In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies (
with each other and saying: A pinkie ―
promise must be kept for 100 years. ‖Then, they may press their thumbs together to complete the promise.
Sometimes, couples will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.
There are many theories ( 推测 ) on the beginning of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme. Others say it was introduced from the West –born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.
One theory is may have something to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character
for ― finger also‖ means ― aim( 旨 ) ‖(referring to people ‘thoughts). So hooking fi ngers can be seen as the
exchanging of thoughts.
Therefore, the fingers play an important role in making an oath ( 盟约 ): they can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears ( 发誓 ) to heaven, they use their fingers to point to the sky.
Generally, hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some gangster ( 黑帮 ) movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut off!

A. where
― hooking pinkies ‖ first came from
