Shaxi town fortune teller.

Ancestors believed in fortune telling, and geomantic omen was caused by many reasons. First of all, at that time, the level of productivity was very low, and people's cognitive level and cultural popularization were also very low. In modern society, people can understand the scientific principles when they see natural phenomena such as thunder, meteor and solar eclipse, because they have learned from textbooks or the popularization of scientific knowledge. Most of the phenomena in nature at that time were unknown to their ancestors and could only be explained in a non-scientific way. When they encounter dangerous natural disasters, such as earthquakes, mudslides and floods, they will only be more at a loss, and they can only believe in fate and that all this is God.

Secondly, people at that time had very limited control over their own destiny, and they pinned part of their beliefs on the unknown. In modern society, when we are sick, we know that there is something wrong with our body, and we know that we have the conditions to plan our life according to our own conditions and interests, but it is very difficult for an old friend. At that time, people lived and died, and personal development also changed. Due to the backward scientific medical technology and cognitive level, they can only believe that this is fate. Out of fear of the unknown future, many people choose to pin their confidence on "mysterious" means, hoping to avoid disasters and accidents according to the instructions of fortune tellers or feng shui masters.

Thirdly, although on the surface, fortune telling and geomantic omen are superstitious, they also have their own logic. When it comes to geomantic omen, many people think it is superstition in modern times, but some concepts are also desirable. For example, in home design, Feng Shui believes that it is unhealthy for the door to face the toilet. In fact, there is some truth. If the humid and dirty air in the toilet can't circulate, it will blow to the human body all the year round, which will easily make people sick.

In addition, there is always a certain probability that fortune-telling can be correct. Did people see it? Is it accurate? In the case of, will tend to trust these things.
