The legend of the red thread

Unmei no Akai ito is an oriental legend of the red thread of love, of Chinese origin, this legend became popular in Japan thousands of years ago.

You know that feeling of instant affinity with a person? This nostalgic and familiar feeling is explained by several beliefs.

According to the legend of the red thread, at birth, the gods tie a red thread to the little finger of two people, connected to each other. The thread is tied to this finger because it is through it that the ulnar artery, which is connected to the heart, passes.

The myth tells the story of a young man named Wei. After being orphaned as a child, Wei wanted to get married and have a big family, but as an adult he was unable to achieve this goal.

During a trip he met an elderly man who revealed to him that he was the God of marriages. This God explained to him that his wife was still a 3-year-old girl and that Wei would have to wait another 14 years before meeting her. The old man carried with him a bag with the thread of destiny inside, an invisible red thread that could not be cut. When two people are linked by this thread, they are destined to meet and get married.

14 years later, Wei cmet a beautiful girl and married her. It was the girl that God had told him about marriage. The two realized the strength of destiny and loved each other forever.

The red thread is invisible, unbreakable, infinite, it can get tangled and even tangle, but it never breaks. Two soul mates, guided by destiny through the red thread, are destined to meet and get married.

The legend of the red thread says that:

“It doesn’t matter the time or the distance, nor the circumstances that may happen along the way. In the end, the ends will meet and experience the full happiness that destiny has in store.”

This thread of fate legend has inspired countless comics (manga), films and TV shows in Japan.

It’s just a legend. No one will ever know if people are destined to live together because they have common past lives or because they are linked by a red thread.

Everyone has their own belief but the truth is that the loving – and reciprocal – encounter between two people is always a magical moment and a gift in life.
