Young people who love to raise pigeons also bring pigeon cages. After entering the wilderness, the elderly will hold a ceremony. The general procedure is: the leader first takes out various offerings from the wooden plate and places them on the ground in a triangular shape. Then use your hands to build three small mounds of earth, the middle one represents the god of heaven, the left one represents the god of earth, and the right one represents the god of joy. Three incense sticks are inserted on each mound of earth and three pieces of paper are burned. Everyone kneels three times and kowtows nine times, praying for blessings from the god of joy, a safe journey, etc. Children are allowed to set off firecrackers, pigeons are allowed to fly all over the sky, and livestock are allowed to run freely.

Even seeing small birds such as magpies and sparrows is a good sign. When returning home, the old people are used to picking up firewood, which sounds like “wealth” in Chinese, implying fortune and wealth.What is the God of Joy?The God of Joy is a deity widely believed in by the Chinese people. The God of Joy is the God of Good Luck, commonly known as the God of Happiness. Because people's wish is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and pursue happiness and joy, they invented a god of joy. According to Chinese folk legend, the God of Joy was originally a pious woman who worshipped the God of the North Dipper. When she became an immortal through Taoism, the God of the North Dipper asked her what she wanted. The woman pursed her lips with her hand and smiled without answering. The God of the North Dipper mistakenly thought that she was praying for a beard, so he gave her a long beard. Because she looked happy when she smiled, she was named the God of Joy. Because of the long beard, she was no longer visible to mortals. From then on, the God of Joy was responsible for celebrations, but her divine form was not revealed. Therefore, the biggest feature of the God of Joy is that he has no specific image and no special temple. He is highly abstract. However, later generations also regarded portraits of ancestors or King Zhou of Shang as the God of Joy and worshipped them. The worship of the God of Joy is common in various ritual activities, especially in weddings. |
