In Taoist Culture, on the 17th Day of Lunar 12 Month, it is known as the Court Upraising Day of Taoist Protectors & Heavenly Marshals (道教護法天君陞府朝), meaning All Taoist Protectors & Heavenly Marshals will return back to the Celestial Realms and summoning of their Subordinates back for "Annual General Meeting" and Distributing of Tasks for the Upcoming Year.
And this is why, in Taoist or Chinese Culture, after Wei Ya Day (尾牙), alot of Taoist Groups will start to cease operation until the New Year arrives.
On this Day, usually the Taoist Priests will conduct Major Feast for Rewarding the Heavenly Marshals & Armies for their Hardship for the past 12 Months (犒賞三界護法).
Nowadays, it is rare to see such Ceremonies being conducted.
