Taboos in worshipping the CREATORIn the old days in the Chaoshan area, there were many taboos on the day of "Tiangong's birthday": after washing your face in the morning, the water used for washing your face must not be poured into the dirty ditch or on the ground, for fear of polluting the face of Tiangong. Once poured, it would be disrespectful to Tiangong and one might be punished by Tian. The water used for washing face should be poured into the urine bucket, urinal, and toilet (not open-air); if the floor is not swept in open-air places on the same day, the garbage swept inside the house should be kept and poured outside the next day; children should not urinate in open-air places, otherwise it would be disrespectful to God, who will blame them; women's underwear and shorts are not allowed to be hung outside, but should be hung indoors, otherwise it would insult God, and the yin and yang would conflict, which would be blamed by God; urine and feces buckets should not be washed in the pond on the same day; farmers should not pick up manure for fear of spilling it on the ground and polluting the gods and the sun. |
