Brief introduction of the ninth day of the first month

In China, the ninth day of the first month is the Christmas of the Jade Emperor, commonly known as the Jade Emperor's Club. It is said that immortals in heaven and earth will celebrate grandly. The Jade Emperor personally descended to earth on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to inspect the situation of all parties. Reward good and punish evil according to the good and evil of all beings. On the afternoon of his birthday, the Jade Emperor returned to Lu 'an and Heaven.

At that time, there should be a grand celebration in the Taoist temple. On the birthday of the Jade Emperor, people will hold ceremonies to celebrate it. Firecrackers can be heard all the time from midnight to 4 am that day. On the ninth day of the first month, the temple held a fasting ceremony. Because celestial bodies follow the instructions of the French king, travel around the world, assist virtuous people with compassion, reward good and punish evil. The world will build this method to fast the heaven for the Buddha, recite scriptures and feed ten treasures, and protect celestial bodies and their followers.
