The Chinese Fortune Telling method of ascertaining the future is based upon a long known correlation of human and natural events and is accomplished symbolically by means of fortune sticks. Using both hands, the fortune teller holds a bamboo or leather container containing numbered sticks and shakes it, causing one of the sticks to rise and fall out. The number on the stick is cross-referenced with ancient texts to obtain a fortune. These fortunes are generally short poems or rhymes and generally indicate the possibilities and general conditions which lie ahead, not specific details about events. This in turn helps people order their lives to meet or prepare for those conditions. The particular Chinese Fortune Telling indicates but does not guarantee your future. Just as a road signs points your way, but you must decide and travel the route yourself. These Chinese Fortune Telling make great gifts and are fabulous coffee table conversation pieces.
