Like the Indians, Chinese palmists used symbols to aid in their interpretation of a person's hand. These symbols originate from several different schools of Chinese palmistry, with only some of these symbols having been recorded on ancient manuscripts that have survived China's turbulent past. This book attempts to catalogue the known symbols that have been used in Chinese palmistry through its antiquity. This book contains some Chinese symbols that were known to their Indian counterparts and are identical in shape and meaning. There are also some symbols which are uniquely Chinese that have evolved indigenously within China.

This book also uses the Trigrams to aid in the Feng Shui interpretation of an individual's home through palmistry. It teaches how to use Chinese Palmistry Symbols to make accurate Feng Shui predictions and remedies around a person's home and environment to better their lives.
