The main concept of pinch-finger fortune-telling and horoscope fortune-telling is fate, or fate. In short, the arrangement and combination of the heavenly stems and earthly branches (i.e., the eight characters) in the year and month of a person's birth is destiny. However, it is impossible to calculate noble, cheap, good and bad luck based on the eight heavenly stems and earthly branches. Therefore, the combination of Yin and Yang and the five elements makes the heavenly stems and earthly branches have the attributes of Yin and Yang and the five elements, and have a mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining relationship. And it derives many relationships such as punishment, conflict, harm, and combination. In addition, it is combined with factors such as the four seasons and five directions, day and night, and cloudy and clear weather to form a fortune-telling system. The relationship between birth and restraint is also known as Zhengyin, Pianyin, Shangguan, Cooking God, Zhengguan, Pianguan, Zhengcai, Piancai, Bijian and Jiecai, collectively referred to as the "Ten Gods". Another important concept in horoscope fortune telling is luck. Fortune telling focuses on relatively stable life content such as wealth and poverty, while fortune telling focuses on dynamic life issues such as good and bad luck, which is commonly known as fate. Luck includes big luck, minor luck and fleeting years. Luck is generally calculated from the birthday, according to the yang year and yin year of boys and girls, combined with the solar terms and months. The fleeting years, also known as Tai Sui, are arranged according to the stems and branches of each year experienced after a person is born. In addition to fate and luck, there are also concepts such as Shensha, Nayin and Five Elements, Fei Yuan, and Ming Palace. The so-called Shensha is to fix certain combinations between some branches into a pattern. Once these patterns appear in a person's horoscope, they are called a certain god or a certain evil. God is the symbol of auspicious stars, evil is the symbol of evil stars. For example, the auspicious god "Wenchang Noble" indicates extraordinary intelligence and elegant temperament; the evil "Yin and Yang Error" indicates unsatisfactory marriages. Because the names of some gods sound mysterious, they are often used by charlatans to deceive people and defraud them of money. In front of a fortune-telling stall, it is common for people to report their birth time. The fortune teller will make a calculation and tell the fortune teller whether the fortune-teller is gold or wood. This involves the five elements of Nayin. Early numerology only used the stems and branches and the five elements. Nayin was an ancient phonological system introduced later, and its basis was also the generation and restraint of the five elements. The fetal element refers to the month when a person is conceived, and the Ming Palace refers to the place where the fate resides. Eight-character fortune telling is based on the above concepts, focusing on the relationship between the sun master and the four pillars and branches, combined with the life and restraint between the great luck and fleeting stems and branches, and also referring to the small luck, Shensha, Nayin, Feiyuan, and Ming Palace. situation to infer various situations in life.

[Edit this paragraph] Fortune-telling custom
Ancient folk fortune-tellers inferred the fate of life based on the horoscopes. Match the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth with the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Each item has two characters, and arrange them into eight characters, commonly known as the eight characters. Then find out the five elements they belong to, and then use the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint to infer their misfortunes, blessings, and longevity. tender. According to legend, it started with Guiguzi in the Warring States Period, and another theory started with Li Xuzhong in the Tang Dynasty. In the old days, many areas had professionals who specialized in this field, commonly known as fortune tellers or fortune tellers. They either sit and wait for those who ask for calculations to arrive, or they go around the countryside and villages with their huqins to "calculate". Those who do it must be rewarded with money and things. After a child is born, his parents must calculate it within seven days. If your life is good, you will be extremely happy; if your life is bad, you will be extremely worried. So he went to the temple to make a wish and asked the wizard to "cross the pass" in order to turn evil into good luck.
The most popular fortune-telling method is to arrange the eight characters. The so-called eight characters are the arrangement of the six characters of the year, month, day and time. For example, if a person is born at 9:30 am on the first day of December this year, then the first year of the year is Yiyou, and the sixth year of the lunar calendar is Ding Chou, and the first day of the lunar month is Ding Chou. Ri Jiazi is Yichou, and 9-11 a.m. is Xinsi. Listing the eight characters of these four Jiazi is the person's horoscope. Calculating the yin and yang and the five elements around the eight characters is fortune telling. . Chinese traditional fortune-telling generally has the following peak periods: One is when the child is born and the horoscopes are arranged. This time, there are three problems to be solved in fortune telling: First, whether there are any evil spirits before good fortune, such as bow and arrow evil, Yama evil, short-lived evil, etc., so that we can pay attention to and prevent them, or make some resolutions. For example, the way to resolve the bow and arrow evil is to make a small bow and arrow made of peach branches or grass when the child is one month old and take a bath, put it in the bath water and throw it away together. The second is to look at the relationship between the child and the six relatives from the horoscope, whether they are mutually reinforcing or incompatible, so as to decide the names of the child and the six relatives. Many Hakka children call their fathers uncle, uncle, or even brother. Calling the mother "sister-in-law" or "sister-in-law" is the result of fortune telling. In one place, lives were caused due to this. The main reason was that the fortune tellers lacked professional ethics and tried their best to exaggerate the child's ability to beat the father. Coupled with the father's lack of open-mindedness, it finally led to the tragedy of killing the child. The third is to see whether the child's horoscope is prosperous or weak, and what needs to be added to the five elements so that they can be remedied when naming. For example, many people's names are water-born, fire-born, wood-born, metal-born, earth-born, or some root, which is prosperous. It is living proof. At this time, arranging children's horoscopes for fortune-telling is really a child's play. As long as the horoscopes are arranged through the book, and then according to the gourd and the gourd to find out the evil spirits, find out the metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and rehearse the relationship between them, you can The above three problems are generally solved. Many people in rural areas who are new to writing can do this. But there are also many mistakes, because high-level problems such as the pattern of horoscopes cannot be solved by ordinary people. When some people grow up, they ask professional fortune tellers to tell their fortunes, and then change the metal sign to fire sign. , that explains everything. The second fortune telling was before marriage. After young men and women get to know each other, they understand each other through contact and establish feelings. But as parents, you still want to know whether the other person will be submissive to your husband or wife. The man's parents want to know whether their future daughter-in-law will be a good husband and a prosperous son, and whether she can bring good luck to their son and give birth to a good grandson in the future; the girl's parents want to know what the future of their prospective son-in-law is and whether she can bring happiness to their daughter. Therefore, before getting engaged, both parties need to exchange their horoscopes, and then find someone to tell each other's fortune. They believe that they can predict these things through horoscopes. In some places, the man will wrap the woman's horoscope and put it on the stove for a few days to see if everything is normal at home these days. If everything is normal, it means that the girl and the family are compatible and compatible; if a bowl is broken during this period, or there are problems such as pigs not eating, it means they are not compatible and compatible. Only when you are basically satisfied can you start talking about marriage. Many parents are opposed to their children's marriage for these reasons. Therefore, the phenomenon of fabricating false horoscopes has also emerged in some places, especially for girls, in order to successfully pass this test.
