  2. Yup, this is being recorded in the story of Guang Ze Zun Wang.

    One of the dates is mend for the Enlightenment Day and another is known as the Birthday.

    Due to the mis-understanding of the folks, nowadays all such dates are known as Birthday(s).

  4. According to records, 2nd Month is the Enlightenment Day.

    But again, different areas got different views on that.

  13. Zhang Fei being honoured as Da Di was being recorded in History, almost the same period with Guan Gong being address as Da Di.

    As for Jiang Zi Ya, due to he is not being officially bestowed with any Official Title, Taoists or Chinese only address him as Jiang Tai Gong.

  22. To us, the Main Stream Taoism, we only celebrate the 15th Day of 2nd Lunar Month as the so-called Birthday of Jiu Tian.

    18th Day of 8th Month as the Enlightenment, which you are right and last,

    9th Day of 9th Month as the Anniversary of Jiu Tian.

    So in Folks Culture, usually a Deities can have more than 2 Celebrations.
