Should we welcome the toilet goddess Zi Gu on the fifteenth day of the lunar year in 2021?

Yes, there is also a saying about welcoming the toilet goddess Zi Gu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the "Shangyuan Festival". It was called Shangyuan in ancient times, and the night was called Xiao, so it was named Yuanxiao. The most lively event during the Chinese New Year is the Lantern Festival, and the “lively” part is definitely the highlight.
Sichuan folklore expert Liu Xiaochang introduced that in old Chengdu, the East Street and the gate of Daci Temple were bustling with dragon and lion dances, car lights dances, and stilt walking. In fact, the most eye-catching custom is not the colorful lanterns hanging on the streets, but the hidden scenery of the time among the people: weavers ask the "Cat God" to scare away mice; passers-by guess riddles and fight monsters; mothers bring their daughters to pray for good luck and offer sacrifices to Zi Gu.

Who is Zi Gu?

Zi Gu, also known as Zi Gu, Ce Gu, Mao Gu, Keng Gu, Keng San Guniang, etc. People in the world said that he could predict the future and often held sacrifices at home and predicted various things.
Zi Gu, according to legend, lived in the Tang Dynasty. Her surname was He and her given name was Mei, and she was from Shandong. She was outstanding in talent and beauty. She first married an actor, and was later noticed by Li Jing, the governor of Shouyang. She killed his husband and took him as her concubine. Li Jing's first wife became jealous of her, and plotted to kill He Mei in the toilet on the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He Mei's wronged ghost lingered and often appeared vaguely, crying and complaining about her grievances. Eventually, the Heavenly Court learned about it and the Emperor of Heaven took pity on her, and made her the toilet god.
Another story is that Zi Gu is Concubine Qi, the concubine of Liu Bang. She was chopped off her hands and feet, shaved off her hair, gouged out her eyes, deafened her ears, and force-fed a mute drug by Empress Lu. She was then thrown into the toilet for the ministers to see as a "human pig". People felt very sympathetic for her and commemorated her as a deity. There is also a saying that the three goddesses in the pit refer to the three girls, the three sisters of the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, namely Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Bixiao, who were canonized as gods by Jiang Ziya. This statement comes from the Ming Dynasty novel "Fengshen Yanyi".
