PS:I translated this from an ancient Chinese oucclut book.I'm not sure this is 100% real.I just think this is funny.

Divination was common practice in ancient China. The famous Classic of Changes involved divination. But Confucianism is generally disapproved of divination and magic, preferring instead rationalism. Most of Chinese governments have abolished the divination and prophecy, and in particular those that reflect adversely on current leaders.

I agree with Morbid Wizard in that it is pretty funny. What eventually became the highly stylized, somewhat complicated, Confucian influenced 64 hexagram I Ch'ing system was originally a one or two lined reading for simple yes or no questions used for everyday affairs. And, the divination system of the I Ch'ing is highly interpretive (like all divination), so I wouldn't be surprised if what Morbid Wizard found actually is real. Especially when you consider that a traditionally popular Taoist talisman is one used for the sole purpose of dislodging a chicken bone from someone's throat. And almost anything and everything can be explained by "good" or "bad" feng shui. Guess that the ancient Chinese fang shi couldn't leave ANYTHING to so-called chance!

I concur. So silly, in fact, that a good bit of Irish whiskey could be helpful here too.
