What are the methods of fortune telling?

There are many kinds of fortune-telling, and there are mainly ten kinds of fortune-telling methods, namely, fortune-telling, five-element fortune-telling, astrology fortune-telling, astrology fortune-telling, astrology fortune-telling, zodiac fortune-telling, fortune-telling and oriole fortune-telling.

Fortune telling refers to predicting future activities through certain means. For example, the Book of Changes is actually designed for divination. Divination itself has a system to help people explain all kinds of problems they encounter. It's not nonsense, but strict operating procedures. Some people use yarrow as a divination object, while others use bamboo as a medium, which gives people directional enlightenment according to different arrangements.

Five-element fortune-telling refers to a predictive aspect based on China and ancient naive materialism's material view. The so-called five elements refer to gold, wood, water, fire and earth. This is the basic element of nature. According to the principle that the five elements rise and fall, and the five elements coexist and resist each other, people can calculate some operating laws of the universe, nature and human beings. Use it more with gossip.

Fortune telling for cadres and branches is based on the ancient calendar science in China. The so-called "dry branches" refer to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, which respectively represent the growth and extinction laws of all things. The combination of trunk and branch, five elements and Wei Zi's number of fights has become a more systematic divination system. Astrological fortune-telling refers to people linking the changes of star movement with subjective phenomena such as weather phenomena and human activities, and inferring the fate and results of production and life. People call the orbits of planets (planets on the plane of the solar system) ecliptic and divide them into 12 houses. Different houses observe different cosmic astrology, and astrologers can infer the world, major events and people's life trajectories according to the astrology map.

Eight-character fortune-telling is based on the year, month, day and hour of a person's birth, and according to the traditional calculation method, the branches and branches at that time are discharged to form a person's eight-character combination, also called birthdates. It is divided into four parts, namely, the annual column, the moon column, the sun column and the time column. For example, someone was born in a year, a month, noon and a year. In other words, the year column, the moon column, the sun column and the time column are two words. So some people call it four-column fortune telling, also called eight-character fortune telling.

Fortune-telling refers to observing people's appearance, bones or palm prints to judge their fate. The ancients believed that a person's personality, study, marriage and fortune can be seen through five senses, appearance and shape, and palm texture.

China's Zodiac is the crystallization of China ancestors' animal worship, totem worship and early astronomy. Our ancestors got the theory of the zodiac by observing the arrangement of stars in the sky, which can be said to be related to the zodiac in China. Some people say that the posture of the zodiac is related to the ancient characters of the earthly branch, so the zodiac is closely related to the earthly branch. It is not accurate to calculate the fate simply from the zodiac, and it needs to be integrated into other forecasting disciplines.

Fortune-telling by measuring Chinese characters, also known as "fortune-telling by comparing Chinese characters", is a method of divination and is often regarded as superstition. As early as thousands of years ago in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people used Oracle Bone Inscriptions for divination. The divination was based on tortoise shell burning patterns rather than words, but people regarded it as words. Later, the characters evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions were also considered to contain some mysterious power, or contain cardinals of fate, or foretell the will of ghosts and gods. People predict the future good or bad of a person by disassembling the glyphs written by him, and then decide whether to avoid or not.

Fortune-telling is a folk custom in China and a form of divination. At present, Taoist temples, temples and folk temples have mostly placed sign boxes for people to draw and ask for directions. There are all kinds of documents signed, and there are different interpretations according to people's requirements, and their theoretical basis is weak.

Yellowbird fortune telling is that fortune tellers put divination cards in a certain order, and then explain the diviner's marriage, wealth, fortune, fate, future and other results through the pattern marks on the paper according to the cards picked up by yellowbird. This fortune-telling method is easy to be tampered with and its theoretical basis is weak.

Other fortune-telling methods are similar to the above methods.
