At noon, some young people who hurried to the meeting invited them to cut down the "explosive fleas" (Ligustrum lucidum) in the mountains and carry them home. They put branches in front of the door, hung paper money and tied incense sticks, and named them "cash cows" for use at night.

In the evening, the incense sticks on the "cash cow" began to light, and an incense table was placed outside nave's door. There is net tea such as fruit on the table, and three times kneeling and nine times knocking on the sky are praying, which is called "sending the year". After a short pause, the paper money on the branch was lit with a lighted candle, and the leaves crackled and exploded, sending the young people to shake the tree by hand, saying, "Cash cow", cornucopia, gold falls early and silver falls late, picking up four ounces on the first day, picking up half a catty on the second day, not picking up on the third and fourth day, and rolling two thousand ounces of gold into the door. When observing, cut it off with a wooden knife and tidy it up. Then you burn paper to make money, set off firecrackers and kowtow to heaven to show off the New Year. Family members scattered a handful of burning ashes on the branches, blew them up again, and sent young people to read "Explosive fleas, explosive fleas, more outside the door, less inside the house, you can't find them all year round." After the fire came, I took the branches to the shrine in the middle hall and read, "money is coming, money is coming!" " ! Turn around and close the door, and the party will be over soon. The left temple of Wusheng Palace in Gongtan is named "Empress Club" because it enshrines three ancient statues of Jin Xiao, Xiao Yin and Bi Xiao on the legendary list of gods. It is said that Niangniang is dedicated to sending children to young women, with a "centenary" attached. At that time, people called him "sending children to Niangniang".

March 20th of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the Queen, and a grand celebration is held every year.

After breakfast, young women dressed in red and green and pink were invited to the party, holding incense, filled with incense and chicken knives and smiling. They came to the Queen's Temple one after another, put sacrifices on the shrine, then straightened their clothes, solemnly worshipped the Queen and Bodhisattva, offered green oil, presented flower shoes and so on. Some knelt in front of the shrine and kowtowed like garlic, praying earnestly, acquiescing to the empress to send a precious son, and some newly-married women followed suit shyly. At this time, copper incense, wooden fish, chanting and firecrackers are endless. Don't stop until everyone has finished worshipping. At noon, after dessert, we played cards and games and baked the whole temple. In the afternoon, we held a grand banquet full of laughter. Before the end of the banquet, everyone will also wrap two birthday peaches and two boiled red eggs as gifts for the queen to show happiness and luck, and to symbolize the early birth of his son. When leaving the banquet, the ladies will also worship each other (bow to the man with their arms in both hands to show their love and courtesy). First, praise Lao Gongtan.
