An altar is set up under the Tiangong stove in the main hall. Generally, a long bench or a low bench is used to place gold paper on it, and then an eight-immortal table is stacked up to serve as the "top table". A tablecloth with auspicious patterns is hung 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, 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. |
