‘Fortune Teller’ Yangjiabu, Shandong 30 x 46 cm modern reprint of early 20th century image People around the world have always put great stock in the power of the fortune-teller (or diviner), and this is no different in China. This image depicts a diviner sitting at his desk discussing fate with his clients. The remainder of the print is filled with the inauspicious pairings of the Chinese zodiac. The monkey, for example, is pulling the tail of the pig because the two are cosmic antagonists. What the diviner is trying to say is that someone who is born in the year of the pig should not marry someone who is born in the year of the monkey. (via Custom, Folklore and Social Values
