Why does Taiwan Province study geomantic numerology so much?

Let's start with the metaphysical theme. If metaphysics is regarded as a first-class discipline, there have been five two disciplines in metaphysics since ancient times, namely, mountain, medicine, life, physiology and divination, that is, practice, traditional Chinese medicine, numerology, physiognomy and divination. With the development of history, the division of the five two disciplines has not changed, but gradually subdivided, adding some tertiary disciplines. For example, the mysterious flying star that everyone often hears now is a Feng Shui discipline born in the Qing Dynasty. Strictly speaking, it should be a level 4 or 5 subject.

Back to the principle, mountain art (practice) comes first, and there is a reason. First of all, because practice is the foundation of metaphysics, the application of various skills needs the support of practice, otherwise it will be inaccurate, difficult to last, or unable to escape the consequences; Secondly, metaphysics is a discipline that studies the world, and its method is to establish many models to analyze the perception of the world by practicing internal evidence and observing and testing. I'll explain the rest of the techniques slowly.

Chinese medicine ranks second because it is a good deed. Whether you believe in reincarnation or karma, most people should believe in karma. There is always a result in doing one thing, and good is rewarded with good and evil with evil. Let's not talk about the boundaries between good and evil for the time being, but as doctors, most of them are good causes and good results. Some people may say, isn't it easy to do good? Can you rank second in metaphysics by doing something good? It's not that simple. First of all, it is difficult to do good. Think about how many good things you can do in a day.

Doctors, it's normal to see more than 100 people every day, even if it only removes the pain of dozens of people, it's good. Therefore, Chinese medicine ranks second, because it can grow and accumulate good fruits. This is not simple. Secondly, this beautiful cause is difficult. Chinese medicine practitioners are exposed to too much pathogenic gas, and their bones are easily damaged. This is different from western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine needs to interact with the patient's spirit, while pulse diagnosis needs to contact with the patient's body. If scraping, cupping, massage and acupuncture are used, it is even more inevitable to accept the patient's condition. Therefore, there is a saying in the hospital, "What kind of doctor gets what disease". I am a medical student. I'll say a few more words here. The way to avoid the infection of evil spirits is to practice, which also embodies the principle of giving priority to mountain art.
