Field notes
The homepage pairs the online ritual with a set of guides covering auspicious dates, ritual sayings, taboos, and the practice’s history at Goose Neck Bridge. Its account describes a sequence of physical symbols and actions, including feeding oil to a paper tiger and scattering sesame and mung beans. The site says names are handled on the visitor’s device; the supplied page text does not independently establish how the interactive experience implements that claim.
