Shuimoxiansheng.com has predicted the good and bad luck for each day in the first month of 2020. Come and pay attention.On the eighth day of the first lunar month in 2020, should we welcome the God of Wealth or the stars?》Time to welcome the God of Wealth: evening of the fourth day or fifth day of the first lunar month <br /> Welcoming the God of Wealth is an ancient traditional festival custom of the Chinese people. According to Chinese folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so after the first day of the new year, the next most important activity is to welcome the God of Wealth. On the night before the God of Wealth's birthday, every family prepares a banquet to celebrate the God of Wealth's birthday.》Star-receiving time: the eighth day of the first lunar month <br /> Chinese people regard the eighth day of the first lunar month as the day when the stars descend to the earth. They make small lanterns and burn them to offer sacrifices to them. This is called Shunxing, also known as "offering sacrifices to stars" or "receiving stars". ——The eighth day of the first lunar month in 2020 is the day to welcome the stars, not the God of Wealth. 》Auspicious and inauspicious events on the eighth day of the first lunar month in 2020: (1) The fortune and misfortune of the twenty-eight constellations: Whatever the stomach star does, the family will be rich and prosperous, and full of joy. Burial will bring honor and high position, and the couple will be harmonious and healthy forever. If you marry someone from such a wealthy family, you will not encounter any disasters or misfortunes. From then on, there will be many good fortunes in front of your house, and your children and grandchildren will worship at the golden steps for generations. (2) The fortune and misfortune of the nine stars in the River Chart and Luoshu: If you see Sheti in front of your door, you will be worried about everything. Mutual growth is still acceptable, but mutual restraint will bring disaster. The innate Kan in the north and the acquired Kun in the southwest meet at the death gate. The old woman cries and wails, and all the plans and auspicious events are inappropriate. The name of the place in which Ju Men resides is the sick symbol. (3) The 12 gods determine good and bad fortune: The end of the month is auspicious for getting married or burying a wife, and it is also a good day for traveling and buying a house. If you meet Baoyi who likes to stay overnight, everything will be good and you can do business with him. It is not suitable to build on the closing day; the yang house should be visible while the yin house should be hidden. What is the custom of receiving stars?——Receiving the stars means: Offering sacrifices to the stars. Legends of the stars:According to Taoism and astrologers, each person has a star in charge every year, also called the "annual star" (the nine stars, namely Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Wood, Venus, Saturn, Luohou and Ketu, take turns to be in charge of the year). A person's fate for the year is entirely controlled by the star in charge of the year. The eighth day of the first lunar month every year is the day when all the star gods gather, and it is also said to be the day when "all the stars descend to the world". Therefore, by offering sacrifices to the star god (i.e. Shunxing) on this day, it is possible to obtain the star god's blessing. Therefore, some people go to the Baiyun Stargazing Temple (also known as the Yuanchen Temple) to burn incense and pray to the stars. But no matter whether one goes to the temple to burn incense or not, on that evening, after all the stars come out in the sky, every family will hold a star-following sacrificial ceremony. 》Sacrificial process: (1) Two god codes are used for sacrifice. The first one is printed with Xingke, Suzaku, Xuanwu, etc., and the second one is "Benming Yannian Shouxingjun". (2) The two pieces are placed together front and back, clamped on a paper clip, and placed in the center behind the altar in the courtyard for worship. (3) In front of the god’s code, a lamp made of yellow and white paper soaked in fragrant oil is placed in a “lamp bowl” about an inch in diameter and lit. (4) Serve cooked Yuanxiao and tea. After dusk, sacrifices are made to the Big Dipper. (5) After the sacrifice, when the remaining lights are about to go out, burn the god code, incense roots, sesame straw, and pine and cypress branches together to complete the sacrifice. |
