[Taiwanese style] A thorough explanation of how to draw fortune slips!

It's not easy! This time, we'll introduce how to draw fortune-telling slips in Taiwan. 🧧 Unlike in Japan, fortune-telling slips in Taiwan are a ritual in which you ask the gods for advice using a poe. You can ask about something or discuss your worries with the gods, and they'll give you advice on what to do. So before drawing your fortune, there's a ritual in which you ask the gods, "May I ask this question?" Procedure: 1. Silently recite your name, address, date of birth, and the question you want to ask. 2. Take two poe, red crescent-shaped pieces of wood, and throw them simultaneously onto the floor. If one poe appears as a "Holy Grail" (heads up) and the other as a "Third Grail" (tails down), move on to the next step. If not, change your question and try again. *You can try up to three times per day. 💪 If both poe appear as "Laughing Cups" (heads up), try asking more specifically. If both poe appear as "Yin Cups" (tails down), it means that it might not be the right time... ③ If you get the Holy Grail (God's approval), draw a stick from the tube and check the number written on it. (You can't stop here...) ④ Use Poe again to ask God if the number you drew in ③ is okay. If you get a "Holy Grail" (face down), move on! If you get a "Laughing Cup" or "Yin Cup," draw a new number. ⑤ Draw a fortune slip from the drawer with the same number as the "Holy Grail" that got the OK. ⑥ The upper left corner of the fortune slip lists your fortune ranking. "Shangshang" is equivalent to "Daikichi" in Japan. "Xiaxia" is equivalent to "Kyou." Even if you get a "Kyou" (bad luck), Taiwanese fortune slips provide appropriate advice on what to do next, so don't be too upset if you get "Xiaxia"! All content is in Chinese. You can translate, or if there's a Japanese-speaking volunteer nearby, ask them to explain. Taiwanese-style fortune-telling slips are a little different from the Japanese style. 🧧 You can't draw your fortune until you get a "YES" from the gods. Why not try a fortune-telling slip using Poe? ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ◆A major temple in Taipei where you can draw fortune-telling slips ⛩Longshan Temple 🌱3-minute walk from Longshan Temple Station ⏰Mon-Sun 6:00-22:00 *Fortune-telling information desk: 10:00-19:00 ⛩Xingtian Temple 🌱5-minute walk from Xingtian Temple Station ⏰Mon-Sun 4:00-22:00 *Fortune telling: From 11:00 AM ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ #TravelGuide #TaiwanTrip #Taiwan #TaipeiTourism #Taipei #XingtianGong #LongshanTemple #TaiwanFortuneTelling #FortuneTelling #Poetry
