《正月開年接福祿壽 》
Ushering
in Star Lord Fu Lu Shou on Lunar New Year
正月開年(開正)恭迎或上敬【福祿壽三星】文化﹐最早能追溯至晉朝/唐朝初期。
每年在歲末新初(即年三十/大年初一子時)﹐皇帝及高官會設香案﹐恭迎【福祿壽三星】降臨人間﹐祈望來年國泰民安﹐百業興隆。據【天文學】所顯示﹐在每年的【大年初一日】﹐其【三星】會行至【天之中央】﹐不但如此﹐其星亮度為全年最亮。
那為何會有”除夕接財神”﹖
其實這是在清朝民初時才有的習俗﹐最早【新春接財神】是源於唐朝末年/宋朝初期﹐而且日子為”大年初五日寅時始”﹐對象為【正一玄壇趙公明天君及部下四路財神】。
為了保留傳統﹐在此希望各方同道好友能繼續發揚此文化﹐以免此寶貴文化消失不見。

三星拱照福祿壽 Fu Lu Shou aka The Three Auspicious Star Lords:
In South East Asia, due to
Commercialization and Mis-concept, alot of Taoists & Folks tend to perform
the Ushering of Deity of Wealth on the Eve or 1st Day of Lunar New Year, which
this is totally In-correct and Ignorant. Recently in Singapore, there are even
The-Claimed-Taoist-Organisations conducting the Ushering in of Deity of Wealth
for Devotees and asking them to participant in the Ceremony, This is seriously
distorting the Upright Culture of Taoism and Chinese Customs.
In here, I will like to advise Taoists
& Chinese not to get Con by such Temples, Organisations, etc. Cos Ushering
in of Deity of Wealth can only be done on the 5th Day of Lunar New Year or
11.30Pm on the 4th Night of Lunar New Year.
So who we Usher in on the Eve or the 1st
Day?
They are actually Fu Lu Shou - the Three
Star Lords of Prosperity, Fortune (Career/Academic) and Longevity (福祿壽三星君簡介)

So what shall oneself prepare?
For the Ushering of Fu Lu Shou, actually
is very easy and simple.
Just prepare a set of 3 Good Incenses, 3
cups of warm Chinese Tea or Wine and a set of 5 Oranges.
After preparing, set up the Offerings on
a small Desk that faces the Heaven (any Direction).
Once everything is ready, Recite the
Offering Incense Incantation and then call upon the Title of Fu Lu Shou Xing

After that, report who you are and where
you stay, then make your simple Request.
Once finished, make 3 sincere Bows and
then return back into the House.
After entering into the House, leave the
Door open (with Gate locked for safety) until the whole family going to rest.
Once All these are done, Fu Lu Shou the
3 Star Lords will Blessed on the whole Family with All the necessary Blessings
(better off then just getting Blessing from Deity of Wealth).
Do also look up into the Sky, cos
Tonight, Fu Lu Shou Stars (Orion Stars 獵戶星座) are usually the Brightest in the whole Year.

Do remember, do not go to any
Un-official Temples or Organisation to join in any such Ceremonies, especially
those that required Big Sum of Money. They are just trying to use the Name of
Deities to gain the Un-necessary Money.
Last of All, wishes All:
福到祿到壽星到。
Fu Dao Lu Dao Shou Xing Dao
財旺運旺富貴旺。
