Part of the reason for wearing a ring on the ring finger comes from Western romantic legends, and the ring finger represents the lover who will always accompany each other. At the same time, wearing a ring on the ring finger is also convenient for daily life.
Why is a ring worn on the ring finger
1. Romantic Legend
Legend has it that on our left ring finger, there is a blood vessel directly connected to the heart. For lifelong lovers, wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger signifies mutual affection and understanding.
2. Ring finger represents lover
When we close our hands and bend our middle fingers with their backs facing each other, we can freely open our thumb, index finger, and little finger, but we cannot open our ring finger. So people think that this is just a symbol that in our long life, parents, brothers (sisters) and children will slowly leave, but lovers will not.
3. Convenient life
For most people, the right hand is the most commonly used hand, and the left hand has much less to do. Among the five fingers, the thumb and index finger have the highest frequency of use, followed by the other fingers. The ring finger is deeply protected by the middle finger and little finger, and is not needed for many things. Wearing a ring on this finger is not easy to lose or wear out.
The meaning of wearing rings on different fingers

3. Middle finger: represents that one already has a lover, even engaged.
