What are the customs on New Year's Day and the first month?

The ninth day of September, commonly known as the "heavenly descent", is one of the traditional lunar festivals in China. This is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, the tallest god in the sky. God is the Jade Emperor, the supreme god who rules the three realms. He is the supreme god who commands the ten gods inside and outside the three realms and all souls on the earth, representing the supreme heaven.

In the traditional folk custom of this day, women prepared incense sticks and lent bowls, and put them in the open air at the entrance of patio lane to pray for God's blessing, which pinned the good wishes of the working people in China to avoid disasters and pray for blessing.

Worship for God is one of the most popular folk customs in southern Fujian. Even the poorest families have to offer sacrifices in the first month of each year. In addition to the ninth day of the first month, they will kill pigs and water sheep to worship God during festive festivals.

In addition to southern Fujian, the folk custom of worshipping gods is also popular among overseas Chinese in southern Fujian in Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia, and the customs and rules of offering sacrifices are roughly the same as those in southern Fujian. "Worship for God" is not only the meaning of praying for blessings, but also the expression of homesickness of overseas Chinese.

The most traditional rituals in pilgrimage are: opening the door, dressing neatly, incense in order of age, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, while modern believers often only pray. After the worship, burn the golden paper first, then melt the throne of heaven together, and then withdraw the altar. When they worship God, they will burn a kind of red paper called "payment bill" and write letters to the youngest birthday to bless their families.
