Three questions to ask yourself
- Reading “櫝藏無價寶和珍”, who or what comes to mind first?
- “只管他鄉外處尋” — which part of this is already in your hands?
- “不如安靜莫勞心” — if you gave yourself a deadline, when would it be?
About this set
A folk collection of fortune-stick poems named after Guanyin; this site only explains the text. It is the most widely known set, 100 in all. Most verses are four lines of seven characters, graded upper, middle or lower, and each is often paired with a story from history or opera.
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. For cultural entertainment only — it can't predict the future and isn't advice of any kind. MoZhu is not affiliated with any temple or religious organization.
