Why does Beijing Huodezhenjun Temple have to use its left hand to shake the number?

In Beijing's Huode Zhenjun Temple, the saying that the lottery must be left-handed originated from a concept in China's traditional culture. In China culture, the left side represents Yin and the right side represents Yang. As a god who is responsible for eliminating disasters and ensuring peace, the real king of fire and morality is considered to belong to the yin attribute. Therefore, people will draw lots with their left hands when they visit King Hod Zhen Temple to show their respect and help.

In addition, the practice of drawing lots with the left hand also appears in some ancient cultures and beliefs in China. According to legend, the left hand is the birthplace of human information transmission and can receive more spiritual power. The left hand is also considered to be the hand that is more closely connected with the soul and supernatural forces.

It should be noted that this traditional concept has no scientific basis. There is no essential difference between people's left and right hand functions. However, on some occasions or beliefs, people may still insist on drawing lots with their left hands to maintain respect and respect for tradition.
