Common images of blind people's fortune telling
Blind fortune tellers are home-based and out-of-home, mostly male, and have been blind since childhood. When going out, discerning relatives will lead the way. The blind man holds a cane in one hand, a round bronze mirror in the other and a small copper buckle with a bowl in the other. As he walked, he knocked "Ding Ding" to let people know that the blind fortune teller had come and introduced him to the yard for fortune telling. It is often done by one person, and then the neighboring women also take the opportunity to ask for it.
