Nine Emperor Gods Festival @ Leong Nam Temple

In a vibrant month of the year, Leong Nam Temple in Sengkang joyously observes The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, a nine-day Taoist celebration that kicks off on the eve of the ninth lunar month.

This festivity is especially prevalent in Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, particularly among the Peranakans rather than the entire Overseas Chinese community. The event is marked by a multitude of activities, including captivating dragon and lion dances, as well as the ceremonial rocking of the nine sedan chairs.

在一年中充满活力的一个月份,盛港的梁南庙欢欣鼎立地庆祝九皇大帝节,这是一个为期九天的道教庆典,始于农历九月的前夕。

这个庆典在东南亚国家尤其盛行,包括马来西亚、新加坡、印度尼西亚和泰国,尤其是在土生华人中,而非整个华裔社群。活动的亮点包括引人入胜的舞龙、舞狮,以及对九座轿椅进行庄重摇动的仪式。
