Destiny is determined by heaven, and destiny is made by oneself: what did the ancients tell you is the key to changing destiny?

Do you tell fortune? When people are in recession, they have a sense of crisis in life and may be more likely to think of asking God for advice. However, it is reported that the global economic crisis in 2008 even affected numerologists. There were many fortune tellers during the small recession, but when the recession was severe, people even saved money for fortune telling. Being able to tell fortune means having a "destiny" to predict. Do people really have fate?

In the era before the exam, I took the college entrance examination and walked out of the examination room on the afternoon after the exam, and immediately received a miraculous question and answer from the teaching auxiliary industry. I looked at the answer excitedly and found that there were two big questions on the Chinese test paper that I had no impression at all. Did I forget to write it? What a pity! Such an unforgivable mistake happened at such an important moment! When I received the report card, I specially checked these two groups of questions. I was surprised to find that I wrote all the questions, but almost all of them were wrong. So, I passed the first choice in my mind by less than one point.

I have always been puzzled about this matter. Since I answered the question, why don't I remember at all? Was I absent-minded at that time? However, I didn't feel that I had been in a trance!

Predicting the chess path and winning or losing, and then reading Ji Xiaolan's notes about Yuewei Caotang, I suddenly realized something. There is a record in the book: two people are going to play chess, and a forecaster writes down his prediction, seals it in a bamboo tube, and then begins to play chess. When the two decided to win or lose, they opened the wooden bucket and saw that the forecaster not only predicted the outcome, but also drew a chess map in advance and recorded every move of the two men in advance, which was not bad compared with their actual chess game.

At that time, a fortune teller named Tong was very surprised when he saw this scene. Chess is such a thing that even the chess player can't predict his every move, which is because the possibilities of playing chess are ever-changing, which will attract many chess fans, and this predictor can not only predict the outcome, but also accurately measure every move. It's amazing!

Ji Xiaolan, a gifted scholar, thinks this is not surprising. Although he is not a "doctor of arithmetic", he is well-read and has read many stories. He told another similar story recorded by Zhong Yong in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there lived a Wang Sheng who was good at divination in the capital (Chang 'an). At that time, a man named Li Gou asked him to do business. After calculating, Wang Sheng gave Li Gou a roll of sealed paper, about a dozen, and said to him, "You have to be an official to clean up the mess before you can open it." Later, the emperor summoned Li Huan and ordered the minister to put forward a question to test his words. Li Gou worked from eleven in the morning to six or seven in the afternoon. After reading his paper, the emperor annotated it with "Give him the remaining gleanings tomorrow".

Later, Li Gou opened the sealed paper, which was exactly the same as his examination questions. Li Gou altered eight words when answering the questions. In Wang Sheng's sealed document, eight changes, including those instructed by the emperor, are exactly the same as the original!

If there is a real fate, and it can be so delicate, then the so-called "carelessness" and "dreaminess" may not be so accidental. But if fate can really be so subtle, how can we face the people around us, and how can we face conflicts, contradictions and fortunes?

Ji Xiaolan believes that those who understand that life has its own destiny, those who plunder by force, or those who camp every day, and those who are confused by the pursuit of fame and fortune should also be restrained. Because there is something in life, there must be something; What is not set in life will definitely not happen in the end.

Some people find it hard to accept the view that "a person's life has been decided". Of course, whether it is acceptable or not is not the same as the fact. Not only can modern people not accept it, but also the ancients can not accept it, just as Wei Zhi, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, once did.

A report in "Government and People" recorded a story: When Kevin·Z was a servant, two supervisors worked for him, and one day Wei Zhi heard two people talking at the window. One person said, "Our official position was decided by this old man (Wei Zhi)." The other disagreed: "It's all decided by heaven." After hearing this, Wei Zhi wrote a letter, which said, "Please give this man a good official position." Then send the person who said "Weng Ding" to the assistant minister's office. Wei Zhi wants to prove that this man is right. His position was offered by Wei Zhi.

The next day, I found that the assistant minister gave the position of "destiny belongs". Wei Zhi found that when the designated supervisor wanted to go out, his heart ached suddenly, so he asked the supervisor of "Destiny" to deliver letters on his behalf, so that "Destiny" got the official position. Knowing all this, Wei Zhi sighed and said, "Official salaries are determined by heaven, which is probably true!"

The story of "The Key to Change Destiny" made me not the first choice to enter the university because of the gap of a few minutes. It's a pity. Everything is doomed to be negative. However, although the ancients believed that everything had life, fate was not necessarily completely fixed. It can be better or worse. There are many such stories in history, and I want to share this story with readers.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Xiang Mengyuan, formerly known as Xiang, who was good at learning and writing. However, he took part in the rural examination many times, that is, he got the first pass in the official imperial examination, but he failed again and again. One day, when he was sleeping, he saw that he could have taken the township entrance examination in Xin Maonian. But his reputation was cut off by heaven because he had an improper relationship with two handmaids at home.

After seeing the reason why he failed in the exam, he vowed to turn over a new leaf and do good deeds to make up for his sins. He had a friend who was proficient in calligraphy, so he asked his friend to write a Buddhist sutra, and then he printed it out and gave it to others, year after year. Ten years later, one day he saw a yellow sheet of paper in his dream. The eighth name on the list is Xiang surname, the middle word is ambiguous, and the last word is "original". A man standing by told him: This is your ranking in the list. Therefore, he changed his name from "Bond" to "Dream" to conform to this Qimxy.

Later, he won the 29th place in Juren and the second place in Gong's family, but they didn't match the eighth place in his dream, and he had some doubts. Wait until the palace entrance examination, he was admitted to the eighth Jinshi, only to find that the top two list papers were white, while the list papers for the palace entrance examination were yellow. At that time, he dreamed of ranking on the yellow paper, which was his palace examination achievement ranking. Later, his official position was to be inspected as an agreement, and his official position was very positive.

The ancients used to say that doing good and accumulating virtue creates evil karma. A person's fate actually depends on virtue and karma, while good and evil are in his own hands. For an upright gentleman like Wei Zhi, it doesn't matter whether he has fate or not. As long as he behaves well, there will be more good deeds and good luck.
