Hokkiens prepare to celebrate Jade Emperor’s birthday with more pomp


A shop owner preparing prayer items for her customers as offerings for the Jade Emperor’s birthday.

LEGEND has it that once upon a time, a group of Hokkiens in China risked being hunted and killled by the Mongols during the Song Dynasty between 960 and 1279.

They rushed to hide inside a sugarcane plantation, praying to be saved. The fearsome Mongols could not find them and eventually, gave up and left.
