The origin of fortune-telling
According to the Voice of China News Night, fortune-telling began in the pre-Qin Dynasty. When the ancient Egyptians kept notes with papyrus and the ancient Babylonians used clay tablets as books, the ancient people in China chopped bamboo into sticks, thinned them, polished them, roasted them with fire, and wrote the most vivid historical facts on bamboo slips for future generations. The eight-character fortune-telling technique, with only six characters at that time, namely three pillars, was founded by Li Xuzhong, and it was arranged with heavenly stems and earthly branches on the date, month and day of birth, and there was no time. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Xu Ziping and the time of birth changed from six characters to eight characters. The development and maturity of "eight-character fortune telling" is a great contribution made by Xu Ziping, so it is also called "Zi Ping Shu". Eight-character fortune-telling is an act of predicting or judging the good or bad fortune of a person by using the eight-character birth character and seeking guidance, also known as fan fortune-telling It is a kind of traditional knowledge of Han nationality that infers people's career, marriage, wealth, study and health according to the theories of Ganzhi calendar, Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and Shen-Sha.

its significance is to help people make preparations and references in advance for possible future events. Not decisive. It plays a supporting role. It is "foresight" rather than "decisiveness". There is no accurate and inaccurate statement, or it can be calculated accurately in the past, and it is terrible! However, people's future is changeable, and foresight is to make people prepare for what may happen in the future.
