Back fortune telling _ looking back fortune telling

Was the ancient fortune teller a quack or a feng shui master? Ancient people in China had developed a complete set of numerology theories in ancient times, but these theories rarely spread to the people. So before the Zhou Dynasty, there were only two kinds of people who knew fortune telling, one was a family fortune teller, and the other was a scholar-bureaucrat family who knew this theory. Of course, with the prevalence of Confucius and the Five Elements Theory, it was impossible for the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to support so many such people. Start the society to get the continuation of life, that is, start to get close to the people and literati. This advantage is that with your own knowledge, you can really make a living. Of course, some powerful people also participated in state affairs, which became the key to success. But at that time, divination was based on fighting between the two sides. Whether to go to war or not is the main thing. Of course, success is recorded, and the estimation of failure is nothing. In Zuo Zhuan, there are many records about them.

Later, more and more fortune tellers and sects formed various schools, which led to fierce competition. However, generally speaking, the more people are engaged in this industry, the more prosperous it will be. By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived, there were more than 100 fortune tellers around him, especially for one thing, everyone had different opinions.

Later, it slowly spread to the people, and folk masters began to emerge one after another. For example, Yuan Tiangang and others in the Tang Dynasty were masters from the people. He and Li also wrote a tuibei diagram, which you can't say for sure, but it must be a wonderful book for thousands of years. Therefore, fortune telling and feng shui are originally a family, but everyone's understanding is different. Of course, fortune telling is rarely used to help people casually, because it is not good for you. The founder of Mei Hua Yi Shu in Song Dynasty was very weak all his life, and he knew that the punishment was heaven at this time, so fortune-telling was not a blind calculation.

But then it developed slowly, because it became a business and could support the family. Later, many scholars failed in the imperial examination and could not plow the fields, but reading was not the three major evils. They had to find something to do, at least to make a living, and gradually learned a little fur fortune-telling and geomantic omen. Anyway, this thing depends on their mouths. Believe it or not, it is right to be blind, and it is also right to be blind. The world doesn't blame you anyway. In fact, since then, there is basically no threshold for engaging in business. Anyway, you can be a fortune teller if you know a few words. Of course, everyone will do it, which leads to what results. Everyone thinks this thing is unreliable. In fact, this thing can be learned, and it is inaccurate without learning and experience.

With the development of science, fortune telling is now challenged and questioned by science. But let's see, after so many years, westerners still believe in tarot cards and astrology, so when something can't be explained by science, everyone has to turn to tradition, which is actually a category of psychology.

Therefore, fortune telling and geomantic omen are actually like the ancients' big data summary of people, society and natural environment. Believe it or not.
