癸巳蛇年歲末清屯 Spring Cleaning of Gui Si Snake Year
又到一年清屯的開始了。
有些人會在送灶前一天或當天清屯﹐有些則會在臘月廿五日開始清屯﹐但如果你有恭迎”玉皇出巡聖駕”﹐那就得等到臘月廿六日子時才可開始清屯。
清屯何時止呢﹖
通常在恭迎”南北斗星君”出巡註福壽日的前一天停止 (癸巳蛇年即是臘月廿八日亥時)。
記得在移動神明聖像前﹐先敬香祝告當日當時為清屯吉日吉辰﹐在清淨完結﹐再請眾神明歸位並獻上清香熱茗。
After Sending Off Kitchen Deity and Ushering in the Arrival of Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang, on the 26th Day of Lunar 12 Month, the Spring Cleaning can take place and the whole Spring Cleaning must ends before the Inspection of Dipper Lords take place, for Year 2014, will be before 28 Jan.
For those who are cleaning the Altar and Statues of the Deities, please do take note of the following procedures;
1 – Light 3 Incenses, then Report to the Deities on the Date, Time of the Spring Cleaning
2 – Place the Incenses into the Urn
3 – Gently Touch the Urn and Push the Urn side-way of about 3cm
4 – After shifting the Urn, then Shift the Statues onto another Clean Table with Red-paper spread on it

(need not say anything)
