農曆初一日﹐迎接福祿壽。三星來駕臨﹐富貴添財氣。
ReplyDelete農曆初四日﹐恭迎灶神返。上天言好事﹐下界賜吉祥。
農曆初五日﹐迎接諸財神。四季多賜寶﹐八節慶有餘。
福祿壽喜財。
年除夕或大年初一﹐恭迎的是福祿壽三星。接著是初四恭迎灶神回駕而在初五日才是迎接財神的好日子。
福祿不進﹐富貴難迎。
富貴不足﹐壽難維持。
喜若不來﹐財寶難聚。
先迎福祿﹐壽喜財來。
Many people had mistaken that on the Eve of Lunar New Year or on the 1st Day of Lunar 1st Month, we Taoists or Chinese needed to usher in the Deities of Wealth, to be more accurate or correct, the ushering shall be done on the 5th Day of Lunar 1st Month.
On Eve or 1st Day, we need to usher in the 3 Auspicious Star Lords, which are Fu Lu Shou.
Followed by on the 4th Day to usher in Kitchen Deity from his Annual Reporting.
And lasy, on the 5th Day to usher in the Deities of Wealth after the Inspection from the various High Authorities & Reporting of Kitchen Deity.
