Many people firmly believe that fortune-telling is a lie. Apart from still not getting rid of the influence of their education, they think that fortune-telling is feudal superstition and pseudoscience. In addition, people may have had their lives calculated, but the results show that it is not accurate. In fact, it is completely normal that fortune-telling is not accurate. In the streets and lanes, you can often see some fortune tellers who spread a piece of paper in front of them, painted with Tai Chi pictures, accompanied by the words "Zhouyi prediction" and "Four-pillar prediction", which are very mysterious. But nine times out of ten, these people only know some very simple algorithms, as well as some uncomplicated knowledge of faces and palms, plus the ability to read and speak eloquently. If they are allowed to calculate, how accurate can they be? Of course, there are some who really know the four pillars or Zhouyi, but how many real masters can you meet by chance? However, it is not surprising that even real masters are sometimes inaccurate. Western medicine is the product of modern science, but no western medicine can be 1% effective. Generally speaking, it is good that the effective rate can reach 7% to 8%. The same cold medicine, some people take it immediately, while others may basically have no effect, but we can't say that this medicine is fake. Medicine belongs to natural science, and Yijing belongs to social science. Natural science is far more accurate than social science, and it is much simpler to use. It is good that the effective rate of general drugs can reach 7% to 8%. Then, why should we have higher expectations for the accuracy of measuring fate? As for the accuracy of fortune-telling, the first-rate fortune-teller can only calculate the accuracy of 7% to 8% from ancient times to today. Some people may say: the most accurate can only be counted as 8% accurate, so what is the accuracy! It depends on what it is. For example, it is not worth mentioning whether it is a man or a woman, because random tests will have a 5% accuracy rate! However, it is surprising that a person's children are adopted, that a person has a mole in a precise part of his body, that a person moved home, that a person died, that he was promoted, that he became rich, and so on. However, some people may ask: Why can't fortune-telling be 1% accurate? To measure the fate of a person's life, the more practical and relatively accurate fortune-telling techniques such as Sizhu and Ziwei are all based on the time of birth (Sizhu is the date of birth expressed by the stem, which is called Nianzhu, Yuezhu, Rizhu and Shizhu respectively, and each column is combined with the word heavenly stems and earthly branches, so it is also called horoscope). If fortune-telling can be 1% accurate, it means that people with the same birth time will have their fate completely. But it's impossible. I don't know how many people were born at the same time in the same month, ancient and modern, at home and abroad, but how many people have exactly the same achievements, talents and experiences? "Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges." The same seeds and the same life genes may grow into quite different life forms in different environments. Similarly, different family environment, social environment and natural environment may bring different influences and changes to a person's innate destiny. In the eyes of the ancients, the secret of a person's destiny lies in his birthdates. However, because of the influence of different environments the day after tomorrow, there are the same people in birthdates, but their actual destiny may be different in many aspects. For example, there are three people who are exactly the same in birthdates, one who lives in Beijing now, and the other who lives in Beijing. According to the result of fortune-telling, the owner of this horoscope should have three children, but in fact, only the person in Hong Kong has three children, the person in Beijing has only one child because of the family planning practice in the mainland, and the person in the Stone Age has no children of his own because of the group marriage system at that time. In addition, a person's birthdates is determined at the moment when he is born, while the genes inherited from his parents should be determined at the moment when his mother is pregnant. Therefore, birthdates can't include the influence of parents' inheritance, but what is certain is that people's genes inherited from their parents will inevitably have a great influence on people's fate, so that people with the same eight characters will inevitably have different fates.
