又即將迎來「一年」【新春】之【開正】(大年初一)。

 

應【同道好友】之「詢問」，今年特別分享【迎春敬神】「開正吉辰」。

 

望大家能於【新春】「第一天」，便能迎來「一年」之「萬福金安」！

《道教新春文化。正月開正交子。迎接福祿壽。2026》

 

「正月開正」(開年) 「恭迎」或「上敬」【福祿壽三星文化】﹐最早能「追溯」至【晉朝】暨【唐朝】「初期」。

 

每年在「歲末新初」(即年二九、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」﹐在每年之【大年初一日】﹐其【三星】會行至【天之中央】﹐不但如此﹐其星「亮度」亦為「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。

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.

《道教新春文化。大年除夕午時。換春聯。謝門神。2026》

《道教新春文化。大年除夕午時。換春聯。謝門神。2026》

 

【新春文化】中，每到【大年除夕午時】(巳時交午時最易)，便是更換【春聯】暨【謝門神】】的日子。

 

如果是一般【春聯】，一旦取下後，便可「丟棄」或者放入【金爐】之中，隨之「化吉」。

 

但如果【春聯】上，印的是【門神】（不論是【鍾馗】，【尉遲恭秦叔寳】，等等），那就不可輕易或隨意丟棄，這樣是為「不敬」的。

 

在更換【門神】之時，先得點燃「三柱香」，向著【門神】舉行簡單的「答謝」，再來將【門神】取下，使用「一千金」一同與「三柱香」，將【門神】「化送」。

 

「化送」後，須得使用【五色花陰陽水】將【大門】擦拭乾净，之後等待「一刻鐘」（十五分鐘），再將「新」的【門神】貼上（貼【春聯】也是如此的步驟）。

 

【門神】上貼後，同樣點燃「三柱香」，向著「新」【門神】祝禱，祈求【門神】保佑一家大小「出入平安」，之後化「一千金」來恭迎「新」【門神】。

 

於此簡單分享，供大家明瞭。

The Preparation of the Spring Rice

 

每年，一般我都會在【除夕】時再分享此文章，但年年都有【同道好友】提早詢問，該如何準備【春飯】。

 

今年再破例，再提早於【新春開正】來臨之前作分享，希望大家能夠用的上。

 

在準備【春飯】(飯春)時﹐幾項事宜須注意﹐一切如下﹕

 

While Preparing the Spring Rice, there are a few steps to be aware of;

 

1 – 飯熟後﹐不能攪拌﹐只能取最上層的熟米飯作為春飯﹐取意﹕人上人。(圖01)

 

After the Rice is cooked, only scooped the Top Layer to make Spring Rice (Pic 01)

 

2 – 飯入碗﹐不可擠壓﹐只能輕輕鋪開以便飯粒顆顆分明﹐取意﹕明是非。(圖02)

 

Using a Clean Bowl to make Spring Rice, never push the Rice hard into the Bowl (Pic 02)

 

3 – 飯落外﹐不可丟棄﹐只能自己吃掉避免浪費寶貴食物﹐取意﹕懂珍惜。(圖02)

 

If any rice will to drop out, have to consume it and not to waste it.

 

4 – 飯添花﹐不可傾斜﹐只能將春花插正以示人正福有春﹐取意﹕添錦花。(圖03)

 

After placing the rice into the Bowl, place the Spring Flower first and remember to put it straight-up and not bent (Pic 03)

 

5 – 飯加棗﹐不可隱藏﹐只能將紅棗對乘放入春化左右邊﹐取意﹕早得貴。(圖04)

 

Only after placing the Spring Flower, then add in Red Dates. Do not press the Dates into the rice, allowed at least half the Dates to be seen (Pic 04)

 

6 – 飯上供﹐不可冷卻﹐只能乘燙熱之時與吉紅一起上供﹐取意﹕紅利豐。(圖05.1/.2)

 

After the Spring Rice is ready to place on the Altar, it must be presented to the Deities together with Ji-hong, a type of Traditional soft-candles (Pic 5.1/5.2)

 

記得【春飯】（飯春）供上后，衹有等到「大年初五」(隔開日)才能取下。

 

千萬不可在【春飯】（飯春）上放入【銅板】或者【銀角】，這是代表其他【青玄事】，太多人都有樣學樣，這是不可取的。

 

取下后，得仔細檢查看【春飯】（飯春）上的【膏】，之後以【膏】的顔色來預測『新一年』的【運程】。

 

顔色表如下：

 

紫黃：代表大富大貴，上天護佑，天官賜福。此顔色，十年難得一見，如若有，得行小答謝禮。

 

大紅及桔紅：代表當年將有喜事，可期待好事上門，新婚者可有傳嗣之兆。

 

褐紅：代表吉利，但得注意口舌，不可與他人爭執。

 

褐或黑褐：代表運勢較低，健康得注意，小病馬上求醫，老人家不可遠行。

 

綠或藍：代表家中成員腸胃出現問題，及早求醫。

《道教新春文化。歲末年首。南北斗星君。察巡天下。2026》

《道教新春文化。歲末年首。南北斗星君。察巡天下。2026》

 

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」，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, the Inspection falls on 28th Day of Lunar 12 Month (臘月廿八日), which is 15 Feb.

 

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.

《道教新春文化。十二生肖。開運保平安。2026》

 

應【同道好友】之「詢問」及「提及」，今年再分享。

 

每年，每位【生肖】都會有「不同的運勢」，【甲辰龍年】亦是如此。

 

不論是「運勢高」或者「運勢低」，都得需要一些外來物來「協助」或者「扶持」。

 

這些「協助」或者「扶持」之物品，被稱爲【開運品】(佩戴一年後，可於除夕日，將其化吉)。

 

在選購【開運品】，幾點得謹記：

 

1 – 不是花大錢就有效

 

2 – 保平安物品，一般為簡單或者容易找到的，無須「漂洋過海」

 

3 – 運勢越低的，【開運物】越容易在身邊找到，因此不要被「以訛傳訛」，非取「天上物」才能保命

送灶回天事已週。

恭迎玉皇御駕臨。

祈願御駕降慈佑。

新春平安富貴喜。

 

又到【歲末】「臘月廿五日」了﹐也就是【司命竈君】「返天稟功」後，【玉皇大天尊】「下降出巡」【三界】之日。

 

記得在「廿四亥夜」至「廿五子夜」，上供敬香恭候御駕到來。

 

上供須：

 

1 – 十二/十五杯香茶

 

2 – 道教五供或十供

 

3 – 大香

 

4 – 明燈

 

有者，則會於這個【吉祥日】，啓行「補庫補運儀式」。

 

在此祝愿各方同道好友﹕

 

旺年添富貴。

滿春增歡愉。
