Explore 296 Hong Kong temple fortune sticks
2 followers
A free web tool for exploring 296 fortune sticks associated with three Hong Kong temples. Draw a stick or look up its number, check source notes, and reflect on a question. Six interface languages. Independent of the temples; contemporary interpretations are AI-assisted.
I built Mou-mong to make Hong Kong fortune-stick texts easier to look up and read on a phone.
The practical starting point is simple: if you already have a temple name and a stick number, you can find the corresponding text without entering your name, birthday or private question. You can also draw a stick online and use it as a prompt for reflection.
The project includes 296 sticks associated with Man Mo Temple, Wong Tai Sin and Che Kung. The tool has six interface languages; the accompanying articles and source notes are mainly in Traditional Chinese. I have kept the source notes visible because not all transcriptions have the same provenance, and the complete collection has not been checked against physical temple slips.
This is an independent project. The contemporary interpretations are AI-assisted, and they are separate from the traditional text. I would welcome feedback on readability and on how clearly the website explains that distinction.
