What does it mean to tell fortune and break the bridge?

According to legend, the fortune-telling broken bridge is a broken bridge guarded by the god of the underworld, which is located next to the dead end. The main function of this bridge is to evaluate people's life and death and fate. According to legend, whenever a person dies, his soul will be taken to the fortune-telling bridge for a series of tests. According to the performance, the soul will be divided into different areas on the bridge according to its own behavior and thoughts, and then under the assessment of the devil and Yan, it will be decided whether the soul will have a peaceful reincarnation or become a hopeless lonely soul.

In China's mythology, the broken bridge is regarded as a sacred turning point. With the passage of time, it has also become an important brand of faith, widely used in divination, prayer and dreaming. Therefore, because of gossip, some people often call it "broken bridge in fortune telling", hoping to seek the help of the gods to change their fate or eliminate disasters.

Although most people don't believe in the mysterious power of broken bridges, there are still many scenic spots to promote. For example, there is a theme bar named "Broken Bridge Fortune Telling" in Shanghai, which is like a bridge in architectural style and interior decoration, providing experiential services similar to "soul consultation" and providing customers with various psychological support. This kind of business makes people feel the fusion of modern urban culture and myth tradition.
