The origin of fortune telling

According to legend, fortune-telling originated in Fuxi, and it was originally called divination. Fortune-telling is just a popular name. Fuxi was inspired when he saw patterns on the old horse in Luoyang. He drew the gossip of Yin and Yang according to the positive and negative changes of the pattern. Later, Zhou Wenwang "Jichang" was put under house arrest by Shang Zhouwang, and he was bored. He improved Fuxi's gossip, Sima Qian wrote in his book Bao Ren 'an

Innate gossip, founded by Fuxi, is used to measure astronomy and time, and can measure phenomena such as astronomical phenomena and climate change. However, in Zhou Wenwang's era, people not only wanted to know the astronomical phenomena and climate, but also wanted to know their own destiny and future events. Therefore, the acquired gossip founded by Wen Wang is used to measure the fate change of a person's life. Nowadays, fortune telling is often called the acquired gossip created by King Wen.
