How to Use Jiaobei Blocks with Fortune Sticks
Hold one question in mind, release the pair of moon blocks into a clear space and wait for them to settle. Read the flat or curved faces pointing up. If you are at a temple, check its instructions before you begin.
We checked the Longshan Temple guide for the fortune-stick sequence below. It distinguishes asking permission to draw from confirming the stick you have drawn.
Prepare the request
Longshan Temple asks worshippers to introduce themselves and explain their question before requesting a fortune stick. It specifies one question per poem. Follow the temple’s directions for what to say and where to stand.
Keep the question unchanged during the confirmation. If you switch from work to a relationship halfway through, you will no longer be confirming the same request.
Cast and read the blocks
Allow space for the blocks to land without hitting anyone. Once they have stopped, compare the upper faces.
One flat and one curved is sheng bei. Both flat is xiao bei; both curved is yin bei. The three-result guide explains the customary meanings. If a physical block remains upright, ask an attendant how to proceed.
Confirm a fortune stick at Longshan Temple
In the temple’s published procedure, an affirmative cast permits the worshipper to draw a stick. The stick number is then confirmed with three consecutive sheng bei. A laughing or negative result during confirmation sends the worshipper back to draw another stick.
Once the number is confirmed, the worshipper collects the matching poem. This describes Longshan Temple’s procedure in Taipei. Other temples may use a different sequence, so do not transfer it automatically to Wong Tai Sin or another shrine.
Use the online tool
The English jiaobei tool is free and needs no account. Form a yes-or-no question, tap the casting control and read the settled result. This page simulates the three ordinary patterns and offers no paid reading in English.
For a question about your next action, the question guide gives wording examples. A single online cast is enough to begin reflecting; there is no requirement to repeat it until you get sheng bei.
