Why the people around the world must use the word "kow ong yah"(hokkien) and "kow wong yeh"(cantonese)??? That in chinese culture "yeh" or "yah is representing for the EMPEROR uncle or brother etc. So that to my opinion, instead of calling The Nine Emperor God ("Kew Ong yah"(hokkien)), we should call it "Kew Ong Tai Tay" or "Tai Tay Yeah" for hokkien.

Everything under this heading really belongs at Vegetarian Festival. I'm currently playing with that article in my sandbox, and for the nonce have copied the information there. Pawyilee ( talk) 17:43, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
If no one objects, in 9 days I'm going to cut Celebration in Thailand from this article and paste it to Vegetarian Festival as Celebration in Thailand of Nine Emperor Gods Festival. Pawyilee ( talk) 05:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

As just about everything in the article now is about the Vegetarian Festival, and we haven't found anyone competent to write a real Nine Emperor Gods Festival article, I say, yes, go ahead and merge 'em. But a Thai Chinese friend of mine in Yasothon says the Chinese Nine Emperor Gods Festival is not a vegetarian festival, the Chinese version of which is something else again. The Phuket affair seems to have been started by refugees from the breakup of the Heavenly Kingdom, which was based on a version of Christianity even stranger (and much worse in terms of lives lost) than that of the Mormons, with which it was a contemporary, and also a contemporary of the Bahai — perhaps there was a virus going around. The Phuket variety also includes playing with knives and sharp objects that smack of some Hindu cults I only dimly recall. Pawyilee ( talk) 18:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
what is shared on this page,to me,is largely Canonical Taoism with special reference to specific stars on the constelation and the honorific titles.
Ask the devotees,many of them know not of such 'formal' information.Their knowledge is more on the localised worship rites. It should be noted that the rites may vary depending on the locality.
Take the Penang and Peninsular Malaysia southern states for a comparison. The worship articles are largely yellow in colour in Penang, the joss sticks, candles, and cakes to be offered. The southern states however, use white candles and even put special emphasis on dressing in white when worshipping in the Nine Emperor Gods temple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sampuna ( talk • contribs) 06:45, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
