Finger-pointing praise is one of the traditional expressions of ancient China literature and art. It means that when reading or hearing someone recite an excellent poem or article in their mind, they use their thumb and middle finger to form a semicircle, extend their forefinger vertically upwards, and tap their forefinger lightly to express their admiration and appreciation.

The action of pointing and praising is sometimes called "according to luck". In ancient literature and art, "pointing fingers and praising" is mostly used for praise, encouragement and admiration, and it is also a courtesy expression, expressing admiration and respect for the speaker and his rhetoric. Although the formal expression of "pointing fingers and praising" is rarely seen in many occasions, it is still a traditional element in Chinese culture, which embodies the unique aesthetic spirit and custom style of the Chinese nation.
