<P><Fortune telling> </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Divination by the features of the face <BR>The Chinese believe that the face can be used to predict the future and fortune of an individual. Fortune telling from the face has a long history stretching back over five millennia and its most famous ancient exponents were Tanju Ju and Xi Jong who wrote books during the Eastern Chou Dynasty (770-256 BC). <BR>Facial fortune telling considers the shape of all the major features of the face: the combination of these features and their relative yin and yang properties determine a person’s destiny and fortune. Ten facial types are recognised- feng, mu, shen, tian, tong, wang, jia, yang, yuan and you. Each facial type has its own fate characteristics: for example, mu features denote intelligence but bad gambling luck and feng features denote an intelligent person fortunate in their endeavours. </P>
<P>Palm reading <BR>Similar to western palm readers, Chinese divination believes that the lines on the palms of the hand can predict a person’s fortune, attitude, health, character, marriage fortune etc. Palm reading in China can be traced back about 3 millennia to the period of the Chou dynasty, when a book on the subject was written by Shi Shu Fu. <BR>Palmistry is divided into two subfields: cheirognomy (concentrating on the fingers) and cheiromancy (concentrating on the palm). <BR>Chinese palmistry classifies palm types into seven groups: psychic (idealistic sort), natural (lowest sort of person), mixed and squarish (useful sorts), spatulate (anxious sort), philosophical (confused sort), and conical (artistic sort). The finger bones, joints, nails and the elbow are examined in Chinese palmistry. </P>
<P>Fortune Sticks <BR>The oldest known method of fortune telling in the world is known as Kau Chime - a set of 78 numbered sticks held in a bamboo case. Holding the container in both hands and shaking it causes one of the sticks to rise and fall out. The number on the stick is cross referenced with ancient texts, and a fortune told. The fortune is generally a short poem or rhyme, and the point is not so much to have a clear picture of the future, but an indication of the possibilities which lie ahead. The Chinese are not, by and large, fatalistic, though they hold many superstitious beliefs. Therefore, having one's fortune told is more an indication of the conditions ahead rather than actual events. The opportunity therefore exists for people to make the most of their lives by being more aware of the 'environmental conditions' which surround their lives. </P>
<P><BR>Questions </P>
<P>1. Do you think our lives have been destined since we’re born? <BR>2. Do you believe fortunetelling or horoscope? Tell reasons that you believe them or not? <BR>3. Have you ever read your fortune in the newspaper or Internet? If so, what is the reason? And how do you feel when it says your luck is bad or good? <BR>4. If fortuneteller tells you to break up with your girl/boy friend, will you follow it? <BR>5. If your parents are strongly against your marriage because she/he is not suitable for marital affinity, are you willing to marry her/him? <BR>6. If you want to do something new for your future but fortuneteller says you must have different job, what would you decide for your life? <BR>7. If you have big problems, or are in a dilemma, how do you get over them? </P>
