why I said, "Nine fights and a dustpan, you can get by without doing it." However, in some rural areas, there is another more detailed explanation for buckets and dustpans. That is, the barrel is round, symbolizing coins, and the dustpan has an opening, symbolizing pockets. Of course, the more money the better. If you put it in your pocket, it's not just "eating and sitting for the old"! So people in rural areas used to have nine buckets on their fingers, which was quite enviable.
