Fortune-telling folklore production _ Fortune-telling practice

As the saying goes, "the poor love fortune telling, while the rich love burning incense". What's the point?

First, because the poor care about money, and the wife cares about health, so the poor usually go to fortune telling to see their wealth or other circumstances. This lady doesn't care about this. They only burn incense and worship Buddha at home, praying for good health and family safety.

Second, in rural areas, for every old man, there are some sayings about life, including some weather changes, farmland cultivation and neighborhood relations. In rural areas, these proverbs are simple in composition, mostly composed of vernacular and dialects, which are easy to understand. This may be one of the reasons why proverbs are popular in rural areas! Although everyone is advocated to be equal, there are rich people and rich people at all times and in all countries. Different courses will produce different ideas and do different things. The rich want them to stay away from diseases and disasters. The poor want them to become rich. In this way, there will be a phenomenon that "the poor love fortune telling and the rich love burning incense".

Third, as the saying goes, "The poor love fortune telling, while the rich love burning incense". There were many fortune tellers in ancient times. Zhouyi is a unique school. Zhouyi is the most important means of air transportation for people. Inferring people's fate from their faces. Most fortune tellers are poor. At that time, fortune tellers took to the streets, mostly to poor places. The cost is relatively cheap and acceptable to the poor. Fortune telling is a shameful thing for the rich. So they don't tell fortune. They prefer to worship Buddha statues at home and pray for no disease or disaster.

Fourth, fortune telling is not only cheap, but also a fortune teller will say a few more nice words, saying that you will live a good life in the future and you will be promoted and made a fortune. In this case, the poor will be happy to hear and hope for more fortune telling. For rich enterprises, this is very successful.

At this time, health is more important than anything else, and Buddha can give it health and longevity, so rich people like to burn incense and worship Buddha. There were also special temples in ancient times for people to burn incense and pray. What we hear most is the living Buddha, and temples are often rich and powerful young people.

Whether fortune-telling or burning incense, people want to be healthy, disease-free and rich, and hope to live a better life, but they all pin their hopes on imaginary things. What is missing in real life is mainly people's psychological function.
