Kau Cim, Kau Chim or Lottery poetry is a fortune telling practice that originated in China in which the querent (person asking the question) requests answers from a sacred oracle lot. The practice is often performed in a Taoist or Buddhist temple in front of an altar. Kau Cim is often referred to as Chien Tung or Chinese Fortune Sticks by westerners. In the USA, a version has been sold since 1915 under the name Chi Chi Sticks. Kau Cim is also sometimes known as "The Oracle of Kuan Yin" in Buddhist traditions. #kaucim #kauchim #lotterypoetry #求签 #求簽 #chientung #chinesefortunesticks #chichisticks #YuMoGuiGwaiFaiDiZao #精靈惡魔鬼魂怪物快離開 #精灵恶魔鬼魂怪物快离开 #buddhisttemple #buddhist #temples #templerun #templerun1 #templerunmanila #templerunbinondo #yuchengco #nueva #pochuanamtemple #pochuanam #wanderingcat #wheninbinondo #binondogirl #mobilephotography (at Binondo, Manila)
