Introduce the Wenzhou Bagua Fortune-telling
Wenzhou Bagua fortune-telling divides the circle into two equal parts, representing the yin and yang that reflect the mutual relationship of all things. The yin fish is black, and the yang fish is white, which represents day and night. The head of the yang fish has a yin eye, and the head of the yin fish has a yang eye, representing that all things are transforming and permeating each other. Yin contains yang, and yang contains yin. Yin and yang combine and generate and overcome each other, which is the representation of the law of contradiction and unity in modern philosophy.
The center can be divided into four parts to form the four images. The four images are Taiyang (Great Yang), Taoyin (Great Yin), Shaoyang (Lesser Yang), and Shaoyin (Lesser Yin). The four images describe the east, west, south, and north in space, and spring, summer, autumn, and winter in time. Any set of contradictions with the center forms the three talents. Ancient philosophy believes that heaven, earth, and human beings are the three talents. Furthermore, on the basis of the theory of the four images, two more items were added: Yangming and Jueyang. They form the concept of the six harmonies with the four images.

If the four images are combined with the center, it forms the five elements theory. The south represents fire, the north represents water, the east represents wood, the west represents metal, and the center represents earth. The six harmonies combined with the center are called the seven stars. The four images through the "dividing into two" process form the eight trigrams. The original eight trigrams represent the directions: Qian (Heaven) in the south, Kun (Earth) in the north, Li (Fire) in the east, Kan (Water) in the west, Zhen (Thunder) in the northeast, Dui (Lake) in the southeast, Xun (Wind) in the southwest, and Gen (Mountain) in the northwest. Adding the axis to the eight trigrams is called the nine palaces. The nine palaces correspond to the numbers: Qian 9, Kun 1, Xun 2, Dui 4, Gen 6, Zhen 8, Li 3, Kan 7, and the center is 5.
Introduction to Zhouyi Wenzhou Bagua Fortune-telling
When people mention Wenzhou Bagua fortune-telling, many feel it is mysterious, and few can explain its mysteries.
"Gui" means "to hang." It is a phenomenon that hangs before our eyes, hence it is called "Gui."
The "I Ching" refers to the phenomena in the universe, which are visible phenomena that we can see with our eyes. There are eight basic phenomena in the universe, and all things in the universe change according to these eight phenomena. This is the origin of the eight trigrams rule.
Observing the phenomena of the universe and categorizing them into eight groups, drawing the eight trigrams, is this not the wisdom of a superhuman? Therefore, the eight trigrams are the study of wisdom. In Peking Opera, Zhuge Liang's appearance in the Yinyang Bagua robe illustrates the high level of wisdom. The Taiji diagram is a circle with the yin and yang fish inside; the eight trigrams diagram is a regular octagon, with a special symbol on each side.
There are two reasons that prevent people from exploring and understanding the Taiji and Bagua diagrams: one is the mysticism view, believing that the principles of the Taiji and Bagua diagrams are deep and impenetrable, and not something ordinary people dare to touch; the second is the superstitious view, believing that the Taiji and Bagua diagrams are superstitious things used for divination and must be strictly prohibited. According to legend, the Taiji and Bagua diagrams were first created by the ancient sage Fuxi. In the "Zhouyi" of the "Five Classics," there are detailed records and explanations.
Ancients believed that Wuji (the formless) gives birth to Taiji (the Supreme Ultimate), Taiji gives birth to Yiyi (Two Instruments), Yiyi gives birth to Si Xiang (Four Images), Si Xiang gives birth to Ba Gua (Eight Trigrams), and Eight Trigrams give birth to Sixty-Four Trigrams. This is the basic theory of Taiji generating the eight trigrams. Originally, it was within the scope of philosophy, a simple materialism; however, later scholars interpreted it in a forced manner, using omens for prediction, promoting the idea of predestination, making the Taiji and Bagua diagrams mixed with idealistic content, and adding a superstitious color, losing their original scientific significance.

How Wenzhou Bagua Fortune-telling Can Help You Divinate
Wenzhou Bagua fortune-telling, in the long history of China, the ancient and mysterious yin-yang and five elements theory has given birth to various methods of prediction and fortune-telling, such as: eight characters prediction method, facial reading, Zi Wei Dou Shu method, Tie Ban Shen Shu method, Qi Men Dun Jia method, Liu Ren method, Tai Yi method, and bone reading method. Among these prediction methods, the most influential and widely used in the folk are the eight-character prediction method, facial reading, and bone reading. These three prediction methods are considered the major methods of ancient Chinese fortune-telling.
For thousands of years, it has attracted us with its unique and mysterious charm. Chinese people have a tradition of hard work and perseverance. From ancient times to the present, millions of Chinese people have left their families, separated from their children, and sought development in every corner of the world. Fortune-telling has also followed the footsteps of our ancestors and spread around the world. It can be said that where there are Chinese people, there is this mysterious culture of fortune-telling.
The eight-character prediction method determines a person's life based on the year, month, day, hour, and minute of birth, forming a single time axis.
Bone reading is a concise algorithm created by Zhuge Liang (also known as Kongming) during the Three Kingdoms period, based on the I Ching and the calendar.
Chinese fortune-telling has a long history and numerous schools. One school's writings are dozens of volumes, which is daunting for ordinary people. Western "prediction science" is similar, which is based on constellations, with twelve types, and the constellation prediction method has gradually been accepted by the Chinese and slowly integrated into the Chinese life prediction.

Lifespan-81, Home-82, Partnership-83, Lost Things-84, Lost Person-85, Traveler-86, Skill-87, Release Person-88
Step Two:
You just need to say a number (0-999) to calculate (for example, this number is 389).
After calculation, refer to the Wenzhou Divine Numbers Table, the hexagram number is a corresponding three-digit number.
If calculated manually:
For example, calculating planning, look at the table 23, which means the tens digit is 2, and the units digit is 3.
Determining the hundreds digit:
For example, the number given is 389, divide 389 by 8, the quotient is 48, discard it, the remainder is 5, take the remainder 5 (if the remainder is 0, take it as 8), the hundreds digit is 5.
Determining the tens digit:
->1->6->7->4->5->3->8->2->
Starting from 2 (which is the tens digit of the "planning" item corresponding to the number "23" in the table), count clockwise 5 positions, the tens digit is 4.
Determining the units digit:
->1->6->7->4->5->3->8->2->
Starting from 3 (which is the units digit of the "planning" item corresponding to the number "23" in the table), count clockwise 5 positions, the units digit is 6, resulting in a code number of 546.
Step Three: Refer to the Wenzhou Divine Numbers Table
Looking up 546 in the table:
546 The hexagram for planning is strange, and the friendship is close, and the wealth can be exchanged. If you can achieve your wishes at the door, then the wealth will come daily.
