Hokkien Culture for Honouring Yu Huang – The Prosperity Sugar-cane Gate (閩南天公誕習俗-甘蔗門節節生)





In here, you all will be seeing the Pictures on the Sugar-cane Gate (甘蔗門) growing of Sugar Shoots (甘蔗筍) after the honouring.

For those who are able to take good care of the Sugar-cane Gate, usually it will grow Shoots within 7 Days and from there, we will be able to do Predictions for the next 360 Days.

A lot of Folks tend to burn off the Sugar-cane Gate immediately after Honouring Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊) on the 9th Day of Lunar 1st Month (農曆正月初九日) or Major Taoist Celebrations, which this is not very advisable.

For more details on the Culture of Setting Up of Sugar-cane Gate, please proceed to this link:

    Usually the predictions are mend for the individual family or Religious Premises. Will share more if you have the Growing Sugar-cane Gate in the future.
