When the sky is not clear, the sun and the moon have no light; when the earth is not clear, the grass and trees do not grow. When the water is not good, the wind and waves are uneven; when people are not allowed, the good luck is not clear. The dragon did not meet, diving between the fish and turtles; the gentleman lost his time and surrendered to the villain - "Destiny Endowment" - Northern Song Dynasty Lü Mengzheng.
Fate, i.e. fate and luck, refers to a pattern in which things are carried out by a combination of fixed numbers and variables, and fate and luck are two different concepts. Fatalism holds that fate is a definite number, referring to a specific object; luck is a variable, refers to the transformation of time and space, and luck is the course of a person's life, in some periods of time, smooth or reverse, there are ups and downs, such as good luck at the head, good luck and so on.
The magic of predicting fate is an integral part of China's traditional culture, and it can be seen from some ancient books that record customs and folk customs that the ancients were very keen on prediction. Thus was also born the prediction system of Qimen, Taiyi, Liuren, Bazi, Plum Blossom Easy Counting, Liu yao and so on.
After all, predictions based on arithmetic are idealism, so they cannot be taken seriously. For example, there is a story that Zeng Guofan would ice jian in that year, and he knew people very accurately, and once a master of magic predicted that a certain day and a certain place would catch fire, and Zeng Guofan laughed and said nothing. By that night, Zeng Guofan had sent a lot of dark sentries to that place, and sure enough, they caught the arsonist, and this arsonist was the master.
There are also many fortune-telling stories that are "predicted very accurately", such as someone looking for a master to tell fortunes, and the master Xuanzhi xuanzhi said: The living do not count the dead! The person who was counted thought it was a joke, and it didn't take long for him to die, so everyone shouted that the calculation was too accurate.
There is also a story in history that Deng Tong of the Western Han Dynasty was favored by Emperor Wen of Han, but Xiang Shi Xu Said that Deng Tong would starve to death in the future. Emperor Wen of Han listened and immediately rewarded him with several copper mountains around Deng Tong's hometown and gave him the right to mint coins, and Deng Tong was soon rich and invincible. When the Han Jing Emperor succeeded to the throne, he immediately dismissed Deng Tong from his post and raided his home, and Deng Tong, who was once rich in the world, starved to death in the streets at an old age.
Such stories have also happened abroad, such as the Belgian Max was counted dead in an air crash, closed for half a year, and finally killed by a crashed plane.
In 1989, the young Max saw a wandering fortune teller on the street, out of curiosity, Max wanted to ask his peach blossom luck to see if he could marry the girl he loved, but the fortune teller replied: "You will not marry anyone, you will die in half a year." ”
Maybe Max's friends were joking, but Max took the sentence very seriously, asking the fortune teller if there was a way to avoid death, and the fortune teller told him: "Fate is irreparable." ”
Max was very scared, he thought, as long as he was far away from the plane in the past six months, wouldn't he be able to avoid the air crash? So Max went to live in an empty wooden house far from the town, just like the Europeans who had fled the country to escape the epidemic.
However, Max did not expect that he still did not hide from death, and a few months later Max was watching TV in the cabin, but he was killed by a plane. The Belgian military investigated, the cause of Max's death was a Soviet plane, that day Max suddenly felt a plane flying overhead, and before he could react, the plane fell from the sky and landed directly in front of Max's wooden house, and the explosion caused Max's bones to be gone.
The Max affair sparked a heated discussion in society, and when people searched for the fortune teller, they searched for months without a trace. Later, the famous thriller film "Death is Coming" has the interpretation of Max's story. In fact, similar stories have been seen in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Guo Jia predicting sun Ce's death, and Zhuge Liang predicting Wei Yan's killing.
