Excuse me, how did fortune-telling come about? Which dynasty are you from?

Fortune telling is a common name among the people. The academic title is prediction, and the academic study of fortune telling is called Yi Xue, also called Shu Shu.

The core of this theory is the branches of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams Yijing, and the theoretical system is complex and profound.

Fortune-telling in a narrow sense is a prediction of the date of birth, while fortune-telling in a broad sense includes reading numbers, palm reading, eight diagrams and six hexagrams, Taoism, geography, geomancy and so on.

Ancient divination and divination belong to fortune telling.

Fortune-telling, China's prediction has a long history, and its origin can be traced back to Fu, the highest city. Then Zhou Wenwang played gossip, and fortune-telling began to improve gradually.

But the name fortune-telling first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and fortune-telling originated from Neo-Confucianism in the early Song Dynasty. It has nothing to do with ancient divination, but it also comes from ancient astronomy.
