Direct answer
The systems are not interchangeable: this Wiki’s Guanyin reference contains one hundred numbered poems, while Taitung Tianhou Temple identifies its local Mazu collection as sixty Jiazi lots. Number, deity, and poem must all match.
A reliable method
Record the temple and deity, determine whether the set is numbered 1–100 or organized as sixty Jiazi entries, copy the full poem, and use only the source belonging to that corpus.
- Name the exact corpus or temple version.
- Separate the printed text from your contextual inference.
- Choose one observable, reversible next action.
Worked example
A Mazu slip marked 甲子 should be checked against the temple’s sixty-entry list, not forced into Guanyin lot 1 because both appear first in an index.
Close misreading and alternative
Some temples may use another collection, so “Mazu equals sixty” is not a universal rule. The official page proves only the named temple’s published corpus.

Government and scholar-authored references support terminology and cultural structure, while the pinned OpenFate snapshot identifies only the product recension used on these pages. Treat the text as a structured reflection prompt. It cannot verify hidden thoughts, diagnose health, decide legal or financial risk, or guarantee an event or date. Every factual claim stays traceable to a named source reference, while examples show the method rather than establish what will happen. Conflicts, omissions, and version limits remain visible for audit.
