When is God's reception day?

God-receiving day is the fourth day of the fourth lunar month.

The fourth day of the fourth lunar month is the time when immortals return from heaven to earth. There is a saying that "send God early and receive God later". The so-called sending of God should start early in the morning, and it is not too late to receive God in the afternoon.

In terms of offerings, three animals, fruits and dining tables should be prepared, and incense sticks should be lit to burn gold clothes. The boss wants to fire someone, so I won't ask him to worship God today. From grade one to grade four, shops are closed and women don't need to sew. On the fourth night of the first month, prepare sacrifices, cakes, incense sticks and other things, beat gongs and drums to burn incense and worship, and sincerely respect the god of wealth.

Taboos on the Day of God Harvest:

1, avoid leaving the city:

Legend has it that on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, the kitchen god returned to earth to count the population at home. At this time, he tried not to go far, and every household should stay at home to avoid being left behind by the kitchen god. Kitchen God decides the fortune of a family in the new year. If someone is not present when counting, it will offend the kitchen god, so try to stay at home and be serious and respectful when greeting to show sincerity.

2. Avoid breaking things:

Since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day to welcome the Kitchen God, all kinds of utensils at home should be handled carefully to avoid being accidentally broken. Broken means "broken", which is a bad omen. The ancients tried to avoid breaking things in the first month, for fear of disturbing the kitchen god. At the same time, if they accidentally break something, they should read a few words of "safe life" to resolve the bad omen of breaking something.

3. Avoid quarreling:

The so-called harmony makes money. On the fourth day of the lunar new year, it is a day to welcome the kitchen god and the god of wealth. Try not to quarrel with others on this day. It is disrespectful to quarrel in front of the gods. During the Spring Festival, especially on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we should say more auspicious words, try to keep a peaceful mind, be less angry and not argue with others, so as to spend the New Year safely and smoothly.

4, avoid killing sheep:

Legend has it that Nu Wa created six kinds of livestock at the beginning of the world, from the first day to the sixth day of the lunar calendar. The first day is chicken day, the second day is dog day, the third day is pig day, and the fourth day is sheep day. On sheep day, you can't kill sheep, otherwise it will affect the fortune of the year.
