Is horoscope fortune telling science or superstition?

First, the history and introduction of fortune telling

Fortune-telling is one of the earliest themes in China traditional culture. From the late primitive society, the ancients developed from graphic divination to later gossip, and then to the approval of eight characters, palm reading, facial expressions and so on. Only after the baptism of big waves and sand washing, has the science of fortune-telling been continuously improved. As fortune-telling has not been officially listed in textbooks, it has been handed down from generation to generation from ancient times, from master to apprentice, which leads to most people being outsiders. In the eyes of most people, fortune telling is just. Because the ancestral tradition is not open to the outside world, teachers and apprentices often keep one hand and other reasons. As a result, some folk fortune-telling practitioners have a little knowledge of their own forecasting techniques, and even many of them have only a little knowledge, fishing in troubled waters in the fortune-telling industry under the banner of fortune-telling. Of course, the consequences are inaccurate calculation, random calculation, blind calculation and so on. It has caused many foreigners to misunderstand fortune telling, so many foreigners will ask, "Is fortune telling a science or a superstition? Is it credible? Is there a basis? " In fact, fortune-telling is not only based on this knowledge, but also a considerable number of fortune-telling books that have been circulated for thousands of years in ancient times, which can be said to be the treasures of fortune-telling, but many people have not studied them.

Second, the reliable basis for fortune telling

For example, Sansheng Zonghui written by Ming scholar Wan, Shenfeng Zongkao written by Ming dynasty, Yuan Haiziping written by Song dynasty on the basis of predecessors' achievements in the East China Sea, and Collection of Poor Generals written by Yu Chuntai in Qing dynasty, etc. During the Daoguang period, scholars have studied the iron bridge for decades, and added notes and explanations in different chapters. Moreover, it is made with time and life and verified with examples. People are scrambling to regard it as a blueprint, explore the yin and yang of heaven and earth, calculate the five elements and eight characters, and ask for good or bad luck. They are all classic books in numerology and fortune-telling, handed down from generation to generation, and are the enduring basis for fortune-telling.

Third, the case introduces the reliable basis of fortune telling

Many outsiders may also ask, although there are many fortune-telling books, how is the basis of fortune-telling linked to practice? This can be extended from books to actual cases. Take Yuan Haiziping as an example. Eight-character fortune-telling first looks at the monthly order, and then discusses the financial officer.

For example: Gregorian calendar1male life born on March 9, 949.

Eight characters: self-ugliness, Ding Mao, Wuxu, Ding Si

According to the theoretical basis of Yuan Haiziping's fortune-telling, the eight-character yen was born in Uzuki and the soil in Wang Mu is weak, but the eight-character yen is rich in soil, and the fire is stronger, and the intensity is still greater than that in the month. Eight-character yen robs one's own soil, ugly soil robs money, ding huo seals the moon, and wood supports the moon. At the same time, the underground branch and the underground stem should also be analyzed together. For example, in Nianzhi, in addition to rusticity, there are Jin Xin, Japan Branch, Jin Xin and Ding Huo, who are hiding wounded officials. In the present branch, Geng Jin, the god of food, is hidden.

In this way, the ten gods, such as the eight-character monthly order and the financial official printing grain, have been analyzed. The next step is to judge wealth and marriage.

1, Wealth: The Eight-character Yen Hundred Days of Reform took the hidden water in the ugly years as the positive wealth, and the Yen Hundred Days of Reform could use the wealth to make money. People who spend their wealth on their health are rich, not to mention that wealth should be hidden and not revealed, and if it is hidden, it will be rich, and if it is exposed, it will be robbed. The water in the eight characters is ugly. He must be a rich man. The Universiade only needs to make a fortune, and the sea water is partial to wealth, which is good luck to make a fortune.

2. Marriage: On the eighth day, the hidden water in the ugliness of the year is the positive wealth, and the man's life is the wife of the eight characters, which shows that the wife of the eight characters is good and has good ability. However, the marriage between men and women is heartless and has no feelings for their wives, or emotional marriage is based on the supremacy of interests. Sitting on the eight-character day is better than robbing.

3, career: eight months make the official prosperous, and the yen can be a financial official. There is fame in life, but the official stars in the game are not obvious. In the year of supporting Japan, the officials were injured and the officials were injured. It's just a little expensive

Fourth, whether fortune telling is credible and matters needing attention

From the above analysis, we can see that the credibility of fortune telling is also based on whether the fortune-telling practitioners you meet are proficient in learning and can really guide people and solve problems.
