What are the customs on the ninth day of the first lunar month?The ninth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, the highest god in heaven, commonly known as "Tian Gong Sheng"."Tian Gong" is the "Jade Emperor", Taoism calls him "Yuanshi Tianzun", he is the highest god who dominates the universe. On his birthday, people will hold a ceremony to celebrate. From midnight until 4 o'clock in the morning, you can hear the sound of firecrackers. The ceremony of worshipping the God of Heaven is quite grand. An altar is set up under the God of Heaven stove in the main hall. Generally, a long bench or a low stool is used to place gold paper on the table and then stack it up to form an eight-immortal table as the "top table". A tablecloth with auspicious patterns is placed in front of the table, and a "lower table" is set up at the back. The "top table" is dedicated to a throne made of colored paper (symbolizing the throne of the God of Heaven), with an incense burner in the center of the front, three bundles of red paper noodles and three cups of tea in front of the burner, and a candlestick next to the burner; behind it are five fruits (tangerines, oranges, apples, bananas, sugarcane and other fruits) and six vegetarian dishes (lily bulbs, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, peas, mung beans, etc.) arranged to worship the Jade Emperor; the lower table is dedicated to five animals (chicken, duck, fish, eggs, pork or pork stomach, pork liver), sweets (raw kernels, rice dates, cakes, etc.), red tortoise cake (shaped like a turtle, dyed red on the outside, and stamped with a tortoise shell to symbolize human longevity) and other servants of the Jade Emperor. Before worshiping the God of Heaven, the whole family must fast and bathe. On the ninth day, family members are forbidden to dry clothes, especially women's pants and underwear, or empty the trash can, to show respect to the Jade Emperor. If livestock are to be used as sacrifices, they must be roosters, not hens. If you want to fulfill a vow, you must use a whole pig or a whole sheep. Some devout families think that worshipping at home is not enough, so they will rush to various Tiangong temples overnight to pay their respects. For example, the Temple of Heaven on Zhongyi Road in Tainan, the Tiangong Temple in Kaohsiung, the Muzha Zhinan Temple, etc., are brightly lit and bustling on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year every year. There is also a ceremony of "An Tai Sui" on the birthday of the God of Heaven . People whose zodiac signs conflict with Tai Sui in that year can go to the temple, write their names and ages, add a little money, and entrust the temple to be responsible for the offerings. There is another way to appease Tai Sui: at the beginning of the year, use the rice barrel that you usually use to store rice, surround it with red sheets to make a stove at home, write "Tai Sui Star God is here", and then offer sacrifices to it every day.
