Fortune-telling history

How long has fortune-telling been circulating in China?

Fortune telling is a common name among the people. The academic title is prediction, and the academic study of fortune telling is called Yi Xue, also called Shu Shu. The core of this theory is the branches of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams Yijing, and the theoretical system is complex and profound. Fortune-telling in a narrow sense is the prediction of the date of birth, while fortune-telling in a broad sense includes reading, reading, gossip, Taoism, geography, feng shui and so on. Ancient divination and divination belong to fortune telling.

Interpretation of the Book of Rites: "The Book of Changes says,' A gentleman should be cautious at the beginning. If the difference is a million miles, the mistake will be a thousand miles. The ancients believed that small changes would have a great impact on the future. According to Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, there was a border town in Chu called Beiliang. At that time, girls in the border town of Wu were picking mulberry leaves on the border. While playing games, Miss Wu accidentally stepped on Miss Beiliang. The low beam people took the injured girl to blame the Wu people. The people of Wu were rude, and the people of Beiliang were very angry, so they killed Wu and left. Wu people went to Beiliang for revenge and killed the whole family of Beiliang people. The doctor in Beiliang Shoucheng was furious and sent troops to fight back against the Wu people, killing all the local Wu people, old and young. Wu Wang Yi was very angry after hearing this. He invaded Chu border town, captured Iraq and left. As a result, there has been a large-scale conflict between Wu Chu. From playing games and hurting my feet, to the outbreak of a large-scale war between the two countries, and then to Wu Jun's invasion of Du Ying, there is an invisible death force in a series of evolution, which irretrievably pushes the incident to an uncontrollable situation step by step. Therefore, the ancients attached great importance to the seal of bad luck, because small things can change the fate of the future. Finger-fan fortune-telling can be traced back to Xia and Shang Dynasties, and it can be confirmed that most of the unearthed Oracle Bone Inscriptions are Oracle Bone Inscriptions. At that time, before the ancestors held major activities such as sacrifice, conquest, marriage, etc., they all burned tortoise shells or made a trip to the grass, and made pious divination on the matter to judge good or bad luck. This was probably the bud of early fortune telling. In the Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhou and others compiled Zhouyi on the basis of predecessors' experience, and the art of divination rose to the theoretical level. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius and his disciples added an annotated article called Ten Wings to the Book of Changes, and from then on, the Book of Changes was also called the Book of Changes. Almost at the same time, Zou Yan, a doctor of the State of Qi, founded the theory of five elements, which was combined with the theory of yin and yang in the Book of Changes and became the theory of yin and yang and five elements. In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu, Jing Fang and others carried forward and gradually formed a set of theories and methods of divination. However, the divination and fortune-telling system at that time was still superficial, limited to the accounting level, and the accuracy of fortune-telling was not very high.

The history of fortune-telling began with Guiguzi in the Warring States Period. Another legend is that it originated from Li in the Tang Dynasty, but was later renamed Guiguzi. People who want to tell fortune often turn to some people who have studied numerology or are respected to seek guidance and solve problems for themselves. In ancient China, such figures were also called "fortune tellers".

The history of fortune telling is well documented: According to the Voice of China News Night, (/GB/N/2014/0186331-20328061..

Fortune-telling in the Book of Changes is a kind of Kuibao culture handed down in China for 5,000 years, which is beyond anyone's doubt. Everyone should look at the Book of Changes fortune-telling with a scientific eye. We should not blindly think that fortune-telling in the Book of Changes is superstitious because some poor prophets cheat money and color under the banner of fortune-telling in the Book of Changes, nor foolishly think that fortune-telling is immortal because some prophets who are proficient in five techniques and numerology predict accurately. After all, fortune telling is only a technology, and the knowledge of numerology mastered by the forecaster directly affects the accuracy of prediction.

The so-called life is what a person is born to do, whether it is a farmer, an official or a businessman ... just like a person is born with a famous brand car or bicycle, it is doomed. As for luck, luck is the various time periods that people experience in the world. Luck is divided into Universiade and Small Luck. Universiade changes every five years, and Small Luck changes every year. Fate together is like a car driving on the road. The road it passes is Universiade, and the road is flat and smooth, bumpy and tortuous.

Some people say that their destiny is in their own hands, while others say that it is doomed and cannot be changed. These two views can only be said to be half and half. If a person can really control his own destiny, who in this world, except fools and mental patients, doesn't want to control his own destiny, glorifying his ancestors and shining the threshold? Some people will say that since it is destiny takes a hand, can money fall from the sky if you don't go to work to make money? In fact, everyone is not the Monkey King, but they are all in the five elements. After everyone is born, his life is doomed, and the water, fire, earth and fate of Jin Mu's horoscope will also be dominated by the earth's magnetic field. Many people should have felt this way. When they are lucky, due to the influence of the earth's magnetic field, they will naturally have great motivation to struggle and work hard. You meet all your own noble people and help you a lot. Because of your good luck, you can sleep soundly. If the big business is not done well, the whole person will become decadent and lack the motivation to make money. They are all villains, fighting against themselves everywhere, wanting to get married and not getting married, wanting to have a career and not having a career, and often suffering from insomnia. The Fu Ji written by Lv Mengzheng, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, can better illustrate all this. Everything is life, but not people. Before the dragon meets, it lurks between fish and shrimp. The gentleman lost no time in surrendering to the villain. The weather is out of date, the sun and the moon are dull, the land is out of date, the vegetation is not long, the water is out of date, the wind and waves are uneven, people are out of date, and the fortune is blocked. Fate is doomed or changeable. For example, a chicken can grow better, bigger and stronger after being born from an eggshell, but it is still a chicken. No matter how it is raised, it can't develop into a duck or a cow. Everyone can achieve the greatest success of his own destiny through hard work and change the day after tomorrow, but not everyone can become a general or an emperor through hard work. Fate together, you can see many true stories. Some people have a high numerology pattern. Although I became an official, I was unlucky, so I was not good at being an official. People everywhere want to make him feel bad, and the official is getting smaller and smaller. And some people with low numerology pattern are farmers, but they are lucky, so they live happily, farm well and work for more than a year. The Book of Changes is a precious culture that has spread in China for more than 5,000 years, which is beyond anyone's doubt. Fortune-telling in the Book of Changes is not simply to know your own destiny, but to know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil on the basis of knowing your own destiny. For example, someone's eight-character gold is booming and declining, which is most suitable for oriental wood transportation and career orientation is also most suitable for the development of oriental cities based on their birthplace. The so-called wealth is in the east, and the wrong direction misses the opportunity. If this person doesn't understand Zhouyi and develops to the west of his birthplace, plus the bad luck of the Universiade, it is either a loss of wealth or a disease. Even if the Universiade is very good, he should earn100000 a year, and he may only earn 5 million, bearing error. It can be seen that the realm of fortune-telling lies not in accuracy, but in how to change fate on the basis of accuracy, avoid misfortune and avoid detours, so as to seek the greatest wealth of one's life as soon as possible and quickly move towards the other side of one's success.
