Introduction: Do you think people’s fate can be predicted? Is the trajectory of the world of
like and Schrödinger's cat , in a random superposition state, or does it have a clear route and direction? The debate on this issue does not only exist in the field of quantum currently being studied.
Ancient Chinese metaphysicians also used the concepts of Taoism Yin Yang and Five Elements to deeply analyze the nature of fate, and successfully uncovered the mysteries contained therein.
If I give you a chance now, let you know how you will spend your future life. So are you willing to take the initiative to reveal the answer to this question?
If a person really knows his future clearly, then does such a life still have the meaning of existence?
But if this is the case, why are so many people so obsessed with predicting the future? Can it be said that people's destiny can really be changed?
In fact, as early as more than 200 years ago, there was a strange man who explained the true meaning to us with a complete set of concepts.
However, because this theory is too obscure, we use the form of a story to understand its connotation.
The story begins
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty , a lost young man walked alone on the streets of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Looking at the bustle of people coming and going, he felt so lonely and lonely in his heart, and his brows were filled with indescribable melancholy and vicissitudes of life.
Once upon a time, he naively thought that he was a person destined to be extraordinary. But when his family fell into decline, he finally understood that the destiny he had believed in all these years was so vulnerable to the facts.
Those so-called experts who once told his fortune turned out to be nothing more than a group of sycophantic sorcerers.
Thinking of this, he felt disgusted with the study of numerology, and suddenly became a little more disgusted. So I subconsciously took out a few copper coins from my arms, thinking about buying a pot of turbid wine to get myself drunk and relieve my worries!
However, at this moment, a calligrapher wearing a Taoist robe walked out of a wine shop on the roadside.
After the two met, the young man snorted with disdain and continued to walk forward.
But the old man who measured the words seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance, and said casually:
"Destiny is not just a lie!
Some people know their fate and succeed, while others know their fate and fail.
The variable lies in the word "luck".
And you are exactly the unlucky person. "
After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule, and said slightly harshly:
"You deceitful sorcerers, what you are best at is telling the truth and confusing right and wrong.
If the prediction comes true, he will say that he can understand the secrets of heaven and predict the future.
if If it cannot be fulfilled, it will be blamed on others. It can be said that it is in an invincible position. "
The old man was not angry when he heard the words, but he still said calmly: "The ancients said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books, and the same is true for the study of destiny.
If you believe in fate, it is better not to know fate.
Because you listened to the rhetoric of those charlatans, you thought you were destined to be rich. Expensive, worry-free life.
did not expect that his family would be destroyed in an instant, and he would be forced to live on the street.
The reason why such a result occurs is because you simply do not understand the nature of fate. ”
The young man was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t expect that the old man in front of him could tell his life experience and experiences so accurately.
He thought silently in his heart, maybe he really met an expert.
But after thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely, so he asked tentatively:
"So in your opinion, what is the truth of fate?"
The truth of fate
Hearing the young man's question, the old man smiled slightly Smiling, a burst of drizzle fell from the sky. The old man stretched out his palm to catch a few drops of rainwater and said to the young man:
"To predict destiny, you must first understand numerology. The so-called numerology is the principle of life's operation and development.
Like the rain falling from the sky, if you want to know where it is going, you first have to know where it comes from. "
The young man said:
"Water comes from rivers, lakes and seas, rises into clouds, falls into rain, and finally returns to rivers, lakes and seas. "
The old man nodded and said:
"Human life is actually the same, it goes back and forth between heaven and earth.
Human life originally comes from the universe, and eventually dissipates between the nature of heaven and earth.
Therefore, there is not much difference between people in essence. In the end, they cannot escape the cycle of life, old age, illness and death.
Just like this water, it will eventually return to the rivers, lakes and seas. "
Seeing the old man pretending to be profound, the young man sneered a little, so he said with a hint of ridicule:
"What you just said are just some clichés.
Although you and I are all human beings, the fates between people are so different.
And a person's fate depends on his own nature.
This is like the water in the world. Although it is all water, some are bitter, some are sweet, some are astringent, and some are salty. Different water qualities are destined to affect them in different places.
How can the subtleties among these be explained clearly by a sentence that is essentially the same? "
When he heard this question, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up. He did not expect that the down-and-out young man in front of him could have such a profound understanding of life and destiny.
But at the same time, he felt more regretful that he could not meet such a talented person earlier.
Then he patiently explained:
"The problems you are concerned about are actually not unsolvable.
The essence of people is the same, which is the great unity, and the great unity contains small differences.
As you just said, all water in the world is water, but it can be divided into sweet, bitter and salty. This is Because the components of water are different.
The same is true for human life. Although everything in the world is formed by the original energy in the universe, the energy also contains some slightly different attributes. At a large level, it can be divided into yin and yang. l2
Just like the hexagrams in the Book of Changes, although they are all composed of yin and yang, they can be arranged in this way repeatedly, but there will never be an end.
Each combination can symbolize one thing, and a complex combination can contain many subtle attributes. This is the truth about the origin of all things.
The so-called science of numerology is to analyze the essence of the other person based on the different attributes contained in a person's life, so as to obtain a certain conclusion. "
After hearing these words, a light suddenly flashed in the young man's dim eyes. The old man in front of him seemed to be somewhat different from the charlatan he had seen before.
But thinking about his current situation, he immediately shook his head and sighed:
"The theories you mentioned are indeed profound, but they have no practical effect for me. They are just empty arguments.
No matter how much you know about this kind of truth, I'm afraid it can't change a person at all. Now that I've fallen to this point, it's okay not to listen to such mysterious words."
As he said this, the young man returned to his lazy look and turned to leave.
Seeing the young man about to leave, the old man chuckled and said calmly:
" If you want to change your destiny, you need to give it in advance.
If you can't even see clearly your own essence, in what direction can you change it? Regardless of
, since you are leaving, the fate between you and me is over. "
Hearing this, the young man stopped instantly, turned around quickly, and continued to ask for advice from the old man, how can he see his own destiny clearly?
How to solve one's destiny
The old man saw him on the road, and said:
"The word destiny can be divided into two, one is fate, and the other is luck. Only when you know your destiny can you control your destiny.
And human life is transformed by vitality, so the essence of life is the attribute of vitality. "
Having said this, the old man paused, and then continued:
"In fact, according to the concept of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, the original energy of the universe can be divided into five basic attributes, namely metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
On this basis, the five elements can be divided according to shape and energy.
Among them, water and fire dominate Qi, and their nature is virtual. Metal and wood dominate shape, and their nature is solid.
Those whose aura is in the element of water and fire are fond of thinking, pragmatic, and have many changes in their lives.
Those whose attributes are biased toward metal and wood are mostly pragmatic people, good at enterprising, and relatively stable.
As for the last piece of soil, it is the attribute of Zhongzheng, impartial and impartial, giving people a sense of solidity and solidity. "
After hearing this, the young man finally realized something, and said to the old man: "
"If you want the yin and yang and the five elements contained in the vitality to correspond to the human body, I am afraid it needs to be consistent with the birth date." "
The old man nodded and continued:
"The so-called birthday actually refers to the specific year, month, day and time when you were born.
However, with the movement of the sun, moon, stars, and the flow of the five fortunes and six qi, at each different time and space node, the five elements of qi between heaven and earth will also rise and fall with each other.
Therefore, the ancients established the chronological method of heavenly stems and earthly branches based on specific rules to determine the five-element attributes corresponding to each year, month, day and time.
In other words, a person's birth date actually contains all the attributes of his or her life. "
After hearing these words, the young man asked with some confusion: "According to this statement, as long as a person knows how to correspond to the heavenly stems, earthly branches and birth dates according to the attributes of the five elements, can he fully understand the essence of life?
But if this is the case, wouldn't everyone be able to become a master of numerology? "
At this time, the old man shook his head and said with a smile:
"The study of numerology is just a mechanical knowledge. The most critical essence lies in the word "".
You only know that the heavenly stems and earthly branches correspond to the five elements, but you don’t know that there are yin and yang among the five elements.
Based on the growth and decline of yin and yang, combined with the principle of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, and calculating according to the rules, the final result is a person's true fate. And this operation process is called transformation.
The charlatans you met before are actually mediocre people who don’t know how to use them. It is precisely because of this that you have wasted twenty years in vain. "
After hearing this, the young man finally put aside his prejudices and grudges, and asked the old man a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
How to change his future destiny?
The answer given by the old man was also very simple, with only 4 words called Introspection of destiny!
Seeing that he seemed confused, the old man continued to explain:
"A person's birth date is also called the four pillars, which respectively control a person's fate and destiny.
The middle-year column and the -month column symbolize destiny and are regarded as innate destiny.
The day column and hour column symbolize luck and are regarded as acquired variables.
But if you want to change the variables, you must first understand the fixed numbers.
This is like the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. Only after knowing one's own attributes can one know how it should operate in the future, so as to achieve the effect of pursuing good luck, avoiding bad luck, and changing destiny with luck."
After these instructions, the young man finally had an idea and bowed to the old man. At this time, a breeze blew in the sky, blowing away the dark clouds, revealing a long-lost light.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man smiled without saying a word, took out a yellowed ancient book from his arms, and handed it to the young man. in hand.
I saw three big characters written on the cover of this book " drop of Tianmui ".
After doing all this, the old man turned around and drifted away, leaving the young man alone to meditate in the wind. And this young man was a numerology master who would become famous in the future, Ren Tieqiao.
returns to reality
The story we just told actually stems, to a large extent, from Ren Tieqiao's understanding and annotation of numerology. The most critical point of
is to guide people on how to treat this academic discipline correctly.
As the saying goes, it is better to not know fate than to believe in fate.
The ancients analyzed the nature of fate, and their ultimate goal was to understand fate and then reflect on themselves. In other words, if a person wants to control his own destiny, he must first understand the nature of destiny.
knows his own basic attributes, and then he can use the principles of life operation to optimize and improve his life. And this is the biggest role and the most essential essence of ancient numerology .
