《道教新春文化。大年初四。恭迎司命灶君。回府安座》

上天言好事，

好事傳人間，

人人得佑。

下界保平安，

平安添吉祥，

吉吉得樂。

一轉眼﹐「一周」的【假期】就過去了﹐很快的﹐我們又得「恭迎」【九天司命灶君】「回府安座」。

那些有「送灶登座」的同道好友們，請記得在「大年初四日申時」【迎灶回府】。

Welcoming Back Kitchen Deity

Time really flies, a week’s holiday for our Kitchen Deity is almost up and we have to usher him to the Mortal Realm again.

For those who have send Kitchen Deity off last month, do remember to welcome him back on 4th Day of Lunar 1 Month from 1500 – 1700 hours.

《道教新春文化。天慶祈福。叩答聖真》

正月初三天慶日，

如開正，

小年朝。

寅月虎朝天德辰，

如迎春，

接貴人。

「正月初三日」，「史稱」【天慶日】，與【天貺日】同等「重要」，亦是【道教節日文化】中，必會慶祝的一個「節日」。

【天慶日】，如同「過年」，於「清晨」就得「獻香朝敬」，再來便是「祈福叩謝」。

除此之外，亦是「祭虎神」暨「招貴人」之日。

不知你「祈願」沒？

《道教新春文化。大年初三。行善集福》

初三積善朝，

祈求闔家安。

慈善天德日，

寛心四季鴻。

恭喜恭喜。

「民間」一般認為「大年初三」是【赤口日】（「正月」為「寅虎月」，「初三」為「三虎日」），因而不「出門」或者「行春」，其實不然。

於【新春文化】中，此日其實被視為「行善日」，也就是於此日「行善」，反而能帶來「一年四季」的【平安】。

除此之外，於「大年初三日」，不可「心存抱怨」或者「道人長短」，再來不可有「負面情緒」，不然於「大年二十」及「大年廿一」之【天穿日】期之後，則會影響「下半年」之【運勢】。

所以大家要注意。

《道教新春文化。開年祭福德。乞財納福》

【立春聖日】，係為【開春】。

【大年初一】，係為【開正】。

那麼【大年初二】呢？

些許人會稱【大年初二】為【開年】。

【大年初二】，除了【女兒】們「回娘家」的【春俗】，再來便是準備【三牲酒禮】或【三牲九禮】，來「祭天地」及「祀祖先」。

而幾許【南方籍貫族群】則會在【大年初二】才「開葷」，因而會準備「大魚大肉」來向【神明】「賀歲叩恩」。

於【閩南新春文化】，【大年初二】就得準備【三牲酒禮】或【三牲九禮】來「祭土地」或者「敬福德」。

再來便是在「申時」後，向【土地公】「乞財」。

何為【九禮】？

此【九禮】並非【周禮】或者【禮記】裡的【九禮儀】，而是指【供品】或【貢品】。

很多人會誤為【三牲】一定要配【酒禮】（即是【酒】），其實不然。

「早期」的【九禮】係為，如下：

一，三種水果（當季）

二，三種糕餅（如今的【碰餅】【綠豆糕】【蔴花卷】）

三，三種甜食（如今的【花生糖】【貢糖】【芝蔴糖】）

一切準備好後，便可於「申時末」開始「祭祀」至「酉時正點」再「化寶答謝」。

之後，再於「大年初十」準備簡單【供品】敬【福德土地】即可。

《道教新春文化。初二開年。敬福德。祭土地。滿城黃金》

轉眼就「大年初二」【開年日】了。

於「朝敬」【福德土地神】之時，記得誠心誦念其【寶誥】以求「平安」，當然也不能忘了【福德夫人】。

記得今天為【新春】中，「大吉利」之日，除了「囘娘家」，便是「乞財納福」之期。

最後，於此日千萬不可「自暴自棄」或者「言人是非」，不然「今年一整年」就得「應誓而行」，那就「大吉利是」了。

恭喜恭喜。

《道教新春文化。開正子時降吉祥。三星福祿壽寶誥》

轉眼就到【大年夜】了，這一天，相信大家都會很忙，除了「上供」，「團圓」，就是準備「迎接新正」的到來。

【道教新春文化】中，於【除夕】「亥時」至【新春】「開正子時」，必定會設案迎接【福祿壽三星】。

此文化，源遠流長，至今也有「數千年」之久了。

在迎接【福祿壽三星】，一定得行【開春科儀】及誦念其【三星福祿壽寶誥】。

與此分享，希望大家「今晚」都能用得到。

祝福大家：

三星高照福祿壽。

四季平安財富貴。

恭喜恭喜。

《道教新春文化。正月開年交子。迎接福祿壽》

《道教新春文化。正月開年交子。迎接福祿壽》

「正月開年」(開正)恭迎或上敬【福祿壽三星】文化﹐最早能追溯至【晉朝】及【唐朝】初期。

每年在「歲末新初」(即年三十/大年初一子時)﹐【皇帝】及【高官】會設香案﹐恭迎【福祿壽三星】降臨人間﹐祈望來年「國泰民安」﹐「百業興隆」。

據【天文學】所顯示﹐在每年的【大年初一日】﹐其【三星】會行至【天之中央】﹐不但如此﹐其星亮度為全年最亮。

那為何會有「除夕接財神」﹖

其實這是在【清朝民初】時才有的「習俗」﹐最早【新春接財神】是源於【唐朝末年】或【宋朝初期】﹐而且日子為「大年初五日寅時始」﹐對象為【正一玄壇趙公明天君及部下四路財神】。

為了保留傳統﹐在此希望各方同道好友能繼續發揚此文化﹐以免此寶貴文化消失不見。

三星拱照福祿壽 Fu Lu Shou aka The Three Auspicious Star Lords：

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2016/02/fu-lu-shou-aka-three-auspicious-star.html

Ushering in Star Lord Fu Lu Shou on Lunar New Year

In South East Asia, due to Commercialization and Mis-concept, alot of Taoists & Folks tend to perform the Ushering of Deity of Wealth on the Eve or 1st Day of Lunar New Year, which this is totally In-correct and Ignorant. Recently in Singapore, there are even The-Claimed-Taoist-Organisations conducting the Ushering in of Deity of Wealth for Devotees and asking them to participant in the Ceremony, This is seriously distorting the Upright Culture of Taoism and Chinese Customs.

In here, I will like to advise Taoists & Chinese not to get Con by such Temples, Organisations, etc. Cos Ushering in of Deity of Wealth can only be done on the 5th Day of Lunar New Year or 11.30Pm on the 4th Night of Lunar New Year.

So who we Usher in on the Eve or the 1st Day?

They are actually Fu Lu Shou - the Three Star Lords of Prosperity, Fortune (Career/Academic) and Longevity (福祿壽三星君簡介)

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.619479301452254&type=1

So what shall oneself prepare?

For the Ushering of Fu Lu Shou, actually is very easy and simple.

Just prepare a set of 3 Good Incenses, 3 cups of warm Chinese Tea or Wine and a set of 5 Oranges.

After preparing, set up the Offerings on a small Desk that faces the Heaven (any Direction).

Once everything is ready, Recite the Offering Incense Incantation and then call upon the Title of Fu Lu Shou Xing Jun (福祿壽三星君寶誥):

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2013/02/banner-of-fu-lu-shou-bao-gao.html

After that, report who you are and where you stay, then make your simple Request.

Once finished, make 3 sincere Bows and then return back into the House.

After entering into the House, leave the Door open (with Gate locked for safety) until the whole family going to rest.

Once All these are done, Fu Lu Shou the 3 Star Lords will Blessed on the whole Family with All the necessary Blessings (better off then just getting Blessing from Deity of Wealth).

Do also look up into the Sky, cos Tonight, Fu Lu Shou Stars (Orion Stars 獵戶星座) are usually the Brightest in the whole Year.

Introduction on Orion Star aka Hunter Star (獵戶星座簡介):

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2008/02/introduction-on-orion-star-aka-hunter_1164.html

Do remember, do not go to any Un-official Temples or Organisation to join in any such Ceremonies, especially those that required Big Sum of Money. They are just trying to use the Name of Deities to gain the Un-necessary Money.

Last of All, wishes All:

福到祿到壽星到。

Fu Dao Lu Dao Shou Xing Dao

財旺運旺富貴旺。
