The origin of "respecting heaven" on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

The ninth day of the first month is the birthday of the jade emperor, the highest god in the sky, commonly known as "God's destiny". Heaven is the Jade Emperor, and Taoism calls it the "Yuan God", which is the highest god who dominates the universe. He is the supreme god who commands all the gods in the three realms and all the spirits on the earth, and represents the supreme "heaven".

The ninth day of the first month is the Christmas of the Jade Emperor, commonly known as the Jade Emperor's Club. It is said that this day will be celebrated by immortals everywhere, and the Jade Emperor will return to Lu 'an and Tiangong on the afternoon of his birthday. At that time, a grand celebration ceremony will be held in the Taoist temple. On that day, there was also the ceremony of "Ann Tai Sui". Those who committed crimes against Tai-sui can go to the temple, write down their names and years, and add some sesame oil money. The temple will be responsible for offering sacrifices. There is another way for Tai Sui: at the beginning of the year, at home, use red tablets to surround the rice tube as a stove, write "Tai Sui Xing Jun is here", and then offer sacrifices every day.

The ancient legend of "respecting God"

A legend circulating in southern Fujian regards "born in heaven" as more important than Chinese New Year, and explains the contents of the legend.

Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao's army went south from the north during the Chinese New Year (some people say it was Yang Zongbao in the Song Dynasty, while others say it was Chen Yuanguang, the sage of the Tang Dynasty. In short, it is a legend! ), the northern army met Fujian residents with different costumes and languages, and killed them because they heard that these residents called themselves "wolves" (the pronunciation of "people" in southern Fujian).

Facing the Fujian residents in the north of Qiang Bing, they had to flee to the sugarcane garden. Until the northern soldiers figured out what was going on and stopped killing. Southern Fujian talents walk out of the sugarcane garden.

It is said that fortunately only Fujian people used the day when they left the sugarcane garden, that is, the ninth day of the first month, to make up for the New Year, which formed a later custom.

After the eighth night on the eighth day, the ninth day is the time to offer sacrifices to God. At this time, families who believe in God will prepare sacrifices to worship God.

Ritual-oriented families will choose an unobstructed space facing the sky in the outdoor or indoor yard, overlap two tables to form a high altar, and put crutches on each side to look up at the sky for worship. The sugar cane that sacrifices to the gods must have leaves, so as to make it sweet and soft.
