Wong Tai Sin Fortune Stick Grades: How Many of Each?

Grade distribution

The 100 Wong Tai Sin fortune sticks are divided into 5 grades, distributed unevenly:

Best (上上): 3 sticks (#1, #11, #91)
Great (上吉): 10 sticks
Good (中吉): 29 sticks
Fair (中平): 40 sticks
Poor (下下): 18 sticks

Nearly 70% of sticks are Good or Fair — which mirrors real life. Most situations aren't extremely good or bad; the key is finding direction in the ordinary.

What each grade means

Best — Everything aligns well. But don't coast. The message is usually: opportunity is here, are you ready to act?

Great — You're on the right track. Success is likely but still requires patience and effort.

Good — More positive than negative, but pay attention to the details in the poem. The caveats are often the most important part.

Fair — Stable but not ideal for big moves. A time for patience, preparation, and steady progress.

Poor — A serious warning. Not "it's over" but "there's real risk if you don't pay attention." Many people who take the warning seriously end up avoiding problems entirely.

Practical advice

Don't over-index on the grade. A Fair stick with a line that speaks directly to your situation is more valuable than a Best stick you don't read carefully. The poem matters more than the label.
