About Jiaobei:

Jiaobei is a traditional Chinese method of divination, also known as “casting jiao” or “casting beijiao.” It is mainly used to seek guidance from and communicate with deities. It consists of two crescent-shaped wooden or bamboo pieces, each with a flat side (yang) and a rounded side (yin). After they are cast onto the ground, the result is interpreted according to how they land:

One flat side and one rounded side is a “Sacred Cup,” which means the deity permits, agrees, or confirms, or that the situation will proceed smoothly.

Two flat sides is a “Laughing Cup,” which means the question was not asked clearly enough, or the deity is not giving a definite answer. The question should be reorganized and asked again.

Two rounded sides is a “Yin Cup,” which means the deity does not agree, it is not permitted, or the timing is not right.

In some regions, three consecutive Sacred Cups are regarded as a clear sign from the deity.

Notes for Casting Jiaobei:

• Do not show disrespect toward the deities.

• Before casting the Jiaobei blocks, please wash your hands and keep your body and clothing clean as a sign of respect for the deities.

• Ask only one question at a time. Do not greedily ask several questions at once or ask questions that are vague or unclear.

• Stay focused while casting the Jiaobei blocks. Do not talk to others, watch television, or think about unrelated matters.

• Do not cast the Jiaobei blocks before you have finished stating your request or question.

• Remember not to be suspicious, greedy, or fearful.

• Make your question as clear as possible. A “yes or no” question is recommended.

• Do not repeatedly cast the Jiaobei blocks for the same question or ask the same question again within a short period of time.

• Jiaobei customs and confirmation rules may vary by region. You may follow local traditions and choose the method of consultation that is most appropriate for you.
