On the morning of February 8, hundreds of tourists lined up to draw lots to see their fate on the occasion of the New Year at Sai Temple festival, Thuy Loi village, Thuy Lam commune, Dong Anh district ( Hanoi ).
Each customer spends 10,000 VND to draw a lottery to see their fate in the year of At Ty . Some people also come here to draw for relatives and friends. The lottery is numbered from 1 to 50, whoever draws a lottery number must go outside to find the ballot with the corresponding number to see.
After drawing lots, many guests stood and prayed, hoping for a new year with lots of luck and prosperity.
The area for distributing decoding tickets is located behind the temple. Here, the "masters" will ask for the visitor's hexagram number, then give them a piece of paper printed with six-eight verses.
According to Mr. Dung (a tourist from Hanoi ), most of the "solutions" are quite difficult to understand. Many of the verses rhyme incorrectly, making it difficult to read.
Every year in this area, many "fortune tellers" sit on mats to read palms and tell fortunes for customers, but this year this phenomenon no longer exists.
Visitors stand and sit throughout the grounds behind the temple, reading and finding their own answers to the six-eight verses.
A family burst out laughing after reading the "beautiful words".
Most of these decoding sheets contain good things, few bad things.
Duoc (in black) laughed out loud after reading the sentence about ambition and fate on the hexagram. "I was born in 2003, I don't have a lover yet. I think it's very true."
In another corner, two women sat "solving their own fortunes" and laughed loudly, huddled together. "I don't know if it's good or bad. Let's try drawing a fortune for the new year," said the woman wearing glasses.
"Last year, I saw my friends draw lots to pray for a son and it was so true," Nam and Nhung (right) shared, laughing loudly.
