Hey everyone! I'm the maker of Shefu. As someone who's been studying divination for over five years, I want to share why I built this. I'm Chinese and deeply fascinated by various divination systems - from my family's traditional methods to Qimen Dunjia, Da Liu Ren, and Meihua Yishu. I also love Western systems like Lenormand and tarot, and I'm currently eyeing geomancy. What intrigues me most isn't just getting accurate readings, but understanding WHY they work and exploring if we can create new divination methods. The thing is, I've learned that studying multiple systems creates a problem: how do you actually master them instead of just playing around? That's when I discovered "Shefu" (射覆) - an ancient Chinese divination practice where someone hides an object and you divine what it is. Only when you get it exactly right does it count. It's perfect training for ANY divination system because all divination is fundamentally about symbols and analogies. But here's my challenge: I'm extremely introverted. I don't have friends who'd play Shefu with me regularly. And when you ask non-practitioners to help, they often don't understand the difficulty and might even mock your abilities (trust me on this one 😅). So I built shefu.space - an AI-powered Shefu platform. The AI generates three types of riddles: - Story riddles: Divine how a fictional scenario unfolds - Object riddles: Identify an object from vague clues (6 choices) - Number riddles: Figure out quantities in quirky stories (6 choices) After weeks of testing, I found number riddles were brutally difficult - too many would just crush confidence. So I adjusted their frequency to 5%. Important note: While I included three divination tools on the site (Tarot, Lenormand, Meihua Yishu), these are just convenience tools I personally use. You can practice with ANYTHING - runes, astrology, pendulum, geomancy, scrying, your own unique method. Shefu works with any divination system because it's about interpreting symbols to find concrete answers. The platform rewards "hole-in-one" accurate readings and encourages sharing your divination process. Sometimes reading a master's analysis is more valuable than practicing yourself. There's also a simple leaderboard - one point per first-try success. This isn't about proving which system is "better" - it's about creating a pure practice space where you can truly validate and improve your skills, regardless of your chosen method.
