The faults of a fortune teller _ the faults of a fortune teller
Many group friends asked me, will the prediction of student number lead to three shortcomings and five disadvantages? So, explain it specifically, and then I won't explain it anymore.
What are the three shortcomings and five disadvantages? Three shortcomings: money, life and power. Five evils: widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness and disability.
First of all, by understanding the objective historical background, we can roughly know the source of the three shortcomings and five disadvantages.
Farmers in this class are not allowed to study. Even if the imperial examination system has just taken shape, the gentry class needs the strength of the whole family to let a few people study.
It can be seen how difficult it was to study before.
Since ancient times, technical mathematics has been systematically studied by people with royal background. Its prerequisite is that you should have literacy and reading ability.
The imperial examination system originated in Han Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. But it was not until the Song Dynasty that it was strictly implemented, which made it possible for more people from the agricultural class to study.
In the ancient agricultural class, men were the laborers in the family. Unless you can make a name for yourself in ten years, you basically have to farm.
In this decade, it is almost impossible for you to focus on the unofficial review of Shu Shu.
Secondly, if you want to see this kind of book, you have to be a noble family, that is, people and relatives who serve the emperor behind you can have this kind of book.
Ordinary people even find it difficult to borrow it.
Finally, I borrowed it, and I had to write it down by hand, so I could study it later.
We know that the economy of Song Dynasty is developed, and its culture and mathematics are quite powerful.
That is, during this period, China's artistic and mathematical culture was fundamentally improved, and many miscellaneous studies were abandoned.
Very extensive forecasting techniques, such as wind angle and retrospection, have been replaced by more detailed six-hexagram, six-animal, strange gate and eight-character
Not lost, but upgraded.
Then people will not go hungry, and they will begin to enrich their cultural studies.
Prediction also reached a new peak in the Song Dynasty.
The peasant class is not idle.
Ordinary farmers still have to work at home, which is a habit.
First, if a person wants to study for a long time, he will naturally be lonely.
Second, there is no economic benefit in studying, so it will naturally be difficult to find a wife, and it will naturally be widowed.
Third, although it won't starve to death, nutrition still can't keep up. I have to work during the day and learn to read at night. I am very weak and feel sick.
Just look at the average age of the ancients. This is not much to explain. You can know it in any Baidu.
This is the situation of people who studied arithmetic normally in ancient times.
There is another kind, that is, the blind.
Blind people can't work, but they still have to survive. They are the hardest group. It can be said that the emergence of blind eight-character learning, including some touching bones, is the crystallization of their efforts.
Please don't look down on them, or even give them a high five. As representatives of self-reliance, they summed up a set of unique forecasting methods through long-term audio-visual, touch, which is very awesome.
But then it was different from now. Without the internet, it's all by word of mouth. I believe everyone has heard the story of Song people digging wells.
So many people see blind people telling fortune, that is to say, you see, they are condemned by God, but the blind people don't refute it. Why, the high cost of living means that you are right by default. I was retaliated for telling your fortune accurately. Do you think I overcharged you a lot? Of course not too much!
We respect knowledge now and are willing to pay for it! However, there was no knowledge of paying before. It's not easy to earn some extra money.
Similarly, there is no need to say more about the loneliness of the blind.
At that time, there was no fortune teller for the blind, and at most it was just a livelihood.
First, physical defects make it difficult to find a wife, and second, physical disability.
Coupled with marketing needs, I have to say this myself: the outdoor machine will help you tell your fortune.
Gradually, this statement was handed down.
Come to think of it, which royal star official have you ever seen?
Have you ever seen anyone with physical disabilities around the emperor?
This is Gao Fushuai. Rich, educated and married.
Therefore, there is no need to pay more attention to some strange ideas. In ancient times, he learned martial arts and sold goods to the emperor.
To put it bluntly, entering the royal family can have richer assets, more reliable protection and better reputation.
It has always been like this.
