Xia Yuan Festival - Shui Guan Da Di Birthday (下元水官大帝千秋)


Lord Emperor of Water Realm, known as Shui Guan Da Di (水官大帝) or full Official Title as Yang Gu Dong Yuan San Pin Xia Yuan Wu Qi Jie E Shui Guan Jin Ling Dong Yin Da Di (陽穀洞元三品下元五氣解厄水官金靈洞大帝).

 

In some Taoist contexts, San Guan Da Di (including Shui Guan 三官大帝), were the manifestation of Yuan Shi Tian Zun and in other Folks contexts, San Guan were the sons of Chen Zi Du (陳子櫝) and the Third Dragon Princess (龍王三公主).

 

In our Taoist Records, on the 15th Day of Lunar 10 Month (曆十月十五日) is consider as the Birthday of Shui Guan Da Di and also the day for him and his assistants to visit the Mortal World to do inspections and releasing of blessing.

 

And according to records of Chinese Deity System, Shui Guan Da Di was being appointed to look after all movements and issues that involved the Seas, Rivers, Streams, Rain, etc, besides that, he was also being appointed to look into the task of eliminating un-necessary sins or debts of the Mortals.

 

Due to the task that he's being appointed, on the 15th Day of Lunar 10 Month, Taoists will pay respect to Shui Guan Da Di, hoping by doing so, any un-necessary sins, debts and misfortune (解厄消災) can be deleted from the "Spiritual Records" (but only if a person is sincerely, willingly and remorsefully to turn-over-a-new-leaf).
