The trap of fortune telling

About eight-character fortune telling (I don't understand other algorithms, so I won't comment)

Neither scientific nor superstitious. But based on the experience (or statistics) of China's world view.

The theoretical basis of eight-character fortune telling is the theory of yin-yang and five elements, which is the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine.

The theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements accords with materialist dialectics. The five elements are matter, and Yin and Yang are the unity of opposites. The so-called opposition between the five elements is the negation of quantitative change, qualitative change and negation.

The theory of yin-yang and five elements is superstitious because the five elements can be perceived, but they cannot be scientifically verified or quantified.

But you can't deny it arbitrarily and unscientific.

In fact, this reflects the difference between Chinese and western world views. China is macro-comprehensive, while the west is micro-subdivided. It is also reasonable to think that the world consists of five elements. For example, when we distinguish between people and pigs, we can distinguish them as a whole, without dissecting their cells or genes in a microscopic way like in the West.

In fact, we can also see the difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine regards people as a whole, while western medicine constantly divides people into combinations of organs, cells and genes. In fact, the former is sometimes more reasonable, because western medicine is more reasonable only when the relationship between organs is weak or nonexistent. Otherwise, it is more reasonable as a combination. After all, people are not a simple combination.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

There is no doubt that Chinese medicine has a lot of practice and has a certain exact effect.

According to my limited practice, eight-character fortune-telling has certain accuracy, but it can't reach the height of scientific requirements.

Besides the rationality of theoretical basis, there is another reason why there is certain accuracy, which is based on the only scale of organisms-time and long-term practice accumulation.

Therefore, if we must look at it from a scientific point of view, no matter Chinese medicine or eight characters, we can regard it as a knowledge that has not yet completed statistics.

Or it can be regarded as another kind of science, which is different from the macroscopic comprehensive science of western science in microscopic analysis, and can be called "China Science". However, to develop this science, it seems that the methods so far can only be verified by actual statistics and practice.

Therefore, it is suggested that the development of traditional Chinese medicine should make use of modern science and technology and the power of the state to make statistics before there is a more scientific and reasonable method. It is not difficult for the country to use big data statistics now.

This should be able to count repeated results that can be verified by science. This is based on the fact that the signs of the public are different within a certain range, except for a few. In fact, the common Chinese medicines we usually drink are the results of long-term statistics and repeatable verification. By the way, remind those Chinese medicine fans not to mention that one person is the extreme view of Chinese medicine, because if a person's signs are really complicated to the point where everyone has a qualitative difference, then any medicine is useless! This formulation is a trap that really hinders the development of Chinese medicine, but it is just a ridiculous excuse for the incompetent to avoid scientific verification.

For example, pulse diagnosis, which measures the strength and frequency of beating by instruments, can be summarized as "sinking pulse" in a certain range, and can also be further subdivided into "heavy sinking", "moderate sinking" and "light sinking". , combined with other statistical symptoms, use the corresponding formula and volume. And this statistical result is universal, except for some special constitutions.

As can be seen from the above, the so-called "masters" are very few in probability. After all, relying on personal accumulation and judgment, the accuracy rate is not much higher in theory. Therefore, if you arbitrarily charge high fees in the name of "master", it is suspected of fraud. And if the two sides price according to the accuracy, and you charge reasonably, it is a normal labor transaction. After all, it takes brains and time to calculate the eight characters.

In Baidu, I know that it helps people calculate here, but I don't know the rest. I'm free anyway.

But unfortunately, this kind of free measurement is not accurate, and few people like it or adopt it ~ ~ ~

I say this to remind people who are looking for tests, which will make people discouraged. Or things that are too easy to get will not be cherished, but those that pretend to be masters are more popular.
