Sample Sentences
我不赞同你的看法。这些不一定是胡编乱造。就像西方的占星术的发展一样,中国的易经和八卦也是一门占卜的学问。起名,搬迁,红白喜事都是有凶吉的讲究的。当然不排除有些人并没有真正研究过周易,却混水摸鱼,到处骗人。
I don't agree with your opinion. These things are not necessarily just pointless nonsense. It's like the development of astrology in the West. China's I Ching and hexagrams are parts of divination. Giving children meaningful names, moving, weddings and funerals: there is a lot of research that goes into these things. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some people who haven't really mastered the I Ching just make wild guesses, coming up with stories and scamming people.
