On this day, people in Taiwan Province Province will burn land money to worship the upright god of Ford (that is, land money), and set up a bench in front of the door to offer a five-flavored bowl, burn prayer flags and silver paper to worship the owners (to worship the foundation of the house). All business lines should also entertain employees today in return for their hard work in the past year.
