Some examples ~ 連續擲出3次「笑筊」，她不禁自嘲：「月老在笑我啦，可能因為我之前吵祂很多次了……」 去年中，終於找到桃園大溪距離石門水庫不到一公里的農地，附近沒有工廠，水質、土壤純淨，讓人一眼就喜歡，唯一的缺點是正對著一座廟「福山巖」，父母覺得風水上有顧忌，折衷方式是要他進到廟裡問神明，結果神明一連給了8個聖筊，他決定租下，4分地一年租金一萬元。 There are no factories in the area, and the water and soil are untainted. The only problem was that there was a temple directly opposite the parcel, and Xie's parents were worried that the fengshui could be unlucky. They finally agreed that Xie could rent the land if he got the approval of the deity in the temple, so Xie went and asked, and got eight straight positive responses! He now rents 4000 square meters (four-tenths of a hectare) of land for NT$10,000 per year. In the end, Xie's dad, a taxi driver in Taipei, also moved out to Daxi to lend a hand getting the farm up and running. 紫南宮預借信眾發財金金額以擲筊決定，一次就獲得聖筊（一正一反）者可求金600元，第二次獲聖筊可求500元，依次遞減，6次都沒能獲得聖筊者，只好下次再來。 Divination blocks determine the amount. Would-be borrowers get six throws of the crescent-shaped blocks. If one lands flat side up and the other flat side down, the “applicant” receives the loan. If the first throw is successful, the borrower gets the full NT$600. The amount decreases on each throw of the blocks, and those who have no success after six throws go away empty handed. |
