What means "Kaucim" or "签筒" (Qiāntǒng)?
"Kaucim" or "签筒" (Qiāntǒng) is a divinatory tool commonly used in East Asian cultures, especially in Taoism, Buddhism, and other beliefs. Well known in China as Oracle of Guan Yin in Buddhist traditions. The Kaucim is called on for questions about destiny, marriage, career, health, etc. For thousands of years practitioners interpreted the poems as the guidance of the deities. Very common in Taiwan, Hong Kong, southern China, and among Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. Kaucim consultations are particularly frequent during the Chinese New Year or during major religious holidays.
What is Kaucim bucket or 签筒 Chien Tung (Qiāntǒng)?
The Kau Cim Bucket is a cylinder bucket containing thin bamboo or wooden sticks, usually placed in front of a temple or altar. Each stick bears a number corresponding to a divinatory poem (qiānshī, 谶语), used to predict fortune and answer the questions of the consultant. Traditionally, the divination stick tube is made of wood or bamboo, although modern versions are made of plastic or metal.
What Kind of Kaucim Fortune-Telling is used here?
This fortune-telling method is based on the traditional Kaucim practice. It starts with a bucket filled with 78 numbered bamboo sticks. When shaken, one stick mysteriously falls out—that number holds your fortune. Traditionally, an interpreter would read its meaning from a book, but here, the computer does it for you!
Your reading begins with "Your luck for today." If you draw a number after sunset, the fortune applies to the next day instead. You'll also receive insights into "Your fortune" and "Important events" that may unfold.
Before you begin, take a moment to focus on a wish. At the end of your reading, you'll discover whether "Your wish" is likely to come true!
