Jing Zhe: Time to paipai White Tiger God again

[Apollo]

5 Mar 08- good day to pai pai White Tiger God

 

It has been a Chinese tradition that after the Lunar New Year, family and relative will gather to worship the Tiger God to seek for safety and ward off backstabbers or troublemakers for the year. This day is known as Jing Zhe, in Chinese. It normally falls on the 5th, 6th or 7th of March.

Jing Zhe means awakening the insect. It was believed that on this day, all insects are awakening from their hibernation when a loud band of thunder strikes the earth and soon after the insects will harm the crops and the hungry tigers will hurt lives and thus people start praying for safety and good harvest by offering to the Tiger God.

And today, whoever wants to ward off backstabber or troublemakers and invite mentors is a must to visit the temple to give offering to the Tiger God. A generous piece of raw pork, fresh duck eggs, greens beans, sesame seeds, joss stick, incense paper and offering set is required. One should rub a raw pork on the Tiger
