Fortune telling is what fortune tellers study.

Is there any scientific basis for fortune telling?

In the eyes of many people, fortune-telling is just a superstition, even a trick to cheat money. But in fact, fortune-telling is not just about looking at birthdays and harmony, it covers the "destiny" and "variables" among various developments in the world. Inferring the development direction of things from the role of "variables" on "destiny" is a science, although it is not completely consistent with the knowledge learned on weekdays.

Closed psychology

Many fortune tellers always give people the feeling that they don't give any mysterious information, but what they say always makes people suddenly enlightened. In fact, fortune telling is not omnipotent. It can't know everything. Even if a very powerful forecaster knows a lot, he can't say everything. So generally speaking, fortune telling is closer to a folk psychology and enlightens you and me.

Is fortune telling science or superstition?

Fortune-telling takes Yin-Yang and Five Elements as its theoretical core, which is one of the long-standing scientific theoretical foundations of China and a division of material existence in the world. Although this division is different from many scientific theories, it is also an excellent theory, and the word "superstition" cannot be used to exclude it. If you understand it carefully, you will find that the five elements are very useful in life.

Everything is reasonable.

Although everything is complicated and changeable, it also has a regular side, which was summed up when we used qi theory to tell fortune. In China culture, fortune telling is actually one of our most important ways of thinking, which can also be said to be the core of our classical philosophy of China, an ancient and simple materialistic philosophy and a science.

Is fortune telling science or superstition?

astrophysics

Fortune telling is not only about calculation and five elements, but also includes interesting branches such as star watching. Many people think that scientific means are very advanced now. In the past, predicting the weather by looking at the stars has been realized by weather forecasting. But think about it carefully, in ancient times, without modern machinery, it was even more powerful to calculate the weather and observe the laws of planetary motion. In fact, this is an ancient physical science.

We should look at everything dialectically. The same is true of fortune telling. Its advantage is that we are far from exhausted. We can never use the word "superstition" to summarize it, but we should take its essence, discard its dross and make good use of it.
