What are Chinese fortune sticks?
Also called Kau Chim, Kau Cim, or fortune-telling sticks
Chinese fortune sticks are numbered bamboo lots used in temple divination, also known as divination sticks, wishing sticks, or chien tung. Wong Tai Sin fortune sticks use a 100-stick set, and each number leads to a short classical poem.
One question, one stick
Bring one real question, draw one stick, then read the verse against the topic you care about: love, career, health, study, home, or the whole situation.
Online fortune telling, done honestly
The reading starts from the original poem. It is a clear mirror for your situation: it shows you where you stand right now, and it is not a replacement for professional advice.
The original Sik Sik Yuen verses · all free, no ads.
Your question stays in your own browser unless you buy a reading.
One stick, two ways to read it
First understand the verse. Then, when you need to, understand yourself.
Plain-English reading: understand the verse
Prepared in advance for this stick and topic. See what the verse is saying — a first frame for the thing you asked about. Seven topics per stick, all free, no ads.
Deep reading: understand yourself
Uses AI to apply the same verse to the exact situation you enter. Our team develops the reading tools, with practitioner interviews informing our model research.
You want to change jobs, but you are not sure whether the timing is right.
Willows hang their curtains, locking in green mist.
The opportunity is already moving. You do not need to force it.
Do not resign in a rush this month. Start negotiating conditions, asking for resources, and testing whether the offer has real support behind it.
Full advice is in the reading you buy.
The reading is not the end. Decide what you will do, and thirty days on, check your answer against it. Not whether the stick was right. Whether you did the thing.
How we approach a reading
Research with practitioners in Hong Kong
We interview Chinese divination practitioners in person and use the material to fine-tune a model. Our team develops the reading agents and tools. You can read more about our research and approach.
Each tradition has its own method
Fortune sticks follow their poems and stories. BaZi and Zi Wei use birth charts, while palm readings work from a photo. The information you provide and the way we read it depend on the tool you choose.
A question today, a reading to return to
You can continue a conversation where follow-up questions are available. Year Companion pairs a personal book with monthly readings, while the Sign Library & Journal keeps your fortune-stick readings and notes together.
See what you get before paying
The 700 public Wong Tai Sin readings are free. Personalized readings, reports, and longer services each explain their price, contents, and access period on the product page.
Decisions stay with you
Use a reading alongside your own experience. It cannot guarantee an outcome or replace a doctor, lawyer, or qualified financial adviser. Seek appropriate help for health, legal, money, or safety concerns.

Frequently asked
Which reading should I start with?
For one question on your mind, try a free fortune stick. To explore your habits and temperament, start with a BaZi or Zi Wei birth chart, or a palm photo. A compatibility reading looks at two birth charts together to explore how you relate to each other.
What else can I use on kaucim.ai?
For a specific question, try Che Kung or Guanyin fortune sticks, Plum Blossom, or Qi Men Dun Jia. BaZi, Zi Wei, and Palmary explore personal traits; Yuelao and compatibility focus on relationships. Year Companion offers a personal book and monthly readings. There are also Five Elements crystal suggestions and Riso portraits. Available languages vary by product.
How many fortune sticks are there?
100 sticks total. Each one comes with readings for 7 parts of life: career, wealth, love, health, study, home, and the whole situation. That's 700 readings you can explore on kaucim.ai.
Can I draw fortune sticks online?
Yes. Shake for a random stick or type in a number if you already drew one at the temple. You'll get your reading right away in English, Chinese, or Thai. Japanese runs on the same 100 sticks at /ja/omikuji, where a temple number works too, across five topics instead of seven.
What are Chinese fortune sticks?
Chinese fortune sticks are also called Kau Chim or Kau Cim. You ask one clear question, draw one numbered bamboo stick, then read the poem and grade tied to that number. kaucim.ai focuses on the Wong Tai Sin 100-stick tradition.
Is this a free online fortune teller?
All 700 public Wong Tai Sin readings are free with no signup. A personalized reading of your stick costs $2.99 once. Other products have their own free previews and paid options. Check each product page for what is included, the price, and how long access lasts.
I drew a bad stick. Now what?
Read the whole interpretation and consider which cautions fit your situation. A Poor grade does not mean something bad will happen, and you do not need to pay to change your luck.
Is the interpretation AI-generated?
Our team prepares the free sign readings in advance. Personalized readings use AI alongside the relevant texts, chart tools, or image analysis. We interview practitioners in Hong Kong and use the material to fine-tune a model. Plum Blossom casts and Qi Men charts use fixed calculation rules. Online readings are not individually reviewed by a practitioner.
Are you the official Wong Tai Sin Temple?
No. Sik Sik Yuen is the religious organization that operates Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong, and they run their own online lookup at siksikyuen.org.hk. kaucim.ai is an independent project that translates the tradition into plain English. We honor the tradition; we don't represent the temple.
Will this predict my future?
No. A reading can help you examine the situation you describe, but it cannot verify what will happen. Do not use it in place of medical, legal, financial, or safety advice.
How does kaucim.ai handle my questions and photos?
We do not publish or sell your inputs. Personalized tools send only the information needed for the requested result to the relevant service and infrastructure providers, while payment details are handled by payment providers. Original palm photos are not stored by kaucim.ai after analysis; room photos are deleted within 7 days at the latest. See the privacy policy for product-specific details.
How is Year Companion different from a single chart reading?
Year Companion combines BaZi and Zi Wei in a personal Year Ahead book, with monthly readings and follow-up questions over the year. A single chart reading focuses on the report you buy. Each page lists the contents and period of access before you pay.
Can I return to a reading later?
Tools that support follow-up questions let you continue with the situation you described. The Sign Library & Journal lets you save fortune-stick readings, note what you plan to do, and revisit them later. Follow-up limits and access periods vary by product.
Five grades, plain English
Everything's lining up.
Things are going your way.
Positive — put in the effort.
A crossroads. Choose carefully.
Slow down. Pay attention.
Most-read sticks
What is this?
Fortune sticks are a ritual with around 1,700 years of legend behind it, kept alive at Hong Kong's Wong Tai Sin Temple. You shake a bamboo cup, one stick falls out, and the number leads to a short poem. The poem is a mirror: it shows you what you already feel but have not put into words.
On kaucim.ai you can draw a stick, type the number you got at the temple, choose the topic on your mind, and read a plain-English interpretation grounded in the original poem. The reading shows you your situation clearly, and it does not decide for you.
kaucim.ai is an independent project, not affiliated with Sik Sik Yuen or Wong Tai Sin Temple. Sik Sik Yuen has its own official online lookup at siksikyuen.org.hk →
