In Fujian and Taiwan, the land lord is the god with the most temples, as the proverb says, "Cuojiao Cuowei (behind the corner of the house) land gong" and "Tiantou Tianwei land gong". When we walk around the streets and alleys and in the countryside, we often see the Didi Gong Temple and the statue of the Land Gong God at a certain inflection point. It is hot in the south, and our generation (grandfathers and grandmothers born in the 50s) have the Xi of walking barefoot and getting close to the land barefoot since childhood. When I was young, I listened to my eldersIf the heart of your foot is itchy, it is the land lord who is tickling, reminding you not to go out, don't be greedy for fun, and do your homework at home.
The second day of the second month of February is the "land public life", that is, the land public birthday, and this day is the day of "making the head teeth" and "the dragon raising its head". Tooth making is called a tooth festival in the north, that is, at the beginning of the month.
2. 16. Make something delicious and reward God and reward yourself. This is recorded in the Taiwanese scholar Lian Heng's "Yayan": "Teeth, drinking blessings." The home of commerce and industry, at the beginning of the month.
2. Sixteen sacrifices to the gods and enjoys their companions, which is called making teeth. In addition, the second head tooth at the beginning of February and the sixteenth tail tooth of the wax moon are used to worship the community, and the countryside is especially prosperous. ”Why is the "first tooth" period the second day of the second month of the second month and not the second day of the first month or the sixteenth day of the first month?This is mainly because the second day of February is the birthday of the social father, that is, the land father, and of course, because of the first month of the first month, "there is no food to eat until the twentieth day of the first month", during which the daily tooth sacrifice who can say which day is the "first tooth". As for the "dragon raising its head", there is a saying that "the dragon god is the earth god", such as the "Hakka Old Customs" compiled by Taiwanese scholar Zhang Zuji and Gao Xianzhi: "If the dragon god is the earth god, look at An Long's couplet to understand, he said 'chanting the Tufu, repentance and thanking the dragon god', the Tufu is the dragon god in the soil, I have heard that the dragon god has the word Gabo Gong." "In the Hakka dialect, Bogong is the land lord.
During this year's Spring Festival, like many people, we are close to the moon without leaving home. Whenever I have the idea of going out, I think of the saying that the land lord scratches people's feet. The second day of February is February 24 of the new calendar, which is not far from March, when spring flowers bloom and time comes. On the second day of February, I want to cook something delicious at home, which is considered to be "making head teeth", and when I eat, I should raise my head like a dragon and float a big white face, congratulate the land lord on his birthday, look forward to the time when I can go out, and look forward to the time when I can get in touch with the land cordially and get close to the land lord.
