What does fortune telling mean?

Two-line fortune telling is a relatively simple algorithm in traditional fortune telling. The so-called "221 line" means that fortune tellers use two bamboo sticks and a red rope to represent the five elements in their names respectively to calculate their personal destiny. Although this fortune-telling method is simple and easy to learn, it is not very accurate. Because it only considers the five elements of a name, but ignores many other factors, such as birth time, constellation, face and so on.

Second-and second-line fortune telling is a ritualized fortune telling method. In the traditional culture of China, many people believe that their fate can be changed by praying for the blessing of gods, immortals and buddhas. So, they will go to the fortune teller and seek the answer they seek through two sentences or two lines. Although this method has no scientific basis, it is a kind of sustenance and belief for some people with strong beliefs.

Although second-and second-line fortune-telling has no scientific standards and accuracy, it not only embodies the rich connotation of China traditional culture, but also provides people with a symbolic hope. Facing the uncertain future, people always need to seek some kind of stable faith and dependence. Therefore, second-and second-line fortune-telling meets people's needs to some extent. However, we should pursue a truly scientific and reasonable way to know our destiny, because only in this way can we better guide our life path.
