"Drawing lots" is a traditional divination method in China, which originated from ancient folk beliefs. The pinyin of lot is "chè qiān", in which "lot" is a verb, meaning to pull; "Money" is a noun, which means bamboo sticks, wooden sticks and so on. The lottery originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when it was called "seeking a lot". In the Tang Dynasty, people combined prayer with divination and really believed the answers they got. In the Song Dynasty, lottery was further developed and became a temple fair culture, attracting a large number of believers to pray for guidance from the gods. This traditional way continues to this day and has become one of people's belief activities in pursuit of peace, auspiciousness and smoothness.

Drawing lots is a simple and mysterious way. Usually, people need to go to temples or Taoist temples, pay tribute to gods or shrines, and then put their hands into the shaken sign tube and draw out a bamboo or wooden sign. Each constellation has different numbers and information, such as the name of God, good or bad luck, peace, disease and so on. Each believer can only draw one sign, and can't draw any more. When a believer draws a good lottery, he can be protected by the gods and enjoy happiness and peace; When a believer wins a bad lottery, he needs to work harder to improve his living conditions.

Behind the lot is people's exploration and pursuit of the unknown and supernatural. Everyone has his own beliefs and worldview, and drawing lots provides another way for people to communicate with God and understand his will. For some believers, drawing lots means a kind of gospel, while for others, drawing lots is a traditional culture, a historical heritage and a beautiful scenic line.

No matter what the experience and result of lottery is, it is a special way of contact between man and god. It reminds us that piety and faith are important components of human culture. In today's society, we should respect and inherit this tradition, make it the driving force of our progress and the support of our faith, and help us better face all kinds of difficulties and challenges in life.
