Fashionable fortune telling

Is birth a scientific, superstitious or deceptive prediction of human destiny?

To understand this problem, we must first understand all the tools and theoretical basis of eight-character fortune telling.

2. The law of movement and change of matter (please refer to the scientific principle of Yin-Yang theory and the new explanation of five elements)

3. The concept of time and space-the relationship between time, matter and space.

1. theoretical basis: its theoretical basis is the combined harm of cadres and branches, the combined harm of yin and yang, and the punishment of cadres and branches; Jin Mu's restraint of fire, water and earth in the Five Elements. That is, the year, month, day and hour of a person's birth, with heavenly stems (A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Ke, Xin, Ren, Gui) and earthly branches (Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Gui). It is a method used to deduce the good fortune and bad fortune in the whole life movement from birth to death, and it can also be compared to a storage and receiver of information. Why is it also called four pillars? Because people who live on the earth are standing on the ground, just like a pillar of indomitable spirit, and year, month, day and hour represent four generations of ancestors, parents, couples and children respectively. So it's called four pillars.

Tools used: Lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is ephemeris (or perpetual calendar, imperial calendar, lunar calendar, etc. Ephemeris is a calendar made by China in ancient times to develop agricultural production and improve the living standards of working people through long-term "looking up and looking down", thus guiding agricultural production.

So where did heavenly stems and earthly branches come from? Simply put, trunks and branches are ancient time symbols.

To understand the above problems, let's first look at how the ancients formulated the lunar calendar.

Because the calendar is based on the bucket handle of the Big Dipper, twelve dates (namely, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai), this is the earliest ephemeris in China. In the emperor's time, the ancient ephemeris was revised. "Gaidi studied ephemeris and built five elements to get news, so he has the official of heaven and earth, which is called the five senses." This passage quoted from "Historical Records" Volume 26 "Almanac IV" means that the ephemeris before the emperor was not perfect. In the emperor's period, the emperor began to re-examine the original ephemeris, and established Jin Mu's five elements of fire, water and soil, plus twelve, ugliness, yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen and Tu. The five senses of gold, wood, water, fire and earth were established, and each of them performed its duties and formulated a new calendar. This is the combination of yin and yang. Xuanyuan in March is also called the Yellow Emperor's tortoise shell calendar (referred to as the imperial calendar).

Let's see how the ancients made calendars based on the bucket handle of the Big Dipper.

"The Big Dipper, the so-called' rotating jade scale, with Zheng'." The dragon horn holds the handle, the dragon fights in the south of Yin, and the pillow comes first. Use the handle of the fuzzy generator. The handle was built in the southwest of Huashan, and the balance was built in the middle of the night. It lies between the river and the economy in the middle of Yin Dynasty. The early builder was the chief, and the chief was the northeast of Haidai. The bucket is the emperor's car, which is transported to the central government, supervises the four townships, divides the yin and yang, builds the four seasons, moves the festival and sets the discipline, and is based on the bucket. -quoted from the historical records, tiangong biographies, volume 27, the fifth.

The Big Dipper outside the right wall of Wei Zi is the hub of the sun, the moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and also the source of the strength of Yin and Yang. The Book of History says: "Rebel against balance, with Zheng." The extension line of bucket handle is arcturus, the Dragon Horn of the Black Dragon in Dongyin Palace (note: the Horn Star is one of the 28 stars, guarding the four directions, and the Oriental Qinglong Seven Nights Horn Mujiao, Kang Jinlong, Nyctereute, Fangri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tail Fire Tiger and Water Leopard; Seven Nights in South Suzaku: Muan Jing, Ghost Golden Sheep, Swertia liutu, Stellar Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake and Lumbricus; Seven Nights in the West White Tiger: Kuimu Wolf, Loujin Dog, Belly Pheasant, Shili Chicken, Bi Yue Harrier, Gunfire Monkey; Seven nights in North Xuanwu: unicorn, Taurus, mother bat, rising sun mouse, dangerous moon swallow, indoor fire pig, stuffy wall water). Nandou can be seen in the south extension line of the connection between the two stars before and after Yuheng, and the four stars of Doukui extend northward along the handle, making it the first of Betelgeuse. After dusk, bucket handle refers to the position of the twelve earthly branches (Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai), which is the name of the month. The handle can also be divided (note: 1, identify the orientation: the space where the East, West, North and South and the Twelve Earthly Branches belong, and 2, determine the time sequence and intersection time). Bucket handle points to Huashan (You) and its southwest area, and the earth branch (azimuth) referred to by Midnight Yuheng is called midnight half-building (note: February is November of the lunar calendar), and Yuheng points to the area between Zhongzhou Yellow River and Jishui. Pingdan Doukui refers to the branch of the moon building that is flat, and the direction of the kui is Mao (East) Yin (Northeast). Dou, like a car rode by an emperor, runs in the center near the celestial pole (note: Dou is the emperor's car, which is transported in the center). According to the directions pointed by bucket handle at different times, four regions (note: Four townships are four directions, Oriental Chen; It's noon in the south; Xishen (ugly in the north), distinguish between day and night, determine the time sequence of spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the year, and twelve o'clock every day (day and night): Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. By using the natural law of the growth and decline of yin and yang and the twelve-letter hexagrams of the five elements (also known as twelve bi hexagrams and twelve Hou hexagrams), December and twenty-four solar terms are distinguished, thus further perfecting the calendar era. This method of making calendars mainly relies on the Big Dipper.

The above facts show that our ancestors have long known that the Big Dipper is the center of celestial bodies. By observing bucket handle's rotation, making calendars and establishing natural time series, it can be said that "observing the sky and doing everything possible". "There are nine wild days, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, bucket left-handed, once a day. A quarter repeats 365 degrees to become one year old. Dou refers to the "shooting stars" beside the corner of the Black Dragon Palace, which was created in the calendar for the purpose of "shooting stars". It is a period after 76 years old, and every 20th century is 1520 years old. The relative straight line of the meridian is two ropes (note: the two axes of longitude and latitude), and the ugly yin,,, and Yuhai are four hooks (four corners). " -Quoted from Huainanzi.

It can be seen that in ancient times, our ancestors realized that the universe was a complete organism. "This organism is centered on the ether and centered on the Beidou. For example, Taiyi is a generator and Beidou is a substation. If the ether is God's brain, Beidou is God's hand. Create everything in the universe and dominate the movement and evolution of planets. Therefore, we know that the ability of the universe has roots, centers of gravity, supreme power, organic organization and natural order. "

Conclusion: When making calendars, the ancients regarded the universe as a whole organism, and found the center in this organic whole, that is, taking the ether as the center, the Big Dipper as the hub, the sun and the moon as the essence of yin and yang, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water as the representatives of east, west, north and south, as well as everything; The twelve earthly branches are fixed in twelve directions, and their directions are as follows: With the twelve information hexagrams as measuring tools, we can infer the cold and warm changes and eight winds formed by the rise and fall of Yin and Yang built in December of one year.

Identity of matter, time and space

1, the unity of time and space (the same), such as the bucket refers to the "taking the stars" next to the corner of the Black Dragon Palace as "taking the pavilion", and the shade is set (that is, the first month), which is the beginning of a year in beginning of spring (the same day (3: 00-5: 00 Beijing time).

2. The unity of time and matter. Time is the manifestation of material movement and change, that is to say, material movement and change is the change of time, and conversely, material movement and change also changes with time. However, the movement and change of matter has its regularity and periodicity, so time must also have its periodicity. According to the ancient people's observation of the stars, time has a beginning and an end, but this starting point is relative and periodic. For example, the twelve months of a year begin with yin and end with ugliness (that is, the end of the first month of the lunar calendar, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December). From the perspective of a 24-hour day and night, it is the second day (23: 00-65438 Beijing time) So year after year, day after day, cycle after cycle, never stop.

3. The relationship between matter and space (region and orientation): that is, space is matter (the twelve branches represent time and matter). Because the ancients measured space and time according to the direction of bucket handle's rotation. It can be seen from this point that time (four seasons, twelve months, the number of days in a month, the change of day and night every day, twelve hours) is produced by the movement of the earth and stars (the change of material movement). However, as we all know, only matter can move. It can be said with certainty that the ancients used ten days to dry A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui; Twelve earthly branches, ugliness, yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai; Yin-yang and five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth) correctly and scientifically represent time, space and matter (trinity), which conforms to the laws of nature and is a natural science!

4. The generality of time and space:

That is, the result of the change of the movement of the universe (the autobiography and revolution of the earth around the sun) is infinitely extended. It has its regularity and periodicity. Such as spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round, alternating day and night, endless round trip.

5, narrow sense of time and space:

It is the result of the movement and change of all substances themselves. The world is made up of matter, which is constantly moving and changing. However, each substance has its own time and space, which changes with the movement of the substance itself. That is to say, the time and space of matter itself exists with the existence of matter and disappears with the disappearance of matter (disappearance is relative, and the constant movement of matter is absolute). That is, the narrow sense of time and space (the time and space of matter itself) has a starting point and an end point, but the starting point and the end point are relative. For example, the whole life process of crops from sowing to harvesting is the time-space change process of crops themselves. In the process of crop growth and development, different growth trends (spaces) are reflected in different times, that is, time and space are the result of material movement changes; Time is the process (sequence) of material movement change, and space is the different forms (images) reflected by material movement change at different times. Of course, other creatures are like crops, such as humans. Everyone has his own time and space in his whole life from birth to death.

With the above conclusion, it is not difficult for us to find such a truth. Since matter, time and space are trinity, it is correct and scientific to use time (the time of matter itself) to predict the different growth and changes of matter at different times in its whole life process. For example, it takes 7-8 months (about 220 days) to grow wheat in the Central Plains. According to the growth characteristics of wheat, we can predict the different growth conditions of wheat in different periods, and even predict how much wheat can be harvested in a year, but this budget is not absolute. Because the growth and development of wheat are completely affected by environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, ice disaster, pests and diseases. For us humans, it is natural and scientific to predict the different changes of the whole life process at different times through time (the time, year, month, day and time when everyone was born) (that is, the good fortune and bad fortune as the ancients said). So, why use heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements of Yin and Yang to predict the fate of mankind? Because the ancients set heavenly stems and earthly branches, Yin and Yang as time, space and matter in the process of watching stars and making calendars, in which the heavenly stems indicate that the stars are moving and changing relative to the twelve branches; The earth branch represents the space (orientation), which is static relative to the ten-day trunk; As a result, the twelve branches of the earth did not move for ten days, and sixty jiazi was derived. Yin and Yang represent material movement changes; The five elements not only classify everything in the world, but also express the internal laws of material movement and changes and the nutritional elements needed by all living things in the process of growth and development. For example, soil contains a variety of trace elements, including metal elements such as potassium, copper, iron and zinc. (This is primary gold); Under the action of various enzymes, these metal elements are transformed into ionic states (i.e. three states of matter). When it is converted into liquid (raw water), it is absorbed and utilized by plants (that is, aquatic wood); The fruits of plants (that is, the food we eat) contain heat energy (this is the internal mechanism of wood fire). Some fruits (food) eaten by people (animals) are absorbed and utilized, and the other part is excreted as soil. Moreover, people (everything) become dirt after death. Then, the food we humans eat must first be crushed through teeth and then enter the stomach (fire-born soil), so the spleen and stomach belong to the soil; When the food stored in the stomach is converted into gas by various enzymes in the gastric mucosa and the human body, it enters the respiratory system (lung) (primary gold), so the lung belongs to gold; Now it is scientifically recognized: "The main function of the lung is to inhale the oxygen needed by cells and tissues all over the body, and to expel the waste gas carbon dioxide produced by cell and tissue metabolism." This may be the deficiency of modern science. These gaseous nutrients are filtered by the lung organs, and some of them are discharged with the respiratory tract (or waste gas), and the essence enters the kidney, which stores essence, and the essence is liquid, that is, water (golden raw water), so the kidney belongs to water; Part of human body fluids is used to supply their own energy needs, and the other part is used to have children and carry on the family line. However, how does the body fluid (water) that supplies the human body's own needs become blood? As we all know, the liver has the function of coagulation: almost all coagulation factors are made by the liver, which plays an important role in the dynamic balance of coagulation and anticoagulation systems in human body. That is to say, body fluid (water) can only be transported to the pericardium through the transformation of the liver (just as plants absorb nutrients and eventually form fruits), that is, in aquatic wood, wood makes a fire, so the liver belongs to wood and the heart belongs to fire. It is "endless and easy"

All the above changes are related to a series of chemical reactions. And it is a natural phenomenon, which is continuous and inseparable from each other. It's not artificial.

To sum up, Yin-Yang and Five Elements are universal laws of material movement, laws of nature and truth! ! This is the essence of the ancient people's thought of harmony between man and nature. If we regard the interaction of the five elements (laws of nature) as a forward movement, then mutual containment is a reverse movement, which shows how wise and great our ancestors are! !

Since it is scientific to tell fortune with the eight characters of birth, how high is the accuracy? Whether the accuracy of 100% can be achieved, my answer is: the accuracy of 100% can definitely not be achieved, because 1, any theory is not omnipotent, and of course, numerology theory also has some shortcomings, just like the ancients said, "Reading and believing in books is like having no books." Birthday is just a basic law, not a law. The survival of plants is influenced by environmental conditions. The fate of mankind is not only influenced by environmental conditions, but more importantly, everyone's fate is closely related to their own efforts and moral cultivation.

That is, success = eight characters+own efforts+objective factors (refer to the new theory of numerology). In other words, a person's fate is not immutable. Through their own efforts, moral cultivation, doing more good deeds, choosing a spouse who adapts to their own destiny, changing the environment (living environment and working environment), changing food (often eating food beneficial to their own destiny), and so on, to a certain extent, just like Shao Kangjie in the Song Dynasty said, "If a person goes to prison, then he will not violate the criminal law for the rest of his life. Will this person go to jail for life? " On the other hand, a person is born smart and has information about going to college. So if he doesn't study hard, can he go to college?
