What is the name of the ancient stall fortune-telling

The ancient practice of fortune-telling is called "fortune-telling in stalls".

Telling fortunes in stalls is an ancient Chinese folk traditional culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. This way usually refers to the streets and alleys or temple fairs and other places, set up a small stall, by the fortune-teller through fortune-telling, reading the phase, etc., for passers-by to provide divination and prediction services. According to historical records, fortune-telling in stalls can be traced back to the Warring States period, and was already very popular in the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Tang and Song dynasties, fortune-telling in stalls became even more of a fad and was widely circulated and applied.

While fortune-telling was widely used and recognized in ancient times, in modern society, with the development of science and technology and the change of people's mindset, more and more people have begun to question the authenticity and scientificity of fortune-telling. Therefore, when conducting fortune-telling activities, it is necessary to comply with laws, regulations and ethical codes, and not to use this method to deceive others or spread rumors, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and social stability.
