How do the moon blocks (Jiao Bei) work?

Jiao Bei is a traditional Taiwanese divination method using two red crescent-shaped wooden blocks. You hold them together, ask a yes/no question, then drop them. If one flat and one round — YES. Both flat — ambiguous. Both round — NO.

What is 还愿 (huányuàn)? How does it work? ▾

In Chinese folk religion, 还愿 means "fulfilling your vow." When you pray and your wish comes true, tradition says you should return to give thanks — this is not a payment but an act of gratitude. On DivineEast, you can fulfill your vow by supporting the temple through our 还愿 link in the footer. It is entirely voluntary. The gods value sincerity, not amounts.

How accurate is the fortune telling? ▾

Our fortune system draws from centuries-old Chinese divination traditions. The moon blocks (Jiao Bei) ritual has been practiced in Taiwanese and Fujian temples for over 400 years. The text fortune readings synthesize I Ching principles, five-element theory, and zodiac analysis based on your inputs. Think of it as a mirror for your intuition — the gods speak, but your heart interprets.

Do I need to be religious to use this site? ▾

Not at all. DivineEast is designed for anyone curious about Chinese culture and spirituality. Many users come purely for cultural interest, historical learning, or fun. The rituals and fortune readings can be approached as cultural experiences, mindfulness exercises, or genuine spiritual practice — the choice is entirely yours.

Can I really pray and light incense online? ▾

In Chinese folk religion, sincerity of heart matters more than physical location. During the COVID-19 pandemic, major temples including Lungshan Temple in Taipei and Wong Tai Sin in Hong Kong launched virtual prayer services. Our virtual incense is designed with the same principle — your intention and focus are what the gods perceive, not the material form. Prayers are stored for one year as a digital record of your devotion.

Which Chinese gods are featured on DivineEast? ▾

We feature 28 major Chinese deities including Cai Shen (God of Wealth), Guan Yin (Bodhisattva of Compassion), Guan Yu (God of War & Loyalty), Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Nezha, Mazu (Sea Goddess), Yue Lao (God of Love), and many more. Each deity has a detailed profile with legend, worship instructions, and domain information.

Is this website free to use? ▾

Yes — completely free, no signup required, no ads. DivineEast is a passion project built to share Chinese culture with the world. All features — fortune telling, moon block divination, virtual incense lighting, zodiac reading, and deity encyclopedia — are freely accessible to everyone.
