《道教三官文化。下元慶安。朝敬水官。2021》

 

【下元水官大帝】為【道教三官】之一，全銜為【陽穀洞元三品下元五炁解厄水官金靈洞陰大帝】，【道教】並訂【三官大帝】聖誕日或者下凡攷校日，【天官】為【上元節】、【地官】為【中元節】，【水官】為【下元節】（即是農曆十月十五日 ）。

 

【元始天尊】誥【天官】為【上元一品九炁天官賜福大帝】 ，【地官】為【中元二品七炁地官赦罪清虛大帝】，【水官】為【下元三品五炁水官解厄洞陰大帝】。

 

【下元水官大帝】主審川澤水域，記錄眾生功過，掌死魂鬼神之籍。

 

《正一修真旨要》云： 下元，九江水帝，十二河原溪穀大神，陽穀神主，水府靈官，同下人間校定罪福。

 

人間如欲消災免禍，可朝敬【解厄洞陰大帝】（即【水官大帝】）。

 

【古時】歷代帝皇推崇【三官】，並規定菲幹禁忌，漁獵，各斷屠三日。

 

【宋代【則規定【三元節】停止對死罪犯人的審訊和執行。

 

【三官】之起源傳說很多，古今圖書集成神異典雲：【三官】起源于金水之【土三炁】，而為【三官】：一說是【元始天尊】吸收天地靈炁所生的三位兒子，即堯、舜、禹；一說三官之父陳子櫝與龍王的三閨女婚配，各生之一子。

 

說法均不一，難有定論：【道教】以【下元節】為【消災日】，此日可借香燭牲醴祭【水官大帝】祈消災。

 

Lord Emperor of Water Realm, known as Shui Guan Da Di (水官大帝) or full Official Title as Yang Gu Dong Yuan San Pin Xia Yuan Wu Qi Jie E Shui Guan Jin Ling Dong Yin Da Di (三品下元五炁解厄水官金靈洞陰大帝).

 

In some Taoist contexts, San Guan Da Di (including Shui Guan 三官大帝), were the manifestation of Yuan Shi Tian Zun and in other Folks contexts, San Guan were the sons of Chen Zi Du (陳子櫝) and the Third Dragon Princess (龍王三公主).

 

In our Taoist Records, on the 15th Day of Lunar 10 Month (農曆十月十五日) is consider as the Birthday of Shui Guan Da Di and also the day for him and his assistants to visit the Mortal World to do inspections and releasing of blessing.

 

And according to records of Chinese Deity System, Shui Guan Da Di was being appointed to look after all movements and issues that involved the Seas, Rivers, Streams, Rain, etc, besides that, he was also being appointed to look into the task of eliminating un-necessary sins or debts of the Mortals.

 

Due to the task that he’s being appointed, on the 15th Day of Lunar 10 Month, Taoists will pay respect to Shui Guan Da Di, hoping by doing so, any un-necessary sins, debts and misfortune (解厄消災) can be deleted from the “Spiritual Records” (but only if a person is sincerely, willingly and remorsefully to turn-over-a-new-leaf).
