In Chinese folk beliefs, the ninth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, commonly known as the "Jade Emperor Meeting". It is said that all the gods in heaven and on earth will celebrate with great fanfare on this day. The Jade Emperor will personally descend to the mortal world on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to inspect the situation in all directions. Reward good and punish evil according to the good and evil, good and bad of all living beings. On the afternoon of his birthday, the Jade Emperor returns to the Heavenly Palace in his phoenix. At that time, grand celebration and fasting ceremonies were held in Taoist temples. On the Jade Emperor's birthday, people hold ceremonies to celebrate, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from midnight until 4 a.m. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, temples hold a ceremony to offer food to the gods. This is because the gods, following the instructions of the Dharma King, patrol the human world, assisting virtuous people with compassion and rewarding good and punishing evil. People therefore build this ceremony to offer food to the Buddha and the gods, recite scriptures, repent, and offer pure food to support the Three Jewels in all directions, the guardian gods and their followers. What should we prepare for worshipping the God of Heaven on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year?1. IncenseIt is best to choose higher quality incense when worshiping the God of Heaven, such as water agarwood or old mountain sandalwood. In addition, because it is the birthday of God, you can use longevity incense. 2. Flowers When worshiping the God of Heaven, you need to prepare fresh flowers. It is best to use real flowers, and they must be blooming flowers. The forms can be scented flowers, bouquets, potted flowers, plate flowers, etc. 3. Tea When worshipping the God of Heaven, you need to prepare hot tea, as you are offering tea to the God of Heaven. However, you can also use other drinks instead, such as beverages, soda, vegetarian wine, rye juice, etc. 4. Fruit Five-color fruits (fresh fruits of the current season) must be used when worshiping the God of Heaven. If possible, imported apples and high-quality pears should be used as the main ingredients, accompanied by seasonal citrus fruits and candied dates. 5. Gold Paper When worshiping the God of Heaven, one should use five-color gold (Dabaitian gold, Dabaishou gold, Shou gold, Gan gold, and Fu gold) or four-color gold (Dabaishou gold, Shou gold, Gan gold, and Fu gold). It is best to use products made of pure tin foil. In addition, you can also choose environmentally friendly gold paper. The highest grade is genuine handmade tin foil. If you follow folk customs, you can use a combination of Tianjing + Chijin, plus some pole money. If the space and time for burning gold paper permit, you can also burn divine horses, cloud horses, armored horses, and gold coins for the heavenly soldiers and generals. 6. Tribute The offerings to be prepared for worshiping the God of Heaven include five vegetarian animals, five or six types of bowls or five vegetarian dishes and six bowls. Vegetarian five animals refer to pastries that look like the five animals. They can be made with pasta, konjac, candy, etc., but not real meat. Five- or six-shaped bowls are also used for vegetarian dishes. The ones used in temples are: Delicacies from land and sea: salt, rice, sugar, ginger, mung bean or red bean, five vegetarian dishes and six vegetable bowls (the quantity varies from 6 bowls, 12 bowls, 24 bowls, 36 bowls, 72 bowls, to 108 bowls).
