  • 香港政府農曆新年求籤活動是指每年農曆年初二(車公誕),香港政府派出一名官員或公職人士代表香港,到沙田車公廟為香港來年運程求籤。該名人士從籤筒出搖出一枝籤,再由廟內解籤師傅解釋籤文意思。而車公廟所屬地區之的沙田鄉事委員會於該天也會派出其主席,為該區求籤。 起初是由布政司署政務科或民政事務局官員負責求籤,但2003年新上任的民政事務局局長何志平為香港求得下籤。同年香港因SARS疫症而百業蕭條,而政府推行香港基本法23條立法和官員偷步買車避稅,更導致50多萬人參加七一遊行,兩名問責制官員辭職。有人批評何志平本身是基督徒,根本就不相信道教的車公,在求籤前沒有齋戒沐浴,求籤時又身穿黑衣,因此求得下籤,自2004年開始,改由新界鄉議局主席負責(2004年至2015年為劉皇發,2016年起為劉業強)。 車公廟的籤筒有96支籤,上籤35支、中籤44支、下籤17支。除了香港政府外,其他市民或民間團體也會為運程求籤。 (zh)
