Where did fortune telling originate? Is it a branch of Taoism? Does the Taoist priest care if someone deceives people with fortune telling? Ask someone for advice.

Metaphysics, such as fortune telling and astrology, has a long history and various methods, which are the products of human anxiety about the uncertainty of their own destiny. Before Taoism appeared, even tens of thousands of years ago, matriarchal clan society appeared, covering all continents. It is a knowledge that integrates demography, psychology and methodology. Most wise elders in the clan inherit this knowledge as priests to solve difficult problems in people's lives. There are constellation theory and crystal ball divination abroad, while metaphysics distributed in China has been summarized and innovated by many generations of wise men, forming a formal theoretical system-the Book of Changes (Lianshan Yi, Gui Zang Yi, Zhouyi), which is mainly inherited by Taoism and believed by the royal family, but there are also other branches of folk methods, which have not disappeared because of "unorthodox". The Book of Changes is not only a divination book, but also a life guide. "Those who are good at the Book of Changes do not anticipate" means that those who have mastered the knowledge of the Book of Changes can know the direction of things, find their own direction in life and eliminate uncertainty without divination. Zhuge Liang once proudly said, "whoever dreams first, I will know it all my life." Of course, if we can't reach this level, people still like to solve their doubts through divination. Because there are too many "customers", there are also many fake and shoddy guys in the fortune-telling industry. Just as there are always many people counterfeiting famous brand products, it does not hinder the objective fact that the real goods exist. People who swindle and cheat simply violate the right path of the Book of Changes. Taoism can't control them because they are not under the jurisdiction of Taoism in organization. If you are cheated in the scenic spot, then go to the scenic spot management office to complain. If you are cheated at home, call the police.
