Thanking God for his kindness is also called thanking Tai Sui. After worshipping Tai Sui, he is still too old at the end of the year to repay God's blessing in the past year. The safe and smooth passage of this year cannot be separated from the blessing of the gods.

How to write "Thank God"?

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, people naturally want to express sincere thanks, so the sentences of thanks should also be slightly particular;

Thank God for his salvation, because man has been completely corrupted, and sin has spread to every part of man-thought, emotion and will, and sin has spread to all people.

Thanks to God's salvation, God chose people according to his own will, not because of the virtue of the chosen person, nor because he accepted the prophecy of this person, but because of his own will, so that some people were glorified and some were condemned.

Thanks to God's salvation, Christ died especially for the invisible church and for those who can really be called Christians.

Thanks to God's salvation, the call of Christ's inner grace miraculously saved us, which is a great comfort to God's voters through our sinful and rigid hearts.

Thanks to God's salvation, the saints redeemed by God will remain under God's protection until they are glorified and in heaven with him.

Matters needing attention

It is no joke to thank God for his kindness at the end of the year. We need to pay attention to thanking Tai Sui for his care and blessing to himself and his family over the past year, and sincerely thank Tai Sui for his hard work over the past year, with sincere attitude and respect.

At the end of the year, there is a traditional custom in Chaoshan area. At the end of the year, I want to thank the gods for their blessings to the whole family in the past year.

Thank God for keeping the whole family safe, making big profits and winning everything. Chaoshan people are commonly known as worshipping God.

Thank God for his grace:

Paper money, three animals, fruit (red oil), tobacco, alcohol and tea, vegetarian dishes.

Chaoshan people believe in many gods, such as the old man, the kitchen god, the parents of heaven and earth, Mazu and so on. And there are many unspeakable things. When you thank God, please give thanks. In the past year, a god who made a special visit must make a special visit. If you scared a god in the past year because of some bad things (ask a god to help you overcome difficulties and promise to thank you at the end of the year, here "scare" means promise), you must also be especially grateful, otherwise it is disrespectful to God, and God will not bless you next year, and you may have a bad year. Chaoshan custom is so traditional, complicated and interesting.

Youlai

Worship at the end of the year was originally a custom of northern ancestors, which was first seen in the pre-Qin period. At the end of each year, after the harvest, it is a ceremony to thank God for his gift. The ancestors of Chaoyang migrated from the Central Plains after the Jin Dynasty to avoid the war in the north. Because of their remoteness, they are less influenced by foreign cultures. Therefore, many customs have been passed down from generation to generation, and worshipping God has become the most solemn, important and indispensable activity for every family in Chaoshan.

Worship god's instructions

First, you must choose a good day. Some villages choose a unified date, and some households choose their own auspicious days.

Before worshiping God, we should do a lot of cleaning work, wash the dishes inside and outside the house and worship God, men should have their hair cut and shaved, and those who go out should come back as soon as possible.

And there are many taboos:

If you worship God, you must not have an affair with red and white things;

Women should avoid menstruation;

Family members should be happy and never say anything disrespectful to God.

Debt collectors should also avoid it, and there should be no noise.

Worship of the gods are:

There are about twenty to forty or fifty Jade Emperors, Tian Xuan Gods, Chen Nan Beidou, Sanshan King, Shuangzhong Wang Sheng, Immortals, Master Fude, Pearl Empress, and the unique "masters" and "uncles" in each town.

Worship of God can be divided into two categories: general "worship of God at the end of the year" (commonly known as "worship of God") and "worship of God".

Worship at the end of the year is notoriously grand, and it is the peak season for worship at the end of the year. At this time, every family, old and young, should be busy, and the degree of old heat is comparable to that of the Spring Festival.

Sacrifice at the end of the year was originally a custom of northern ancestors, which existed in the pre-Qin period. At the end of each year, after the crops are harvested and scraped, it is a ceremony to thank God for his gift. The ancestors of Chaoshan people migrated from the Central Plains after the Jin Dynasty to avoid the war in the north. Because of their remoteness, they are less influenced by foreign cultures. Therefore, many customs have been passed down from generation to generation, and worshipping God has become the most solemn, important and indispensable activity for every family in Chaoshan.

Do a lot of cleaning work before worshipping God, and wash everything at home. Men need a haircut and a shave, and those who go out should come back as soon as possible. Moreover, there are many taboos. For example, worshipping God must not be ambiguous with weddings, funerals and weddings, women should avoid coming to their official holidays, family members should be beaming, and they must never say disrespectful words to God, and debt collectors should avoid making noise. The deities worshipped are: Jade Emperor, Tian Xuan God, Chen Nan Beidou, Sanshan King, Shuangzhong Wang Sheng, the gods, Master Fude, the Pearl Empress, and the unique "grandfathers" and "uncles" in various towns and villages. There are about twenty to forty or fifty people. Worship of God can be divided into two categories: general "worship of God at the end of the year" (commonly known as "worship of God") and "worship of God".

Generally, there are two kinds of year-end offerings for poor families: pork, chicken (Bai Yudi is a rooster, but not limited to others), ducks, fish (generally mullet or pomfret), oranges, needle vegetables, fragrant shavings, fungus, fried peanuts, three cups of tea, three cups of wine, two sugar towers, four bowls of ginger and potatoes, and so on. Products include Mi Yang with a diameter of more than 60 cm, big bread with a diameter of more than 60 cm, medium bread, small bread, red peach, "dough head" and so on. All kinds of auspicious paper-cuts with corresponding patterns should be pasted on the food. The types of mounting include: large and small coins, coins, ingots, gold bars, stickers, incense, candles and so on.

A god provides food and paste sacrifices. Prominent gods, such as Jade Emperor God (called "God" in Shantou Ren Chao), include chicken, duck, pork, fish, sugar tower, tea, wine, needle vegetables, fragrant shavings, fungus and the biggest piece of food. The pasting sacrifice includes: four pairs of big money (about 90CM×40CM), which are written with affection, peace, seeking wealth, blessing and so on. , three pairs of bills, each about half a catty, a big ingot, a paste, three incense sticks, a pair of big candles (should be more than half a catty), one hundred and twenty gold coins, a string of firecrackers, etc. Generally speaking, this deity is to reduce fish, a piece of meat, a paste, three incense sticks, a pair of candles, four pairs of sticks (the content is the same as that of the big stick), three pairs of small coins, a gold ingot and thirty-six gold coins. When you worship God, you should also put on a Chaozhou opera record, the content of which is the "Loutai Club" in the Chaozhou opera "The Story of Colorful Buildings". A slightly richer family also needs people to compete for food, and the competition for food is based on the "shed". At least four "sheds" and a dozen to dozens of "sheds" are needed. Just a fight costs 1000 to several thousand yuan.

Before worshipping God, everyone should bathe and change clothes, and women should wear tunics. The head of the family lights candles, presents three incense sticks first, and then the women begin to worship. I saw the worshippers holding incense in their hands and muttering to themselves. The content of reading is to report the course of the past year to God, pray to God, make a wish, and make a wish when worshipping God in the new year. I saw that I kept reading as soon as I knelt down, but I didn't stand up for half an hour, and some even fainted when I stood up. While worshipping, others are also burning and offering sacrifices. After worshipping a person, they burn a paste and load a sacrifice. It takes more than two hours just to burn and load a sacrifice. I wonder if the gods have the heart to listen to the long prayers of good men and women. Maybe the fairy was listening and unconsciously fell into the depths of the dream? After worshipping God, the offerings should be distributed to relatives, friends and neighbors, and each household should give one.

So at the end of the year, it will cost a lot of money and be busy for many days. It costs at least seven or eight hundred yuan to buy a pasting sacrifice. It takes thousands to two thousand for poor families to worship God, and at least thousands to tens of thousands for rich families. Families with low incomes will spend their income in recent months by worshipping God at the end of the year.

There are countless products such as whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, fish, etc., and there are also many kinds of paste sacrifices, such as a robe as high as a house and a hat more than one meter long. , and the light framed sacrifice will cost 10 thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. It is also necessary to wrap incense in the temple to ask the gods, and hundreds of people (all men) should bring incense with them. Give everyone in the entourage a gift, at least an umbrella and a towel, and the most important thing is a high-end suit and a pair of high-end leather shoes. We should also invite people to build a theater shed and invite the Chaozhou Opera Troupe to perform. After worshipping the Great God, we should send a big gift package to everyone who participates in the invitation to God.
