Xifang fortune-telling

There are roughly two views, one is "empty reference theory" and the other is "real reference theory"

A, virtual refers to say:

The word "360 lines" appeared in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In Tian Rucheng's book Notes on Traveling to the West Lake, the author uses "360 lines" to indicate that there are more businesses in Ming Dynasty than in Song Dynasty. Before that, China people used to use the number "36" to mean "a lot".

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tsui Hark wrote "Clearing Banknotes and Rural Merchants", in which he said, "Thirty-six walkers have their own occupations. Contrary to its division of labor, it is 36 lines a day; Second, it is seventy-two lines; Ten is 360 lines, all numbers. "

According to the viewpoint of "virtual finger theory", "360 line" is just a general term for all walks of life, referring to all walks of life in general, and it is an imaginary number, not a real number.

Second, the real refers to say:

Another way of saying it is that the lunar calendar has 360 days in a year. If you learn or do one line every day, you can learn or do 360 lines all year round. In other words, a person can only learn or do 360 lines at most.

Others think that the total circumference of 360 degrees was discovered by people in the two river basins in West Asia and has been used all over the world since ancient times. 360 is an integer in time and space. "360 lines" has the meaning of all industries in the world, including all industries from top to bottom and from ancient times to the present.
