"Experience Unique Fortune-telling and Purification Rituals at Temples in Taiwan!"

This ancient divination practice involves throwing red-painted moon-shaped wooden pieces with heartfelt wishes.
The results of the divination come in three forms after casting.”
“Results of Casting Bamboo Lots (擲茭 – Zhì Jiāo): When ‘Yin Cup’ (陰杯) or ‘Smile Cup’ (笑杯) appear, it signifies ‘No ✘,’ indicating that wishes or expectations may not come true. Conversely, when the ‘Holy Grail’ (聖杯) appears, it signifies ‘OK ◎,’ indicating that the wish will be fulfilled, carrying a highly auspicious meaning.”
