The finger-like appearance worn in ancient times

Also known as "board finger", also known as "pull finger" or "bang finger". It is a short tubular ornament worn by Manchu men on the thumb of their right hand. Test its source and use it for practical purposes. As usual, the children of Manchu Eight Banners will go to the bow room of this banner to exercise, and gradually pull the bow from "one strength" (twenty pounds of pulling force) to "twenty strength" or even "thirty strength".

Thumb is mainly used to pull strings, so you just need to wear a finger wrench on your thumb.

Although Ban Zhier has a deep relationship with Manchu, it is not a patent of Manchu. As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the late Neolithic Age, there were articles equivalent to what later generations called "Banzhi". Traditional Han Banzhi is slightly different from Manchu Banzhi: Han Banzhi is trapezoidal in side view, that is, one side is high and the other side is low, while Manchu Banzhi is generally cylindrical. Ban Chi-er is called "silly" in Manchu. Before the Qing army entered the customs, Manchu people banned their fingers with deer bones, and their fingers turned yellow, turning light brown with age, and those with eyes were the most expensive.
