Opening time of Nanhai Guanyin in 2023
The tradition of "Guanyin Kaiguang Day" has been going on in Guangdong for thousands of years. On this day, many residents of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will come to the statue of Guanyin to pray for blessings, in order to look forward to the new year's rolling financial resources and wealth.
The 26th day of the first lunar month is the annual opening day of Guanyin. According to legend, during the practice of Guanyin, there were 500 dharma protectors who turned into adult monks to beg for food in Kannonji in order to assess the practice achievements of Master Guanyin.
When Guanyin saw a monk asking for help, he opened a warehouse to let the monk enjoy all kinds of exquisite vegetarian dishes. 500 monks filled their stomachs, and the rest of the food was left to the good believers who came to visit. Since then, the 26th day of the first month of the lunar calendar has been designated as the "Guanyin Open Library" day. On this day every year, thousands of believers in Qian Qian gather in Kannonji to pray and borrow the library, hoping to prosper after borrowing money.
