There is a rumor at the end of Wuxia Coffin Mountain in Ghost Blowing the Lantern called "Golden Point".
It is actually a story about the protagonist Hu Bayi's grandfather Hu Guohua telling people fortunes and "looking at Feng Shui".
The book talks about using magic numbers to predict fortunes for others.
Good or bad luck comes to make a living.
Because this kind of thing has a relatively high technical content, it is often called "golden point".
This is actually my guess.
According to Mr.
Lian Kuoru, the master of storytelling, "golden point" is the general term for fortune telling by Jianghu artists, just like a group noun.
These gentlemen with golden points are also divided into good and bad ones.
The highest level is to know the thirteen golden points of the rivers and lakes.
These fortune-telling fortune tellers always have a hint of cleverness in their words, and they always set traps for others.
This trap is called a trick in the jargon.
Let’s not talk about anything else today, let’s just talk about the first of the thirteen springs: geography spring.
What is geographical reed?
In fact, Mr.
Jindian asked the fortune teller where his hometown was.
You must know that China has a vast land, rich resources, and a large population, but each province and each place has its own specialties and abilities, and can even develop special occupations by traveling around: Zuoxikou in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Xiaguandong in Shandong and Hebei, and Fujian , Guangdong's Xia Nanyang, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou's Xiaxiajiang are all familiar to everyone; to be more detailed, in the old days, the North Most of the people at the Jinggan Fruit Shop are from Wenshui, Shanxi; the food store is basically dominated by people from Yuci, Shanxi; people from Zhangqiu County, Shandong, had two ways out in the old days, one was to go to Ruifuxiang Waiting for a job as a clerk in a Xiang-branded silk and satin shop; secondly, going to blacksmithing.
Anyway, it was recommended by local relatives and friends in my hometown.
Everyone who went in and out was an acquaintance.
There were some who did other jobs, but there were few.
If Mr.
Jindian, the fortune teller, knows this and someone from Zhangqiu County, Shandong Province comes to tell his fortune, he will know that he cannot do without these two places.
After seeing that he is neatly dressed and looks like a shop clerk, he will congratulate him and say, "You should "Enter the business world", isn't this the opposite of a spring head?
The other party must be able to admire this fortune teller for his skill, so it would be a matter of course for him to spend the money for fortune telling.
Although this "Jianghu Jindian Gehuang" is talking about old times, there is still some truth in it.
For example, there are many Beidiao from Hebei, Henan, and Shandong in Beijing, and there are many migrant workers from Hunan and Jiangxi in various parts of Guangdong.
This is something that everyone encounters in life.
Most of the people who open Chengdu snacks in Beijing are from Kaixian, Chongqing, and most of the people who open Guilin rice noodle shops on the streets of Shenzhen and Guangzhou are from Qinzhou, Guangxi.
Not many people know about this, but when I say this, I am not telling people to tell fortunes and cheat money.
Come on, just treat it as a source of conversation and have fun chatting with others
