A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

This kind of thing is actually very common. For example, in the popular saying passed down: rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests, but as the saying goes: the first to get the moon is the one who is near the water or the tower.

As the saying goes: The prime minister's belly can support a boat; but as the saying goes: It is not a gentleman not to avenge one's enemies.

As the saying goes: A man would rather die than surrender. But as the saying goes: A man is capable of bending and stretching...

It can be found in many of our archaeological data that in ancient times, people performed divination very frequently, and they often performed divination more than ten times or even dozens of times a day.

This is because everyone has different interpretations. For example, today a turtle shell was burnt to create a pattern that had never been seen before. Everyone was confused and had never seen this pattern before. Zhang San said that this represents a chicken, and the totem of the opposite tribe is a chicken. It's over, we are going to lose.

Li Si said that this pattern represents dancing. I understand. When we fight tomorrow, we must keep dancing. We must sing and disturb each other's mind while fighting. We can avoid the stones thrown by the opposite tribe, so that we can win.

Everyone debated but couldn't come up with a result. Okay, let's burn another turtle shell, and this time it will produce a different pattern. As a result, we argued for a long time with no result. What should I do? Let's continue burning it. I didn't do anything all day long. More than twenty turtle shells were burned.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide an interpretation method so that everyone can uniformly identify this result, otherwise there will never be an answer. This is the first stage of divination, where a result is given through artificial definition.

It's just that the "divination theories" of this period were all eliminated three thousand years ago, and we have no way of knowing today what this first stage of divination was like.

Is this superstition? This is definitely superstition, and then there is the next step. If I were the great wizard of the tribe, one thing I would do is start counting.

I first recorded the outcome of all the tribe's wars in the next ten years, and compared them with the divination results done before the war. I found that there seemed to be some connection between the divination results and the outcome of the war, but I had to make this connection. It is very difficult to figure it out, and it will take countless people hundreds of years to do it.

So the second stage of divination appeared, and the Book of Changes is the most representative of this kind of statement. We can see the shadow of this second stage of divination theory in the Book of Changes.

Divination at this time is a kind of summarized knowledge, and it stops here.

For example, you go to work at 8 o'clock every morning. You go out at 7:7 today and walk to the company to find that you are late. You will go out at 7:7 tomorrow and you are still late. It has taken you a total of a week and : every day. No matter how you go out, you will always be late. Then you will conclude that these two things are inevitably connected. If you go out at :, you will definitely be late.

You can continue to analyze and conclude that your home is 3 kilometers away from the company, and you can walk 5 kilometers per hour, so leaving half an hour early is not enough time.

Divination during this period is so simple and straightforward. You don’t know how far your home is from the company, and you don’t know how far you can walk per hour. You just know that you will be late when you leave at 7:.

At this time, divination was still superstitious, but it was not completely superstitious. It began to incorporate some knowledge into it. Then, a second route emerged.

What is the second route? People observe the natural world and discover many patterns.

A big question that people in ancient times must have solved was: How to find the patterns of weather changes and prepare in advance? This involves very complex historical knowledge, and it takes a lot of space to talk about it. While observing natural phenomena, we discovered a lot of related knowledge that we didn’t know the cause of.

For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Lunheng" mentioned: "The rise and fall of the waves rise and fall with the moon." Everyone found that the rise and fall of the tide coincided with the moon, but they didn't know why.

We can understand today that this is caused by gravity. The moon is very close to the earth, so the effect is very obvious.

Sima Qian also discovered that there was a star that glowed white, and the five elements of gold were white, so he called it Venus. There was also a star that glowed red, and the five elements of fire were red, so he named it Mars.

Almost all "science" in ancient China was obtained from astronomical observations. Therefore, China has always had astronomical observation institutions. In the Han Dynasty, the official who observed astronomy was called Taishi Ling. Yes, that was the official position of Sima Qian. Later, there were many other names, some were called Qintianjian, and some were called Zongzong. Mingguan.

This also allowed that in the next two thousand years, all seemingly related phenomena in astronomical observations were recorded. We don’t understand the reasons for the time being, so it doesn’t matter. Let’s record them first and leave them to future generations to explore slowly.

It contains a lot of things that no one can explain, and the ones related to divination account for the highest proportion among them.

At this time, divination has entered the third stage. It is no longer superstitious. People have found the laws and can make calculations based on the laws.

Nowadays, there is actually another term for this thing, called big data.

A concept needs to be clarified here: finding patterns and knowing the reasons are two different things. Before Newton was born, astronomers in our country had been able to make very clear judgments and predictions about the rise and fall of tides, but they still could not know what caused them.

Taking work as an example, I can calculate that if you leave before 7:, you will not be late for work, and I can also determine how long it will take for you to get home from work, but I don't know why. It’s precisely because I can’t explain why that I call this metaphysics.

Now, if the average person goes to find a fortune teller on the street, it is better to find a free fortune telling website. He can show you the various contents recorded in the computer program in the form of percentages based on the content you input. For example, If you enter a person's birthday, he can tell you how likely this person will be in the future, what kind of person he is, and what career he is suitable for.

After Zhang Lan had the game panel, he compared the content calculated by the program on the website with the help of Qi Men Dun Jia. How can I put it, as long as you put it on, you can always compare the similar ones.

It's fine as a game for self-entertainment, but if it really wants to puzzle people and comfort them, it still lacks some of the feeling of dialogue between people.

The machine is cold, and the lines of text tell you the greatest possibility. There is a big difference between the same statement on paper and in human words.

For example, fortune telling, or worshiping gods and praying to Buddha. Sometimes what you seek is not how effective it is, but how it can make people have faith and feel calmer.

Whether Cheng Liqiang believed it or not, Zhang Lan was too lazy to explain anything. He led them to the Buddhist temple where the Bodhisattva was worshipped. After preparing everything, Zhang Lan asked Qin Yonghui to hold the child and worship the Bodhisattva. While worshiping the Bodhisattva, Zhang Lan performed a "Save All Living Beings" on each of them. (End of this chapter)
