Tai Yang Xing Jun aka Lord of Sun or Lord of Sun (日宮太陽星君), one of the Important Deities in the Heavenly Realm that provide the direct Blessings for All Beings in the Mortal World.

According to Taoist Records, there are 2 Manifestation Anniversaries for Tai Yang Xing Jun, one is one the 19th Day of Lunar 3 Month (農曆三月十九日) and another one is on 19th Day of Lunar 8 Month (農曆八月十九日).

For Year 2014, 19th Day of Lunar 3 Month falls on 18 Apr, a Friday.

On this Day, the Taoists or Chinese will tend to visit Temples that being dedicated to Tai Yang Xing Jun to pay respect in early Morning, usually during the timing of Sun-rise.

In Ming Dynasty, the belief on Tai Yang Xing Jun became more popular, cos in some contexts, the folks believed that Ming Empire was somehow closely connected with him.

And so what to prepare for the honouring?

6 Pong Phia (大碰餅)
7 Rice Wine (米酒)
8 Chinese Tea (茶)
9 Paper Offerings (紙料)
10 Candles (蠟燭)

Once all these stuffs are prepared and ready, then one self can proceed to the Temple.
