Travelog post for: Mandy Sheep

Today (the second day of February in lunar calendar) is the birthday of Tu Di Gong.
My host and her family also went to the shrine nearby to worship Tu Di Gong.

Here shows the sacrifice for worshipping Tu Di Gong.
Notice that there is a turtle (can be eat!) in the right side! XD I should show it to Cassiopeia!!


As I step inside the shrine...the atmosphere there is quite sacred.
I just can stand there quietly watching people telling their petitions.


This one shows some people there to ask Tu Di Gong for some little money (only NT$300). I felt quite strange as my host told me. She explained more : As some people got some problems in money affairs, some of them will turn to ask god for help. They first need to cast bamboo divination chips (That's what they do in the photo!) to see if the god is willing to lend them the so called "making-money fund". When they get the permission, they can use this little money on the place they need, and may get some improvement in thier financial affairs. In the next year, they need to return this money back, even give a little bit more to the shrine (god) if they think it works! This surprise me a lot! Very interesting!
