What are the palm postures?

As the old saying goes, "Turn your hands into clouds, and cover your hands for rain". In fact, this is not a popular sentence of the ancients, but a micro-motion code with realistic foundation, which can help us decipher the different meanings of different palm gestures. For example, when we don't want others to get close, we often straighten our arms and stop each other's progress with our palms; When we want to show our authority, we often put our palms on the table to strengthen our tone of speech. From these familiar scenes, it is not difficult to find all kinds of enlightenment from palm posture. In life, we can often see different palm gestures. For example, when people don't want to listen to what others say, they will involuntarily straighten their palms and point to the ground. At this time, this palm gesture represents refusal; When people don't want to do something, but have to do it, they often straighten their palms up to show their helplessness. If you add a shrug, the compromise of this palm posture is more obvious.

It can be seen that each palm posture has a unique meaning, which deserves our in-depth study.

Usually the palm posture can be divided into two types: palm up and palm down. The psychological characteristics of these two movements are completely different. The former means compromise, while the latter means rejection. Their meaning can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, generals often gave orders with their palms. When he raises his hand, the soldiers will March forward bravely. And when he raised his hand backwards, the soldiers would run away. With the passage of time, although this command has gradually disappeared, people have turned it into an up-and-down movement of the palm.

When a person's palm is straight and downward, it shows authority and control over others. This gesture gives the impression that the desire for control is on the rise, so this gesture is very common between superiors and subordinates. When people with equal status and identity make an action, they often express the meaning of refusal, that is, the user does not want to be controlled or does not believe in the authority of the other party. When a person's palm is straight up, it means compromise and sincerity, which is a friendly gesture. The origin of this gesture can be traced back to history. Historically, when people make this gesture of palm, it is usually just to express a meaning-I have no weapon in my hand. Later, after a long evolution, people took this gesture as a friendly gesture.

Although there are only two gestures in the palm of your hand, there are many movements extending from it. Here, two common gestures are analyzed to help you crack the action code between palms.
