Fortune-teller said it was late.
Fortune-telling is a very old industry in China. From the metaphysical point of view, fortune telling is a knowledge based on the Book of Changes and the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Many people have had the experience that when they or their relatives and friends go to fortune telling, unknown fortune tellers can always guess what we are thinking. Why is fortune telling so accurate? Do fortune tellers really have any special functions?
In fact, fortune tellers who call themselves "fortune tellers" in our daily life can basically conclude that they are liars. So, how do these fortune tellers work out what we think?
First of all, the Book of Changes and the five elements of Yin and Yang are really a very mysterious knowledge. Although fortune tellers who travel all over the rivers and lakes cheat for a living, they still have to learn the Book of Changes and the five elements of Yin and Yang. This is called laying a foundation and establishing a theoretical foundation. In the case of uncertainty, you can also come up with a set of profound theoretical basis to make the other party confused.
Fortune-telling is not so much calculation as deception. When someone asks a fortune teller for fortune telling, the fortune teller usually talks as little as possible and listens to the other person's story wholeheartedly. The more the other person says, the more information will be revealed. The fortune teller seized the opportunity and hit the nail on the head. The fortune teller can say what the other person thinks he hasn't said, and naturally he is amazed. In fact, these are all speculations made by fortune tellers based on the previous conversations of the other party.
For example, when parents come to tell their children's fortune, they basically ask their children if they will have a good future. Generally, people who have doubts in this regard can generally judge that the child's situation is not ideal. For example, if children tell their parents fortune, they can infer that other parents are in poor health. Because children care about their parents, there is basically nothing but health. And when parents are healthy, which child will think of telling their parents' fortune? Therefore, fortune tellers can't make mistakes like this.
Sometimes fortune tellers will give some ambiguous time judgments, such as telling each other that these two years are not going well. This statement is basically correct, because there is always less time in good times and more time in bad times. In case someone has spent two years, the fortune teller can also say that "these two years" also include this year, and this year is not over yet. Who knows what will happen next?
In addition, fortune tellers often give some vague information for the other party to verify themselves. For example, he asked, "Is there a tree in front of your house?" If there is, you will think that he really knows how to pinch and calculate; If not, he will solemnly say, "Oh, nothing is the best." So whether there is a tree in front of your house or not, the fortune teller is always right.
