The Fortune Teller website provides you with more information related to the first month of the lunar calendar in 2018. You are welcome to learn more about it!What festival is on the 16th day of the first lunar month?The 16th day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Three Kings in Fujian and Taiwan.According to historical records: In the late Southern Song Dynasty, a group of Song troops withdrew to Zhangpu and hid in the mountains and forests of Huxi to continue the struggle against the Yuan Dynasty. The first king, Liu Xin, was skilled in medicine and often collected and processed herbs to treat villagers. The second king, Ye Cheng, was skilled in martial arts and knowledgeable in geography and often helped villagers find springs and dig wells. The third king was brave and often went into the mountains to shoot jackals and wolves to protect the safety of people and animals. The three were deeply loved by the local people. Later, the three generals died heroically in a fierce battle with the Yuan army. The villagers of Huxi buried their bodies at Shiqiu Mountain in Kengzaiwei and often went there to offer sacrifices. In the early Ming Dynasty, local people built a temple in front of the tombs of the three men to enshrine the statues of the three generals. This temple was called the "Three Kings" Temple. During the Ming Dynasty, due to the rampant pirates and Japanese pirates, many residents in coastal areas moved into the mountainous hinterland such as Changkeng (now Chiling Township) in the inner mountains. After the She people with the surname Lan, people with the surnames Huang and Zhao moved in from the west of the lake. All the residents regarded the "Three Kings" as the patron saint of their village and worshiped them. Many villagers who went to Taiwan brought with them the statues, incense ashes, and talismans of the "Three Kings" worshipped in their hometowns and worshipped them as guardian gods. In the 51st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1786 AD), Liao Di, a villager from Kengziwei Village in Huxi, decided to go to Taiwan to make a living. His mother went to the "Three Kings" temple specifically to ask for a precious statue and let her son take it with him. At that time, Yilan, Taiwan was covered with dense forests and thorns, sparsely populated, full of wild beasts, and lacking medical care and medicine. The lives of the pioneers were constantly threatened. Liao Di regards the statue of the "Three Kings" he brought from his hometown as a talisman and carries it with him every day. Whenever Liao Di had free time, he would tell the story of the "Three Kings" to his fellow villagers. Once, local tribesmen came to attack and the situation was very critical. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, with lightning and thunder. The attackers thought this was a bad omen and retreated without a fight. The people who reclaimed the wasteland believed that it was the "Three Kings" who showed up to bless them, and from then on, the "Three Kings" were quickly believed in by the people. In the fifth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1866), the people raised funds together and built a "Three Kings" temple at the second site of the reclamation area, and named the temple "Zhen'an Temple". Since then, the temple has been filled with incense from generation to generation. It can be said that the "Three Kings" Temple in Yilan and the "Three Kings" Temple in Zhangpu are of the same lineage, becoming a testimony to the fact that people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits share the same roots and gods.
