From housewives to students and high-ranking officials, people from
all social backgrounds in China and Taiwan visit fate calculation
masters to learn about their destiny. How do clients assess the
diviner's skills? How does one become a fortune-teller? How is a
person's fate calculated? The Art of Fate Calculation explores how
conceptions of fate circulate in Chinese and Taiwanese societies
while resisting uniformization and institutionalization. This is
not only due to the stigma of "superstition" but also to the
internal dynamic of fate calculation practice and learning.
