《道教新春文化。正月開年交子。迎接福祿壽。2022》

 

「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」(當時只限制在迎接當日的財神，而非一年之財神)﹐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：

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):

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。

財旺運旺富貴旺。

南北星斗巡天下。

造冊記錄奏玉駕。

一心顯誠千惡滅。

三叩九敬萬福降。

 

【玉皇大天尊】與「臘月廿五日」巡視天下後，到了「大年除夕」的「前一天」(辛丑牛年則是臘月廿八日星期天)，便是【南北斗星君】下凡錄簿之時，這也是一年最後的「天神巡視」，而這一次的【南北斗星君】下凡錄簿，便會影響來年【上元天官】攷校天下時的「承負」了。

 

Annual Inspection of Lord Nan Bei Dou before New Lunar Year

 

With the completion of the Inspection conducted by Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊), it’s the turn for Star Lord Nan Bei Dou (南北斗星君) to conduct their Annual Inspection for the Year.

 

Upon completion of this Annual Inspection, Individual’s Conduct will be recorded and the Records will be used to Grade the Blessing for the Individual for the Old Year (為新年察巡天下以定福禍).

 

This Year 2022, the Inspection falls on 28th Day of Lunar 12 Month (臘月廿九日), which is 30 Jan, a Sunday.

 

For more detailed info on how to prepare for this Day, please refer to the following;

 

In Taoist Culture, 1 Day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve, is considered as the Inspection Day of Lord Nan Bei Dou (南北斗星君).

 

On this Day, Taoists will visit Temples or Set-up Altar at Home to usher in Lord Nan Bei Dou in-order to request for the Necessary Blessing for the Lunar New Year.

 

So what is the Main Purpose of this Inspection?

 

On the 25th Day of Lunar 12 Month, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊) had made his Inspection on the Mortal World to check on the on-going activities that Mortals are involved in and during this Inspection, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang will definitely be there to check on the Good & Evil Doings of Mortals. And so, after this Inspection, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang will need a Follow-up Inspection by the Associated Officers to do the Recording and so, before a New Lunar Year arrives, Lord Nan Bei Dou will be appointed to do the Inspection in-order for them to do the necessary Recording on the Credits, Merits, Sins & Debts of Mortals and from there, the equality-blessing will be bestowed upon the Mortal accordingly.

 

After the necessary Recordings are being made and being reported to Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang, on the 15th Day of Lunar 1 Month (農曆正月十五日), Heavenly Lord of Heavenly Realm aka Tian Guan Da Di (天官大帝) will be there to perform the Inspection and Distributing of Fortune & Prosperity to the Mortals (賜福人間) who have gained the necessary Blessing according to their Accumulated Credits & Merits.

 

Before that, On the Eve of Lunar New Year (大年除夕), Fu Lu Shou (福祿壽) – the Three Prosperity Stars will be there to distribute the necessary Blessing to the Mortals for the Lunar New Year. Due to this piece of Info is not being widely share among the Taoists & Chinese, a lot of People tend to mistaken that on the Eve of Lunar New Year is a Day to usher in the Deity of Wealth (財神), which is Wrong and this is just a Commercial Trick that Modern People had planned.

 

So what to do on this Day?

 

For Lord Nan Bei Dou’s Inspection Day, usually some simple Honouring being done will do.

 

Main Purpose of this Honouring is to Sincerely & Faithfully making Self-reflection & Reprimanding of One’s Wrong Doing for the past 1 Year and hoping by doing so, Lord Nan Bei Dou will be there to provide the necessary Guidance for Oneself and Oneself will be able to be Blessed by the Heaven for the next 12 Months.

 

Besides that, this is also to remind Oneself that from this Day onwards, Oneself shall be more Kind, Compassionate and Caring towards the others and also, Oneself must be responsible in ALL Physical & Verbal actions that Oneself has made.

 

So what to Prepare for the Honouring?

 

For the Offerings, Oneself can prepare the following:

 

1 – 3 cups of Chinese Tea or Water (三杯清茶/水)

 

2 – 5 Longevity Buns (五個壽桃包)

 

3 – 1 packet of Longevity Noodles (一份長壽面)

 

4 – 1 Huat Kueh (一個發糕)

 

5 – 1 Nian Gao (一個年糕)

 

6 – 1 set of Red Candles (一對紅燭)

 

7 – 3 Long Incenses (三支長壽香)

 

Once all the Offerings are Ready, just proceed to any nearby Temples to do the Honouring.

 

So what to Say during the Honouring?

 

Before Oneself make any form of Requests, remember to make 3 Sincere Bow and then Kneel down.

 

Upon Kneeling down, report Oneself’s Name, DOB, Residing Address, Today’s Date and the Request that Oneself making. After the Requesting, make 3 Bows and then stand up.

 

Remember, do not make any form of Un-realistic Requesting, especially to Lord Nan Bei Dou, San Guan Da Di (三官大帝), etc.

After the Honouring, what to do with the Offerings?

 

Do remember to bring back the Offerings, if Oneself got Altar at Home, place them on the Altar, if not, the Offerings can be shared among the Family Members.

 

Last of ALL, wishes ALL of You having a Nice Communication with Lord Nan Bei Dou before Lunar New Year arrives.

《道教灶神文化。天廚三座星。灶神之主。2022》

 

「傳道修道習道入道」者，除了每年「臘月廿三」及「廿四日」得恭送【竈君】（司命帝君）回【金闕】，也得在【壇中】供奉【天廚天尊】及【五廚星君】。

 

一是爲了在平時「上供」時，得恭請【天廚天尊】來「化供」，再來於「行科普施」時，得請【五廚星君】來「化食」。

 

在【星象學】中，【天廚天尊】又稱【天廚六星】，而【五廚星君】則被稱【外廚星】，與【竈王星】同稱【天廚三座星】。

 

因此，很多人或者一些【民間學者】會把【灶神文化】與【祝融】混爲一談，其實是「不正確」的，因爲早在【道教經典文化】中，就有提到【天廚】及【五廚】。

 

一點得注意的是，在「臘月小年送灶」時，【天廚天尊】及【五廚星君】是不用送的。

 

在此分享，共大家明瞭。

《道教新春文化。春花。有春四季春。2022》

 

《道教新春文化。春花。有春四季春。2022》

 

「農曆新春」期間，在很多「敬神」的【供品】上，都會看見「一朵」【紅花】，此【紅花】被稱為【春花】或者【春仔花】，也是【閩南春節文化】中的一種【老傳統】及「老祖宗的記憶」。

 

【春花】，源自【劍蘭】或稱【迎春花】，是為「早期」【閩南先輩】們在【農曆新春】期間用於「敬神」的必要【年花】。

 

早期，【閩南先輩】會直接摘下【劍蘭花苞】，放於【新春供品】之上，等待【劍蘭花苞】開啓，便是【迎來新春】之意，而隨著時間的「洗禮」，使用「新鮮」【劍蘭花苞】慢慢的被【紙春花】取代，演變成今天的【春花】。

 

「一朵正確」的【春花】，【紅色】部分會有【三層】（代表【財子壽】），而在【三層】之下，會有【圓珠】（代表【榮華富貴】），再來便是【綠葉】（代表【子孫滿堂】），這就是【劍蘭】的「樣子」，如果不是這樣的【春花】，衹能被稱為【金花】或者【桔花】，也就「失去」【春花】的意義了。

 

在【正月開正】之時或者【立春開春】之日，有些【閩南籍貫】則會在【香爐】内，插上「一朵」【春花】，代表【春天】已經降臨，等待「來年」【清黗】之期，再將【舊春花】化掉。

 

今日在此簡單分享，希望大家在使用【春花】時，能多知道其來源及寓意。

 

祝願大家：

 

春來發枝財運旺。

花開富貴滿庭芳。

 

恭喜恭喜。

Color Code & the Significant of Spring Rice

 

I am sure by then, many people have already know about Spring Rice aka Chun Fan and the meaning of having a Chun Fan on the Altar.

 

In here, I will go further into the various colors that will appear on the Chun Fan (cause by the moulds) & the significant that are associated with the colors.

 

If the color is Purplish Yellow (紫黃) – a very Rare choice of having it (最為難得的吉祥春飯霉), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Great Fortune, Prosperity and the High Authorities Deities are there to look after the family (寓意紫氣東來﹐富貴吉祥). PS: for so many years of assisting people in preparation of Chun Fan, I’ve only seen once since 10 years back.

 

If the color is Bright Yellow (大黃/桔黃), meaning that, the year, someone in the family will be having a Promotion or getting an increment in the Salary or for those who got own Business, the Business will have a good profit-made (寓意飛黃騰達).

 

If the color is Bright-red (大紅/桔紅), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Great Auspicious Good Luck (寓意鴻運當頭) and may have the Blessing of Offspring.

 

If the color is Dark-red (褐紅), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Medium Good Luck which needs to avoid encountering Negative Events and so beware of Minor Conflicts due to Miscommunication (寓意事事順利).

 

Whereas, if the color is dark brown/black (褐或黑褐), that the family will have to work harder for Good Luck to be bestowed on & beware of Backstabbers, once One is down with Minor Illness, do not hesitate to seek Medication Assistances (寓意再接再勵).

 

If the color is Greenish (淺青/青藍), meaning that, the year the family will need to have a “Restart” in certain “issues”, such as having the house refurnish or getting some new furniture to gain the necessary Prosperity Blessing. For some families, this can be a sign of someone getting married or having baby and Sickness might be connected to your Stomach & Gastric (寓意重新出發﹐自我檢討).

 

If the color is White (灰白), meaning that, the year, someone in the family might encounter some health issue, so do be more careful or aware of the health of the Elderly or young children (寓意身虛體恙).
