Is fortune telling equivalent to farting?

Fortune telling is an act of speculating people's fate, which belongs to the category of metaphysics.

The science of fortune telling is called Yi Xue, also called numerology. Its theoretical core is yin and yang, five elements, eight diagrams and the Book of Changes, and its theoretical system is complex and profound. Fortune-telling in a narrow sense is the prediction of birth (four pillars and eight characters), while fortune-telling in a broad sense includes reading numbers, palm reading, gossip, six hexagrams, Taoism, six pillars prediction and so on. Ancient divination, black and blue, and divination are all fortune-telling.

Divination metaphysics has a long history in China, and its origin can be traced back to Fu. After Zhou Wenwang played gossip, fortune-telling began to develop gradually, and the specific development process was relatively long, with each generation contributing more or less. Fortune-telling is just a kind of psychological comfort for people to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Fate is unpredictable, and there are variables at any time. Man's destiny is in his own hands. People mostly use it to predict various future events. It is an auxiliary means when technology is unpredictable. If there is no practical action, everything will be in vain, and we should not indulge in it.

Fortune-telling is a slightly mysterious metaphysics, based on the Book of Changes and the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Although fortune-telling is not superstitious, it is not as fantastic as some charlatans boast. Don't think that everything can be accurate just by fortune telling. In fact, fortune telling is not so magical. Don't completely deny this knowledge because of some uncertainties. We should treat fortune telling with a scientific attitude. Prediction is to find out the law of things according to some known conditions, and calculate the development trend of things according to its law. In everything, there are both "fixed numbers" (regularity) and "variables" (irregularity). Predicting a thing's "destiny" can be measured, but its "variable" is unpredictable. Why are "variables" unpredictable? It is not difficult to understand the law of "butterfly effect". There are both fixed numbers and variables. This is the way of heaven and earth. Man is predestined by heaven, and so is reason.

Due to the limitation of knowledge and cognitive ability, there are not many people who really understand in society, and most of them seem to understand. Because this science does not belong to the category of modern science, and it is profound and mysterious, people lack a correct understanding of this science, which gives charlatans a broad cheating space.

Where there is demand, there is a market. Many people in the society have been crowned with resounding titles under the guise of "easy to learn and predict". Their titles are no longer ancient "semi-immortals", but "masters" who keep pace with the times. Among these "masters", there are many idle little intellectuals or people who have a rough understanding of Li Yi. They claim to know gossip, read palms, avoid disasters, bluff and cheat, and make a living by fooling with a golden tongue. Lack of knowledge, but in order to make a living, just talk big, mystify, make some ambiguous words, involving some superstitious things to clear their names; Others deliberately exaggerate the influence of certain factors (such as names) on people's fate on the grounds of helping people resolve, so as to make profits.

Due to people's lack of correct understanding of this subject and the proliferation of "masters" pretending to be mysterious and deceptive in society, this subject has been superstitious for a long time.
