FORTUNE-ZH(6)

💖 FORTUNE-ZH — the Games Manual one 🎀

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about fortune-zh — the little cutie that serves Chinese-language fortunes. She's a page from the Games Manual section (section 6, iykyk) and she is lowkey iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fortune-zh — Chinese Data files for fortune 🀄️💫

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fortune-zh

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just vibes. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, fortune-zh is a simple shell script, right? and what she does is invoke fortune — but with the Chinese data files and their preset proportions. that's the whole thing. she's not doing calculus, she's just handing fortune the good stuff in the right amounts. periodt. 🔥

🎀 DATAFILE 🎀

here's where the magic lives, bestie — three whole files and they're all serving:

• /usr/share/games/fortunes/tang300 — about 300 Poetries from Tang dynasty. three hundred. three hundred. the Tang dynasty really said "let me feed the girlies for centuries" and honestly? ate. 👑
• /usr/share/games/fortunes/song100 — about 100 Poetries from Song dynasty. a whole century of poems, curated, glowing, no notes. 🧚
• /usr/share/games/fortunes/chinese — Miscellaneous Cookies in Chinese language, both ancient and modern, and get this — it's excluding those tang300 and song100 already included. so no double-dipping, no repeats, we respect the boundaries here. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• fortune(6) — the main character. go say hi to her too, she's the reason any of this works. 🫶
