This set of oracles is characterized by its usu- ally added subsections or areas of concern for which devotees most frequently cast the ora- cles. They are the major concerns in life, such as “employment”, “dis- ease". “dwelling”, “wealth”,“marriage”, *expectation of rain", etc. When devotees consult the oracles they 第一簌 (000 000) 萬光日事向明出清前清便途淨見保進照風大世雲安道問散移年詞歲節|病!作居冬歡君中人人事 A 沾難解 would in most cases ask about only one of these areas.

Sample No. 1 (B-1) This is oracle no. 1 taken from the most popular of all temple oracles: the 60 oracles Matsu set. (See bibliography, Sheng-ch'ien chu-chieh).

APPENDIX I: A SELECTION OF REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLES OF CURRENT TEMPLE ORACLES

Although Werner Banck has published a voluminous collection of 55 complete sets of temple oracles (hereafter abbreviated as B), I believe that the following selection of samples can be meaningful and useful for comparative purposes. Sev- en samples taken from printed editions commonly used by the temple personnel are presented: these samples show the variations of commentaries attached to the basic oracular verses.

For each case I have only chosen the first oracle, but this is sufficient for our

purpose of limited comparison.

Sample No. 1 (B-1)

This is oracle no 1.

taken from the most

popular of all temple or-

acles: the 60 oracles

Matsu set. (See bibliog-

raphy, Sheng-ch'ien

chu-chieh). Many tem- ples not only have printed leaflets for the use of devotees with each oracle printed on a separate leaflet, but have booklet editions available for the use of specialists counselling devotees.

This set of oracles is

characterized by its usu- ally added subsections

or areas of concern for

which devotees most frequently cast the ora- cles. They are the major concerns in life, such as “employment”, “dis- ease". “dwelling”, “wealth”,“marriage”, *expectation of rain", etc. When devotees

consult the oracles they
