Divining to resolve doubts. Today, practitioners fill a plate with sand, place a T-shaped frame on top, suspend a cone at its end, and two people support it from left and right. When a spirit descends, it uses this to draw in the sand to show people fortune or misfortune. Colloquially called 扶乩 (planchette writing).
