Today (19 Sep 2009), is the 1st Day of Lunar 8 Month (農曆八月初一日). And for sure, this Day will rain.

According to Old Records of Chinese Customs, it is a Must for to Rain on the 1st Day of Lunar 8 Month. Reasons for the Raining are:

1) Doing Physicial Cleaning for the Country, City or Area
2) Doing Spiritual Cleansing for the Roads & Dark Corners
3) Doing Salvation for the Remaining Wanderings that are not being Salvaged during the 7th Month Celebration

Besides that, on the 1st Day of Lunar 8 Month, Taoists & Chinese will tend to visit Temples (not because of 1st Day of every Lunar Month), but to visit Temples to request for Enhanced/Blessed Flowers for Showering, request Water that being used to Honour Deities for Drinking and last, to at least eat a Meal in the Temple to request for Health-blessing for the Next Few Months before Lunar New Year arrived.

Reason for the Health Blessing is that, cos Winter will be arriving soon, if Oneself is not Healthy enough, then Oneself will tend to get Sick easily, which can be a Fatal issue when Winter falls.

Usually after getting Home, Taoists & Chinese will tend to use the Enhanced Flower to do Cleansing for the Home too. If not, they will use the Fuming of Sandal Wood & Chinese Herbs to do Spiritual Cleansing for the House & also the People living in it.
