标题:China’s Spiritual Economy Is Booming as Gen Z Turns  to Tarot 
Anxious about their prospects, younger Chinese are seeking a glimpse of the future through astrology and other forms of fortune-telling. 


正文:At a dimly lit bar in Beijing, the rattle of wooden sticks used for fortune telling  blends with the clink of cocktail glasses. Patrons here aren’t just ordering drinks — they seek a glimpse into the future. These hybrid venues — where mixology meets mysticism —are cropping up across Chinese cities, offering drinks alongside tarot readings and other means of divining whatever is to come. It’s part of a broader boom in what analysts are calling China’s Xuanxue, or metaphysical, economy — an expanding sector that includes astrology, tarot and crystal healing. 


知识点:dimly lit /ˌdɪmli ˈlɪt/(英);/ˌdɪmli ˈlɪt/(美),adj. 
Poorly illuminated; having a faint or weak light. ;光线昏暗的;微亮的 
• The old bookstore had dimly lit corners filled with dusty books.这家旧书店有光线昏暗的角落,堆满了落灰的书籍。
