Xiayuan is traditionally associated with the fifteenth day of the tenth Chinese calendar month.
What the reference establishes#
The cultural report discusses Xiayuan and its Daoist associations. Accounts of a water deity relieving misfortune describe religious belief, not a demonstrated supernatural outcome.
Practical questions#
Ask a particular temple or community whether a current observance is open to visitors. Check the actual year and arrangements. Do not treat a general account as an instruction to burn offerings or as a current venue notice.
Scope#
The planning questions are editorial suggestions. This introduction does not establish a current event programme or uniform participation.
