Xie Shi is a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, living at the turn of the Two Song Dynasties, and it is said that he once received a strange book called "Heart Easy Secret Occupation" by the gods and men, and since then, the fortune telling kung fu has been extremely deep, but no one has ever read this book. Xie Shi's life was a profession of measuring characters, leaving behind many magical stories and legends.
Xie Shi made his fortune in his hometown of Chengdu, and in his early years he was a famous word surveyor in Chengdu. Fame is great, but it also attracts some unnecessary trouble. Some people questioned, and some people went to the door to test. It is said that there was such a person, after hearing that Xie Shi's measurement was very accurate, wanted to see if Xie Shi was really so godly.
After he found Xie Shi, he gave Xie Shi a "nai" character for him to test. The word "nai" was so simple that it could not be disassembled, and the man had thought that Xie Shi would definitely have no way. Who knew that Xie Shi took a look at the words and opened his mouth: "The word 'nai' is 'and' the word is not complete, and you will not reach the first in your life." The testers left the scene in shame, but Xie Shi was even more famous because of this matter.
After becoming famous, Xie Shi came from Chengdu to Beijing and opened a word surveying hall in the center. Xie Shi also created his own "thousand-character card" for people who can't read words, and when measuring words, you can click one at random to measure words. Later word surveyors followed suit, and the "thousand word card" became one of the symbols of word surveyors.
Xie Shi's measurements were extremely accurate, and he gradually became famous in the mastery of Fenjing, and even attracted the attention of Emperor Huizong of Song. Emperor Huizong of Song also expressed doubts about Xie Shi's word measurement skills, and had the intention of examining the school, so he wrote a "chao" character and asked the eunuch to show It to Xie Shi.
After Xie Shi read the word, he immediately said, "This word must not have been written by you." The eunuch was very surprised, but his face was silent, and he said, "What if you just look at the words?" ”
Xie Shi looked at the word "Chao" and gave an answer: "The word 'Chao' was split into the words 'October 10th'. This word was not written by the heavenly being born on this day of the month, who else wrote it? "Here Xie Shi has already named this word, which was written by Tianzi. The eunuch was very surprised and immediately returned to the palace to tell Emperor Huizong of Song. After Emperor Huizong of Song listened, he summoned Xie Shi into the palace the next day.
Emperor Huizong of Song summoned Xie Shi in the palace and wrote many more words for Xie Shi to answer, and Xie Shi answered one by one. Later, Emperor Huizong of Song asked the prince to come and write a word, and the prince wrote a "tai" character and showed it to Xie Shi.
After Xie Shi read it, he replied, "This Heavenly Son, too word is slightly horizontal, this must be the Prince, he moved to the top one day, didn't he become the 'Heavenly' word of the Heavenly Son!" Therefore, there is no doubt that it is the Son of Heaven who wrote this word. ”
Xie Shi's answer made Emperor Huizong of Song very happy, and not only rewarded Xie Shi generously, but also named him Chengxinlang.
Summoned to the imperial palace to measure the emperor's words, and also received a reward from the emperor, Xie Shi could not think of it. After this incident, everyone in the world knew Xie Shi's word measurement skills. There are those who want to tell fortunes, as long as they have the conditions, they all want Xie Shi to take a look. Xie Shi is famous all over the world, and eventually became the "Holy Hand of Word Measurement".
