美祿紋 · Měilù-wén ("fine salary pattern")
Also called: Mei lu wen · Beautiful salary mark · Woman-character pattern · 女字紋
Where on the hand: In the central Ming Tang, the Dui palace (Upper Mars), the Kun palace (Apollo–Mercury) or the Gen palace (Mount of Venus).
What it looks like: A figure shaped like the Chinese character 女 — a short stroke sweeping down-left, crossed by a second stroke sweeping down-right, with a horizontal bar drawn through both, so that the whole resembles a small standing figure with outstretched arms.
Read as exceptional popularity combined with material comfort: 'fine relations with everyone, fortune and salary both complete, and wealth to spare'. It is one of the six classic 富貴紋 or nobility-and-wealth patterns of Chinese palmistry.
Read with care: Correction: the four per-palace sub-readings are not in the source, which gives one meaning across all four palaces. They were produced by back-projecting trigram meanings. PROVENANCE. This term is genuine and circulating in Chinese palmistry, but it could not be traced past two modern Chinese listicles ('六種富貴紋' and '九大掌紋') that propagate across content sites. No classical attestation was found. Direct access to 神相全編 and 古今圖書集成 was blocked, so this is 'not established' rather than 'not classical'.
