What does divination mean?

Divination refers to understanding the truth of everything in the universe through the media and predicting future behavior based on the relationship between micro and macro.

Primitive people lacked sufficient knowledge of the development of things, so they used natural signs to show their actions. However, natural signs are not common and must be tested manually, so the method of divination came into being. Divination is to inquire what you want to know from the movement and change of external things to non-human spiritual bodies. It is different from prophecy, because there are usually ambiguous answers, so that the occupier can find a reasonable explanation.

If you want to do something with fortune telling, fortune telling has ritual or social characteristics, usually related to religion; Relatively speaking, fortune telling is mostly a daily activity for personal service. Divination is often questioned, but it is only a superstition. But advocates will say that there are many anecdotes to prove the effectiveness of divination.
