《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

Three Auspicious Star Lords：

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)

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):

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.
