Hand Diagnosis
Tags
Summary
The book divides the palm into nine zones, each corresponding to the reflex zone of a different organ. When particular features appear at particular positions on the palm, hand diagnosis can help us understand our health. The book also presents methods for assessing health through nail shape, palm shape, palm color, and palm lines, with nearly one hundred palm-print illustrations for comparison to help readers locate positions accurately.
Knowing about hand diagnosis enables readers to prevent possible illnesses as early as possible and to detect hidden conditions early—early discovery, early treatment.
Editor's review
The book is divided into two parts: foundational theory and clinical application. The foundational part details palm zoning and the naming and significance of major and auxiliary lines, with numerous high-resolution hand photographs for readers to study. The clinical part is organized by system, covering palm features of common conditions of the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems, with key points for differential diagnosis. This arrangement ensures systematic knowledge while emphasizing practical value.
It should be noted that this book does not promote the mysticism of "palm lines determine destiny" but stresses hand changes as an auxiliary means of health screening. The author repeatedly reminds readers that hand diagnosis should be combined with other clinical examinations for comprehensive judgment, reflecting a rigorous medical attitude. The book's content on early palm manifestations of subhealth and patterns of palm-line evolution in chronic disease has forward-looking significance for health management.
For TCM enthusiasts, the book offers a new perspective on inspection techniques; for health practitioners, it expands the toolkit of non-invasive examination. Note that some content requires a foundation in medical knowledge to fully understand; readers are advised to maintain a rational view and treat it as a modern interpretation of traditional medical wisdom rather than an absolute diagnostic standard.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- TCM learners interested in traditional Chinese inspection techniques
- Health enthusiasts seeking non-invasive methods of health self-check
- Primary care practitioners looking to broaden their diagnostic approaches
- Professionals in health management or rehabilitation
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting quick, simple palmistry fortune-telling
- Anxious patients hoping to fully replace modern medical examinations
Reading tips
- Read the foundational theory chapters first to build an overall understanding of palm zones and their correspondence to the body
- In the clinical chapters, read selectively according to your areas of interest, focusing on the details of the illustrated cases
- You may compare changes in your own palms while reading, but remain cautious and avoid excessive self-diagnosis

About the author
Wang Dong is a Chinese author whose works span a notably wide range of subjects. Public information about him is limited, and no clear record of his birth and death dates, nationality, or educational background is available. The library holds nine of his works, covering categories such as history, computer science, industrial technology, military affairs, medicine, and examination preparation. Among them, The Origins of the Boxer Movement reflects his interest in historical writing; Hacker Attack and Defense from Beginner to Mastery (Web Technology Practical Edition) and Network Technology and Its Applications address practical computing skills; Research on Real-Time Auxiliary Decision-Making Methods for Intelligent Air Combat and Target Recognition for Intelligent Air Combat Confrontation Training focus on military intelligentization; and Palm Diagnosis, The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: The Marvelous Art of Inspection, and the two-volume face-diagnosis collection are popular readings on traditional Chinese medical inspection and health. His writing combines academic, practical, and popular-science approaches, with readership varying by category.
Chang Hong is a Chinese author of health-related books about whom limited public information is available. Five of her works can currently be found, focusing on everyday wellness methods from traditional Chinese medicine, such as facial diagnosis, hand diagnosis, and umbilical therapy. Her representative titles include Hand Diagnosis, Huangdi Neijing: The Art of Facial Diagnosis, the two-volume Look at the Face to Detect Illness series, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Without Medicine: Treating Illness by Applying Remedies to the Navel. Another title, Love to Belly Dance, shows that her interests also extend to exercise and social culture. Judging from these works, Chang Hong writes for a general readership, translating traditional diagnostic and health-preserving knowledge into simple observations and practices that ordinary readers can follow. Because public information is limited, details of her background, professional training, and nationality cannot be confirmed, and her books are best regarded as popular health reading rather than specialist medical works.
