What are the wearing methods and significance of Banzhi?

The finger wrench should be worn on a person's thumb when worn. Ancient jade fingers were first used by people to protect their fingers.

Because the finger wrench was originally a protective device used in shooting, it has become an ornament over time, and it will look more beautiful when worn on the thumb. Finger wrenches are usually worn below the knuckles of the thumb and above the roots of the fingers. Wear it properly, and it will not fall off easily, so as not to strangle the thumb.

Ancient jade fingers were first used by people to protect their fingers. In the era of cold weapons, archery with a bow is a common practice for many men, and it is easy for people to scratch their fingers when pulling arrows with a bow. At that time, the meaning of finger pulling was to protect people's fingers and facilitate archery with a bow.

Origin:

In the TV series of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor and many princes and nobles wore banzhi. Why? In the past, Manchu people wore finger-pulling to protect their bow-pulling hands so as not to be injured in fierce battles.

Later, when the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the stagnation was also known to the Han people. Slowly, many people with status began to wear banzhi to show themselves. There have always been many ways to write "Banzhi", such as Banzhi, Banzhi or Banzhi. This has caused many questions.

But in fact, these are homophones, and people who don't know the inside story will think that this is an inevitable problem of transliteration. But in fact, the word "Banzhi" is more worthy of the name.

Because the function of pulling fingers is mainly equivalent to "trigger". Qi Jiguang, a general in the Ming Dynasty, used "machine" as the title of stagnation. Because the effect of finger pulling is similar to that of the ancient crossbow machine. Both of them buckle the string to accumulate the strength of the bow, and then release the bow (crossbow) string and launch the arrow.
