Why do you have a birthday when the beads are in full bloom?

Frankly speaking, it is neither a Buddhist religious ceremony nor a Taoist religious ceremony, nor even a folk custom. To put it bluntly, it is a scam. Let's talk about it first. The so-called opening ceremony originally refers to the last process of carving Buddha statues in Buddhist temples, that is, carving eyes for Buddha statues. In ancient Chinese, light and eyes were synonymous, so the last process was called "opening the light". There is also the word "foresight", which is obvious proof. Since the opening ceremony marks the completion of the Buddha statue, congratulations on the opening ceremony of the Buddha statue represent the completion ceremony as time goes by. Folk watching the opening ceremony of the Buddha statue in the temple is more grand. I didn't know it was just a completion ceremony. Good people spread the wrong story.
