![Pai Ti Kong is celebrated on the 8th day of the first month of Lunar calendar. It is a festival of particular significant to Hokkien people (subgroup of Chinese) because it is the birthday of the Jade Emperor who protected the Hokkien people from being massacred.
On this night, the Hokkiens set up a table draped in a red tablecloth with variety of food which are to serve to the Jade Emperor. Some of the most popular items they must have are sweet cakes red tortoise buns, prosperity cakes and bright pink miniature pagodas. Stickers with Chinese characters like “prosperity” and “happiness” were sticked on the fruits and food to resemble good wealth, luck, health for the family in the whole year.
Also particularly relevant are the piles of gold paper folded into the old-style shape of money. These papers are hung from the sugarcanes before being burnt as a thanksgiving offering to the Thien Kong. After these gold papers are set ablaze, the family members then took the stalks of sugarcane from the altars nd threw them into the flames. variedad de alimentos son para servir al emperador de jade en el octavo día del año nuevo chino lunar de acuerdo a la creencia china, incluyendo algunos artículos populares como pasteles dulces, pasteles de prosperidad, piñas, naranjas, melocotones y v](https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1131194237/es/foto/variedad-de-alimentos-son-para-servir-al-emperador-de-jade-en-el-octavo-d%C3%ADa-del-a%C3%B1o-nuevo.jpg?b=1&s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=A4UAv0unNti-x1O0FtQA7JZYocLmD2MeJcDuXGQG2bA=)
