外土地 Wai Tudi

 

　　「外土地」是對宮內石雕土地公的別稱，本宮主祠的福德正神神尊曾被稱為「內土地」。外土地右手持杖，左手握元寶，意在護祐田野收成豐碩。

　　"Wai Tudi (Outer Land)" is another name for the stone carving Tudigong in the temple. The deity of Fukuzhengjin (Land God) in the main shrine of this temple was once called "Nei Tudi (Inner Land). Wai Tudi, he holds a staff in his right hand and an ingot in his left hand, which is intended to protect the fields and harvests.

　　外土地原處之五福宮位於今萬板路往台北方向的道路上，過812號門口近818巷口，原廟身背向環河路。因萬板橋興建拆除廟體，地方人士便將外土地神尊及五福宮神桌迎至本宮安座。

　　The Wufu Temple, the original place of Wai Tudi, is located on the road from Wanban Road to Taipe, past the exit of No. 812 and close to the entrance of Lane 818. The original temple body faces Huanhe Road. Due to the construction and demolition of the temple body at Wanban Bridge, local people welcomed the gods of Wai Tudi and the god table of the Wufu Palace to this temple to be seated.

　　台灣部份務農地區，會於中秋節早上在田頭祭拜土地公，並插上竹子做為「土地公拐杖」。竹子上方故意留下竹葉，象徵稻米豐收，上面並綁上土地公金和四方金，直到稻米收成才取下。

　　In some farming areas in Taiwan, on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, at the entrance of the fields, they will worship the Tudigong and stick bamboos as "Tudigong's crutches". Bamboo leaves are deliberately left above the bamboo, symbolizing a good harvest of rice, and two kinds of joss paper, Tudigong gold and the four directions gold are tied to it, which will not be removed until the rice is harvested.
