占測這門類玄學在中國歷史上源遠流長，其起源有據可考可追溯到最早的伏羲氏，之後周文王演八卦，則算命開始逐步得以發展，具體的發展過程比較漫長，每一代都有或多或少的貢獻。
『算命』是將中國傳統易學文化中的『天人合一』原理應用於預測人生軌跡變化規律的方法。
術數家用人出生的『年、月、日、時』按天幹、地支依次排列成四個柱八個字《稱為『四柱八字』》，再用所排的幹支所屬五行生克推算人的命運，斷定人的吉兇禍福。
易學在中國歷史上源遠流長，據中國之聲《新聞晚高峰》報道，算命或起於先秦，當古埃及人用紙草記事、古巴比倫人以泥版為書時，中國的古人劈竹成篾，削薄打磨、火烤編連，將最鮮活的史實書於竹簡，傳遺後世。
算命的起源大約可以追溯到夏商時期，從出土的甲骨文大多是卜辭這一點可以得到印證，那時候的人們在舉行婚嫁、征伐、祭祀等重大事情之前，都會燒龜甲或演蓍草對該事進行虔誠的卜筮，借此判斷吉兇，這大抵是早期算命術的萌芽。
到了周朝時期，周文王、周公等人在前人經驗的基礎上整理成書，取名為《周易》，才把卜筮之術上升到理論層面。
人們對命運的大膽探索及陰陽五行學說的確立是在春秋時期，再到東漢王充稟氣說的創立，使中國的命學理論有了明確的哲學根基，逐漸形成了一套有理論、有方法的卜卦算命系統，之後則算命開始逐步得以發展，具體的發展過程比較漫長。
算命以《易經》為根基、以陰陽五行體系為理論依據，其中《易經》有『三易』，包括《連山》、《歸藏》、《周易》三部易書，內容極其豐富，對中國幾千年來的政治、經濟、文化等各個領域都產生了極其深刻的影響。
是闡述天地世間關於萬象變化的古老經典，是博大精深的辯證法哲學書，是中國傳統思想文化中自然哲學與人文實踐的理論根源，是古代漢民族思想、智慧的結晶，被譽為『大道之源』。
算命作為一門探究人類命運的學問，不乏對其感興趣之人，有名的算命大師也有不少，唐代有李虛中、李淳風、袁天罡等，五代有徐居易，宋有徐子平、僧道洪，元有徐大升，明有劉伯溫，清有沈孝瞻、陳素庵，民國有韋千裡、袁樹珊、任鐵樵，現代有邵偉華，李居明，秦陽明等。
更有許先潮盲派八字理論，盲派快速算命秘訣，金口鐵斷算命秘要等。
在古代算命通常是一種利用個人切身資訊，例如臉與手的紋路，出生八字、姓名筆劃等配合術數來預測或判斷命運吉兇福禍並且尋求指點迷津的行為亦稱指迷算命。
千百年來，經過人們的不斷發展與完善，已經形成了一套較為完善的理論體系，而且已深深地紮根與人們的心靈中，經久不衰，顯示了強大的生命力。

以下是西方算卦英文版
He only had a hundred gold coins each year for living expenses. He wasn’t rich like some people.
『Haha！ Rand，just a hundred gold coins？
Aren’t you embarassed，saying such a number？
How about this. Loser pays ten thousand gold. Deal？
』 The nearby Yale said loudly.
『Ten thousand gold？
』
Upon hearing these words，many students in the hotel sucked in a cold breath. Ten thousand gold coins was not a small sum. There were perhaps only a very few number of students in the hotel who could so casually，calmly bring out such a large sum.
『Ten thousand gold？
』 Rand couldn’t help but feel his heart shake.
Although his clan was a large one，each year，he only received three thousand gold in living expenses. He didn’t come spend money at the Huadeli Hotel every day. Today，he only came to celebrate him and Rickson becoming the number one and number three victors of the tournament.
『Haha，don’t have the balls？
』 Yale pulled out a magicard，waving it around as he spoke.
『Rand，agree to him.』 Rickson said. 『We four bros should be able to pool together ten thousand gold coins. I refuse to believe that this little punk who came out of nowhere can be a match for you.』
Rand and his three bros glanced at each other.
『Fine！ Ten thousand gold it is！』
Rand said loudly，and then sneered towards Linley，『Let’s go. This place is too small. We’ll go to the arena where the tournament was held. If you have courage，follow me！』 After speaking，Rand arrogantly left the hotel，and his three bros followed him.
『Let’s go.』 Yale’s eyes were shining.
Reynolds and George were also excited. Linley nodded as well as he calmly chuckled，『Someone wants to give us ten thousand gold？
How can we refuse？
』
Linley，Yale，Reynolds，and George all left the hotel as well，directly heading for the arena.
The entire hotel was now in an uproar. A duel with a ten thousand gold coin wager on it was rarely seen，even by sixth grade students. And what’s more，of the duelists，one was the person who had just won the yearly tournament for first graders，Rand，and one was a mysterious kid that no one knew.
Immediately，many people paid their tabs and headed off in that direction as well.
The arena floor was made of limestone and extremely sturdy.
Right now，Rand and Linley were each standing on a separate side of an arena dueling area.
Beneath the upraised dueling area was a large group of people. After all，this was dinnertime，so on the way here from the Huadeli Hotel，one person became ten，and ten became a hundred. In a short period of time，a large group of people had been gathered. This exciting duel with a ten thousand gold wager was more than enough to attract many onlookers.
Seeing how many people had come and how noisy it had become，a look of confidence appeared on Rand’s face.
『Today，I am going to engage in a magical duel with this kid Linley，with the loser paying ten thousand gold coins and having to avoid the other in the future. Everyone，please be my witnesses.』 Rand said. He enjoyed the feeling of being watched by many. He didn’t suffer from any stage fright at all.
Immediately，many cheers exploded from below. During the yearly tournament，Rand had many supporters，while in contrast，very few people were supporting Linley.
But Linley just stood there on the dueling area quietly.
『Said enough？
』 Linley said calmly.
Rand smiled arrogantly. 『Let’s go.』
Rand and Linley almost simultaneously began to chant the words to a spell. As both were magi of the second rank，the spells they used were all of the first and second rank and were easy to cast，requiring just a word or two.
『Whoosh！』
Seven sharp blades of wind sprang into existence，slicing directly towards Rand.
『A magus of the second rank？
』 The experienced onlookers could immediately tell.
But Rand had released a spell at the same time，and five balls of dull red flame shot towards Linley as well. The blades of wind were much faster than the fireballs，however，and Rand was forced to dodge in a rather sorry fashion. But Linley casually and effectively sidestepped the fireballs. And，while doing so，Linley’s lips continued to move as he executed his second spell.
Earth style magic – Earth Tremor！
『Rumble….』
Rand felt the limestone beneath his feet begin to tremble violently. Under these circumstances，Rand couldn’t focus enough to chant any spells. Immediately afterwards，Linley released his third spell，and five fists of earthen-colored stone shot out rapidly towards him.
Rand couldn’t even maintain his footing on the shaking earth. He just barely dodged two of the stones.
『Thud.』
One stone smashed into Rand’s stomach，immediately causing him to vomit fresh blood. Rand hurriedly used his arms to cover his chest. Two more striking sounds were heard，and Rand was directly thrown off the dueling area，his entire body covered with dust.
Magic duel，Linley，victorious！
Linley calmly glanced at Rand once. Linley was very clear about the attack he had just used. With just a month’s recovery time at most，Rand would be fine. If he，Linley，had decided to be merciless，he could have directed the stones at Rand’s head and most likely finished him.
『A dual-element magus of the second rank. We have such an expert amongst us first graders？
』
The onlooking first graders called out，astonished. For a second rank magus to appear amongst the first graders was a rare event，much less a dual-element magus，who would be the absolute strongest amongst them.
『This kid controlled his mageforce very precisely，and his body movements were very nimble.』
Some of the fifth and sixth graders were a bit surprised. Just now，when facing the fireballs，Linley had been able to dodge while continuing to chant the words to a spell. From this one could tell how agile Linley was.
『Haha，Rand，did you really think you were number one？
Our dorm’s third bro，just using magic，is still able to easily trample you.』 Yale laughed loudly.
『Cough，cough.』 Rand stood up，clutching his chest.
Rand knew in his heart that just then，Linley had shown mercy.
『Yale，tomorrow，bring Linley. I’ll go with you to the Golden Bank of the Four Empires local branch to transfer money. Ten thousand golds. I’ll keep my word.』 Rand took a long look at the distant Linley. This defeat at Linley’s hands had totally woken Rand up from the arrogant haze of being a genius.
Even if one was talented，if one wasn’t strong enough，he would still be defeated by others！
『Linley，thank you！』 Rand said，bowing，causing Yale and others to be startled. And then，Rand stared at Linley and said resolutely，『But there will come a day when I will defeat you.』
And then Rand，still clutching his chest，left with the help of his bros，returning to his own residence.
『Linley，you are too awesome. You won your bros a lot of face！』 Reynolds immediately ran over and embraced Linley，who had stepped down.
Linley glanced around.
Many people were now staring at him and discussing him. Most of the talented people at the Ernst Institute had become well-known already. Nobody expected such an individual to appear out of nowhere amongst the first graders and easily defeat Rand，the tournament champion.
『Hi Linley，my name is Danni [Dan’ni]，a water magus of the first rank. I’m glad to meet you.』 Immediately，a golden-haired girl with a tall，slender figure walked over and said to Linley with a smile.
『Hi，my name is Linley.』 Linley didn’t have the habit of talking to strangers much. 『Sorry，I’m going to go train and enter the meditative trance now.』
After speaking，Linley glanced expressively at his three bros. Yale and the others knew what he was thinking，and immediately，the four bros ignored everyone around them and departed，leaving behind that young lady，Danni，who frowned unhappily.
Previous Chapter
Book 2，Growing Up，Chapter 21 – The Proulx Gallery (part 1)
The Golden Bank of the Four Empires was a bank that had been jointly established by the Yulan continent’s Four Great Empires. People who were capable of opening a magicrystal card account with the bank were undoubtedly people of great wealth. Given that the card itself cost a hundred gold coins，normal people wouldn’t be willing to part with such a high sum.
Ten thousand gold coins，if divided into hand-sized pouches，would fill a hundred pouches. Even a burlap rice sack would be half-filled and very heavy.
『A hundred gold coins，gone like that.』 Walking out from the local branch of the Golden Bank of the Four Empires within the Ernst Institute，Linley couldn’t help but sigh to himself. Now，next to his chest，was a magicrystal card of his own.
