The ancients set up stalls to tell fortune _ The ancients set up stalls to tell fortune pictures

What was used for fortune telling in ancient times?

There are many methods of divination,

In ancient times, the method of divination with yarrow was very complicated; For example, the copula says, "The number of big swallows is fifty, and nine out of forty are used; Split in two, there are two images, hang one with three images, wipe it with four images, have four images, return to strangeness, have a leap of images, and then leap at the age of five, so hang up again. This is the divination method of yarrow. Later, it was said that the fairy Lord of Guigu turned grass into copper coins, and wealth, officials, fathers, brothers and sons were all bound by God's orders. This is actually a major reform of divination! Because the ancients were calm and sincere, the long process and time of divination can still make people feel connected and concentrate;

There are many people and distractions today, so it is better to wait for a long time! Before yarrow was finished, it was like putting a thousand kites in my head, and I didn't know where to fly. How can you get accurate divination without concentration? This trend of simplification has been developing; For example, rice grains, numbers and characters are drawn ... Among them, things, sounds, people (including one word, two words ... eleven words), feet, animals and still lives are listed magnificently in the Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms, and so on. Most of the divination methods we can see today can't get rid of these categories, but they have changed slightly.

As far as China is concerned, tortoise shell divination can only be used when the tribe encounters a big event, because when divining, tortoise shell will crackle when it is baked by fire, which is often understood as God's will. Therefore, yarrow is usually used for divination of small things. (alias Artemisia argyi, Pteris vittata, Artemisia centipede, flying centipede, saw grass)

If you want to describe the skills of fortune tellers, you can also refer to using different divination methods according to the urgency of the situation. If it's a small matter, just use the magic wand trick on TV ... pinch your fingers and pay the copper. Hmm. How interesting
