Jiaobei, also named as “Divination blocks Cup” is used for requesting an answer from the God in Chinese traditional religion.

There are four possible answers that the jiaobei blocks can produce:

1. Shèngjiao (divine answer): One block flat and another block round is a ‘yes’ answer.

2.Nùjiao (angry answer) also kujiao (crying answer): Both blocks round is a ‘no’ answer. It is said that the gods are displeased by the question, and is shown in the way the blocks directly fall flat on the floor.

3.Xiaojiao (laughing answer): Both blocks flat have different interpretations; either it can be an emphasized ‘no’ answer and a sign that the gods are laughing at the question, or that they are laughing because the querent knows the answer to his or her question. One characteristic of this answer is when the blocks sway back and forth when dropped, a symbolic show of laughter.

Be sincere then you will get answers.
