Horoscope fortune telling is neither a science nor a superstition. Rather, it is based on experience (or statistics) based on the Chinese worldview.
The theoretical basis of horoscope fortune telling is the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, which is the same as traditional Chinese medicine.
The theory of yin and yang and the five elements is consistent with materialist dialectics. The five elements are matter, and yin and yang are the unity of opposites. The five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, reproducing and reciprocating (that is, the so-called extremes of things must be reversed), which is the negation of quantitative change, qualitative change, and negation. .
The reason why the Yin Yang and Five Elements theory is superstitious is that the Five Elements can be perceived but cannot be scientifically verified or quantified.
But you cannot deny it arbitrarily and unscientifically (without understanding it, and without verifying it after understanding it).
In fact, this reflects the difference in worldview between China and the West. China is macroscopic and comprehensive, while the West is microscopically segmented. It is reasonable to think of the world in general as composed of the five elements. For example, when we distinguish between humans and pigs, we can distinguish them by looking at them as a whole, without having to dissect their cells or genes microscopically like in the West.
In fact, this difference can also be seen in Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese medicine looks at people as a whole, but Western medicine constantly breaks people down into a combination of organs and cells. In fact, the former Sometimes it is more reasonable, because only when the relationship between various organs is weak or non-existent, Western medicine is more reasonable. Otherwise, it is more reasonable to look at it as a complex. After all, a person is not a simple combination of organs.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also needs to be combined with the external environment, personal stage, mental and other conditions, embodying the concept of seeking truth from facts, comprehensiveness and dynamic development. From this aspect it is undoubtedly more reasonable.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
There is no doubt that there are many practices of traditional Chinese medicine, and it has certain definite curative effects.
According to my limited practice, the eight-character fortune telling has a certain accuracy, but it does not meet the scientific requirements.
The reason why it has a certain degree of accuracy is that, in addition to the rationality of the theoretical basis it is based on, there is another basis for it, which is the only ruler of organisms - time, and long-term practice accumulation.
So if you have to look at it from a scientific perspective, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or horoscopes, it can be regarded as a science that has not yet been completed and is in the process of statistics.
Or it can be regarded as another kind of science. Macroscopic comprehensive science, which is different from the microscopic analysis of Western science, can be called "Chinese science". To develop this science, the only way so far seems to be through practice. Statistical and practical verification.
Therefore, it is recommended that the development of traditional Chinese medicine: Before there is a more scientific and reasonable method, use modern technology and the power of the country to conduct statistics. It is not difficult for the country to use big data statistics now. In addition, we should vigorously develop diagnostic instruments suitable for traditional Chinese medicine and try to eliminate subjective judgment.
This should allow for statistical reproducible results that can be scientifically verified. This is based on the fact that the difference in physical signs among the general public is within a certain range, except for a very few. In fact, the common Chinese medicines we all drink are the results of long-term statistics that can be repeatedly verified. By the way, I would like to remind those die-hard TCM fans not to mention the extreme view that one person is the only TCM doctor, because if people’s physical signs are really complicated to the point where everyone has qualitative differences, no medical treatment will be of use! This kind of formulation is a thinking trap that really hinders the development of traditional Chinese medicine. It is just a ridiculous excuse for incompetent people to avoid scientific verification.
For example, when diagnosing the pulse, measuring the strength and frequency of the beat through instruments, it can be summarized as "sink pulse" within a certain range, or it can be further subdivided into "heavy sink", "medium sink", " "Light or heavy", etc., combined with other statistical symptoms, the corresponding statistical formula and quantity can be used. This statistical result is universal, except for individual special physiques.
As can be seen from the above, the so-called "masters" are very few in terms of probability. After all, relying on personal accumulation and judgment, the theoretical accuracy rate is not much higher. Therefore, if you charge high amounts of money in the name of "master", it is really suspected of fraud. And if both parties set prices based on accuracy, and you charge a reasonable fee based on your willingness, it is a normal labor transaction. After all, the person who calculates the horoscopes also has to spend brainpower and time.
As for Baidu, I know that it helps people calculate, but I don’t know about other people. Anyway, I am free.
But what is regrettable is that no one has feedback on whether this free calculation is accurate or not, and few like it or adopt it~~~
These are just reminders. This will dampen people's enthusiasm. In other words, people will not cherish things that are too easy to obtain. On the contrary, those who pretend to be experts and deceive masters are more popular.
Let’s talk about the question of whether fate exists objectively: From a materialist perspective, the answer is yes. For example, if a person is regarded as a smart missile, then its trajectory certainly exists objectively. It’s just that human trajectories are much more complicated. Here it will be better understood if you replace destiny with trajectory.
Those who say "fate is in one's own hands" have unintentionally become idealists, because the so-called "mastery" is nothing more than your own subjective will, not the true "mastery" of objective reality. ” This is an illusion caused by the freedom of spirit due to the superiority of spirit over matter.
But it is not just your own thoughts that determine your personal trajectory (behavioral results). Even your own thoughts and decisions have already been affected by the spirit (concepts) absorbed by your own material decisions and the surrounding forces (such as your growth environment). ). You must know that people are material first, and of course they are not determined by spirit. In other words, you cannot become Einstein just because you want to. As a member of matter, people not only have their own trajectory, but also have their own energy (power), and through this ability they have an effect on the people, property, and things around them. In the same way, the people around them also have their own energy (power). Ability also affects oneself. This makes it obvious that your own trajectory (destiny) will certainly not be decided by you alone!
In fact, the sages who invented fortune-telling should be like today's scientists, in order to explore the human being, because only by understanding her can you change, and the ultimate goal is to control the destiny of human beings. In your own hands, the mastery here is real mastery.
Obviously, human abilities and trajectories are extremely complex. This is due to the complexity of human beings themselves (an intelligent life form, the body is not only matter, but also living matter, plus Intelligence is what constitutes a person) determines. At present, human civilization cannot accurately calculate, let alone traditional Chinese fortune-telling. But Chinese fortune-telling can be used as a reference for empirical studies. In fact, many sciences are also developed from empirical studies.
The most "powerful" quotes from people who doubt the theory of fate:
1. Why do people born at the same time have different destinies? In fact, this only shows that people's understanding of destiny is still very limited. In other words, the current fortune telling is still imperfect. Taking the horoscope fortune-telling based on the Five Elements theory as an example, she only considered the hour, and only the time. As a material person, the specific birth should be at a point in time, and it should have its own spatial form and spatial location, so it is more accurate to calculate its trajectory from this.
2. Why do people born at different times have the same fate? (For example, dying at the same time in a natural disaster) In fact, this shows that people's fate is not decided by themselves, but is affected by the fate (trajectory) of other people and things.
3. If a person is lucky, will a pie fall from the sky? In fact, this assumption itself is not valid, because there is no static destiny (horoscope) in this world, that is, there are no immovable people. In addition, according to personal experience, people with good fortune will not have lazy horoscopes.
I would like to advise you by the way: Please treat non-science with a scientific attitude, that is, do not take it for granted in areas that you do not understand, because you are not qualified. If you really want to judge, please first After understanding and verifying, let the data speak for itself. ?
Finally, let’s define the scientific term “fate science”:
Fate science should be a study of human energy (quantity) and how it passes through The knowledge of the interaction between the ability and the things around you and the interrelationship with the things around you. Human abilities include not only those between matter (such as gravity), but also those between spirit and matter and spirit and spirit (tentatively called "billion gravitation" and "trillion gravitation"). ?Of course, it is obvious that the fate I mentioned here is different from the fate of traditional fortune telling.
Additional answer to a question: Can fate be changed?
From a materialist point of view, it cannot be changed at present. Because humans are currently unable to change the material basis of their own genes. So the so-called "masters" who can help you change your luck are basically liars.
