春季清明城隍出巡日 Lord Cheng Huang conducting Spring Season Inspection


城隍出巡﹐一年最少有三回(有些區域﹐出巡日期有別)

1 – 清明節
2 – 中元節
3 – 寒衣節

清明出巡稱為收鬼﹐民間又稱鬼告陰狀﹐是為城隍辦理無主孤魂收容事宜並為一些冤魂辦理申訴之事。

中元出巡稱為濟鬼﹐民間又稱給鬼安身﹐是為城隍慈悲分發食物及用品給不得參與普度的魂眾們。

寒衣出巡稱為探鬼 民間又稱給鬼添衣 是為城隍可憐無主孤魂而贈送寒衣﹐避免來臨冬季受寒天影響。

Lord Cheng Huang conducting Inspections.

Usually this event will occur at least 3 times per year;

1st on Qing Ming Festival

2nd on Zhong Yuan Festival

3rd on Sending of Winter Clothing Festival

These 3 Days, Lord Cheng Huang will look into the individual request of the Wandering or “Homeless” Soul and provide the necessary assistances to them.
