The culture of divination and blessing has been very popular in China since ancient times. From the early days of the Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all dynasties had special official offices in the court. Their main responsibilities were to observe astronomy and geography, and to deduce calendar solar terms. , offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, etc. From the Taichang Office in the Qin, Han, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Secretariat Province in the Sui Dynasty, and the Taishi Bureau in the Tang Dynasty, it was later changed to Si Tiantai, and Si Tianjian in the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the name was continued and divided into Si Tianjian. Tianjian and Qintianjian are subordinate to Qintianjian.
"The prisoner was ordered to lead out of the atrium and look up at the sky." This shows that the status of the Qintian Prison is very important. Due to the attention of ancient emperors, the influence of divination culture slowly spread to the Chinese people and had a profound impact on surrounding countries, which is called Chinese metaphysics. In China, metaphysics is gradually becoming known to everyone. Among them, divination culture is the most easily accepted by the world, and many professions have gradually emerged. Some people specialize in helping people predict good and bad luck, and are also called fortune tellers in modern times.
1. Divination Culture
Chinese metaphysics is also called Chinese divination. Tai Chi, Bagua, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Five Elements and Bagua, mutual growth and mutual restraint, etc. in traditional Chinese culture were not originally intended for divination. What emerged was somewhat similar to the current philosophical outlook at that time. Later, it evolved into a method used to predict and determine the good or bad future. Until modern times, experts have devoted themselves to studying these ancient cultures and deduced a lot of scientific knowledge from them, including great knowledge. The basis of divination is the "Book of Changes" and "Shu Shu". The "Book of Changes" is calculated based on Tai Chi and Bagua, and the "Shu Shu" is calculated based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Divination comes from the "Book of Changes" and "Shu Shu", using the calculation foundations of the two schools, and has derived such things as Liuyao, Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui and so on.
2. Fortune-tellers
Fortune-tellers were called sorcerers in ancient China. Usually it is used for divination to help others seek good luck and avoid bad luck. There are many famous warlocks in China who are also called alchemists, such as: Zhang Tianshi, Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, Gui Guzi, etc. They are real historical figures, and they are also resourceful and can predict good and bad luck. However, in novels, they are described as being able to control the wind and rain, and borrow the east wind. Somewhat exaggerated. According to historical records, most of the ancient writers and educators were proficient in divination. If you want to be proficient in divination, you need to study the "Book of Changes" and "Shu Shu" in depth, as well as have rich experience and life experience. Only in this way can he be known among the many diviners, become the master of that era, and become "everyone".
Due to the special status of diviners in China since ancient times, and influenced by the divination culture, the divination industry has a mass base among the people, so there are many people engaged in the divination industry. This has resulted in a situation where “the good and the bad are mixed, the good and the bad are mixed.” Some people are opportunistic and do not study the "Book of Changes" and "Shu Shu". Instead, they specialize in learning the techniques of deceiving people. They are eloquent and use their speaking skills to "make tricks" for the deceived. This is why the fortune teller does not recognize you. But do you know how many people are in your family? The principle is simple and unbelievable. They just find clues in the words revealed by the fortune teller, speculate on the psychology of the fortune teller, and use the revealed information to simply judge the basic situation of the fortune teller. They are not solving people's doubts, but for To defraud money for personal gain. It is the existence of these people that makes divination misunderstood by some people.
3. Principles of divination
There are many taboos for fortune-tellers. Each fortune-teller has his own principles. According to ancient literature, the rules for divination are: do not divination if you are not sincere. , Don’t take advantage of things that are not right, don’t take advantage of them if you don’t have doubts, and don’t take advantage of things that are illegal. In ancient times, there was a custom of fasting and bathing before divination to show sincerity. Pay attention to the integrity of your heart and sincerity. Whenever you need divination, you need to do your best first. When people are not qualified, go to divination to get the answer. People who violate the laws of the world cannot do divination, and they cannot escape the prescribed punishment if they do divination.
Is divination accurate? Some experts once said that the accuracy of divination is "infinitely close". Because nothing is 100% perfect. The same is true for diviners. Only through unremitting study and enhanced experience can the accuracy of their fortune-telling be close to perfect.
Chinese divination still has great credibility. It can be seen from the major divination events that have occurred since ancient times. The conclusions drawn from divination in these major events are basically correct.
In life, we should not let the words of fortune tellers influence our thoughts and behaviors. We do not encourage everyone to blindly believe in fortune telling, but if you have already done the calculation, then if the result is good, you should treat it as Encouragement for life, keep working hard.
