In ancient times, there was no fingerprint recognition, so why did you have to press your fingerprin

As we all know, modern fingerprint recognition technology plays its unique role in many aspects such as screen unlocking, verifying personal identity, and more. Tracing back to history, although ancient science and technology were not as developed as they are now, the ancient Chinese have realized that everyone's fingerprints are different, which can be used as a way to solve crimes, identify individuals, and replace signatures with fingerprints. In Qin Jian's "Sealed Diagnosis of Cave Thieves", it is written: "There are knees, handwritings, knees and hands in the inner and outer soil of the acupoints.

The meaning of this sentence is that the hands and wrists of the tomb robber are different from ordinary people, and they will leave the mark of their hand when robbing the tomb. It can be seen that as early as the Qin Dynasty, handprints were used to solve cases, and handprints became the key evidence for solving cases.

In ancient times, another function of mudras was to identify individuals. As early as the Song Dynasty, in a "History of the Song Dynasty - The Biography of Yuan Jiang", it was recorded that local departments would collect the fingerprints of ordinary people from door to door. In this way, no matter when people go to the first place and need to verify their identity, they can obtain fingerprint information from the place of household registration to determine personal information.

No matter how a person's appearance changes, fingerprints never change.

In ancient times, although there were many people who read books, like ordinary commoners and women in their families, because of the influence of family conditions and feudal ideas, they did not read and write, resulting in a lot of illiteracy in ancient times. They can't even write their own names, which seriously affects the management of society by those in power. So they came up with a way to use handprints instead of signatures, which improved the efficiency of work and made the lives of ordinary people easier.

Although ancient handprints are rarely used in modern life today, modern people are associated with fingerprints with the help of certain auxiliary tools, so as to achieve the role of identifying individuals. The ancient mudras, although not so accurate, are also a testament to the wisdom of the ancients. Moreover, it was not until the end of the 18th century that fingerprint recognition appeared in Britain, which shows that there were still advanced ideas in ancient China.

At that time, fingerprints were correctly classified according to form and structure, and this classification feature and knowledge were applied to social practice. In ancient society, because there were relatively few literate people, most of them belonged to the elite class, so they had to put their fingerprints on the contracts in which ordinary people participated.

Because as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, some people discovered and knew that everyone's fingerprints were different, so the fingerprints were used for confidentiality-related work, which was almost the same as today's fingerprint recognition, but at that time, it was confirmed by the human eye.

In fact, fingerprint identification technology has been available in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Qin Dynasty, the ancients could already rely on fingerprints to judge cases, and China's fingerprint technology is more than 1,000 years earlier than that of Western countries.

In fact, this is an application of the ancients to use fingerprints to identify people's identities. In ancient times, there were many people with a low level of education, and some people could not write their names. So basically, the only way to draw a bond is to use the palm of your hand or your fingers to press the palm print or fingerprint.

In ancient times, people would compare two fingerprints to observe, whether the lines on the official fingerprints are the same as those of the person, if they are the same, it means that the fingerprints are his, if they are different, there is another person.

Fingerprinting is a sign of integrity and a way to avoid making mistakes. After the fingerprint is pressed, although there is not as much fingerprint recognition as it is now, there are still many ways to distinguish the difference between fingerprints and determine the specific person.

1 At that time, due to the limitations of education, many people could not even write their own names, so when they signed and signed, they could only draw a cross or circle on the note, which was considered to be a signature.

2 By the time of the Song Dynasty, fingerprint technology was already very mature, and it is worth mentioning that the earliest fingerprint system also appeared in the Song Dynasty.

In ancient times, although there was no fingerprint reader, it was already possible to identify fingerprints in a special way, which can actually bring a kind of psychological pressure to the parties who press the fingerprints.

Although there was no fingerprint recognition in ancient times, the ancients were also very smart, a person's appearance may change, but fingerprints cannot be changed, and most people in ancient times still did not read, and their names were not good at writing, so doing anything is the best way to press the handprint.

Everyone's fingerprint is different, and pressing the fingerprint is the same as the current fingerprint recognition, and in ancient times, the person could also be identified according to the fingerprint.

In ancient times, there was no fingerprint recognition technology, but in ancient times, there was fingerprint comparison technology. In ancient times, there was already a relatively mature fingerprint comparison technology, so it was necessary to press the fingerprint.

Because to confirm the identity. Beware of someone impersonating. It's just a ritual so that those villains can't take advantage of the opportunity to fake.

Because people in ancient times used the naked eye to compare whether the texture of two fingerprints is the same, if it is the same as the fingerprint of the person, it proves that the fingerprint is his, if it is different, there will be another person.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, the ancients have discovered the uniqueness of fingerprints, although the technology is backward, but the ancients are good at observing, they found that there are certain differences in each person's fingerprints, so the fingerprints pressed by the fingerprints can also be identified, from a long time ago, there are also people through the fingerprints to solve the case.

It means that the criminal agrees with the facts of his crime and confesses. The fingerprint is also used by the prisoner to prove that it is himself, because there is not so advanced fingerprint recognition.

In ancient times, it was common to have its own palm prints or fingerprint prints on the title deed and house deed. In the pre-Qin era, it was generally used as a seal for confidential documents, and the fingerprint was glued to the seal with clay, if the soil was destroyed, it means that the confidential document has been leaked. In the later Song Dynasty, if the fingerprints taken at the crime scene could completely coincide with the suspect's fingerprints, it meant that he was the perpetrator, and if not, there were other people.

This is the use of fingerprint recognition.

In fact, everyone knows that people's fingerprints generally do not change, so in ancient times, people would compare two fingerprints to observe, whether the lines on the official fingerprints are the same as their own lines, if they are the same, it means that the fingerprints are his, if they are different, there is another person.

In ancient times, there was already the application of fingerprints, but at that time there was no technology to identify fingerprints, so how did the ancients identify fingerprints? The process of bending and wrinkling fluctuates with the change of the upper pressure generated by the inner tissue, forming uneven ridges or folds until the development process is stopped, and finally it is fixed as a fingerprint that will not change until death. Everyone knows that everyone's fingerprints are different and will not change, so in ancient times, people would compare whether the texture of the two fingerprints is the same, if it is the same as their own fingerprint pattern, it proves that the fingerprint is his, if it is different, there will be another person.

Because in ancient times, there were very few literate people, so most people's education level was very low, and many people could not write their own names, so many of them were fingerprints or fingerprints, so they needed to press fingerprints.

Fingerprint unlocking has been transported to every aspect of modern life. According to archaeological confirmation, a piece of ritual from the Zhou Dynasty in China is clearly printed with a thumb print. The following findings further confirmed the use of fingerprint recognition in ancient China.

The ancients found that everyone's fingerprints are different, fingerprints will change throughout their lives, if the finger is injured, it will cause the fingerprint to be missing or blurred, but after the wound heals, the fingerprint is still unchanged, so the fingerprint can be used as evidence of personal identity. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was also a fierce fight book, which can be said to be the earliest fingerprint registration system in China, and every ordinary person on the household registration left fingerprints under the corresponding entry.

Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, the use of fingerprints to investigate cases reached a new height, and at the same time, fingerprint fraud also kept up. Let's talk about the case here, according to the records of the Song Dynasty, the paper with Zhou's mother's handprint falsified the weather, and Zhou's mother found out and sued the county yamen and the state yamen, but they were all rejected, because the case-handling personnel checked that the handprint was indeed the state pastor's. The craftsman and the county official, after careful inspection, found a flaw in it, which made the bully obediently admit his guilt.

Nowadays, many Tang Dynasty contracts have been unearthed, and there are handprints, knuckle patterns or palm prints at the end, and there are many handprints marked in various calligraphy and painting works. Because in ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to get a good education, and the opportunity to get an education was often held by the ruling class. Therefore, in ancient societies, in order to give a certain legal effect to the IOU of a contract, both parties were required to press their fingerprints.

Because of the lack of note-taking identification technology in ancient times, many literati and writers liked to imitate them, so handprints became the main physical evidence basis for the Yamen to hear economic dispute cases.

Therefore, fingerprint recognition is not the crystallization of modern scientific and technological wisdom, but has been used by our ancestors for a long time, describing the wisdom of the ancients, there is a big difference between the ancient handprint and the modern handprint, the ancient is limited to no requirements, sometimes there can be one or two joints, and even the ear line of the entire handprint must be used according to the fingerprint purple regulations.

In order to get the other party to admit their crimes by pressing their fingerprints, it is also to make the other party admit what they have done.

Because the mudra is unique, it is difficult to forge, and in ancient times it could be identified by observation, so the mudra was also pressed.

The ancients did not create something out of nothing, but after long-term observation and verification, they found that everyone's fingerprints are different and unchanged, unless the hand is injured or irreversibly damaged. Therefore, if the mudra is pressed, it can serve as an important proof of the ancient social contract.

In ancient times, it was necessary to press the signature on the contract, document, and confession to agree to the content. But at that time, many people were illiterate and could not write, so they came up with many ways to replace signatures, such as pressing their index fingers on contracts and replacing themselves with fingerprints. In the Tang Dynasty, most of the illiterate people drew their own finger seals under their names as a basis.

The use of handprints and fingerprints as physical evidence only became popular in the Song and Yuan dynasties. At that time, when people made major transactions or decisions, they had to sign contracts or documents. A more standardized contract generally requires the signature of both parties, and the guarantor must be present.

If you are illiterate, you can call an acquaintance who will come to help you with your **name. However, the fingerprint or knuckle under the name must be your own. At that time, the ** people often tried cases, and they were quite experienced in identifying the handprint, and it was easy to identify whether the handprint belonged to this person and whether the contract was forged.

China is the first country to use fingerprints to identify individuals, and fingerprints were also widely used in written contracts in ancient times, as well as in criminal proceedings, traditional Chinese medicine and palmistry divination. The degree of fingerprint density will be different for people of different ages, with juvenile fingerprints being sparse and adults being dense. Pan Ze of the Yuan Dynasty judged that the owner of the fingerprint was not of the right age by observing the texture and density of the fingerprint printed on a contract document, and then found that the contract was forged.

Therefore, although the level of fingerprint recognition in ancient times has not reached the current height, it is still not feasible to encounter experienced ** and want to cheat or forge it. However, in ancient times, not all contracts had to be handprinted. Most of them are still based on signatures and paintings, and only when the parties can't write and find someone else's ** it is popular to press the handprint.

In addition, the ancient people were more superstitious and believed that there were gods who raised their heads three feet, so they had to keep the covenant when they pressed the mudra, otherwise they would be retributed, so many people would not easily break the contract.

The so-called fingerprint is the predecessor of fingerprint recognition. Although the technology of ancient times was not advanced enough, the ancients already had a little understanding of fingerprints and used related handprints to solve crimes.

In fact, it serves as a warning. A lot of people are still very scared. They always feel that the fingerprint can be legally enforced.

Although there was no fingerprint recognition technology at that time, it was still meaningful to press the fingerprint, and it was possible to have an approximate comparison.

In ancient times, there was no fingerprint recognition technology, so why do you have to press your fingerprints?

First of all, it is true that there was no DNA technology in ancient times, but from the shape of fingerprints.

Look, the fingerprints of the two people have an intrinsic difference. You can do an experiment with your family and you can see the difference in fingerprints with the naked eye. At that time, there was no concept of probability, and until modern times, the probability of the same fingerprint according to DNA statistics was about 1 in 100,000.

In ancient times, there were not hundreds of houses in a town, and basically everyone's fingerprints were different, so the answer they gave was that everyone in the world had different fingerprints. That's why there is a sign and a charge. Also, you may have watched imitation of other people's signatures from TV dramas, but you can practice it with your family, and you have to practice at least tens of thousands of times to learn to sign words, let alone write a 100-character letter to achieve exactly the same, which is very difficult.

Therefore, fingerprints are the most effective, and until modern times, fingerprints have been used, and sometimes even fingerprints can be distinguished with the naked eye.
