喊标
喊标[ han biao ]活动
农历七月，随处[ sui chu ]可见的除了人们焚烧冥纸，歌台之外，最引人注目[ yin ren zhu mu ]的就是喊标活动了。喊标呢是在所有的祭拜仪式结束后中元宴席[ yan xi ]吃到一半的时候进行的。主办单位呢会尽量的找一些肯义务[ yi wu ]主持喊标活动的艺人来做司仪[ si yi ]。主要是为了做善事。用来喊标的福物多数是民间流传有好彩头的东西，拿去镀[ du ]成金色。最常见非黄梨模数[ mo shu ]了。福物原本是没有什么价值的。而投标者是为了一个好彩头，把标回来的福物白在家里就等于把好彩头带回家。表到的钱呢则会捐给福利基金[ fu li ji jin ]或机构[ ji gou ]。
Other than offerings and Getai, the other most popular thing you might see is “ auctioning ”. This programme will start after all the offerings are burnt for the ghosts. Organizers will try their best to find voluntarily host-to-host the auction for the sole purpose of doing charity acts. The things use for auction is usually things that are quite cheap but brings good luck to people. The most common auspicious ornament is the pineapple as in hokkien is “ wang lai ” meaning that prosperity coming towards your way.
The way to make them look m ore auspicious is to coat them with gold paint. By bringing home the things that has been auction, it is equivalent to bringing good luck home. The money that has been forked out by the people will be donated to charity organization.
