  • Qiuqian of kau cim is een manier om de toekomst te voorspellen. Het komt oorspronkelijk uit China waar voorspelling een grote bedrijvigheid was. Qiuqian kan men in een taoïstische tempel, Chinees-boeddhistische tempel of Chinese tempel doen. Het gebeuren is vooral bedoeld voor mensen die geloven in een van deze twee geloven (taoïsme en Chinees boeddhisme) of een mengeling ervan.

  • 求籤,是一種占卜的行為,籤,或稱神籤、靈籤,是東亞民間用來求問吉凶禍的占卜工具,以籤來占卜的行為稱為求籤。現今的道觀、佛寺和廟宇,大多擺上籤筒供人求籤問卜。古時在籤上印有籤詩,由信眾抄錄回家,但現今寺廟大多會將籤文,另外印至於他處薄紙片上,讓信徒於抽取籤條且核對籤條上的番號(或干支、六十四卦)後,再抽取相對應的籤詩紙片獲得相關詩文解答。華人地區重視此項活動,臺灣各大廟宇會在農曆新春時期抽出「國運籤」,香港政府也有農曆新年求籤活動。 (zh)
