Fortune-telling, which took root in the pre-Qin era, flourished during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and became widespread in the Ming and Qing periods. Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty are among history's most renowned masters of divination. Common fortune-telling techniques include Ba Zi (Eight Characters), palmistry, physiognomy, feng shui, Qimen Dunjia (Mysterious Gates), Plum Blossom Yi, Iron Plate Divination, and Ziwei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology)...

The only fate he failed to foresee was his own ultimate destiny. A lifetime of unfathomable wisdom culminated as Grandpa Zu, on his deathbed, cautiously revealed the hidden secrets, untold histories, legendary tales, unwritten rules, and underhanded tricks of fortune-telling to his last disciple... Open I Am a Fortune Teller and let an 82-year-old master reveal the mystical logic and underworld tricks behind palmistry, physiognomy, Ba Zi, I Ching, the Eight Trigrams, and Zi Wei Dou Shu.
