The 9th Day of Lunar 1 Month is consider as the Manifestation Anniversary aka Birthday of Jade Emperor of Heaven - Yu Huang Da Tian Zun (玉皇大天尊).

This is one of the most important for the Hokkien Clan (閩南人) and also, the Taoists.

On the night of the 8th Day, the Hokkiens will start to prepare the offerings for Jade Emperor of Heaven, once the clock hit 11.00Pm (子時), the Paying Respect Ritual/Ceremony will start.

Due to certain restrictions in HDB or Private Housing Estate, nowadays, most of the Hokkiens or Taoists will choose to go to Temples, this is also encouraged.

As long as one self is sincere, Jade Emperor of Heaven will get your request.
