What does 42 sign mean?

42-sign is a traditional way of divination, which has a long history in China. It provides people with guidance and information to predict the future through the extraction and interpretation of paper or sticks. There is a poem written on each sign, and the information expressed in the poem can make people have a deeper understanding and enlightenment on a certain issue. The 42-sign is regarded as a spiritual folk cultural heritage and widely used in Chinese society.

As a form of divination, the 42-sign can not only be used to explore future information, but also help people to sort out their ideas, solve problems and enhance their beliefs. There are philosophical thoughts behind it, such as "Taoism is natural", "innate virtue" and "harmony between heaven and earth", which make people gradually realize their infinite connection with nature, and then realize that there are infinite connections and dependencies between people. The meaning of this is far-reaching, beyond the simple meaning of divination.

The 42-sign was originally invented as a tool for prayer, divination and questioning Buddha. Later, with the spread of folklore, it gradually became an easy-to-understand cultural form. Nowadays, many 42-sign related products can be seen in the market: divination software, tarot cards, etc., all of which contain the functions of divination and entertainment. However, some traditional 42-sign colleges still exist, and these colleges usually have an old master who is proficient in 42-sign to answer people's questions. This traditional way of using 42-sign is more strict and standardized, which requires certain etiquette and skills, and is an important aspect of inheriting Chinese culture.
