The origin of fortune telling
According to the Voice of China News Night, fortune-telling began in the pre-Qin period. When the ancient Egyptians used papyrus to write notes and the Babylonians used clay tablets to write books, the ancient people in China cut bamboo into strips, thinned and polished it, baked it with fire, and wrote the most vivid historical facts on bamboo slips, which were handed down to future generations. Eight-character fortune-telling, with only six words at that time, namely three pillars, was founded by Li, and was arranged with heavenly stems and earthly branches in the date of birth, so there was no time. In the early Song Dynasty, Xu Ziping and his birth time were changed from six characters to eight characters. The development and maturity of "eight-character fortune telling" is a great contribution of Xu Ziping, so it is also called "Zi Shuping". Eight-character fortune-telling is an act of using eight-character birthdates to seek guidance to predict or judge a person's good or bad fortune, also known as fan fortune-telling. It is a kind of traditional knowledge of the Han nationality, which infers people's occupation, marriage, wealth, study and health according to the theories of the calendar of cadres and branches, yin and yang, five elements and gods and evil spirits.
What is the relationship between horoscope and science?
It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Han working people; It is a valuable experience summed up through thousands of years of ups and downs, big waves and sand scouring, and the continuous efforts and repeated practices of countless historical prophets; A large number of practices at home and abroad have proved that it not only has unique and magical advanced prediction and advanced reflection functions, but also has extremely profound scientific theory and extremely valuable use value. With its strong vitality and scientific nature, it has been handed down to this day and attracted the attention of many scholars at home and abroad. So it is not feudal superstition, but dialectical materialism, not idealism. It is said that the basic principle of eight-character fortune-telling prediction is based on the change of yin and yang, the restraint of five elements and the birth date, and it is a subject that teaches people to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck.
Its significance lies in helping people to prepare and refer to possible future events. Not decisive. Play an auxiliary role. But this is "foresight" rather than "determinism". There is not an accurate and inaccurate statement, or what was accurate in the past, which is terrible! However, people's future is changeable, and predictability is to prepare people for what may happen in the future.
