《癸卯歲末。叩答神恩。答謝當境城隍與土地神祇。2024》

 

尾牙做牙，

答謝城隍土地。

 

明春開春，

喜迎富貴黃金。

 

「農曆十二月十六日」，即將到來，也是「該年」之「最後一個牙期」(衙期)。

 

大家記得在【答謝神恩】之時，也得好好的「祀祭」【一方土地】暨【當境城隍】。

 

Thanksgiving to Lord Cheng Huang & Tu Di for Gui Mao Rabbit Year

 

Its again the Official Thanksgiving Period for the Taoists & Chinese.

 

This also marks an End to the Old Lunar Year and the Taoists/Chinese will be ushering in the New Lunar Year in a short period.

 

For Taoists, before we conduct the main Thanksgiving Ceremony dedicated to the High Authority Deities or Home Deities, we will need to conduct a simple Thanksgiving Ceremony dedicated to the City Deity aka Cheng Huang (當境城隍) & Earth Deity aka Tu Di (此間土地) on the 2nd Day of Lunar 12 Month (農曆臘月初二日) till 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month (至農曆臘月十六日).

 

Once the Thanksgiving Ceremony is conducted to the City & Earth Deities, then the Official Thanksgiving Ceremony dedicated to the High or Home Deities will be able to conduct smoothly & “effectively”.

 

For those who are conducting the Thanksgiving Ceremony dedicated to City & Earth Deities in Temples or Home, the Auspicious timing starts from 0900 hrs till before 1900 hrs (吉時為巳至酉時).
