Three questions to ask yourself
- “一春萬事苦憂煎” — which situation in your life does this line bring to mind?
- “夏裡營求始帖然” — in that situation, what matters most to you, and what would you hate to lose?

A folk collection of fortune-stick poems named after Guan Yu, the Three Kingdoms general; this site only explains the text. 100 in all. The four-line verses often speak of timing, advancing and holding back. Grades range from 大吉 (very auspicious) to 下下 (lowest).
The poems are traditional folk texts in the public domain, checked against several published versions. The ink paintings are drawn by the site from each poem's imagery.
