Macau Fortune Teller _ Who is Macau Fortune Teller?

It's not Jiang Yi religion, but Jiang Xiang religion, and Jiang Xiang religion is mainly not a fortune teller, but a fraud gang.

Jiangxiang School is a group of swindlers who rely on fortune telling to find fortune. "Jiang" refers to rivers and lakes, and "Xiang" refers to the prime minister; Together, they are the prime ministers in the Jianghu. Generally, they analyze and convince people under the banner of physiognomy, and then cheat. According to the published information, this sect was popular in Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the early years of the Republic of China.

Before liberation, within the Cantonese language family, a superstitious gang calling itself "Jiangxiang School" was active for a long time, specializing in superstitious fraud. In its heyday, the members of Jiangxiang School spread all over major cities in Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as Hankou, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau and Malaysia, with Guangzhou as its base camp. Members include Mr. Xiang Ming, a god stick, a temple worshipper (temple owner), a Taoist, a nun, a monk, a chairwoman, a Jianghu drug dealer or artist, a liar, a gossip (alchemist) and a member of the underworld. In order to control his disciples conveniently, the senior figures of the "Jiangxiang School" claimed to be members of the underworld and regarded Hong Men's five ancestors as the founders. Fang Zhao Yu, a native of Kangxi period, walked the rivers and lakes as Mr. Xiang Ming to cover anti-Qing activities. Now some other tribes regard Liu Bowen as their ancestor, and after the Republic of China, they formally developed into fraud groups. They often play tricks and cheat money in the name of "fortune telling". Although they are liars, they have their own set of philosophical and moral concepts, which show China's typical loyalty, exclude "cheaters" and "kidnappers" who are divorced from human flesh and blood, and show the traditional moral ethics of maintaining women's chastity and attaching importance to human relations. In the difficult period of life in the late Qing Dynasty, most of the top figures of these gangs responded to the national revolution. After the Qing dynasty was overthrown, some even joined the revolutionary army as consultants, staff officers and secretaries. Although they have certain morals, some members will violate these rules. For example, Fu in Hong Kong used "flying" (dancing skills) to trick other people's concubines into being his own concubines, which was the reason why he was dissatisfied with his fellow disciples and one of the reasons why he could not take over as the head after He Liting's death. They think they are cheating on ill-gotten gains. In order to rationalize cheating, they say that people are cheated because they are greedy, so they don't rule out "putting white pigeons" (that is, cheating men with women's money) because they think greedy men are cheated by themselves.
