Why do you often say "pinch your fingers"?

On the one hand, the phrase "pinch your fingers" is mostly used by fortune tellers. This seems mysterious, but it is actually just a method to calculate heavenly stems and earthly branches: the cooperation between the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches generally requires paper and pencil, but the ancients rarely had the opportunity to use paper and pencil when calculating numerology.

So just divide your fingers into three sections and fix them for ten days. When they coincide with the twelve earthly branches, you need to read the earthly branches according to your knuckles, so you can quickly calculate the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the year and month, and you can get it when you pinch your fingers. On the other hand: or hand index, metaphorically speaking, the number is small. ?

Precautions:

1, immediately divination when something happens, don't tell anything, tell everything only once, and then don't verify it.

2. For the same thing, you can also do temporary divination, just like the last incident, you can also do divination at the specific time when you receive a friend's appointment. But the same event can only be counted once, for example, when making an appointment, and it can no longer be counted when making an appointment.

3, any divination is not absolutely accurate, and the general direction is accurate. Generally speaking, 80% of the total events in daily life can be counted correctly. If it is stolen, we have worked out whether we can find the criminals, the number, the direction and the time to solve the case, but we have not worked out the amount recovered, which is considered a success.

4. There is a mystery hidden in the darkness, so you can't be disrespectful to Liu Ren and others, otherwise it will be bad.
