Pictures of Bai Tian Gong aka Honouring Jade Emperor of Heaven (各地拜天公儀式)





In here, is a set of Collection of mine of Pictures on Taoists & Chinese of Various Countries preparing & performing the Honouring of Yu Huang Da Tian Zun (玉皇大天尊) aka Jade Emperor of Heaven, during the 8th Night of Lunar 1 Month (農曆正月初八晚).

In Asia Countries, mostly the Taoists & Chinese will prepare Luxury & Grand Offerings for the Honouring, by doing so, the Taoists & Chinese hope that Tian Gong (天公) will provide them with the necessary Blessings for the Year and also, to request for the World to have Peace & Harmony (國泰民安).

In China, not only the Hokkien Clan will performing the Honouring, but the Teochew & Hakka Clans (潮州及客家籍貫) will also pay their respect to Tian Gong too.

    Different Dialect will use different types of Fruits.

    But for South East Asia Hokkien, we dont use Fruits that grow on Ground (eg: Watermelon)

    Fruits that grow on Ground tend to have chances in contacting with dirty stuffs, so we try not to use them.

    For Sugar-cane, any Dialect Clans also can used. Just that for Hokkien, it got more reasons behind it.
