Fortune telling market statistics _ Fortune telling market size

Why are there fewer and fewer fortune tellers on the street now?

First, the overall quality of the people has improved. More and more people believe in science and consciously resist feudal superstitions, which directly leads to the lack of market for fortune telling.

Second, it turns out that fortune tellers are all nonsense. The fortune teller used to predict what this person would look like in a few years, but now it's the fortune teller's turn to say it, but the person who can be counted is not. For example 10 years ago, a fortune teller said that my second uncle would not live to be 68 years old. Now he is 75 years old and in excellent health. The fortune teller's "nonsense" is self-defeating. In marriage, couples who were previously said by fortune tellers to have incompatible personalities are now living happily, which undoubtedly hit the fortune teller in the face, and no one believes in fortune telling anymore.

Third, medicine is developed and the rural cooperative medical system is sound. Now that farmers are sick, they all go to the hospital voluntarily. No one believes in the so-called "solution" of fortune tellers anymore.

Fourth, the disabled have received the minimum living guarantee and care from the government. Those blind people don't have to make a living by telling fortune. They have a life guarantee and live well.

Quote a well-known story: One day, three scholars went to Beijing to catch the exam, stayed in a hotel and met an old fortune teller. When they asked about the way out of the imperial examination, the old man mysteriously waved his finger and said, "I'm sure you can read my finger." And after seeing the list, I made an appointment to meet at this store to verify its accuracy. All three scholars refused to put down the shelf of "smart intellectuals" and showed understanding.

After the scholar left, the shopkeeper talked with the fortune teller out of reverence. The fortune teller smiled to himself and said, "Is this not allowed? If there is one person, it means that only one person can enter the exam; If there are two people, it means that one person can't pass the exam; If three people fail, it is interpreted as one person failing the exam; All three possibilities can be expressed. How can I be blocked? "
