Fortune-telling history _ historical fortune teller
Numerology, commonly known as fortune telling, is also called pushing four pillars or criticizing eight characters. On his birthday, heavenly stems and earthly branches cooperated. Based on the Book of Changes, the knowledge of predicting a person's good or bad luck in his life is based on the restraint of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. So, what is the origin of the four pillars?
Origin numerology originated from the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. In ancient times, faced with many puzzles and uncertainties about the future, people naturally tried to find a way to control their own destiny, so there was a hotbed of numerology. Before the Han Dynasty, people only told fortune according to the five elements, which meant the year of life. For example, Jia Zi and Ye Chou gave birth to Jin Ming, while Bing Yin and Ding Mao gave birth to life fire. This is a thick-line fortune-telling method and the embryonic state of numerology.
It was not until the Han Dynasty that fortune-telling methods based on Yin-Yang, Five Elements and heavenly stems and earthly branches appeared, and there was no time at this time. This fortune-telling method existed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was not established until the Tang Dynasty. Li, a native of Tang Dynasty, is an important figure in the history of numerology. He inherited the imperial history from the official to the temple and was proficient in the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. His three-column six-character fortune-telling based on the date of a person's birth was very famous at that time. Later generations regarded Li as the originator of numerology.
At the end of the Five Dynasties and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Mr. Wang further developed and perfected Li's numerology. He added an hour to the year, month and day, and changed it from three pillars and six characters to four pillars and eight characters, which made it more accurate to judge people's fate. This is a leap in the history of numerology. At this point, numerology has officially entered a relatively mature and complete stage. Mr Xu's Yuan Hai Zi Ping is an important book on numerology.
Introduction to the four pillars of science
Four-pillar and four-pillar forecasting is the crystallization of the wisdom of our people, and 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 forecasters. A large number of practices at home and abroad have proved that the four-column prediction not only has unique and magical functions of advanced prediction and advanced reflection, 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, four-column prediction is science, not what? Feudal superstition is dialectical materialism, isn't it? Idealism? . Some people say that they control their own destiny. This statement is essentially correct, but it must be based on predicting one's own destiny. If you don't know your own destiny, but want to control your own destiny, it's just empty talk and self-deception. The essence of our prediction is based on the change of yin and yang, the restraint of five elements, and the time of birth. It is a subject that teaches people to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
This method of life measurement is based on astrology because it evolved from ancient astrology. The ancients believed that heaven and earth corresponded. The geographical distribution of Kyushu corresponds to the stars, and all beings correspond to the stars. The gold, wood, water, fire and earth that make up the world also correspond to Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn in the sky. The sun represents yang and the moon represents yin, so the theory of yin-yang and five elements is combined with astrology. Man's fate is controlled by the five elements of astrology. Different people have different astrological elements, so their fate is different. The four pillars are composed of heavenly stems and earthly branches, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Four Seasons, Zodiac, Stars and Gods and their relationships.
