Three or four hours long, the celestial banquet was held according to ancient rites, with seats arranged in the open air and representatives from temples in all localities toasting each other until merry. It was truly a coming together of gods and men, piety and gaiety.
神仙盛會，古禮莊嚴，宴長四、五小時；這時候，廟外的露天宴席，則有各角頭（地方）廟代表、四方香客，杯觥交錯、酒酣耳熱，正是天上、人間，齊樂融融。
