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.
和脸一样，手的特征也是算命师的工具，其中的关键因素是“掌丘”，也就是手掌隆起的部分，以及介于之间的低陷部份的大小和形状。手相师也看指尖和指甲的形状。比如，指尖浑圆代表个性活泼。
