When is Tai Sui?

The custom of An Tai-sui is as follows:

People will hold "An Tai Sui" activities on the ninth day of the first month. As the old saying goes, "Tai Sui is like a king, the head of the gods, and the Lord of all evils, such as the king of the world, so don't offend him." Because of the high status of "Tai Sui", the ancients were in awe of him for fear of offending him and harming themselves. In order to avoid offending the "Tai Sui" god, in the year of offending the "Tai Sui", we must worship it in the New Year and spring to pray for a safe and smooth New Year.

On that day, there was also the ceremony of "Ann Tai Sui". Those who committed crimes against Tai-sui can go to the temple, write down their names and years, and add some sesame oil money. The temple will be responsible for offering sacrifices. There is another way for Tai Sui: at the beginning of the year, at home, use red tablets to surround the rice tube as a stove, write "Tai Sui Xing Jun is here", and then offer sacrifices every day.

Legend:

According to folklore, every year the Jade Emperor sends a fairy to pay homage to that year, in charge of the fortunes of the world and the lives of people born in this year. This immortal is called "Tai Sui", also known as "Tai Sui Xing Jun" or "Sui Jun" and "Jiazi God".

On New Year's Eve, people "watch" all night, just waiting for the arrival of this immortal. This is equivalent to having a new local chief executive, and everyone should take to the streets early to welcome his new official to take office.

There are 60 Tai Sui Xing Jun, people born in different years have different Tai Sui Xing Jun, but two people with a 60-year age difference have the same Tai Sui Xing Jun, such as 1899, 1959, 20 19, all of whom are General Xie Tai.
