However, since the Warring States period, China people began to pay attention to winning by "strangeness", so this set of rules naturally could not be continued. However, there are still some superstitious sayings about "the result of the war", which was unknown before the war. For example, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that the handsome flagpole broken before the war was considered as a sign of defeat, and there was a story that Pang Tong felt unlucky when he met Phoenix Slope. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong had to worship before the naval battle to pray for God's blessing, and so on. All these superstitions were deeply rooted. Of course, these superstitions are used by the active side to go to war. If the passive side is fighting temporarily, there is no need to talk about predictions.
