Fortune-telling of descendants of Chinese studies _ China fortune-teller
Your question actually involves many aspects and can be divided into many sub-questions. Simply put:
1, national psychology. Every nation in the world has its own "mysterious complex", especially China. From emperors to ordinary people, they all believe in the existence of "divine calculation", "mystery" and "destiny" Generally speaking, all these have a credible side, but don't be convinced that conviction is equivalent to superstition (I will explain it briefly below).
2. China people's "mysticism" system. For thousands of years, China's mysticism has been widespread. Its origin is all in the three meanings, and its core has three systems, namely, the theory of heaven based on the etheric tree, the theory of land based on Taoism, and the theory of man based on six benevolence. The rest are very developed, including Wei Zi, seven policies and four surpluses, geography, astrology, fortune-telling and divination, etc. However, when you learn to the highest level, you will find that the whole system is an aggressive "mathematical probability" (be sure to remember).
3. True calculation and false mental calculation in past dynasties. Great men who assisted emperors and generals in past dynasties basically understood mysticism, but these people basically didn't use it. When Sun Wu wrote The Art of War, he discovered that fortune tellers were used to predict the outcome of many wars in the past. As a result, accurate predictions were recorded in the military books, and they were not allowed to be banned, so he understood that his military books did not talk about metaphysics, but only about theory and strategy. In addition, Dong Fangshuo in the Han Dynasty (the real founder of eight-character learning) and Shao Kangjie in the Song Dynasty (the founder of imperial system) were both pioneers of mysticism, but they both advocated "amateur play" (you should be able to understand the truth, "learning from fish is an ominous sign"! )
3. The general principle is that "small things are quite clever, and big things suffer." These metaphysics are quite accurate in folk small predictions. They are small businesses, small fortunes, and big events such as the National Games are all over. For example, Song Huizong and his son were captured by the nomads from the army because his Taoist Buddha said that according to his prediction, as long as all the guards in the whole city were removed, he would be able to exorcise demons and defend against the enemy, and the result was very embarrassing.
4. "Name" and "Reality". Don't be superstitious about so-called "masters" and so-called "China scholars". They are all fools. Chen Jinmian boasted that "the scientific achievements of 20 years of painstaking research can accurately and skillfully calculate you in a few seconds: what is your surname, what is your genus, what is your place of origin, what is your age, the season of birth (year, month and day), what is your occupation, how many people (men and women) are there in your family, how many brothers and sisters do you have, how old are you, and how many pigs, cows and sheep do you have? "How many acres of land do you have, how many rooms do you live in, how many telephones, how many cars you have at home, how many cigarettes you have in your cigarette case, and how much money you have in your pocket? ..... know what you think, test all of you, and the accuracy rate is 100%. " Can you believe it? He said that he was "awarded the honorary title of Sinologist by China Sinology Research Association." This title is cheaper than a fake diploma, and I have one too.
5. Typing is very tiring, and it takes a lot of time to develop people's wisdom. Put it simply. If you want to go deeper, read more books by yourself. Bless you.
