    Because no matter whether the results of fortune telling are true or not, but at least people can know their future fortunes and trends, people are always full of fear of the unknown mysteries of the future, if you can know in advance what good luck and disasters this can be relieved! <>

    My mother was a very superstitious person, and she used fortune tellers to tell me when I was very young. Marriage and fortune are calculated, and she said that my name is calculated by fortune tellers. She felt that although she couldn't trust such a thing as fortune-telling, she should at least be prepared.

    Knowing that something bad will happen in the near future, maybe she can avoid it if she is mentally prepared? In fact, I think that people who like fortune telling are generally people who are not happy with their lives, so they pin all their hopes on those unwarranted fortune-telling results, and only in this way will they have some expectations for life. The Chinese are idealists a lot, pinning everything on fantasy and psychology.

    Most foreign people are materialistic, and if they can't come up with real evidence, they won't believe in the existence of fortune-telling, so it's mainly a matter of concepts left over from thousands of years.

    I don't know if fortune telling works, but if I have seven days to understand him, I can speculate about the general situation of his life (rich and poor have different temperaments, family upbringing, behavioral habits, and ways of thinking, and the general situation can be seen). Fortune-telling should be the experience accumulated from generation to generation, and this skill is used to deal with people, not to change luck. There are a thousand kinds of people, just like a thousand kinds of trees, poplars grow fast but cannot bear fruit, and peach trees do not grow tall but can bear fruit.

    You may not be able to change the fate of others, but you can find a good backer.

    Fortune telling occupies a very important place in traditional Chinese culture, classified under Feng Shui, and is still sought after by many people. In the fortune-telling industry, there is a very technical term called "Flowing Year". In fact, the passing year in Chinese feng shui refers to the constant change of people's feng shui fortunes.

    As the name suggests, flow means flow, and year symbolizes time, measured in years. Together, the word "passing year" represents the change of time. That is to say, with the change of time, people's feng shui fortunes are also constantly changing.

    When a person feels bad luck or encounters something bad, he will also feel that the passing year is unfavorable, which is what he wants to express.

    When the Chinese calculate the flow year, they mainly calculate it according to the Ganzhi chronology method. First of all, by analyzing a person's Ganzhi calendar birthday, the person's birth date is calculated, and the person's birth date and time are represented by eight characters. Then, by calculating the position of this person's eight characters in the innate five elements, filial piety and the mutual changes and connections of its four pillars, the fate of this person is calculated.

    By analyzing the person's overall eight characters, we can know when the person is lucky and when he is unlucky. You will also be able to know when this person is not profitable.

    The ancients believed that everything in the universe has a magnetic field, and the magnetic field and the magnetic field can also be connected and interacted. By calculating, people can know when they are lucky and when they are unlucky. In order to circumvent it, it can effectively avoid the evil qi brought by the passing years.

    Of course, a person's fortune is affected by the congenital, but also by the influence of the acquired, even if a person's congenital fortune is not good, and he does more good deeds in reality, his fortune will be better.

    These are some explanations of the term "flowing year" in Feng Shui. As a person in a modern civilized society, our attitude towards Feng Shui should be objective. In a scientific society, we should face the people and things we encounter in life with a scientific attitude, maintain our rationality, adjust our mentality, give full play to our subjective initiative, and actively face work and life.

    In real life, some people believe in fortune and think that fortune telling is "very accurate".

    Why do some people think that fortune telling is "very accurate"? There are certain objective psychological mechanisms at work here.

    1. Barnum effect: Psychological research shows that it is easy for people to believe in a general, general description of personality and think that this description is particularly suitable for themselves, and this psychological tendency is called the "Barnum effect" in psychology.

    For example, an innocuous quote from a fortune teller will often convince the person who asks for help, but these words are suitable for most people.

    2. Selectivity of perception: The human brain always selectively takes the latest and most curious things in the surrounding environment as the object of perception, and this phenomenon is called the selectivity of perception.

    In the process of fortune telling, the fortune teller will make bold ** about the future of the individual, if it is true, people will say that fortune telling is really spiritual; If it is not accurate, people will say that the fortune teller is not at home.

    In fact, spirituality and non-spirituality are the result of people selectively perceiving those mysterious events with small probabilities and generalizing them in a partial way.

    3. Psychological suggestion: Most people who go to fortune telling are in the hesitation of life, and they need to enhance their self-confidence by obtaining the affirmation of others, so as to obtain strong spiritual support.

    At this time, the fortune teller actually uses psychological cues to motivate the person in the middle of the journey and meet his psychological expectations.

    The reason why people believe in the adage "fate" is that many things are unclear, both reasonable and unexpected. In this helpless situation, people can only explain it with "fate". In fact, "destined" is not superstition, but talks about the inevitability of a causal relationship.

    Who could have predicted their future? It can be said that there is none. However, some people are famous and profitable; Some people have no name and no profit, and their lives are dull; Some people have become human sinners and so on. For these situations, people can't explain clearly, so they can only annotate them with "fate".

    This "fate" should refer to opportunities and opportunities, and it is a truth of change.

    For example, marriage. Whoever marries whom, people will say that this is due to blind and generous reputation; Whoever can't marry whom, people will say that fate is not enough; Who divorced whom, people will say that fate ends here, etc., and people use "fate" to explain what happened in marriage.

    In fact, whether it is married, unmarried, or divorced after marriage, there is a reason for this. Marriage is due to the love of both men and women, and the family is equal; If you don't get married, it is because of improper doors, wrong households, discordant personalities and tempers between men and women; Divorce after marriage is due to the inconsistency of the temperament of the two people after marriage, the disharmony of the husband and wife's life, and the obstacle of the family environment. For all the changes that happen before and after marriage, there is a reason, which is caused by a series of results, such as success and failure, success and failure, etc., which is what we often call cause and effect.

    However, in terms of understanding and handling this matter, no one wants to offend people, and when persuasion is ineffective, they can only say to the outside world: they (she) are "destined".

    To sum up, I think that "fate" is a pronoun for the existence of objective cause and effect, and the grinding section is not fortune telling. In general, it is an exclamation after an incident when people are unable to tell the merits. From this perspective, I believe in the word "predestined".

    Friends who often watch Chinese TV dramas can easily find that there is often a character in TV dramas, that is, a fortune teller, Mr. Villager is either wearing a robe or a pony coat, or wearing sunglasses, most of them are blind, so we often call fortune tellers blind fortune tellers. It seems that if you are blind, fortune telling is more accurate.

    So are these so-called fortune tellers really accurate? I don't think it's true, no one can calculate fate, who can go against fate? Fate is ethereal, and it is difficult for us to make a ** to himNot to mention that it is simply impossible to calculate it.

    But there are many people who say that there will be some fortune tellers who are more accurate, why is that?

    In fact, fortune tellers are very observant and talkative peopleHe observes some details of you, or figurs out some of the meanings in your words, to set your words, that is, through the words, step by step to make you feel that he is very accurateactually believed that he gave him money, in fact, this is a kind of rhetoric, not fortune telling.

    There are also people who go to the fortune teller, not to calculate something, but to worry and have doubts in their hearts, he wants to go to the fortune teller to give himself a psychological comfortIf the fortune teller tells him the answer he wants, then he will feel a little better, but I think it's more of a psychological comfort, which is far from the essence of fortune telling.

    Everyone should believe in themselves, don't believe in fortune telling, if you want to get something or what you want to do, then rely on your own ability and your own efforts, if you do it, then you will eventually achieve your goals, butIf you rely too much on a fortune teller to do it for you, it must be very unreliable.

    Question: A person's birth date is calculated by two lay people who can tell fortunes, but two different fates are calculated. What do you think of fortune telling? Is fate predestined, or is it in your own hands?

    Fan is Yuan Xuehai, and later changed to Mr. Fan. He met Mr. Kong and calculated his fate very accurately, what year to do and what year to do......, and then he thought that his fate had been decided, so he was passive and inactive. Later, when he met the Zen master of Yungu and told him about life-making, he suddenly woke up:

    It turns out that the fate of the funny coincidence can still be changed. So, there is no need for a person to go to fortune telling.

    This fate, even if your original life is not very good, you are ashamed, change your mentality, change your behavior, and it will gradually become better; In other words, your original life is good, and your mental skills are becoming more and more wrong, and your good life will become a bad life. Everything turns back from the heart, and this is the truth of Buddhism. What will change, what are we going to do with it?

    Your destiny is in your own hands, and if you have good intentions, say good things, and do good deeds, your destiny will get better and better. Life, good life and bad life are all things in a dream, orange fingers are all false, we should recite the Buddha well, and go to the Elysium to be a great enlightened person, which is our best goal.
