What's the point of asking for divination in the Taoist temple?

Answer 1

The Taoist temple had the following requirements:
1. ** Time **: Ask for and read lots before 4pm. No reading on the next day.
2. [Pre-preparation: You can eat vegetarian food and take a bath before asking for the divination. When entering the Taoist temple, you must not be disheveled. Try to walk on both sides. Do not stand or sit on the threshold.]
3. ** Prophecy process **: Before asking for a lot, read your personal information in your heart, indicating the purpose of asking for a lot and what you want. You must be sincere when asking for a lot. If you are not sincere, the lot will not work. The incense burner outside the temple was lit first, then the gods of heaven and earth and the door god at the door were worshipped. After entering the Taoist temple, they began to worship from the middle of the main hall, then the left and right of the main hall, and then the left hall. Different Taoist temples might have different ways of asking for lots. Some lots were placed in a lot pot and shaken. Some lots were scattered on the ground and could be taken at will. After taking the lot, it might involve using a special "ritual implement"(such as a bamboo shoot shaped object) to repeatedly throw it on the ground and pick it up to determine whether the lot drawn was correct (one positive and one negative meant "right". Three consecutive times of one positive and one negative meant that the lot drawn was correct. Otherwise, the lot had to be changed to confirm again).
4. ** Draw related **: After drawing the lucky draw, the person who draws the lucky draw will explain the corresponding draw. The person who draws the lucky draw may need to spend money to buy an amulet.
5. [Special etiquette: Make a wish reasonably. The procedure is to burn three incense sticks, kowtow three times, kneel down, and state the details (the wish is a silent wish, so no one needs to know). After you're done, kowtow three times.] He could fulfill his wish wherever he wished. He only needed to fulfill his wish when his wish was fulfilled, and he didn't need to fulfill his wish if it wasn't fulfilled. When worshipping Zhenwu Great Emperor, one could not offer pomegranate, and when worshipping the Great God, one could not use the palm ceremony but the hand ceremony.
