Grasping Zhou, a traditional custom in China, is now a custom in East Asian countries, which predicts the future of a baby when the child is one year old. When the newborn is one year old, all kinds of things are placed in front of the child and let him grab them. Traditionally, commonly used items are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books and so on.
