What is the meaning of fortune-telling
Fortune-telling is a relatively mysterious metaphysics, based on the "Book of Changes" and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements systems. Based on knowledge. "Book of Changes" originated from Fuxi Bagua, and Fuxi Bagua originated from "Hetu Luoshu"; "Yi Xici Shang" said: "The river produces pictures, Luo produces books, and the sages follow them." From Hetu Luoshu to Bagua symbols Turning to the hexagrams and lines that explain the Eight Diagrams, we can see the development trend of Chinese culture. It is a way of thinking that draws on natural methods and enriches it with people's experience. The theoretical basis of fortune telling is "Yin Yang and Five Elements", which is the core of classical Chinese philosophy and a simple ancient materialist philosophy; Yin and Yang refer to two mutually opposing but interrelated forces that exist in everything in the world; the Five Elements are It is composed of the operation and changes of the five basic substances of "wood, fire, earth, metal, and water". It emphasizes the overall concept; the confluence of the two major theories of yin and yang and the five elements forms the framework of traditional Chinese thinking. It is still necessary to understand that a complete prediction system of fortune-telling is formed based on the nature of yin and yang and the five elements and the principles of nature, which are transformed into the nature of the ten gods and the principles of human affairs.
Can fortune-telling be trusted?
Under different circumstances, factors such as horoscopes, Feng Shui, social environment, historical background, people's subjective consciousness and so on. People with the same four pillars and eight characters have different feng shui, social environment, historical background, subjective consciousness and different destinies. Calculating the four pillars and eight characters is just a calculation of the innate fixed factors among the many factors that affect a person's destiny. From this fixed number, the main line of his life's destiny can be reflected. This is only the main line of his destiny, not the whole of his destiny. Therefore, even if the four pillars and horoscopes are completely measured correctly, it is still not possible to predict a person's specific destiny completely accurately, because the four pillars and horoscopes are only one of the main factors that affect a person's destiny, and there are many other fickle variables that have an impact on a person's destiny. So whether it can be trusted or not depends on the situation.
Why fortune-telling is so accurate
Fate-telling is also known as the "Four Pillars and Eight Characters", also known as "Ziping Technique". It is used to predict the fate of people. . Practice has proved that the prediction model of Zipingshu's four pillars plus the Great Movement and the fleeting year is incomplete. Only the four pillars of the sun and the moon are the complete model of the four pillars and eight characters prediction. The eight characters of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches found out from the calendar use Heaven, Earth, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to represent the year, month, day, and hour of a person’s birth. Together they are eight characters. Bazi (eight-character destiny, eight-character fate science) is a kind of fate science that predicts destiny according to the laws of yin and yang and the five elements. The relationship between birth and restraint is also known as Zhengyin, Pianyin, Shangguan, Cooking God, Zhengguan, Pianguan, Zhengcai, Piancai, Bijian and Jiecai, collectively referred to as the "Ten Gods". The main concept of the four pillars and eight characters is fate, or destiny. The arrangement and combination of the heavenly stems and earthly branches (i.e., the eight characters) in the year and month of a person's birth is destiny. However, it is impossible to calculate noble, low, good, and bad based on the eight heavenly stems and earthly branches. Therefore, they are combined with the yin and yang and the five elements, so that the heavenly stems and earthly branches have the attributes of yin and yang and the five elements, and have the relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and derive the punishment and opposition. , harm, cooperation and other relationships. It is a knowledge about predicting a person's career, marriage, wealth, studies, health, etc. based on the Ganzhi calendar, Yin Yang, Five Elements and other theories, so it is relatively accurate.
