What are the traditional customs on the 26th day of the first month?

The 26th day of the first month is the day when Guanyin opens the library.

Every year, many good men and women come to Kannonji to pray for blessings, eliminate disasters and solve problems, and everything goes smoothly and safely. Especially at midnight on the 25th day of the first lunar month, there is a sea of people in front of every Kannonji, waiting for the opening day of Avalokitesvara on the 26th day of the first lunar month, so as to borrow the treasury from Avalokitesvara first and pray for prosperity. Every year, the 26th day of the first lunar month is the day when avalokitesvara opens the library. If you want to have a prosperous wealth and a lucky star, you can borrow the vault from avalokitesvara on the day she opens it.

The 26th day of the first month is also the day when avalokitesvara opened the library. Buddhists who want to make money can borrow the library from Guanyin Bodhisattva, and their money will come in a year. It is only a folk custom for Guanyin Bodhisattva to borrow the library, and the folk custom of "Guanyin Bodhisattva borrows the library" has a long history. According to legend, during the practice of Guanyin, 500 dharma protectors turned into adult monks and begged in Kannonji to evaluate the spiritual achievements of Master Guanyin. Merciful Guanyin opened the warehouse and let them and the good believers who came to visit the shrine enjoy all kinds of exquisite vegetarian dishes.
