　　Like the face, the features of the hand are tools of the fortune-teller. The key factors are the size and shape of the mounts, or raised parts of the palm, and the valleys between them. A palmist also looks at the shape of the fingertips and nails. Rounded fingertips, for instance, suggest a lively personality.

　　和臉一樣，手的特征也是算命師的工具，其中的關鍵因素是“掌丘”，也就是手掌隆起的部分，以及介于之間的低陷部份的大小和形狀。手相師也看指尖和指甲的形狀。比如，指尖渾圓代表個性活潑。

Other methods of prediction include analyzing the characters and numbers in a person's name.

　　在中國，掌紋只是用來預測命運的線索之一。對算命師來說，臉部特征是一個人個性的表征，并可借此評估一個人的未來。其它的算命方法還包括分析名字的用字和筆畫。
