01 · No Religion Required

Taiwanese temples welcome everyone regardless of background. Honest sincerity is the only universal language the deities listen to.

02 · Write in Plain English

Submit your wish in plain English. Our lineage scribes translate and hand-brush your petition in classical liturgical Chinese.

03 · 100% Pure Blessing

Authentic white-light Taoist liturgy only. Pure benevolence, cosmic balance, and open doors — zero bad karma, zero negative payback.

WHEN THIS OFFERING FITS

Some work is too long to hang on a single exam date.

  • When the season is long — a degree, a thesis, a license, a manuscript — and one date on the calendar is not the whole of it
  • When a child's year has turned into a grind and you want something steady placed for them while it lasts
  • When your living depends on judgment — you write, you analyze, you advise, you decide — and the head has to stay clear
  • When the work is not the problem, the length of it is, and the finish keeps moving further out
  • When you would rather mark the work while it is being done than petition in a panic the week before
WHAT YOU RECEIVE

What comes back after the rite

A written completion record comes back to you: which month's board your names stood on, the wording read over them, and the day it was carried before Wenchang. The encrypted PDF is emailed to the address on your order and is also available from your private order page or member account. It opens with your own date of birth. It is short, because the rite is short, and it is the part we can stand behind. No photograph comes back from this rite, at any price.

The completion record reaches you within about seven days of the ceremony date — not the day you order; register early and the board is ruled, written and stood at the altar to wait its turn. A heavy month is worked through in the order the names came in. Nothing renews on its own: when you want next month, you order next month.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

How each month's rite is carried out

  1. 01

    Checkout is followed by a private form: your own name and birth details, the name this is being carried for if it is not you, and how you want the written record to reach you.

  2. 02

    We rule a plain wooden tablet and write the names onto it by hand in vermilion, and it stands at the study altar until the day of the rite.

  3. 03

    On the ceremony date the tablet is carried before Wenchang Dijun, the Emperor of Literature, the petition is read aloud name by name, and divination blocks are cast to confirm it has been received.

  4. 04

    The gold goes into the furnace of an allied temple in Taiwan first and the petition sheets last, one at a time, so the courtesy is paid before the names are sent and no name goes up in a handful with strangers.

A Clear Head

One Name

$58

A good fit for

  • One student in an exam year
  • A thesis or dissertation in its last stretch
  • A licensing or certification exam with a date on it
  • An adult retraining while holding down a job
  • Work that turns on judgment — writing, analysis, advising, deciding

This option does not include

  • A second name on the same board. Two or more people in the same month belong on Four Names.
  • No promise about how anyone does. The rite is carried out; the exam is still sat and the paper is still written.
  • Nothing is posted to you. What comes back is written and sent, not shipped.
  • I read the same page four times and none of it stayed.
  • I knew it cold in the room and lost it on the paper.
  • Everyone has an opinion about how I should be studying, and none of them are the one studying.
  • The hours are there, the desk is clear, and the day still gets away from me.
  • Nobody in the house has said out loud that this year matters, and everybody knows it does.

One name, and the whole board left around it.

Nobody Left Off

Four Names

$128

A good fit for

  • Two or three children in overlapping exam years
  • A couple studying at the same time
  • A parent retraining alongside a child still in school
  • A study group or cohort taking the same test
  • A small team whose year turns on a single accreditation

This option does not include

  • A fifth name. The board is ruled for four, and a larger group belongs on Eight Names.
  • No promised result for anyone on it, and nothing that comes back is medical, legal or financial advice.
  • Nothing is posted to you. The completion record is written and sent, not shipped.
  • Two exam years landed in the same house at once.
  • I have been holding everyone's schedule and have not opened my own book.
  • One of them is carrying it well and one of them is not, and that is the one I think about at night.
  • The house has gone quiet in the wrong way.
  • If I only put one name down, I will hear about it for years.

Four names, and not one of them written in under another.

The Whole Room

Eight Names / Lineage

A good fit for

  • A family where somebody takes an exam every year
  • Three generations studying under one roof
  • A full class or cohort taking the same exam
  • A team of up to eight carrying one accreditation year
  • A house that keeps this rite and wants everyone on the board

This option does not include

  • No ninth name. Nine or more people is a second board and a second order.
  • Nothing renews by itself. Next month's board is a fresh order, and that is deliberate.
  • No promised result, no medical, legal or financial advice, and nothing posted to you.
  • Every year somebody in this house has a test in front of them.
  • I have held it all together and nobody has ever put my name on anything.
  • I have done this a name at a time before, and this year it is not one person's year.
  • I want everybody in the house on it, not only the ones sitting exams.
  • We keep doing this in April and forgetting it in September.

Eight names, and no one left off the board.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

What you will provide after checkout

These details allow the petition or offering to be prepared for the right person and intention. They are collected in the private order form after payment.

  • Your full nameRequired after checkout
  • Your structured birth detailsRequired after checkout
  • Delivery channelRequired after checkout
  • Your date of birth for the encrypted PDF password (YYYY-MM-DD)Required after checkout
BEFORE YOU ORDER

Have these ready.

  • Your own full name, spelled the way you would want it read aloud.
  • Your birth date and the city you were born in. The hour helps and is optional — if nobody ever wrote it down, leave it blank and nothing about the rite changes.
  • The name this is being carried for, if it is not you. It is optional, and so are their birth details; give what you have and leave the rest empty.
  • The written record is emailed as an encrypted PDF to the address on your order and is also available from your private order page or member account.
  • Your own date of birth once more, because it is the password that opens the encrypted PDF. Without it nobody else can read what comes back.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Our temple commitments and liturgical care.

  • Your private names and birth details remain strictly confidential within our temple record.
  • Preparation begins once your intake details are received, following the traditional liturgical calendar.
  • Because petitions are brushed by hand and consecrated specifically for you, changes cannot be made once ritual inscription begins.
  • Each month, names are ruled onto the wooden tablet in vermilion and presented before Wenchang Dijun with traditional tea and incense offerings.
  • Divination blocks confirm reception of the petition before ceremonial gold and papers are released through the temple furnace.

THE ALTAR TABLE

What is laid out on the day.

  • Three cups of clear teaWenchang is served tea and never wine, since nothing that clouds a head belongs on this table.
  • Celery, roots and leaves left onThe word for celery carries the sound of the word for diligence, and the custom is to offer it whole, roots and all, so that the diligence is not cut short.
  • Spring onion, washed and unbrokenIts name sounds like the word for clever, and it is laid down with the green left long, because nobody trims the thing they have come to ask for.
  • One head of garlicThe name sounds like the verb to reckon, and it is set down for every calculation the year is going to ask for.
  • Longan, still in the shellIts name carries the word for cassia, and the old phrase for coming first in the examinations was to pluck a cassia branch in the moon palace, so the fruit is laid down unopened.
  • Scholar's cake, cut into squaresA plain steamed rice cake named for the candidate who placed first in the old imperial examinations, and the plainest way a household knows to say what it hopes for.
  • A new writing brush, never dippedIt is laid at the foot of the tablet and left dry, standing in for the pen the student will actually hold.

If you would like something to do on the day, do one honest hour of the work. It is nearer the point than anything else we could suggest, and it is the only thing on this page you can do at your own desk. None of this is required, and nothing at the altar depends on it.

PREPARED FOR THE RITE

The same goods are prepared at every tier.

  • Wenchang gold — the sheet kept for the Emperor of Literature, folded in threes and burned once the board has been read
  • Fortune gold — the small square burned at the door, the courtesy paid before anything at all is asked inside
  • Longevity gold — the sheet kept for a god still among the living rather than an ancestor, burned once the petitions have been read
  • The study petition — written out by hand, carrying every name on the board with its birth date and the city that person lives in
  • Cassia-branch paper — the branch plucked in the moon palace in the old story about placing first, printed and folded for the board
  • Vermilion cinnabar, ground fresh on the morning the tablet is written, and one brush kept for this rite and nothing else

PROPORTION & MAGNITUDE OF OFFERING · 資糧份量與規制

Matching the scale of the offering to the weight of the wish.

In classical temple practice, paper offerings and incense serve as spiritual ballast (資糧).
