According to don't know which resources....
Kow Wong Yeh is a Chinese festival to celebrate the return from heaven to earth of the Nine Emperor spirits, who are worshiped as one deity known as Mazu, the Taoist goddess of the sea and queen of heaven who represents health, wealth and prosperity. The festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth moon in the Chinese lunar calendar. These nine deities are believed to dwell in the stars in heaven under the reign of Mazu.
On the eve of the ninth moon, temples of the deities hold a ceremony to invoke and welcome the nine emperors. Since the arrival of the gods are believed to be through the waterways, processions are held from temples to the sea-shore or river to symbolize this belief. Devotees dressed in traditional white, carrying incense and candles, await the arrival of their excellencies.
But since small i never care on such festival. Now growing big i realize that a lot that missed. Those traditional custom, those belief, feels myself like not deserve to name as a chinese. Dear went to witness the festival today. According to him tonight was to welcome the "TAI KOR" of the nine emperor god. ==" Weird weird stuff he telling me. But what ever it is i only remember one thing that KOW WONG YEH= TORTO PAU.... :P
