粉嶺圍的彭氏族人舉行太平清醮,由2020年12月28日至2021年1月2日。於村內外搭建10多個傳統花牌。

粉嶺圍上一屆的太平清醮為2010年,每十年一屆。主要目的是祈福消災、濟陰利陽,向神明禮拜祈福,超幽度冥法事,其中,最盛大的是祭大幽以及化大士王。

今年因新冠疫情,不似以往人山人海,神功戲及村民盤菜宴被迫取消,但慶典仍然十分熱鬧。

The Pang clan at Fanling Wai (walled village) held a Tai Ping Ching Chiu, an extravagant spiritual purification festival, from December 28, 2020 to January 2, 2021. More than 10 Chinese traditional flower billboards were erected inside and outside the village.

The last Tai Ping Ching Chiu at Fanling Wai was held in 2010 and it is held every 10 years. The main purpose is to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, to benefit the Yin and Yang, to pray to the gods, and to transcend the underworld. Among them, the grand ceremonies are to make offerings to and later burn the Ghost King.

This year, due to the pandemic, the crowd was less, unlike the past. The Chinese opera and the villagers’ “pun choi” (feasting food in a basin) banquet were canceled, but the celebrations were still very well attended.
