The fifth day of the lunar year is the day to welcome the God of Wealth. No matter whether it is a big temple or a small temple, it is particularly lively today. People come from all directions to the temple to burn incense, just to welcome the God of Wealth and bless them with good fortune for the year.Cultural connotations of welcoming the God of Wealth The custom of welcoming the God of Wealth was already popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In order to gain the favor of the God of Wealth in the coming year, people placed offerings to welcome the God of Wealth during the Spring Festival. According to folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, and every family prepares a banquet to celebrate the birthday of the God of Wealth. Especially when businesses open for business, firecrackers are set off early in the morning to welcome the God of Wealth. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the God of Wealth is welcomed and Zhao Xuantan is the most respected. Many shops and houses enshrine his woodblock-printed statue: Xuantan has a face like the bottom of a pot, holds a steel whip in his hand, rides a black tiger, and looks extremely majestic. China has been an agricultural society for a long time and the pursuit of wealth is relatively weak. Therefore, the concept of the God of Wealth has been unclear for a long time, and the responsibility of wealth has been given to many gods, or even to all gods. Around the Song Dynasty or earlier, the custom of praying for a horse for fortune and wealth appeared in the New Year's celebration. Among the Chinese gods created by the Chinese, the God of Wealth, commonly known as the God of Wealth Bodhisattva, is in charge of all the money in the world. On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, when the roosters crowed, the sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky. People who get up at dawn bow to each other and say auspicious words such as "good luck" and "congratulations on making a fortune". In the old silver and money industry, the activities of welcoming the God of Wealth were even more grand. Every year on the fourth night of the first lunar month, there would be a ceremony to welcome the God of Wealth: all the store staff had to pay homage to the image of the God of Wealth posted in the middle hall and pray for good fortune in the new year. Shops only open for business on the fifth day of the first lunar month after the God of Wealth is welcomed back, which is called the opening ceremony. In this way, there are two times to welcome the God of Wealth: the second and fifth day of the first lunar month. What are the requirements for the placement of the God of Wealth?1. The God of Wealth is similar to the Four-Faced Buddha and is usually placed outside the house, such as on the rooftop, in the garden, outside the window, etc. It is meant to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth. Remember not to place the God of Wealth in the house, let alone place it side by side with Guanyin, Guandi, or the main line, otherwise it will lead to danger.2. The God of Wealth is similar to Guan Gong and must be placed outside the gate. He can attract wealth and protect the residents’ safety and financial resources. 3. The God of Wealth is usually very close to the door, about two inches from the door. These gods of wealth need to face their own houses in order to realize the rolling wealth. In addition, Wen Caishen can also be worshipped alone. He can be worshipped together with the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness and the God of Wealth. However, the God of Wealth must be placed in an auspicious position to prevent danger. Taboos on placing the God of Wealth 1. You cannot face the toilet; you cannot face the door; you cannot face the dining table. 2. The God of Wealth cannot be placed horizontally with the ancestors. Some people place the ancestors and the God of Wealth together for worship, which is actually not advisable. It is desirable to rank the ancestors below the God of Wealth. |
