Fortune-telling Stall(卦摊):

A fortune-telling stall refers to a small booth set up in public places such as streets or markets for the purpose of divination or fortune-telling. Traditionally, operators of these stalls employ various methods, including the I Ching’s sixty-four hexagrams, Eight Characters, Purple Star Astrology/Ziwei Doushu, palmistry, and physiognomy, to predict the future or offer advice to customers.

These stalls are usually run by experienced fortune-tellers who, through interaction with their clients and the use of relevant divination tools, conjecture about aspects of the individual’s fortunes, career, and relationships. In some areas, fortune-telling stalls may be regarded as a cultural tradition, though their accuracy and scientific validity are often questioned.
