It's a fortune-telling place in Sujiatun, Shenyang.

Unbelievable, fortune telling has been a skill and a means of making a living for thousands of years. It is no different from shaving, pedicure, cross talk, allegro singing, juggling and so on. Since it is a means of making a living, the fortune teller must find a way to get the money in your pocket into his pocket.

First of all, fortune tellers must be good at reading people's words and deeds. They should infer a person's status, occupation, personal preferences, etc. from his dress, words and deeds, mental state and even facial expressions, and also combine the background of the event at that time and so on.

For example, when a young man looks like a student comes to tell his fortune, he basically asks about his studies. If the time is near the college entrance examination, even if he goes with his parents, the probability is infinitely close to 100%. If a single man looks plain, his clothes are dull and listless, the high probability is to calculate when he can make a career.

Extended data

Fortune tellers should also have a super memory. Because we know that "fortune telling" has a very large and complicated theoretical system, some young people who have just entered the industry often need to take out various instruments and even books to "calculate" while asking, and sometimes record the "information" you told him.

But it is impossible for a real fortune teller to do this. They will listen to your dictation, and finally tell you the result of his calculation lightly. Such an algorithm often makes the parties feel more reliable.

The last point is the unique "speaking art" in fortune telling. All their calculations are nothing more than three kinds. One is the "universal formula" type, which is applicable to anyone or "mostly applicable".
