Refers to the beginning of Fan's fortune telling, which started in the Northern Song Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty?

There are two theories about the origin of fortune telling:

1, the history of fingering began with Guiguzi in the Warring States Period;

Another way of saying this is that it originated from Li in Tang Dynasty, but was later renamed Guiguzi. People who want to tell fortune often turn to some people who have studied numerology or are respected to seek guidance and solve problems for themselves. In ancient China, such people were also called "fortune tellers".

The establishment of fortune-telling began in the Tang Dynasty, but it is considered that there are two ways of inheritance, one is the concept of Yin and Yang and the five elements in the Han Dynasty, and the other is the blending of western astrology. Superstitions in foreign astrology were introduced to China in the Six Dynasties along with Indian, Western Brahmanism and Buddhism.

Fortune telling is an act of speculating people's fate, which belongs to the category of metaphysics. The science of fortune telling is called Yi Xue, also called numerology. Its theoretical core is yin and yang, five elements, eight diagrams and the Book of Changes, and its theoretical system is complex and profound. Fortune-telling in a narrow sense is the prediction of birth (four pillars and eight characters), while fortune-telling in a broad sense includes reading numbers, palm reading, gossip, six hexagrams, Taoism, six pillars prediction and so on. Ancient divination, black and blue, and divination are all fortune-telling.
