The ring finger and the story of eternal love

In general, most countries in the world choose to wear wedding rings on the ring finger. For Western countries, this stems from the beliefs of ancient Egyptians and Romans. They believed that at the ring finger, there was a blood vessel leading to the heart. It was called the vena amoris, the "vein of love."

Therefore, wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger affirms eternal love and a lasting connection in marriage. And they designated the ring finger of the left hand as the wedding ring finger because the left hand is closer to the heart than the right hand.

Why wear the wedding ring on the ring finger?

Why the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger is also jokingly explained by the concept of the Chinese. Each finger represents a relationship. The thumb is parents, the index finger is siblings, the middle finger is oneself, the ring finger is the spouse, and the little finger represents the relationship with children.

When you press the tips of your fingers on both hands together. Then bend down the middle finger, and then gradually separate the remaining fingers. It is easy to see that the thumb, index finger, and little finger can all be easily separated.

Only the ring finger cannot be separated. Because parents cannot live with you forever, nor can siblings and children. Only your spouse will always be with you.

For this reason, it is understandable why the wedding ring is not worn on the little finger, index finger, middle finger, or thumb, isn't it?
