Taiyuan fortune teller Xiaobai

Fortune telling is similar to feng shui. Are they all calculated according to the Book of Changes?

There is still a difference between fortune telling and feng shui. Fortune-telling refers to calculating a person's fate and fortune through certain laws.

Feng shui, on the other hand, is more extensive. Simply put, it refers to the environmental theory of houses, houses or graves.

Fortune-telling and geomantic calculations are based on the Book of Changes. Zhouyi is a very rigorous reasoning philosophy. In Zhouyi, the theory of geomantic omen studies laws, and many laws, such as the laws of five elements and yin and yang, are naturally derived from the study of the environment.

The study of Zhouyi divides Zhouyi into two kinds, one is reason, and the other is technique. Reason refers to what is explained to everyone, which makes people understand and educate. Skill refers to the method and way of reasoning, and it is a tool for how to operate the process.

This "technique" includes medical skills, physiognomy, geomantic omen, prediction and many other techniques, all of which are one of them.

The prediction mentioned here includes fortune-telling theory, and there are many prediction methods, such as eight-character prediction, magical prediction of Taoism, six-hexagram prediction, Wei Zi's doodle, Great Liu Ren, iron plate divinity, plum blossom divinity, Taiyi divinity and so on. Among them, the well-known non-eight-character prediction is none other than non-eight-character prediction. Generally speaking, in China, from south to north, almost many people know the eight-character prediction, weddings and funerals, and other customs, and they also use the eight-character prediction, so it is most valued by people and accepted by many people.

feng shui

We are familiar with geomantic omen, which is a series of theories about how to choose and deal with the location, orientation and layout of the house of Yang and the house of Yin. It is an art of choosing living environment.

Generally speaking, fortune-telling and geomantic omen are all "techniques" in Zhouyi, which are derived from summing up nature, and then by calculating in this way, we can infer whether the numerology and existence position of people or things conform to nature and match it with nature. This is the wisdom summed up by our country for thousands of years and has little to do with ghosts and gods.
