Speaking of fortune telling, since the oniguzi, there have been more than two thousand years of history in China. The message of Luo Zhenzi is endowed with the sentence "Onigu Buqi's nine lives, about to view the stars". In general, the fortune-telling industry is the founder of the mountain by worshiping the ghost Guzi. Although this was superstition, the rulers of China's ancient feudal society, in order to better enslave the masses of the people, constantly propagated and instilled superstitious ideas in order to achieve the purpose of consolidating the feudal dynasty. As a result, fortune telling has become a kind of spiritual sustenance for the pursuit of a better life by ordinary people in successive dynasties.

According to legend, Oniguzi was born in 400 BC and died in 320 BC, with the surname Wang Mingxue, also known as Wang Chan and Wang Li, and Xuanweizi. It is said that the four moles on his forehead became the elephants of ghosts. A native of Huaxia, he was a native of Weiguo Chaoge (present-day Qi County, Hebi City, Henan Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Another version says that he was a native of Wei Guoye (Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province) during the Warring States period. Later generations called him a thinker, a representative figure of Taoism, and the originator of the Zongheng family. Oniguzi often goes into the mountains to collect medicine and cultivates, and because he lives in the Ghost Valley, he calls himself Mr. Onigu. "Wang Chan Laozu" is the title of the ghost valley by later generations, one of the five schools of old learning. "Lao Xue, Su, Zhang (referring to Su Qin and Zhang Yi), The Ghost Valley Faction, the Shen and Han Factions, the Yang Zhu Faction, the Zhuang and Lie Factions, and the Yin Wen Faction. According to the description in the novel' rendition, he is omniscient and incomprehensible to man; proficient in mathematics and astrological latitude, accounting for the past and seeing, and saying everything; six tao three strategies, infinite changes, marching in formation, ghosts and gods are unpredictable; he has a lot of memories, a clear sense of the situation, a word of argument, and a thousand mouths; cultivating the true nature, but he is sick for a long time, taking food and guidance, and soaring on the ground. Of course, this includes fortune telling. For more than 2,000 years, the martial arts have honored him as a soldier, the Zongheng family has honored him as the ancestor, and the fortune tellers have honored him as the ancestor. It is said that the Book of The Fate of The Ghost Valley was obtained by Sima Ji lord, and later obtained by Li Xuzhong, and annotated.
Folklore, look at the fortune teller and four others are very famous. One is Lai Buyi, formerly known as Lai Fenggang, ziwen jun, self-proclaimed cloth clothes, so also known as Lai Buyi, also known as "prophet mountain people", Dingnan County, Jiangxi Province, Fengshan Gang people. He was born during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song (between 1101 and 1126 AD).
The second was Yang Junsong (20 April 834 – 12 March 900), commonly known as Yang Shusong (杨助 poor), courtesy name Yang Shuyi (名益), courtesy name Shumao (字叔茂), a native of Douzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and a famous feng shui master.
The third was Guo Pu (276-324) an Eastern Jin Dynasty writer and exegetician. Zi Jingchun, a native of Wenxi, Hedong (present-day Shanxi). Erudite ancient Wenqi characters, the word endowment for the crown of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of the Joy Luni-Yang calendar to calculate the five elements of the art of divination, accounting for many strange tests, its literature is almost hidden by the number of magic. His father, Guo Zhen (郭瑗), was appointed as the Taishou of Jianping at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty.
The fourth was Zeng Wenyuan (854-916 AD), a native of Xiaoxuan Village, Yuduge, Jiangxi, who was born in the tang dynasty (854) and died at the age of 916 in the third year of Liang Zhenming's reign at the age of 63. He studied poetry books for young children, studied astronomical scriptures, and wrote various books in the Huang Ting. When he was living in seclusion at the Huanglong Temple in Yandu, he met Yang Junsong and "got his careful fingering of the green bird, so he got the Kanyu Avenue".
Back to the truth, here is a small story about fortune telling, so that everyone can understand the "mystery" of fortune telling.
The Ming Dynasty had a powerful courtier named Wen Tiren, who was born as a jinshi. He was very sleek in his life, and the city government was also very deep, serving as an official for thirty years, about the source, and the official fortunes were also very smooth. In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), he became the first assistant to the cabinet as a rebbe shoshu and a scholar of Theokkaku University. He is good at rejecting dissidents, but in the government and politics, he is doing nothing.
What I want to say here is that year, Wen Tiren and liangjuzi entered Beijing to take the exam and came to Wanping under the roots of the Imperial City. Seeing that the common people were rich and prosperous, they met to visit the market town temple fair. The temple fair is crowded and bustling, especially in front of a fortune-telling stall, which is even more lively and lively. Wen Tiren and the other two lifters squeezed in with great effort, and saw that the fortune teller of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone was telling fortunes for others. Wen Tiren said to the other two, "Listening to the onlookers outside, this fortune teller looks very accurate, may we let him see it too?" The two agreed. After the people in front of them finished reading the photo and counting their fate, Wen Tiren and the three of them stepped forward and asked the fortune teller to help them see how many students could be admitted to this examination? The fortune teller looked at the three of them several times, and then the god mysteriously held out a finger and did not say a word for a long time. The three of them scrambled to ask the same question repeatedly: "Can you only pass one test?" Which one is in the exam? The fortune teller asked the three questions more urgently, always pretending, closing his eyes and recuperating, but he was silent. Wen Tiren's three people could not see why they could not ask, so they had to pay the honorarium and leave sadly.
After the examination, sure enough, only Wen Tiren was admitted to the second-class jinshi, and the other two fell behind and returned disappointed. Wen Tiren was not only relieved by the spring breeze, but he could not forget Wanping's fortune teller. So I prepared a gift and reward, and came to Wanping to thank the fortune teller, and the admiration overflowed into words. Since then, Wen Tiren will find someone to calculate whenever he encounters something that is difficult to decide, and there are always several times a year when he visits the fortune teller in Wanping, which has really made the fortune teller very beautiful for many years. Afterwards, the fortune teller's wife asked him, are you really so accurate? The fortune teller laughed dumbly: "I held out a finger and didn't speak, they thought I was saying that I could only take one, and it turned out that I really hit one." In fact, no matter what the result is, I have calculated correctly. Then, he explained: If all three people pass the exam, the outstretched finger can be understood as one can pass the exam; if all three of them fail the exam, it can be understood that none of them passed the exam; if there are two people in the exam, it can be interpreted as only one failing the exam; this exam is naturally better understood.

Of course, there is more than one trick of looking at fortune telling, but the above story is enough to prove that looking at fortune telling is actually a deceptive trick. The miraculous fortune-telling skills of Oniguzi and others mentioned above are completely lies fabricated by the ruling classes of successive generations to enslave the common people.
