Nokia Fengshui 2008: Mobiles and Mystic Forces in Perfect Alignment

This is probably one of the reasons that make China so mysterious – it has a long history of fortune telling and sometimes everything just goes out in a way as predicted. Previously, the geomancers used magnetic compasses – which are extremely elaborate – to determine emplacements favorable for the movement of vital energy and protect against destructive force – a practice called testing geomancy (or ce fengshui测风水 in Chinese); now, users are told their Nokia cell phones can figure out where their fortunes are – just try Nokia Fengshui 2008 for free.

This software was a brainchild of a famous geomancer Huang Wenchao, nicknamed “observing the dragon (guan long)”, who studied fengshui for more than 20 years. To start with the system, pick one of the 12 animals representing the year one was born on the main menu– for instance, you were born in the year of monkey, click it, then you get a comprehensive guidance of your fortune of the year and in-depth analysis in terms of career, finance, health and private life. There is another category concerning how to avoid misfortune and multiply good luck. For instance, if your kid is an all time troublemaker for no reason, it might be the color of your floor board conflicting with your other possessions. You need change it！

On one discussion forum, a user commented that in spite of the slowness in response, the software is powerful in terms of function. “It even offers a lot of background pictures for downloading to make an upward curve of your year,” he exclaimed.

Another feature of the software is that it marks out on the phone calendars the time and dates of good and ill luck with reference to the personal data you type into the phone. When to get married, when to start a business, when to buy lotteries, when to launch a journey and so on forth – the answers to these who-knows questions seem to have found their way to the Nokia cell phones.

The sharp turns of the transitional period in China create a good number of people more eager than ever to reveal their future before it naturally descends. The ups and downs in stock market, house market, oil market, gold market, to name but a few, all set on their nerve to just live in present. With no god to pray with, fortune-telling cell phones look like an adorable alternative, although how much the prediction is countable is yet to be testified.
