Hong Kong Lunar New year kau cim tradition is a divination process where a Hong Kong citizen represents the city in a ritual called kau cim. The event takes place in Che Kung temple, Sha Tin where a fortune stick is drawn. The luck of the city for that upcoming Lunar year will be decided by the fate of the message on that fortune stick. The message is written in Traditional Chinese and then interpreted by Feng shui sifu and fortune tellers.

Tradition

Usually one stick is drawn for the fortune of the city by a main representative person. Other sticks maybe drawn for smaller community divinations. The stick fortunes usually vary from good (上), mid (中) or bad (下). Each level also has a varying degree within. For example stick #27 is unlucky. It relates to the story of Qin Shi Huang, first emperor of Qin dynasty who built the Great Wall of China and sparked widespread opposition among his people.[1]
