Why is there astrology?

In the East, people began divination as early as the Neolithic Age. At the same time, China's system of the origin of the universe was formed with its application (especially in medicine). The soothsayers use the shoulder blades of cattle or the shells of turtles (known for their wisdom and longevity, so they can get good advice) hollowed out at several certain points in advance. After asking a question to one of the king's ancestors, they put a burning stick in each hole. The interpretation of cracks or figures (Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the predecessor of the Book of Changes) can predict the future. The earliest divination remains in 4000 BC were found in northern China.

In Shang dynasty (BC 1500 ~ 1030), some fortune tellers served the king all the year round in order to determine the policy and management regime, and to know whether hunting was appropriate or not, and whether the next food was favorable or unfavorable. The same problem is also engraved on shells or bones, such as the way one side faces the other. People found the words on it so small that they thought it was a secret document. At present, there are more than 65,438+000,000 words in sacred works.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions attracted the attention of China authorities, who decided to excavate in Anyang (Henan Province), the last capital of Shang Dynasty. The expedition began at 1920 and lasted until 1937 when the Japanese invaded China.

The Book of Changes has become a new Oracle, and people use yarrow, a sacred plant's stem to ask questions about it. This part is full of wisdom. Based on the cooperation of Yin and Yang, its combination can create everything.

Judging from the fragments found in China, the historical materials of Asian divination have also been preserved in Tibet, where there is less war. There, he discovered the teachings of China's mysterious Wang Fuyi (2852-2738 BC) and wrote a book about divination and astrology. According to legend, during his reign, a monster with a horse's head came to China with eight diagrams engraved on his back, all of which are symbols composed of three lines, and are the basis of the Book of Changes.
