塔罗牌热

In 2023, tarot cards went from niche hobby to mainstream obsession among young Chinese — not necessarily because Gen-Z suddenly believes in mysticism, but because when the job market is grim and the future feels foggy, asking a deck of illustrated cards 'will I ever be okay?' starts to seem perfectly reasonable. Part irony, part genuine comfort-seeking, it's anxiety with aesthetic packaging.

Against a backdrop of post-pandemic youth unemployment spikes and intense academic and career pressure, many young Chinese turned to tarot, astrology, and other forms of divination as coping mechanisms. It reflects a broader search for agency and meaning when conventional paths — good grades, good job, good life — felt increasingly uncertain or inaccessible.
