DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of the Jade Emperor.

由来

在华人民间神话传说和小说中，玉皇大帝被视为天界的最高主宰，掌控天地万物生长与衰亡。
根据民间传说，农历正月初九当天，福建沿海地区有一年遭海盗掠夺，人民因躲入甘蔗林而幸免于难。因此，当地的百姓便在农历正月初九用甘蔗来祭拜天公，表达对天公的感谢。
19 世纪时期，随着福建沿海地区的先民南迁到新加坡，他们的传统文化习俗也一同南来，而其中也包括了对天公的信奉以及拜天公的仪式。
至今，许多新加坡福建人仍然非常注重正月初九的拜天公仪式，许多庙宇每年也都会举行大规模的祭祀活动。

ETYMOLOGY

In Chinese mythology and literature, the Jade Emperor is regarded as the supreme ruler of heaven, controlling the life and death of all living things.
According to folklore, one year on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the coastal areas of Fujian were plundered by pirates and the residents survived by hiding in sugarcane plantations. Hence, the locals use sugarcane to worship the Jade Emperor on that day every year to express their gratitude.
In the 19th century, Chinese immigrants who travelled south from the coastal areas to Singapore brought with them their traditional culture and customs, including their faith in and worship rituals for the Jade Emperor.
Till today, many Hokkiens in Singapore continue to attach great importance to the worship ceremony on the ninth day of the first lunar month, with many temples holding large-scale worship activities every year.
