As the quintessence of Chinese studies, why did Zhouyi become a fortune-telling tool today?

This truth is actually very easy to understand, and human nature is selfish. Buddhism does not give people hope, good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. Without this fruit, no one in this world will do good. The theory that life is short, everything is illusory, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, a flower is the world, and a Buddha is a Buddha, and only subtle theory will soon decline and cannot be passed down. If men and women can't get pleasure from it, the reproductive system can't get a pleasant and wonderful nervous system, but it feels more painful than the disease, and the whole human race can't reproduce, give you a sweet taste, and then let you actively and indirectly complete the purpose of reproducing.

If the Book of Changes only teaches us to strive for self-improvement, be virtuous and carry things, gentlemen will work all day long, keep pace with the times, walk on thin ice, move when they see good, and change when they have. Just discussing the truth of dealing with people, self-cultivation and moral accumulation will soon be lost in the long river of history, and may have been burned when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism. It is precisely because of its divination function that it is widely circulated among the people and has survived every cultural disaster. Then let more people with lofty ideals pay attention to, explore and study the significance of their divination accidents.

It has something to do with how many plum blossoms are good, because plum blossoms are good. It's good to learn plum blossom. You don't have to see divination. Just read it smoothly. Anyway, plum divination is particularly arbitrary. For example, when we say "divination", you can divine according to the strokes of the two characters, you can divine according to the pronunciation of the two characters, and no one says that I will divine according to the structure. People who calculate plum blossoms accurately are generally wise and have a particularly strong ability to analyze things. The people waving in Tiananmen Square are all plum blossom masters. Maybe they don't know.

In fact, most fortune-telling now has little to do with Zhouyi itself. Especially now that there are so many softwares, there are fewer people who use hand tools and hexagrams, how much more do you expect them to learn the Book of Changes? The Book of Changes, as a philosophical classic dealing with interpersonal relationships, is being studied tirelessly by many people. But people who really understand the truth are worried about their husbands in the temple. Only people who seem to understand (such as me) use this thing to tell their fortune.
