The theoretical basis of eight-character fortune telling is the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, which is the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine.
The theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is consistent with materialist dialectics. The five elements are matter, and Yin-Yang is unity of opposites. The so-called opposites between the five elements are quantitative change, qualitative change and negation of negation.
The reason why the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is superstitious is that the five elements can be perceived but cannot be scientifically verified or quantified.
but you can't deny it arbitrarily and unscientifically (if you don't understand it, if you understand it, you don't verify it).
in fact, this reflects the difference between Chinese and western world views. China is macroscopically comprehensive, while the west is microscopically subdivided. It is also reasonable to regard the world as composed of five elements in general. For example, when we distinguish people from pigs, we can distinguish them as a whole, without dissecting their cells or genes in a microscopic way as in the West.
In fact, we can see the difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine. Chinese medicine regards people as a whole, while western medicine constantly decomposes people into a combination of organ cells. In fact, the former is sometimes more reasonable, because western medicine is more reasonable only when the relationship between organs is weak or absent, otherwise, it is more reasonable as a complex. After all, people are not a simple organ combination.
practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
There is no doubt that there is a lot of practice of Chinese medicine, and it has certain exact curative effect.
According to my limited practice, eight-character fortune-telling has a certain accuracy, but it can't reach the height of scientific requirements.
besides the rationality of the theoretical basis, there is another reason why there is a certain accuracy, which is based on the unique scale of organisms-time and long-term practice accumulation.
So if we have to look at it from a scientific point of view, regardless of Chinese medicine or eight characters, we can regard it as a learning that has not yet completed statistics.
Or as another kind of science, which is different from the micro-analysis of western science, it can be called "China Science". However, to develop this science, the methods so far seem to be only verified by practical statistics and practice.
Therefore, it is suggested that the development of Chinese medicine: before there is a more scientific and reasonable method, statistics should be made by modern science and technology and the strength of the country. It is not difficult for the country to use big data statistics now.
this should be able to count repeated results that can pass scientific verification. This is based on the fact that the physical signs of the public are different within a certain range, except for a few. In fact, the common Chinese medicines that we usually drink are the results of long-term statistics and repeatable verification. By the way, remind those iron fans of Chinese medicine not to mention the extreme view that one person is a Chinese medicine, because if the physical signs of people are really complicated to the point where everyone has a qualitative difference, any medicine is useless! This formulation is a trap that really hinders the development of traditional Chinese medicine, but it is just a ridiculous excuse for the incompetent to escape scientific verification.
for example, pulse-taking, by measuring the beating strength and frequency with instruments, can be summarized as "heavy pulse" in a certain range, or can be further subdivided into "heavy pulse", "moderate pulse" and "light pulse", etc., and combined with other statistical symptoms, the corresponding statistical formula and volume can be used. And this statistical result is universal, except for some special constitutions.
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 accuracy rate is not much higher in theory. Therefore, if you arbitrarily charge high fees in the name of "master", it is suspected of fraud. And if the two sides set the price according to the accuracy, and you charge reasonably, it is a normal labor transaction. After all, people who count the eight characters also have to pay their brains and time.
Baidu knows that it helps people calculate here, but I don't know about others. Anyway, I am free.
unfortunately, this kind of free measurement is not accurate or not, and few people like it or adopt it. ~ ~
It is said that this is to remind people who want to measure, which will dampen people's enthusiasm. Or things that are too easy to get will not be cherished, but those who pretend to be masters are more popular.
Let's talk about whether fate exists objectively: from the materialistic point of view, the answer is yes. For example, if people are regarded as an intelligent missile, its trajectory certainly exists objectively. It's just that the trajectory of people is much more complicated. It will be better understood if you change fate into trajectory here.
People who say that "fate is in their own hands" inadvertently become idealists, because the so-called "mastery" is just your own subjective will, not the objective and real "mastery". This is the illusion caused by the freedom of spirit because the spirit is higher than the material. But it is not just your own thoughts that determine your personal trajectory (behavior result). Even your own thoughts and decisions have long been influenced by the spirit (ideas) absorbed by your own material decisions and the surrounding forces (such as your growth environment). You know, people are material first, of course, they will not be determined by the spirit, that is to say, you can't become Einstein if you want to. Man, as a member of matter, not only has his own trajectory, but also has his own energy (quantity) and force (quantity), and through this ability, he has an effect on people, money and things around him. Similarly, the ability of people around him will also affect himself. Obviously, your own trajectory (destiny) will certainly not be your own decision!
In fact, the sages who invented fortune-telling should, like scientists today, try to find out about people themselves, because only by knowing her can you change, and the ultimate goal is to take your destiny into human hands, where mastery is real mastery.
obviously, people's ability and trajectory are extremely complicated, which is determined by the complexity of people themselves (an intelligent life, the body is not only a matter, but also a living matter, and intelligence is added to form a person). At present, human civilization cannot be accurately calculated, not to mention China's traditional fortune telling. However, China's fortune-telling can be used as an empirical study for reference. In fact, many sciences have also developed from empirical study.
People who doubt the fate theory are the most powerful:
1. Why do people born at the same time have different fates? In fact, this only shows that people's understanding of fate is still very limited, in other words, the current fortune-telling is still not perfect. Take the eight-character fortune-telling based on the five elements theory, she only considers the time and only considers the time. As a matter, the concrete generation of human beings should be a moment, and it has its own spatial form and position, so it is more accurate to calculate its trajectory.
2. Why don't people born at the same time 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 their own decision, but is influenced by the fate (trajectory) of other people and things.
3. If one counts one's good fortune, when will the pie fall in the morning? In fact, this assumption itself is untenable, because there is no static fate (eight characters) in this world, that is, there are no motionless people. In addition, according to personal experience, people who are lucky will not have a lazy character.
By the way, I would like to advise you: Please treat non-science with a scientific attitude, that is, don't take it for granted to judge areas you don't know, because you are not qualified. If you really want to judge, please understand and verify them first and then speak with data. ?
Finally, make a definition of the scientific term "Fatology":
Fatology should be a study of human energy (quantity), as well as its interaction with and relationship with surrounding things through its abilities. Man's ability includes both between things (such as gravity) and between spirit and matter, and between spirit and spirit (temporarily called "1 million gravity" and "trillion gravity"). ? Of course, it is obvious that the fate I mentioned here is different from the fate of traditional fortune telling.
Answer a supplementary question: Can fate be changed?
from a materialistic point of view, it cannot be changed at present. Because at present, human beings can't change the material basis of their genes. So the so-called "master" who can help you change your fortune is basically a liar.
