Spirits of the Nine Emperor Gods T HE skies suddenly start to open up the moment my bike banks left into Jalan Gangsa. Rueing my foolishness for not heeding my wife's sound counsel to bring along a rain coat, I hurriedly coax my trusty old Honda C70 to accelerate well beyond its usual mediocre speed. Soon enough, the red and yellow pennants lining the sides of Alor Star's Tow Boo Keong Temple come into view. I heave a sigh of relief. It will not be long before I reach the safety of the food stalls lining the road in front of the temple. Despite the heavy downpour, the temple grounds is a hive of activity as dozens of devotees and volunteers join hands to make last minute preparations to welcome the Nine Emperor Gods Festival which lasts for nine days, starting from tomorrow. It’s the first day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Apart from joining in the festivities, my wife and I always look forward to the savoury vegetarian fare sold here. Wh...

The rainy season became symbolic in the celebration as it accompanied the Nine Emperor of the Gods who believed to be through the sea lane and within nine days it would usually rain every day. The nine Emperors of the God who arrive on the ground will bring rain that can clear the land that is seen as a sacred symbol. The turtle-shaped pau became symbolic to commemorate the history of the Nine Emperor of God who arrived on earth to save the Ming Dynasty from Manchu during the war. The turtle-shaped pau is as symbolic to commemorate the giant turtle who saves nine Emperor Gods who are almost drowned in the sea for wanting to help the people deal with the Manchu faction during the Ming Dynasty wars. The Manchu emperor then captured the Nine Emperors of the Gods and shattered nine heads and placed them in the vase an...
