Why can people's fate be "calculated"
Wen/Cambridge Yi Xue is really interesting. You can see a person's fortune in eight words, which is so magical and strange that people can't help but wonder: Is Zhouyi superstitious? Why can a person's fate be calculated by a few words? Is it psychological comfort for fortune tellers to do it under the banner of Zhouyi? Is the meaning and utility of Zhouyi just a kind of psychotherapy? In fact, it is not surprising to have such a question, but it is not just eight words. Followed by heavenly stems and earthly branches's circulation system of five elements, ten gods, five elements restraint and sixty flowers. There are only a few words on the table, but there are many complicated relationships behind them. The whole eight-character system is a very popular prediction and simulation system. It takes people's birth time as the breakthrough point, collocates heavenly stems and earthly branches with birth time, and changes with yin and yang. The eight characters are just a code name, a symbol, a symbol for calculating people's fate. A fortune teller is a person who has mastered the interpretation of this symbol, and fortune telling is a tool to solve the specific meaning of these symbols. So we can say that many things are presented to us, but we can't find a suitable way to explain them. That is, the relationship between a phenomenon and cognition. Things exist, but it doesn't mean we know him. Just like a person, we see this person, but we don't know what kind of person this person is, so we need a tool or method to understand him or ourselves. Eight-character is a method to explain numerology invented by the ancients. Through thousands of years of practice and accumulation, continuous improvement and deepening have also confirmed that numerology exists, but numerology fortune is not static. Only by studying a person's innate information and numerology, numerology is still different. This difference is the reason why people say that the same fate is often different. Numerology analysis is innate, and there are other aspects that affect people's fate, such as the influence of heaven, tunnel and human nature, such as the social environment and social atmosphere in different times; Different regions of birth have different economic development conditions; Different birth environment, different starting point and different education are all the reasons that affect the same fate and different life trajectories. Therefore, the study of numerology is only the study of congenital things, and the ups and downs of life can never be completely explained by * * *, but in any case, the most accurate explanation of the future fortune of life is numerology. Personally, I think the ancients used the method of "analogy" to study such problems. On the one hand, China's classical philosophy has the theory of "harmony between man and nature". The so-called "heaven" does not mean the domination of gods, but the representative of "nature". "Heaven and man are one" has two meanings: First, heaven and man are consistent. The universe is naturally a big world, while man is a small world. The second is the correspondence between heaven and man, or the connection between heaven and man. It means that man and nature are interlinked in essence, so all personnel should follow the laws of nature. There is a balance of yin and yang in the sky, and the five elements circulate. In the process of circulation, there is substitution to maintain the balance of the five elements. On the other hand, the ancients grafted the theory of "turning back" through analogy, and the development of things always went back and forth in different "circles" The Five Elements is a reincarnation system: the Five Elements theory holds that everything in the world is produced by the dynamic changes among five basic substances: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they are related to each other, forming a complete turning system. For example, aquatic gold, aquatic wood, wood fire, fire born soil, native gold. Repeatedly, there is a gram in life, and there is a life in gram. The unity of opposites ensures the stable development of things. Similar to the biological food chain, the disconnection of one link will cause the change of the whole chain. Time is reincarnation: the reincarnation of time is formed by the rotation and revolution of the earth. The rotation and time of the earth are changing, resulting in the alternation of day and night. The sun rises to sunset, and then the next day is like this, as if walking around, from the starting point to the end point, and then the next reincarnation. The revolution of the earth causes seasonal changes, and this cycle will appear again all year round and next year. The cycle of life: the birth of a person is like a starting point, and the death of a person is like reaching the end. From birth to death, it seems to be a "cycle", and then a new life is born, as if in the next cycle. Similar things in Samsara can be compared, so it is reasonable to study people's birth time as the starting point. Then why is the time of birth related to the future time? This is to be grafted into the five-element circulation system. The subdivision of the five-element circulation system is a 60-year cycle, so there will be a gram relationship in the 60-year cycle and a gram relationship in the future. If this relationship can be balanced, life will continue to develop, and disharmony between birth and death is what we call a good thing or a bad thing. From the above analysis, it is actually a kind of image reincarnation theory, which regards human life as a kind of reincarnation, and the development of everything is in a five-element reincarnation system, so that the trajectory of human life is grafted into the five-element birthday, and the time of human birth becomes the starting point of this system. Heavenly stems and earthly branches records time, which is just a record symbol. Of course, it not only records a person's birth time, but also represents the five elements of Yin and Yang, which is equivalent to taking heavenly stems and earthly branches as the carrier. According to the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the role of time can be explained by the knowledge of the five elements. Therefore, the relationship between birth time and future time is reflected in people and things, which constitutes various situations of life, and people's fate is thus "calculated".
