Fuxi's original "Eight Diagrams" is a mathematical symbol. Why did you become a fortune teller?

Divination metaphysics has a long history in China, and its origin can be traced back to Fu. After Zhou Wenwang played gossip, fortune-telling began to develop gradually, and the specific development process was relatively long, with each generation contributing more or less.

"Fortune-telling" is a method to predict the changing law of life trajectory by applying the principle of "the unity of man and nature" in China's traditional Yi-ology culture. Astrologers arrange the "year, month, day and hour" of a person's birth into four pillars and eight characters in turn according to heavenly stems and earthly branches (called "four pillars and eight characters"), and then use the five elements of the arranged branches to calculate a person's fate and decide his good or bad luck.

According to the Voice of China News Night, fortune-telling may have started in the pre-Qin period. When the ancient Egyptians took notes with papyrus paper and the Babylonians made books with clay tablets, the ancient people in China cut bamboo into strips, thinned and polished it, baked it with fire, and wrote the most vivid historical facts on bamboo slips, which were handed down to future generations. According to legend, it began in the Tang Dynasty with Li, a famous guiguzi.

Tang Hanyu's "Epitaph of Li Jun, the Imperial Commissioner in the Temple": "Li Jun's name is empty, and the five elements are the deepest in the book. It is based on a person's date of birth, and it is better for the other person to die than for the king. It is not good to consider the promotion of life. Speaking of the first year, it's absolutely safe.

The formation of "four pillars of year, month, day and time" began in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, the pillars were the main ones, and the life was based on the year of birth, supplemented by Yin Nafa. In the Tang Dynasty, Li changed it to year-based and used four pillars: year, month, day and hour. In the Five Dynasties, Xu Ziping changed to regard Japan as my (Japanese master), and took the restraint of the five elements between the four pillars and the intersection of punishment and punishment as the essence of life.

China culture is extensive and profound. As far as fortune telling is concerned, it is the crystallization of wisdom summed up by the ancients after years of practice. The theoretical system is complex and profound. Most people may never understand it, but now some "masters" in society not only think they have realized it, but also love to invent and create new fortune-telling academics.

For thousands of years, the recognized numerology masters in later generations only explained the original theory and did not invent anything new. This shows that the classical theory has its rigorous rationality, and it is not easy to invent and create new theories. However, "invention" is as easy as eating lettuce for some "masters" now. In just over ten years, newly invented fortune-telling skills abound.
