What does fortune telling mean?

Classification: Society/Culture >> Folk Tradition

Problem description:

I sometimes see the word broken marriage when I am telling fortune. But I don't understand what this means. Everybody help.

Analysis:

Listening to the conversation of a generation ago, I often hear words such as "breaking money", "breaking grandchildren" and "disfigurement". These are all unpleasant words! It means extremely damaged. The breakdown of marriage is also a bad meaning, but the breakdown of marriage may also have other meanings.

If it is cracked, words like "cracked", "broken", "cured" and "saved" will be used.

Searching online, we can get that "marital breakdown" has two meanings, one is "marital breakdown" and the other is "destroying other people's marriage". However, I still think that the "marriage breakdown" mentioned by the fortune teller means "marriage breakdown". For example, a "person with a broken marriage" is someone who has experienced a broken marriage.

The online explanation of "destroying other people's marriage" is as follows.

A broken marriage

explain

Destroy other people's marriages.

With the relationship between husband and wife, there is only a father-son relationship, so the way to get married is more important; There are several ways to destroy marriage, some are to slander others before marriage; Some obstruct and destroy others' marriage; There is no smoke without fire, and marriage destroys people. I'm afraid marriage is predestined. How can people destroy it? Some marriages have been destroyed, after all, this marriage is not a marriage! But the separation of marriage is decided by heaven. If a person intentionally destroys another person's marriage, this crime is the same as murder. Alas! People who create evil, why lose their conscience in vain and create this great evil! As for the reconciliation between husband and wife, or the estrangement caused by the Yue family's suspicion that the son-in-law was born in poverty, or the in-laws listened to slanders because the daughter-in-law was poor, this is another kind of thief killing the relatives, which is much better than killing them with sticks and knives. These should serve as a warning. As for abandoning poverty and breaking off marriage, it is especially harmful to justice to force marriage by relying on power. If Judge bending the law decides that others can't get a divorce, it will greatly damage his virtue and will be condemned by God, which should serve as a warning to the judge.

Story 1:

When Siming Ge Dingfu was studying in Gong Xue, he passed the Land Temple every day. One day, the temple temple dreamed that the land god told him, "Every time Ge Zhuangyuan passes by here, I have to stand up and say hello to him. I hope you can build a small wall for me to keep him out! " According to the meaning of the land god, the temple began to prepare to build a small fence; I just found a good worker and dreamed that the land god told him in his dream: "There is no need to build a small wall. Ge Dingfu wrote a divorce letter for others, and his fame has been cut off by God. I don't have to confront him anymore. " It turned out that a countryman was going to abandon his wife. But he can't write, so let Ge Dingfu write for him. Ge Dingfu greatly regretted what the temple said and tried his best to save the villagers' marriage. Later, he only got into the provincial examination, that is, the examination for selecting juren held in the province, and the official only achieved the position of deputy envoy.

Story 2:

When Zheng Shutong was young, his parents made an engagement for him and Xia's little daughter. When she grew up, she became famous, but Xia's daughter became dumb because of illness. So Zheng Shutong's uncles advised him not to marry Xia's daughter. Zheng Shu, general manager, insisted on getting married. He said, "Xia's daughter, if I don't marry her, she will be homeless!" I was engaged to her before she became stupid. Now that she has become mute, I will abandon her. I really can't stand it! " So Zheng Shutong actually married Xia Xia. Later, the official position became a squire and his son became famous.

Sima Wengong's family motto in Song Dynasty said: "When discussing marriage, we should first examine the conduct and family law of both men and women, and make it clear that we can't just envy each other's wealth;" If the son-in-law is really talented, although he is poor now, how do you know that he will not be rich in the future? If the son-in-law is corrupt, although he is rich today, how can he know that he will not be poor in the future? And the wife is the key to the rise and fall of the family, if only to envy her family's temporary wealth, and marry her; She will rely on her parents' wealth, look down on her husband, disrespect her in-laws, develop a proud and jealous character, and her family will not be peaceful in the future; Even if you get rich because of your wife's wealth and get promoted by her family's influence, can a man with ambition not be ashamed? Secular people like to easily agree to their children's engagement when they are babies. When a child grows up, he will either be corrupt and degenerate, become a rogue, or suffer from a bad disease, or go away to be an official, so he will betray his faith and violate his engagement. There are many examples of lawsuits caused by this! Therefore, both boys and girls have to wait until they grow up before proposing for them; Then, after exchanging letters with each other, the man sent a gift to the woman's house, saying that he wanted to marry her, and he could get married after a few months of observation; So there will be no regrets after marriage. This kind of rule is also something that future generations should learn to follow! "
