Why should we worship God?

The ninth day of the first lunar month is the day when people in Fujian and Taiwan worship the Jade Emperor, and it is a very grand and lively traditional festival in the local area. In order to worship God, every household should clean up early and prepare sacrifices such as flowers, green tea, seasonal fruits, tortoiseshell cakes and vegetarian food. In the ceremony of Taoist sacrifice to the jade emperor, there is also a need for sparse characters, which will also be used in folk sacrifice to the gods. Then let's take a look at the general content of "Respect for Heaven".

The prose of honoring God every day, commonly known as "the prose of honoring God every day", is called the jade emperor's prose in Taoism and is used in the ceremony of "paying homage to the table" (or simply worshiping God every day with the table). The god of prose is the emperor of heaven, heaven and jade (called "the god of heaven" by Fujian and Taiwan folks).

The format and structure of this book are as follows: the first book is "Knocking on the Grace of Heaven", followed by the number of palaces, and then it is called "V's grace, when it starts from people's hearts; Shengde is a long way away, and it is auspicious to the world. At the beginning of four or six articles, the organizer, place, reason and date of calligraphy are listed again, and the names of all heads are recorded, emphasizing "thriller, blasphemy and truth; All majestic, the piety of the emperor's vault, pray for reference ",and in the book" Xun Mu Jiu Kou Shen "a month later, before that, the gods such as God, Jade Emperor, Sanyuan Sanpin, Sanguan Emperor, and the great kindness of the Lord God Wuji and Golden Mother (Cihuitang) were all listed.

The jade emperor's sparse text is in the form of a hidden head, and the other sparse text is stamped with five seals, all of which are "Jade Qing Zhi Bao". Four seals of diamonds are printed on the opening word "Knock and Answer Tianen", and one seal is printed next month.

Hao Tian Jin Que Jade Emperor His Majesty

Fuyi

Heavenly virtues are towering, and all fruits are stained with education; God's grace is powerful, and the world depends on it to maintain it. Therefore, I feel that I have worn it for so many years, and the return is day by day. The scholar felt tears in his eyes, kowtowed and nodded, and made a hundred obeisances. Today's disciples live in (specific address) for reward, work, family, etc. According to knocking on the sky, in Yang Bibo, sincere selling mud is the first, thinking about poverty and being born, which is highly valued; Cheng Gankun's deep affection is responsive; The kindness of the lotus sun and moon shines on the face and feels like a tunnel. I am ashamed that there is no kindness, and I thank you for your kindness. On an auspicious day in the ecliptic, I paid a New Year call to my family and others, sincerely fasted, gathered tables in the air, and prepared to eat fruits and vegetables, lamp holders, and high-priced gold paper for a table, hitting his Majesty the Jade Emperor. In addition, we have prepared animal feasts, vegetarian dishes and incense for everyone to learn from each other. I am grateful for this day, and I am grateful for his great achievements. I am grateful to see the insect mat and the fallen claws. I am waiting for the people. I want to thank you for coming.

Good luck, X years, X months, X days, X hours, all thanks to Shen.
