The ninth mystic - astrology
The dark night is like a huge curtain, setting off countless stars like diamonds! I'm sure almost no one can resist such beauty, we all once looked up at the starry sky one late at night, wondering who I really am and where did I come from?
In ancient times, the ancients discovered the connection between the starry sky and life, and they found that the distribution and operation of the sun, moon and stars were very important for determining the time, season and direction.
Ancient Chinese astronomical forecasting mainly involves astrological signs, and at the latest in the Han Dynasty, China has studied astronomy as a science. People made a variety of astrological disks according to the needs of observation, hoping to avoid some of the dangers that may occur in life through astrological luck, and astrology developed with the development of astronomy, which deeply affected the lives of the deceased at that time.

The Seventh Great Secret Technique - The Great Six
Liu Ren is the oldest astrology in the East, and is a technique used to divine auspiciousness with a style disk.
Liu Nong, together with Sui Jia and Tai Yi, is called the three types. Xu Shen of the Han Dynasty wrote in the Shuowen: "He who speaks of water, Zhun ye, is born one, counts five, and counts six with water." The river chart says that "the sky is full of water, and the earth is 60%. "One is the number of births, six is the number, the five elements are headed by water, and in the ten days of dryness, nong and decay are yang water and yin water, respectively. There are six of the sixty sons (壬申, 壬午, 壬辰, 壬寅, 壬子, 壬戌), called the Six Nongs.
Liu Nong has seven hundred and twenty lessons, with the engraving of the stem and branch of the heavenly disk, the earth disk overlapped, after turning the heavenly disk to get the value of the stem and branch and the timely hour, to determine the auspicious, the calculation is very difficult, to accommodate the yin and yang five elements of the theory of the I Ching theory astrology and military thought is ever-changing, by some people think that it is the collection of ancient Chinese cultural thought, the difficulty is super high!
The fifth tantra is the calendar
Ancient Chinese astronomical calendars have a long history. The so-called calendar, simply put, is based on the natural law of celestial changes, measuring long time intervals, judging changes in climate, and heralding the law of the coming of the seasons. The history of ancient Chinese astronomy, in a certain sense, is a history of calendar reform.
Calendar is a sub-discipline of astronomy, which is a method of calculating the length of time of years, months, and days and their relationships, and formulating the sequence of times. Simply put, it is a long-term timekeeping system created for people to produce time for society.
The calendar is gradually formed in human production and life, and the years, months, and days are directly related to the celestial cycle. Very early on, people set the cycle of the four seasons (the year of regression) as the year, and the cycle of the moon's profit and loss changes (synodic month) as the month.
The day of the year of regression is 365.2422, and the synodic month is 29.5306 days, which are neither integer multiples of the month nor integer multiples of the day, and are very inconvenient to use. Therefore, the years and months in the artificially prescribed calendar are integer days, and the years and months of such integer days are called calendar years and calendar months.
The fourth secret art is the formation
In ancient times, special attention was paid to platooning and arranging troops in combat, and the quality of the formation could affect the combat effectiveness and cohesion of an army.
For example, the famous Bagua Array in history is said to have been created by the famous military figure Sun Bing during the Warring States period; the Star Array was the formation of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei to break through the golden soldiers, this kind of formation is a row of abductors and horses scattered when they rushed, and when the enemy retreated, they attacked.
The third secret art is dream interpretation
On the surface, dream interpretation is this kind of annotation to dreams, but at a deep level, it may be a probe of fate, a visit to nature, and an exploration of science through dreams.
Dreams are actually inextricably linked to real life, thinking about it day and dreaming at night. It is precisely because of these contacts that people have begun to interpret dreams for a long time, and they want to get some chances, even if it is some psychological comfort, people also believe that through dream interpretation, they can visit a person, and this secret thought in their hearts can predict the evil of the world.
The second greatest secret is spells
The original spell originated from the ancient shaman's prayer to the gods, the ancients firmly believed that the spell is a tool for people to tell their expectations to the gods, and rely on a strong ideological force to try to change the situation of the medium, perhaps the role of the spirit is sometimes needed by human beings, that in the ancient science and technology is not yet developed, after all, it also comes from people's pursuit of a better life!
The first great secret art - Bu Zheng
Bu Zheng is one of the two ancient folk methods of divination and auspiciousness, and is a manifestation of ancient witchcraft. Refers to the use of tortoise shells, grass and other tools to predict certain events, different eras used in different methods, there are also innovations in the past, such as the legend of Dongfang Shuo's "Spirit Chess Sutra" is to use special chess pieces and special tricks to predict, is the use of some inanimate natural objects presented in the shape to predict the auspicious.
Ancient folk believe that after the divine process of divination, those natural objects also obtained divine symbolic meaning, and the shapes they presented were not the result of man-made, but the gifts of the gods and the gods, and the revelation or admonition of the gods.
"Ci Hai" has clouds, magic numbers to observe the phenomena that can be noticed in nature, to speculate on the number and fate of people and countries, the above 10 ancient secret arts were once criticized as "superstition", but now, in the era of scientific Prosperity, we simply understand the ancient ten mysteries from the perspective of history and culture, so that we can re-understand them with the correct attitude and scientific vision.
