Recently, the end of the year of the company's business. Today (District 7, Agricultural Calendar December 16) is also the traditional customary "tail teeth". People worship the landlord and the foundation master, and eat food such as crumbled bread and glutinous rice to seek wealth. However, please note that there are four kinds of foods not on the table to avoid disrespect to the gods.
"The head of the teeth has no worship for a winter, and the tail of the teeth has no worship for a worldly person"In the beliefs of the people of Taiwan, the second day of the second month of the farming calendar is the birthday of the "Ti Di Gong" God's blessing and righteous god, called "Ti Di Gong". No. 2 and No. 16 of each month also worship the Tu Di Gong. The farming calendar December 16 is the last day to worship Tudigong every year, called "tail teeth" to thank Tudigong for his blessing. There is also a saying that "the head is not worshipped for a winter, and the tail is not worshipped for a lifetime." People believe that the landlord can bless the prosperity of business, so many business-related and business-related people will worship the "tail teeth".
According to the information from the Taiwan Encyclopedia of the Ministry of Culture, the "tail teeth" worship altar is placed in front of the statues, talismans or gods of the land, and is decorated with cooked food and snacks for worship. The foods for tail teeth are sautum and crust. The sautum is made of bean sprouts, sautum, dried beans, tiger moss, peanut powder, egg skin and other ingredients to bring about the auspicious meaning of enriching the family. The shape of the crepe bag looks like a money bag, with three layers of meat, sauerkraut, peanut powder and other ingredients inside, which is also a symbol of money. Although glutinous rice and glutinous rice dumplings are delicious foods, nutritionists remind that glutinous rice dumplings that feel refreshed tastes should be kept warm because they contain peanut powder, powdered sugar and egg paste. However, they contain a lot of vegetables and can eat more nutrients. Most of the pork buns are fat and fat, and patients with chronic diseases should pay more attention to eating them. Eating too much may make blood sugar and triglycerides super standard.
In the customary way, in addition to worshiping the Tudi Gong, the "tail teeth" also worship the foundation master. The altar table is also located at the door, or at the back door or kitchen. The preparation of the goods is simple, and the "five flavor bowls" are mainly used, that is, daily meals are used for worship.
In addition, "tooth making" has industry taboos, because tooth making is a prayer for business excitement, so it is not suitable for teething in industries such as doctors, drug sales, pharmacies and coffin shops.
4 fruits should not be used on the altar tableThere is also a very important point to note that in the custom of worship, four fruits, such as bale, tomato, plum, and kale, cannot be used on the altar table, and will be regarded as disrespectful to the gods. But from a healthy perspective, the seeds of multiseed fruit are not easy to digest and will be excreted with excrement, so it is not suitable to be used as a product for the gods to eat.
