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。
wǒ bù zàntóng nǐ de kànfǎ 。zhèxiē bùyīdìng shì húbiānluànzào 。jiùxiàng xīfāng de zhānxīngshù de fāzhǎn yīyàng ，Zhōngguó de Yìjīng hé bāguà yě shì yī mén zhānbǔ de xuéwèn 。qǐmíng ，bānqiān ，hóngbái xǐshì dōu shì yǒu xiōngjí de jiǎngjiu de 。dāngrán bù páichú yǒuxiē rén bìng méiyǒu zhēnzhèng yānjiū guo Zhōuyì ，què húnshuǐmōyú ，dàochù piànrén 。
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.

啊，说来起名字还真是门大学问。又要好听高雅，又得吉利有内涵，无怪那么多年轻父母，一说到起名字就有些头痛了，这可是关乎孩子一辈子的事情呢，真可谓是责任重大！
ā ，shuōlái qǐ míngzì hái zhēnshì mén dà xuéwèn 。yòu yào hǎotīng gāoyǎ ，yòu děi jílì yǒu nèihán ，wúguài nàme duō niánqīng fùmǔ ，yī shuōdào qǐ míngzi jiù yǒuxiē tóutòng le ，zhè kěshì guānhū háizi yībèizi de shìqing ne ，zhēn kěwèi shì zérèn zhòngdà ！
Ah, talking about it, we can see that choosing a name is really a serious field of scholarship. It needs to sound good and elegant, and it has to be lucky and have a good implication. It's no wonder that so many young parents get flustered at the very mention of choosing a name. It's something that will follow the child for his entire life. It's no exaggeration to call it a heavy responsibility!

我不太了解国内的形势。不过美国最大的证券市场之一纽约证券交易所的组织结构健全，设备完善，管理严格，上市标准也非常高。对上市公司的监督管理主要由股票交易所的监管部门来专门负责，很有权威性。除特殊情况之外，政府对其运作及决策过程是不会干预的。在西方，投资股市可是一门大学问，而且有一些非常成功的投资家。

I don't really understand the trends in China. But at one of the biggest securities exchanges in America, the New York Stock Exchange, the organizational structure is very complete, the equipment is perfect, the management is very strict, and there are very high standards for going on the market. The supervision bureau of the stock exchange is mainly responsible for supervising listed companies. It's very well-respected. Except in special circumstances, the government will not get involved in its operations or policies. In the West, investing in the stock market is a serious area of study, and there are some really successful investors.

嘿嘿，这你就要请教我啦。我最近跟一位风水大师潜心学习，知道了不少秘传。风水学还是中国传统文化的精髓之一，是一门择吉避凶的术数，是一种人类追求与自然环境协调统一的学问，不完全是迷信啦。

Heh-heh. You just need to ask me. Lately, I've been immersed in studying with a great Fengshui master. I've learned a lot of secrets. The study of fengshui is one of the essences of traditional Chinese culture. It's an art that allows you to get good luck and avoid evil. It's a field of inquiry about humanity's efforts to achieve a unified harmony with nature. It's not complete superstition.

好像有过这种说法。真不知道那些暴发户有些什么秘诀，能一夜间暴富，很多人并没有很高的学问，说难听点还很土气不上台面，可是有钱却是不争的事实。

It seems like people have said that. I don't know what kind of secret tricks those newly rich have. They can get rich overnight. A lot of them aren't very well-educated. Not to put too fine a point on it, they're so vulgar that they wouldn't normally be able to make it. But it's an uncontested fact that they have money.
