Qianli Manuscript-Republic of China-Wei Qianli

The book's language is concise and its explanations are clear. It is the best in describing the concepts of Ziping's fortune-telling, especially the explanation of the nature of the five elements and the six gods. It can be said to be the essence of the book. The description is very clear, making it very easy for beginners to understand and master. In addition, the judgment chapter of this book basically sets the format of modern fortune books: looking at strength and weakness, determining patterns, selecting gods, discussing likes and taboos, checking luck, recommending relatives, evaluating temperament, and judging career. However, this book also has shortcomings, such as the conclusion of the six relatives is too fixed and inflexible, the ten-year Universiade is divided into five years each, the character analysis focuses on the strength of the five elements rather than the ten gods and dispositions, etc.
