On the ninth day of the new year, pay homage to the Lord of Heaven @~~

The ninth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Fujian people worship Tiangong and celebrate the New Year. Her husband is from Fujian, so every year on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, they worship Tiangong. The ceremony of worshiping Tiangong in the early morning of this day was more lively and solemn than welcoming the New Year and receiving the God of Wealth on New Year's Eve. After the ceremony, everyone ate a rich New Year meal to show reunion and good luck. Fujian people pay tribute to Tiangong. In addition to being grateful, they also pray for Tiangong to bless the whole family in the new year, so that the whole family can be safe and promoted step by step.

Because I have to go to work, everything is prepared by my husband and family. We just went back to our husband's house after work to say goodbye. I can hurry back after work and make a big steamed cake to pay homage to heaven, because this steamed cake is very simple and will be ready in less than half an hour.

Legend has it that during the Lunar New Year in the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates killed people, set fires, and robbed property along the coast of Fujian. The villagers helped the old and the young to escape for their lives.

When the villagers fled to a remote countryside in the dark, they saw that the Japanese pirates were about to catch up with them. Everyone was extremely scared. Suddenly, a large sugarcane forest appeared in front of them. The villagers fled into the sugarcane forest to escape, avoiding the Japanese pirates and escaping the gate of death.

This day is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. The villagers who escaped from heaven all believe that this is the Heaven Lord saving their lives, so they worship Heaven Lord in the early morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year every year to thank them for saving their lives. And worshiping sugarcane also has the grace of not forgetting the sugarcane forest to hide and save lives.

Another legend is that in ancient times, there was a General Meng. When he went to a certain place, as long as he drank the local water, he would speak the local language. He used this ability to identify Han people.

But when he arrived in Fujian, his subordinates actually brought him water from other provinces to drink. As a result, he never knew how to speak Fujian. He thought that the Fujianese were not Han Chinese, so he ordered a massacre, and countless Fujianese died in vain.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the water transported from other provinces was drunk. General Meng
