Chinese inside chanted. Weird Chi
neSe music, and the exciting shout
ing OF onloCkers added to the noise.
This tWenty-third day CT the
Bitter Neon is traditionally time
for appeasing the Gods, for honor
ing the spirits of ancestors, and for
settling debts.
Colony Hac Holiday
Along gaudy Grant avenue, with
its dragon embellished lamp posts
and its pagoda-topped business
structures, there was little activity.
The Chinese settled their accounts
of the year and paid their bills.
They dincd on roast pork.
In their homes, the Kitchen gods
that for year had watched acti-
yities of the households were dis
patched to heaven to report.
In the traditional manner, the
Chinese took care that the gods
would render good reports. Liquor
was poured in the mouths of some
paper idols, SO that they would COM
plete their seven days journey to
heaven in jovial moods. Sugar was
rubbed over the mouths of others,
that their words might be sweet.
Steaming rice was provided for
the spirits Of ancestors that might
come calling. Towels were provided
for the invisible visitors to wipe
their hands.
Seven days will pass before new
kitchen gcds are placed in bamboo
shrines to replace those dispatched
to heaven by setting them afire.
During that time there will be no
celestial check-up on household af-
fairs.
But the unseen spirits of ances-
tors will still be about, and the Chi
nese will be particularly careful of
their language and behavior.
