Moon blocks or jiaobei (also written as jiao bei etc. variants; Chinese: 筊杯 or 珓杯; pinyin: jiǎo bēi; Jyutping: gaau2 bui1), also poe (from Chinese: 桮; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: poe; as used in the term "poe divination"), are wooden divination tools originating from China, which are used in pairs and thrown to seek divine guidance in the form of a yes or no question. They are made out of wood or bamboo and carved into a crescent shape. A pair of clam shells can also be used. Each block is round on one side (known as the yin side) and flat on the other (known as the yang side). It is one of the more commonly used items found in Chinese traditional religion and are used in temples and home shrines along with fortune sticks, both of which are often used together when requesting an answer from the Deities.

  • ポエとは、道教やそれに関連する民間信仰において、おみくじや占い、神託を得るなどのために、落とすように投げて使う道具である。漢字では筊、珓、筶(日本語では『こう』と読む)という文字があてられる。ほかには杯珓(はいこう)とも表記され、日本の関帝廟サイトでは神筈(しんばえ)という表記も見られる。台湾や中国南部でよく行われるとされるが、窪徳忠はおそらく中国全土で行われていると考えているし、東南アジアの一部でも見られる。日本でも、例えば横浜中華街にある横浜関帝廟や横浜媽祖廟で行なわれている。 (ja)
  • 筊(jiǎo)杯,或作杯珓(jiào),是民間信仰與道教信仰中一種尋求神明指示的儀式工具。筊杯在遠古時期的原型,原用蚌殼投擲於地,視其俯仰情形,斷其吉凶。後改用竹子或木片,做成蚌殼狀替代。名稱有時會倒過來稱之為「杯筊」,或作「杯珓」﹑「杯爻」﹑「杯教」﹑「碑珓」﹑「珓杯」﹑「珓兒」﹑「跋杯」。關於「杯珓」兩字的字源,宋代學者程大昌推論:因蚌殼可如杯子般盛水,是為「杯」;珓的發音和「叫」相同,代表借用杯珓的仰俯來傳達神佛的意志以教示人們,於是使用「珓」一字。 (zh)
