Hokkien Culture for Honouring Yu Huang – The Prosperity Sugar-cane Gate (閩南天公誕習俗-甘蔗門節節生)





In here, you all will be seeing the Pictures on the Sugar-cane Gate (甘蔗門) growing of Sugar Shoots (甘蔗筍) after the honouring.

For those who are able to take good care of the Sugar-cane Gate, usually it will grow Shoots within 7 Days and from there, we will be able to do Predictions for the next 360 Days.

A lot of Folks tend to burn off the Sugar-cane Gate immediately after Honouring Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊) on the 9th Day of Lunar 1st Month (農曆正月初九日) or Major Taoist Celebrations, which this is not very advisable.
