《道教新春文化。春飯飯春。意義譯意。2025》

 















《道教新春文化。春飯飯春。意義譯意。2025

 

「大年初五隔開日」取下【春飯】後,得仔細檢查看【春飯】上的「膏」(發酵程度),之後以「膏」的【顔色】來預測「新一年」的【運程】。

 

顔色表如下:

 

紫黃:代表大富大貴,上天護佑,天官賜福。此顔色,十年難得一見,如若有,得行小答謝禮。

 

大黃及桔黃:代表當年將有機會高升或者加薪。

 

大紅及桔紅:代表當年將有喜事,可期待好事上門,新婚者可有傳嗣之兆。

 

褐紅:代表吉利,但得注意口舌,不可與他人爭執。

 

褐或黑褐:代表運勢較低,健康得注意,小病馬上求醫,老人家不可遠行。

 

綠或藍:代表家中成員腸胃出現問題,及早求醫。

 

灰及白:代表多注意家中年老者,尤其是身體及健康的變化。

 

 

Color Code & the Significant of Spring Rice

 

I am sure by then, many people have already know about Spring Rice aka Chun Fan and the meaning of having a Chun Fan on the Altar.

 

In here, I will go further into the various colors that will appear on the Chun Fan (cause by the moulds) & the significant that are associated with the colors.

 

If the color is Purplish Yellow (紫黃) – a very Rare choice of having it (最為難得的吉祥春飯霉), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Great Fortune, Prosperity and the High Authorities Deities are there to look after the family (寓意紫氣東來﹐富貴吉祥). PS: for so many years of assisting people in preparation of Chun Fan, I’ve only seen once since 10 years back.

 

If the color is Bright Yellow (大黃/桔黃), meaning that, the year, someone in the family will be having a Promotion or getting an increment in the Salary or for those who got own Business, the Business will have a good profit-made (寓意飛黃騰達).

 

If the color is Bright-red (大紅/桔紅), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Great Auspicious Good Luck (寓意鴻運當頭) and may have the Blessing of Offspring.

 

If the color is Dark-red (褐紅), meaning that, the year the whole family will be blessed with Medium Good Luck which needs to avoid encountering Negative Events and so beware of Minor Conflicts due to Miscommunication (寓意事事順利).

 

Whereas, if the color is dark brown/black (褐或黑褐), that the family will have to work harder for Good Luck to be bestowed on & beware of Backstabbers, once One is down with Minor Illness, do not hesitate to seek Medication Assistances (寓意再接再勵).

 

If the color is Greenish (淺青/青藍), meaning that, the year the family will need to have a “Restart” in certain “issues”, such as having the house refurnish or getting some new furniture to gain the necessary Prosperity Blessing. For some families, this can be a sign of someone getting married or having baby and Sickness might be connected to your Stomach & Gastric (寓意重新出發﹐自我檢討).

 

If the color is White (灰白), meaning that, the year, someone in the family might encounter some health issue, so do be more careful or aware of the health of the Elderly or young children (寓意身虛體恙).


《道教新春文化。大年初五。隔開日。2025》





 

《道教新春文化。大年初五。隔開日。2025

 

「大年初五日」﹐又稱【隔開日】或【破五日】﹐有些【地方區】則會稱為【送五(五窮)日】。

 

「最早起源」可「追溯」至【晉朝】或【唐朝中葉】。

 

早期【隔開日】﹐是將一切在「大年初一日」所遺留下來的【垃圾】﹐帶到外頭清理﹐以釋義「壞的去﹐好的來」﹐而演變至今﹐也有人把【隔開日】稱為【送窮日】或【打小人日】﹐也就是把一些「壞心眼」的人們「隔開」﹐切斷一切交往。

 

而在【年節習俗】上﹐這天則得將「大年初一日」上供的【供品】全部取下﹐將【神案】清理乾淨﹐以等待【財神福神喜神】降臨。

 

注﹕

 

【本門】通常在「隔開」後﹐會準備「一份新」的【桔子】及【清水】作為【供品】(新春期間,神案上不能空)

 

Fifth Day of Lunar First Month is known as Ge Kai Day, which means Clearing of Rubbish Day or Sending Off Poverty Day.

 

In some places, on this Day, people will also practised Sending Off of Back-stabbers or disconnecting any form of relationships with those people whom oneself wanted not to meet anymore.

 

In Lunar New Year or Taoism Practises, this Day, Taoists had to clean the Altar and retrieve-down all the Offerings that were being offered on the First Day, this is to make sure that the Altar is Clean and Neat for the ushering of Deities of Wealth, Prosperity & Happiness.

 

PS: For LSM, after doing Ge Kai, Jave will prepare a new set of Oranges and 3 cups of Water to offer to the Deities.

 

 

 

《道教新春文化。春花。桔花。花開富貴。2025》

 





《道教新春文化。春花。桔花。花開富貴。2025

 

應【同道好友】之詢問,今年特別上貼【桔花】的照片,以便大家能分辯不同的【春花類】。

 

「農曆新春」期間,在很多「敬神」的【供品】上,都會看見「一朵」【紅花】,此【紅花】被稱為【春花】或者【春仔花】,也是【閩南春節文化】中的一種【老傳統】及「老祖宗的記憶」。

 

【春花】,源自【劍蘭】或稱【迎春花】,是為「早期」【閩南先輩】們在【農曆新春】期間用於「敬神」的必要【年花】。

 

早期,【閩南先輩】會直接摘下【劍蘭花苞】,放於【新春供品】之上,等待【劍蘭花苞】開啓,便是【迎來新春】之意,而隨著時間的「洗禮」,使用「新鮮」【劍蘭花苞】慢慢的被【紙春花】取代,演變成今天的【春花】。

 

「一朵正確」的【春花】,【紅色】部分會有【三層】(代表【財子壽】),而在【三層】之下,會有【圓珠】(代表【榮華富貴】),再來便是【綠葉】(代表【子孫滿堂】),這就是【劍蘭】的「樣子」,如果不是這樣的【春花】,衹能被稱為【金花】或者【桔花】。

 

今日在此簡單分享,希望大家在使用【春花】暨【桔花】時,能多知道其來源及寓意。

 

祝願大家:

 

春來發枝財運旺。

花開富貴滿庭芳。

 

恭喜恭喜。

《道教新春文化。大年初二。開年納財。2025》







 

《道教新春文化。大年初二。開年納財。2025

 

大年初二,

開年納財迎富貴。

 

祀土敬神,

四季康寧享財源。

 

「農曆正月初二日」,又稱【開年吉日】,也是很多人「開葷之日」。

 

對於【閩南】多數【籍貫族群文化】,「大年初二開年吉日」可說是一個非常重要的日子,尤其「做生意者」、「求財者」,等等,更是會準備很多的【大禮供品】來「祭神祀土」。

 

「大年初一開正」,係為【天臘聖日】,朝敬【天神真聖】。

 

「大年初二開年」,係為【開年吉日】,祭祀【地仙土祗】。

 

很多人會把「大年初二日」之【開年吉日】,誤為【頭牙】或者【首衙期】,其實不然,「兩者」有著不同得意義或者意思。

 

應詢問,於此分享「大年初二開年吉日」之重要【供品】,只要你來得及準備,那麼就不能不準備喔!

《道教新春文化。開正。天臘。求子保育。2025》






 

《道教新春文化正。天臘。求子保育。2025

 

「大年初一日」,即是「農曆民歲開正日」,亦係【道教文化】中,「迎接」【鴻貴天尊喜神元君】之期。

 

除此之外,「大年開正」,更是【大羅玉清道寶元始天尊】之「萬壽千秋吉慶」。

 

再來,便是「設壇朝敬」【五臘】之首之【天臘】之辰。

 

《赤松子章曆》載」:正月一日天臘、五帝校定生人神氣、時限長短、益添年命、求禱子孕、祭祀先亡、昇達玄祖、其日不可壅滯溝澗、用力色欲、可吟詠歌讚,導引神氣。

 

而且,於「開正晚間戌時至亥時末」,便是【九天衛房府】之【天嗣星君】(掌生育事),「划過天際」降嗣」之時。

 

這也是【道教生育文化】之中,每每到了「大年初一日」,便會「啟行」【求子保育】之【法事】。

 

不知你「求子保育」了嗎?

《道教新春文化。正月開正交子。迎接福祿壽。2025》


 

《道教新春文化。正月開正交子。迎接福祿壽。2025

 

正月開正(開年) 「恭迎」或「上敬」【福祿壽三星文化】﹐最早能追溯至【晉朝】暨【唐朝】「初期」。

 

每年在歲末新初(即年二九、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」﹐在每年之【大年初一日】﹐其【三星】會行至【天之中央】﹐不但如此﹐其星「亮度」亦為「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(當時只限制在迎接當日的財神,而非一年之財神)﹐最早【新春接財神】是「源於」【唐朝末年】或【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

 

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2016/02/fu-lu-shou-aka-three-auspicious-star.html

Ushering in Star Lord Fu Lu Shou on Lunar New Year

 

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)

 

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.619479301452254&type=1

 

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 Jun (福祿壽三星君寶誥):

 

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2013/02/banner-of-fu-lu-shou-bao-gao.html

 

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.

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。
