The method and application of Taoist paper fortune-telling
Taoist paper fortune-telling is a common fortune-telling method. In this method, fortune-tellers use paper and pen to make inferences and predictions by observing the handwriting and lines on the paper. Paper fortune-telling is often used to interpret and predict an individual's fortune, wealth and marriage.
The specific operation may be to write some specific symbols, words or draw some patterns on the paper, and then analyze according to these contents. For example, the shape and position of a certain pattern that appears on the paper may be used to judge a person's career development trend. If a relatively regular circle appears on the paper, it may be interpreted as that this person will have a relatively satisfactory development in career and may encounter some good opportunities and have the hope of success.

The application range of paper fortune-telling is relatively wide. For those who are confused about the future, paper fortune-telling can provide some directions and inspirations. For example, when a young person is facing career choices, they can understand their fortune in different career directions through paper fortune-telling and make more appropriate decisions. In terms of marriage, paper fortune-telling can help people understand their compatibility with potential partners and the direction of future marriage life.

The principle and application of Taoist Ba Zi fortune-telling
Taoist Ba Zi fortune-telling is based on eight numbers such as the year, month, day and hour of birth, and combines the theory of heavenly stems and earthly branches to calculate and analyze a person's character, destiny and development direction.
Its principle is mainly based on the theory of mutual generation and restraint of heavenly stems and earthly branches and the theory of yin and yang. The combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches in pairs becomes eight characters. According to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements in Ba Zi fortune-telling, the relationship of mutual generation and restraint of different Ba Zi combinations can be seen. For example, if there is an excess of a certain five-element element in the Ba Zi, then there will be a relationship of mutual generation; but if there is a relationship of restraint in the fortune, it means that there will be many unfavorable factors in a person's destiny. At the same time, the theory of yin and yang also plays a key role in Ba Zi fortune-telling. Ancient Chinese scholars believed that all things in nature have yin and yang distinctions, and the human body is the same. In Ba Zi fortune-telling, the relationship of mutual generation and restraint of yin, yang and the five elements is extremely crucial for a person's life destiny. For example, yang fire and yin water are incompatible. If this situation occurs in Ba Zi, it will lead to internal cancellation and ultimately bring unfavorable influences. If the two match each other, a relationship of mutual generation can be formed in a person's destiny, bringing help and opportunities.

Ba Zi fortune-telling has many applications in life. In terms of personal development, people can understand their own personality characteristics through Ba Zi fortune-telling, so as to better play their own advantages and make up for their own deficiencies. For example, a person with more wood elements in the Ba Zi may have a relatively mild, kind personality and be creative, suitable for working in fields such as art and education. In terms of marriage matching, Ba Zi fortune-telling can help people understand whether the personalities of both parties are complementary and whether their destinies support each other. For example, if the Ba Zi of two people are mutually generated and compatible, then they may be more harmonious and happy in marriage life. In addition, Ba Zi fortune-telling can also be used in career planning, fortune prediction and other aspects.

The characteristics and applications of Taoist feng shui fortune-telling
Taoist feng shui fortune-telling emphasizes the balance of qi field, geography and environment. By observing factors such as houses, terrain and landscapes, it predicts and improves people's fortune.
Its characteristics mainly include the following aspects. First of all, feng shui fortune-telling emphasizes that the yin and yang qi field and energy flow of the environment have an important influence on people's destiny. For example, if a house faces south, has good lighting and smooth ventilation, then it is considered to have a better feng shui qi field, and people living in such a house may have better fortune. Secondly, feng shui fortune-telling pays attention to the influence of geographical environment. For example, the layout of mountains and waters around the house and the direction of roads will all have an impact on feng shui. If there is a mountain behind the house and flowing water in front of it, it is considered a good feng shui pattern, which can bring wealth and good luck to the residents. In addition, feng shui fortune-telling will also consider landscape factors such as trees and flowers around the house. If there is lush vegetation around the house, it will be considered to have good feng shui and can bring health and vitality to the residents.
Feng shui fortune-telling has a very wide range of applications in life. In terms of real estate purchase and layout, many people will choose the location, orientation and layout of the house according to feng shui principles. For example, when buying a house, people will choose a place with higher terrain, beautiful surrounding environment and convenient transportation. In terms of house layout, people will arrange furniture and decorations according to feng shui principles to achieve the purpose of improving fortune. In business planning, feng shui fortune-telling is also widely used. Many businesses will choose the location and decoration style of the store according to feng shui principles to attract customers and increase the prosperity of business. In terms of career development, some people will arrange the office according to feng shui principles to improve work efficiency and promote career development.

The analysis points of Taoist Four Pillars of Ba Zi fortune-telling
Taoist Four Pillars of Ba Zi fortune-telling mainly infers a person's character characteristics and destiny trend by analyzing the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches of a person's year, month, day and hour of birth.
The analysis points mainly include the following aspects. First of all, to see a person's character characteristics, mainly look at the five-element attribute of the day master and the prosperity and weakness of the five-element situation implied by the Four Pillars and the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the cooperation of the six gods of each heavenly stem and earthly branch in the life chart. For example, a person with Jia wood as the day master usually has personality characteristics such as being positive, having leadership and being creative. Secondly, look at the lifespan and achievements of parents (ancestors). Mainly look at the positive and negative printing stars. Look at the year and month pillars for the position. Look at the official killing for ancestors and pay more attention to the year pillar. If the positive and negative printing stars are full of qi and not damaged, the parents will live a long life. If the positive and negative printing stars are used as auspicious in the year and month pillars, the parents will be virtuous and live a long life. If the official killing star is on the year pillar as a useful god, the grandparents will live a long life and be promising. Thirdly, look at the number and relationship of siblings. Pay more attention to the month and day pillars for the position. For those with weak body and restraint on the month pillar by comparing stars, there must be many siblings who will help. For those with strong body and loss of restraint on the month pillar by comparing stars, there are many siblings but they are not harmonious. For those with strong body and comparing stars on the day branch, siblings are not harmonious and the relationship between husband and wife is poor or there is bigamy (especially for men). In addition, it also includes aspects such as looking at husband and wife relationships and children's situations. For example, for men, wealth is regarded as wife and the position is at day and hour. For women, official killing stars are regarded as husband and the position is at day and month. In men's fortune-telling about wife, the most taboo is heavy exposure of comparing stars without restraint. In the life chart, if wealth is light and food and injury are weak, especially if comparing stars are added to the heavenly stems and earthly branches of day and hour, one of the situations of no wife, disharmony in relationship and bigamy will surely come true. In women's fortune-telling about husband, pay attention to the official killing stars and pay more attention to the day and month pillars. If the official killing star on the month pillar is used as a useful god without injury, she will surely marry a virtuous and promising husband, and the husband and wife will be affectionate. The same is true for those with the official star on the day branch. For women with the partial official star on the day branch, there may be a suspicion of first partial and then positive, or if the partial official star on the day branch combines with comparing stars, there is more possibility of bigamy. Men and women look at the food god and injury god together. For men, food is son and injury is daughter. For women, it is the opposite. The position is mainly at hour, followed by day branch.

The interpretation method of Taoist six-line hexagram fortune-telling
Taoist six-line hexagram fortune-telling predicts by obtaining different combinations of hexagram lines through methods such as casting copper coins.
First, put three copper coins in the palms of both hands. At this time, silently think about the thing you need to predict. Meditate for one minute. At this time, the person and heaven are in one. The information resonates. Then shake six times and record the hexagram image each time. The copper coins shaken will appear in the following combinations: one back and two faces are called "single", drawn as "/", which is lesser yang. Two backs and one face are called "split", drawn as "//", which is lesser yin. Three backs and no face are called "heavy", drawn as "0", which is old yang and is a changing line. Three faces and no back are called "cross", drawn as "×", which is old yin and is a changing line. Draw one line each time a shake is made. A hexagram is formed by six lines and needs to be shaken and drawn six times. The first time is the first line and is drawn at the bottom of the hexagram. It rises in turn. The sixth time is the sixth line and is drawn at the top. If there are "×" or "0", draw the changed hexagram again.

When interpreting the hexagram, the upper three lines are the outer hexagram and the lower three lines are the lower hexagram. "×" is regarded as two points and "0" is regarded as one point. The inner hexagram is empty in the middle of Li and full in the middle of Kan. This hexagram has water on top and fire on the bottom. This hexagram is named "Water and Fire in Aid". Later, the "0" child is changed and is two points. The "X" child is changed and is one point. What is changed is the change. This hexagram is named "Thunder over Lake". When interpreting the hexagram, do not look at the main hexagram. Look at the two unchanged line statements of the changed hexagram to interpret the hexagram, with the lower line statement as the main. For example, if the starting hexagram is "Great Exceeding of Lake and Wind" and the changing line is the sixth line and the changed hexagram is "Wind over Earth". At this time, based on the first line statement of "Wind over Earth", make comparisons by referring to each other, and you can accurately judge the development direction of things. The rules of the six-line hexagram interpretation method are as follows: First, determine the purpose and meaning of divination, and then choose an appropriate hexagram. According to the cause, process and result of the item being divined, combined with the actual situation, comprehensively analyze the hexagram and infer the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the item being divined.

The judgment basis of Taoist yin-yang and five-element fortune-telling
Taoist yin-yang and five-element fortune-telling analyzes the yin and yang and five elements in Ba Zi to judge a person's character, fortune and destiny.
Yin and yang and the five elements are basic concepts in traditional Chinese philosophy. Yin and yang represent two opposing and complementary forces, and the five elements represent five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. In Eight Characters destiny theory, each heavenly stem and earthly branch corresponds to specific yin and yang and five-element attributes. According to yin-yang fortune-telling, if a person's birth time is balanced in yin and yang and the five elements, then their character is harmonious and their fortune is smooth; on the contrary, if yin and yang and the five elements are unbalanced, then their character is biased and their fortune is bumpy.
For example, if there is a balance of yin and yang in Ba Zi, then the person's character is peaceful; if the five elements generate each other, then the person's fortune is smooth; if the five elements restrain each other, then the person's fortune is bumpy. Specifically, if a person has more wood elements in their Ba Zi and fewer metal elements, then according to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, wood restrains earth and earth generates metal. This person may encounter some obstacles in career. However, if they can strengthen the power of metal elements by some methods, such as wearing metal jewelry, their fortune may improve. At the same time, yin-yang and five-element fortune-telling will also consider the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches and other factors for comprehensive analysis and judgment.
