Life Interests｜New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve Dinner for the Landlord

Today is New Year's Eve. A year has passed and a new year is about to begin.

I remember when I was a kid, my family would say goodbye on New Year's Eve. My family's belief should be Taoism and Buddhism. I believe in the Lord of Earth, but I will recite the Heart Sutra and Buddhist Sutras. That was my spiritual sustenance at the low ebb of my life and my daily entrepreneurship, whether in Taiwan or Beijing (how to chant scriptures and say goodbye in Beijing is another story).

I used to rent a house and work in Taipei before, because the house is not my own, so I don’t have the habit of worshipping the owner of the foundation. However, on the 15th day of the first day, I still go to the nearby Tugong Temple to worship, which seems to be a haven for my soul.

It was not until I went to start a business in Beijing and returned to the south that I had the opportunity to worship the land owner.

Little science:

The Lord of the Foundation: Also known as the God of the House, the God of the Landlord, the Lord of the Land, the Lord of the Land Spirit, the Lord of the House, etc., is the guardian spirit of the house and the house, just like the real landlord in our home, who oversees the world of the house and worships the Lord of the Earth. Worship the wharf, pray for the safety of the whole family and attract wealth.

Usually there are three festivals, New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, I have worshipped the winter solstice before.

The time of worship is usually from 12 noon to 3 pm.

Legend has it that the owner of the foundation likes to eat chicken legs , so he usually prepares a chicken leg bento. But later I saw some people use McDonald's and KFC to worship landowners, so the landowners in our family kept pace with the times and ate KFC family meals. (The lord of our foundation should like it very much)

Of course, there will be gold and silver treasures.

The information on the Internet, each information is different (it may be related to the layout of the house), some are worshiping in the kitchen, some are the gate, but they are all worshiping inside the house.

Before praying, say hello and ask if the owner of the foundation of the house is there. (confirm your identity)

Today, I just asked, the foundation owner of our house has already arrived.

Because it came too fast, I wanted to say at that time, is it really the owner of the foundation of our family? So I asked again, and threw a swipe. The result was a smile.

So the OS in my heart wants to say, do you think my question is too funny?

But based on the principle of confirming the identity, I asked again.... So I got a second smile.

Although I felt His kindness, I still wanted to confirm it once, so...

This time... it should be the owner of the foundation who is angry...

He gave me no answer. Also confiscated my 10 yuan (10 yuan used as a banquet)

At this time, there is a feeling that the air is condensed.

So I silently took out another ten yuan from my wallet and asked again apologetically. Sheng Xuan's answer was quickly obtained. Then began the journey of worshiping the Lord of the Earth today.

Postscript: My friend jokingly told me that it should be the foundation owner who wanted to say why he didn't let me start quickly, so he was angry. But from another angle, the 10 yuan card at the entrance is also an alternative town house or you see money every day when you enter the door. Such luck and probability are not often seen.

Finally, thank you for being safe this year, and please bless everything in the coming year.

I wish you all a Happy New Year
