Whatever comes to mind. Sometimes a story I read, sometimes something that came to me while holding my mala beads.
A friend bought a rose quartz on TikTok to attract love. I told her about the peach blossoms of three thousand years ago, the four directions in the old fortune-teller's rhyme, and one more thing: a person's love corner is so often the messiest corner of their home.
Cleaning out a drawer, I found a stone Pixiu I bought years ago for thirty yuan. The vendor said it has a mouth but no other end — nothing comes out. Now foreigners on TikTok call it the money beast. I finally understood: it isn't for asking wealth. It's for watching over what you have.
A new Danish colleague placed a rose quartz and a pothos on her desk — desk feng shui, she learned it from TikTok. I almost laughed. My mom told me all this when I set up my desk in elementary school. Sit solid, face open; keep the Bright Hall clear; left high, right low. Unpack these old rules, and almost every one maps onto modern environmental psychology.
What is face reading actually looking at? An ordinary person stared at the mirror for a long time. Maybe every line on your face is a mark of how you've lived.
