This story is a favorite with fortune tellers because it seems to be able to explain that age-old question: two people with the same horoscope may end up with different stations in life due to the different experiences they have encountered, yet on closer examination their fates in some ways take on very similar outlines.
相信命理的人喜歡引這個例子，因為它似乎可以解釋那個「千古疑問」：有同一八字的兩個人，因為後天境遇變數不同，以致富貴利祿厚薄不一，但仔細相比，兩個人的「命格形勢」在某方面還是很「類似」的！
