Invite Zigu DayIn some places, there is a custom of welcoming Zi Gu on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, so this day is also called "the day to invite Zi Gu". Zi Gu is the toilet god in Chinese folk legends, also known as Zi Gu, Ce Gu, Mao Gu, Keng Gu, Keng San Niang, etc. People often say that she can predict the future, often holds worship ceremonies at home, and knows everything. The earliest document that records "Zi Gu" is "Yi Yuan" by Liu Jingshu of the Southern Song Dynasty: According to legend, Zi Gu was a concubine of a wealthy family. She was killed in the toilet because of the jealousy of her original wife. The Emperor of Heaven took pity on her experience and made her the toilet god. However, the Han people worship Zi Gu not because she is a toilet god, but because Zi Gu represents the oppressed women in feudal society. Therefore, women in ancient times worshipped her very much and regarded her as the patron saint of weak women. 2. Birthday of Empress Taijun The eleventh day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Taijun Niangniang. In some areas, people will offer sacrifices to Taijun Niangniang on this day and pray for the healthy growth of their children. Taijun Niangniang is the patron saint of young women and has the divine power to deliver children, protect delivery, safeguard infants, and bless children. She is composed of three gods: Da Taijun (Madam Taijun), Er Taijun (Taijun’s mother), and San Taijun (Taijun Bodhisattva), among which San Taijun is the most revered. It is a common custom among the people to "adopt" a child to a third wife in order to pray for the child to grow up healthily. In the past, sacrifices centered around the belief in Taijun would be performed from the moment a child was born, such as stealing shoes to pray for a child, praying for breastfeeding, the third day of the birth, shaving the head on the full moon, the first birthday, drinking Luohan wine (also known as "Taijun wine"), etc., using various methods to pray for the blessing of Goddess Taijun and at the same time thank her for her grace. What does it mean to eat Fu in southern Fujian on the eleventh day of the first lunar month?On the night of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, people in southern Fujian will prepare a table of delicious food as grandly and carefully as on New Year's Eve, and the whole family will enjoy it together, implying good fortune this year. Common proverbs call it: "Eat good food and eat Jia (Hokkien, meaning to grow old)", "The eleventh blessing, jiajia old cool", etc., which means that eating good food on the eleventh day will lead to longevity.There is no specific regulation on what kind of food should be eaten on the 11th day of the 11th month. Basically, as long as the food is rich enough, it means greater blessings. Some families will prepare dishes made of leeks and tofu, because "leek" and "long" have the same pronunciation, which means long-lasting spring and spring every year, while tofu and "rich" have the same pronunciation, so there is also a saying "tofu spring, leek rich".
