Following Reform and Opening Up, the "Yijing fever" brought explosive revival to mainland destiny analysis after thirty years of silence.
This period began with Hong Pimo academically deconstructing fortune-telling as "folk culture." Shao Weihua then packaged BaZi as "Information Prediction Science," triggering a nationwide study craze through Four Pillars Prediction. His divinatory "one matter, one reading" style proved deeply influential.
Entering the 21st century, the field polarized: one camp, led by Xu Weigang, advocated "returning to sources," criticizing modern Day Master strength-balance theory and returning to ancient pattern systems; the other, represented by Duan Jianye and Chen Baoliang, made the "Blind School" techniques public, systematizing folk blind masters' oral transmissions.
The collision of tradition with folk secrets made modern destiny analysis richer than any previous era.
