The Chinese divined as well... long before tarot. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that the cards were used for anything other than games and gambling.

Yeah, they would pick up a random turtle from a river and then use the markings on its shell. I think they also threw bones, and that's somehow connected to their "bone script"
It would be logical to assume they used the cards to divine as well. Some of the symbology is there. But with all the evidence of dividing with bones, etc, no e seems to exist pointing to their use of cards this way.
