What is xin xăm? How to draw and read a fortune stick

Xin xăm is the temple custom of shaking a tube until one numbered stick falls, matching a fortune verse.

How to do it properly

Calm your mind and focus on ONE question; state your name and question; shake gently until a stick drops; match its number to the verse (often graded high/medium/low luck).

Reading the verse

Each verse has a poem and readings per topic — wealth, love, family, health, travel. A good verse builds confidence; a bad one advises caution, not fear.
