Let \((a;q)_n\) be the \(q\)-shifted factorial and \(\Phi_n(q)\) be the \(n\)-th cyclotomic polynomial. In this paper, the authors generalize the result of \textit{C.-Y. Gu} and \textit{V. J. W. Guo} [Period. Math. Hung. 82, No. 1, 82--86 (2021; Zbl 1499.11006)] and as well as the result of \textit{V. J. W. Guo} and \textit{J. Zeng} [Adv. Appl. Math. 45, No. 3, 303--316 (2010; Zbl 1231.11020)] on the combinatorial \(q\)-congruence. In particular, it has been proven \[\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{(q^{2d+1};q^2)_k}{(q;q)_k}\,q^k\equiv(-1)^{\frac{n-1}2+d}q^{\frac{n^2-(2d+1)^2}4}\quad({\text{mod}}\ \Phi_n(q))\] where \(d\) is an integer and \(n\) is a positive odd integer with \(n>2\vert d\vert -1\). The above mentioned results of Gu and Guo, Guo and Zeng are just the special cases by \(d=0,-1,1\).
