What does fortune-telling river _ fortune-telling river life mean?

About the origin of eight-character fortune telling, it is generally believed that it originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The related cultural factors are Yin-Yang and Five Elements, heavenly stems and earthly branches.

From the end of the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements gradually unified everything and brought various cultures into its framework, which provided a theoretical basis for the emergence of eight-character fortune telling. Heavenly stems and earthly branches was born in Xia and Shang Dynasties, and Tiangan was originally used to mark the day, which was called the tenth day. The earthly branch is called the Twelve Immortals. The name heavenly stems and earthly branches was only determined in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Shang dynasty combined these two dates, from Jiazi to Guihai, a total of 60 days. The chronology of cadres and branches began in the thirty years of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 54). Yue Ji and Ji were late, about the Tang Dynasty. In the first 30 years of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the main branch was limited to the date. After being applied to the calendar, there are four words in the eight characters. A few decades later, Ban Gu's White Tiger Yi Tong mentioned that someone inferred numerology from dry branches. Since then, Guan Ju of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Tao Hongjing of the Southern and Northern Dynasties have all studied and supplemented fortune telling. But the theory is rough, the method is simple, the scope is narrow, and it has not multiplied.

Li in the Tang Dynasty was proficient in Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and could infer the good and bad luck of a person's life according to the date of birth. Some people say "102". On this basis, Xu Ziping in the Five Dynasties and the Early Song Dynasty evolved into the eight-character four-column method, so it was also called "eight-character".

It can be seen that the eight-character fortune-telling was always restricted by the application of this factor during the Ganzhi period from initiation to finalization. Later, Xu Zisheng's Yuan Hai Zi Ping came out, which is one of the important books in the history of eight-character fortune telling. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, eight-character fortune-telling became more popular and popular in the ruling and opposition circles. A series of numerology books came into being. Representative works in Song Dynasty, such as Tiansui Dilou, written by Liu Ji in Ming Dynasty, Sanyuanhui, Shenfeng Tongkao, Ziping Zhenjie by Shen Xiaozhan in Qing Dynasty, The Word of Numerology by Chen Su 'an and the Origin of Numerology in modern times.

In short, when a person is born, the arrangement and combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches (that is, eight characters) is fate. However, it is impossible to calculate your good or bad luck with only eight branches. Therefore, heavenly stems and earthly branches has the attributes of yin and yang and five elements, and has the relationship of mutual development and mutual restriction. And derived from punishment, impulse, injury, combination and other relationships. In addition, combined with the four seasons and five directions, it is sunny day and night to piece together a fortune-telling system. The relationship between life and punishment is also called positive printing and partial printing, which hurts officials, eats gods, favors officials, is rich and partial, and plunders wealth, and is collectively called "Ten Gods". Another important concept of horoscope fortune telling is luck. Life focuses on relatively stable life content, such as wealth, and luck focuses on dynamic life problems, such as good or bad luck, which is usually called fate. Luck includes great luck, small luck and fleeting time. Generally speaking, luck begins with birthdays, and boys and girls are born in the year of the sun and the year of the moon, combining solar terms and months. Time flies, also known as Tai Sui, is calculated according to the stem and branches of every year after birth.

Besides life and luck, there are some concepts, such as evil spirit, Yin Na's five elements, fetus and the palace of life. The so-called evil is to fix some combinations between certain branches into formats, and once these formats appear in people's eight characters, they are called some evil. God is a symbol of good luck, but evil spirits are a symbol of bad luck. For example, Ji Shen's "Wenchang Guiren" is smart and elegant; The fierce "yin-yang fault" made the main marriage not smooth. Because the names of some evil spirits sound mysterious, they are often used by charlatans to scare people and cheat money. In front of the fortune-telling booth, people often report the date of birth, and fortune-tellers will tell them that life is gold or wood, which involves Yin Na's five elements. Early numerology only used five elements, and Yin Na was an ancient phonology introduced later, and its foundation was also five elements. Fetal element refers to the month when a person is pregnant, and life palace refers to the place where life lives.

Eight-character fortune-telling is based on the above concepts, mainly based on the relationship between the sun Lord and the four pillars and branches, combined with the restraint of the Universiade and the fleeting branch, and referring to the situation of the Universiade, evil spirits, happiness, pregnancy and life palace, to infer various situations of life. Third, false absurdity If a word is used to summarize the characteristics of the eight-character fortune-telling theory, it is specious. It is said to be "specious" because this theory often contains feudal thinking and exploration of the fate of life, adopts a lot of knowledge of ancient natural philosophy, and adds complex deduction, which sounds very logical. Don't say that ordinary people are easy to blindly believe. Even people with a considerable level of education can't tell the difference between true and false without special research.

Eight-character fortune-telling infers fate with eight characters, which are the same but different in fate. They have the same fate in thirteen aspects: orientation, parents' year, siblings' year, spouse's year, number and year of children, men and women, facial fingerprints, physiognomy, ancestral graves, heredity, social and family environment, star on duty, and religious belief or not!

Eight-character fortune telling is the concrete application of these theories, and it is also the reflection of China's traditional philosophy of the relationship between man and nature. Two thousand years ago, Sima Qian put forward the problem of "the time between man and nature". After the Han Dynasty, the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements was gradually formed to explain the relationship and changes of various things in the world. The theory of yin-yang and five elements is an ideological system that expresses the laws of natural and social evolution, and holds that the occurrence and development of everything in the world are related to yin-yang and five elements.

Yin-yang theory holds that everything in the universe can be divided into two categories, namely negative things and positive things; Everything has two sides, namely, the negative side and the positive side; The formation, change and development of all things are the result of alternating changes of yin and yang.

According to the Five Elements Theory, the world consists of five basic elements (namely, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth), and the five elements are the driving force of world change, and things develop and change with the five elements.

Then, as a member of nature, people's ups and downs of life and death are naturally influenced and influenced by themselves and the five elements of yin and yang in nature. This is also the concrete expression of China's philosophy of "the unity of man and nature". "The five elements of metaplasia become everything, which is infinite and unpredictable. Saints legislate to push their lives, and they can't escape. " (Wanmin English. Jiajing Jinshi, same as GT; Heavenly stems and earthly branches was invented by China people to calculate calendars, that is, to indicate time. Later, heavenly stems and earthly branches was endowed with the meanings of yin and yang and five elements, as well as the meanings of punishment, impulsiveness, injury and combination. Heavenly stems and earthly branches, the year, month, day and hour when a person was born, formed a person's eight-character life, and found that the eight-character life was directly related to his fate. Modern holographic theory holds that all celestial movements will affect life on earth to varying degrees, thus leaving all its information in life on earth. Among all kinds of complicated motions of celestial bodies in the universe, the motions of the sun and the moon have the greatest influence on life on earth. The best example of the moon's influence on people is the timeliness of women's menstruation. Most women's menstruation is around the first day of the first lunar month, and ovulation is around the fifteenth lunar month.

Modern science has proved that human beings and nature are closely related.
