Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai is a unique Chinese religious culture. Don't make any mistake!
City | The Chenghuang Temple of Shanghai was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1424). | Visit the basic rituals of Taoism and Buddhism. Do not use Buddhist rituals to worship the Tao. Don't step on the threshold (the same as Buddhism and Taoism) to enter.The right side of Chenghuang Temple is not open, only the middle and left side, so you can enter the middle.
Then let's first look at the main hall (Fire Light Hall), light incense, incense burner, and the left and right halls as shown in the picture. The icon of Cihang Hall is incorrect. After entering the temple, like worshiping a god (Figure 3), there is a blessing paper in the hall (optional, willing to help people around you), and a coin exchange counter next to the drum.
There are elderly people enshrined on both sides of the city hall, with a walkway in the middle. There is a red signature box next to the Chenghuang Temple (Figure 13). One of the things is signed, and a gift can be solved for 2 dollars. There are many statues in Taoist temples. They don't need to be worshipped by anyone. You can worship the corresponding gods as needed. There are several people who are often worshipped: Tai Sui Temple: corresponding to the God of Destiny seeking Shunxing Yue Lao Hall: Yue Lao (marriage), Medicine King (health), Car God (road safety) Cihang Temple: Eye mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (governing the eye area), Cihang Temple (safety), Tianhou Niangniang (Haihe) God of Wealth: Wenchang Emperor (named Li Lu), Guan Sheng (peace), God of Wealth (wealth and prosperity) Wenchang Hall: Wenchang Emperor.
