Summary
[edit]DescriptionReceive the gods in chinese new year 2.jpg |
English: Men in early Republican China gathered to honor the God of Wealth Cai Shen after completing their ceremonies for the Kitchen God, who spies on the house for the Jade Emperor through the year.
First, they set up a shrine to the god in their home. Then, they lade it with many gifts including wine, incense, and paper effigies of sycees, the old boat-shaped gold and silver ingots once used for Chinese money. The longer the flames in the ceremony burn, the more prosperity the household will see in the coming year. Finally, they kowtow, bowing low to the floor as a mark of submission and respect.
中文:當迎接財神爺和灶王爺的活動結束之後,第一件神聖的事情就是在主人人家裡設立一個神龕給財神爺上供品。大量的供品中包括了酒,燃燒的香和一個燃燒的中空的黃色紙殼,同時也需要“叩首”。人們相信火焰燃燒的越久越會有好的預兆。 |
