How to tell fortune with hot pot in Japan?

Hot pot, as a delicacy that runs through Chinese civilization for thousands of years, is still the most popular way to eat, and the Yuanyang pot that carries it to the other side has contributed a lot.

However, when the Yuanyang pot crossed Toyo Island, it subverted the previous mission of simple cooking. Like peach swords and divining cups, it has become a tool for divination and channeling. You can't imagine that a seemingly ordinary Yuanyang pot can set off a metaphysical storm in a foreign country with different beliefs.

Japan has its own fortune-telling rules for hot pot. Among them, different components are different life types, just like life, love and career lines on the palm of your hand, which are the basic corresponding standards.

Crab and scallop can predict peach blossom, which is based on the premise that the components of crab and scallop can improve the activity of kidney. Put these two things in the pot. If they struggle, it should be because people's waist is not sour and their legs are not shaking, so peach blossoms are flourishing.

Fish and beef balls can be used to infer the trajectory of life. Cattle balls are put in the yin pot, fish are put in the yang pot, and the more balls float at the same time, the more attractive and popular they are. The harder a fish struggles, the harder it lives and the longer it lives.

It is hard to imagine how Japanese fortune tellers summed up this seemingly mysterious but seemingly unreasonable fortune-telling rule. But in fact, Japanese people like divination very much, such as tea divination, flower palace divination and Chinese character divination. All kinds of divination related things can be seen everywhere. Taking divination as a life regulator, it is euphemistically called "healing". Maybe different souls are enlightened in different directions.
