Explain this sentence comprehensively from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism culture: life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky. Fate is determined by heaven, luck can be changed, and feng shui does not go against nature. These are all external forces. What people can decide is to accumulate good deeds, learn culture, learn to be a man, and learn holy books.
Life: Life is predestined.
Principle: Time is the most important factor that determines things. Time and space determine the essence of things.
In ancient times, people were divided into four occupations, namely, "scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce". In the past, the status of scholars was the highest, but in order to gain social status, scholars had to take exams, and only after passing the exams could they be called scholars. Learning can be an official, and being an official can be prosperous. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the only way out for ordinary people to be an official is the imperial examination, so there is a saying that "after ten years of cold window, no one asked, once they became famous all over the world." At that time, scholars often said that "one life, two fortunes, three geomantic omen, four virtues and five studies". Said that these five things must be possessed in order to be admitted. You shouldn't be beaten if you don't pass the exam. Wang Chong, a great scholar in Han Dynasty, opposed superstition and didn't believe in ghosts and gods all his life, but he insisted that "fate" existed objectively and that a person's fate was predestined by heaven. "Life must do something sometimes, and there is no need to force it all the time."
What China people call "destiny" is just a person's "eight characters". According to your date of birth, it is converted into "heavenly stems and earthly branches", a total of eight words. According to these eight words, we can calculate the honor and disgrace, wealth and death of a person's life.
Modern people, if they want to be officials, have to take the university exam and take the civil service exam, just like in ancient times. However, the criteria for judging successful life in today's society have changed. Let's watch the money together. If you have money, you have status and you will be respected. No matter what industry you are in, you are likely to achieve the so-called "success". However, you don't pay attention to other factors in your destiny, such as health, longevity, honor, disaster-free and so on. Unfortunately, many dignitaries and rich stars have short lives despite their boastful wealth.
However, in any case, a person's fate is doomed from the day of birth, and we can predict this person's life trajectory in advance with the help of eight-character analysis.
