What is the legend of the God of Joy?

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a woman who worshipped the North Dipper God very devoutly and finally achieved her goal. When the North Dipper God asked her what she wanted, the woman covered her lips with her hand, smiled and did not answer. The God of the North Star was puzzled and mistakenly thought that she was praying for a beard, so he gave the woman a long beard. Because she looked happy when she smiled, she was named the Goddess of Joy. Because of her long beard, she was no longer visible to mortals. From then on, the God of Joy was responsible for celebrations but her form was not revealed. Therefore, the biggest characteristic of the God of Joy is that he has no specific image and no special temple, and is highly abstract. However, some later generations also regarded ancestor portraits or King Zhou of Shang as gods of happiness and worshipped them. The original God of Happiness was mysterious and invisible, yet he was here and there, appearing in different directions. Everything would be auspicious if it was done in the direction where the God of Happiness was. Among folk gods, the God of Joy is rarely seen in scriptures and his image is rarely seen in paintings.
People in the Song Dynasty used to call human portraits "God of Joy". Later, someone wrote "Plum Blossom God of Joy", calling the appearance of plum blossoms "God of Joy", which obviously has nothing to do with the God of Joy as a deity.
However, there have been different opinions on who the "God of Joy" is. But in summary, there are two main theories. One is to portray him as an ancient Chinese emperor. Some say that the God of Joy is King Zhou of Shang. This statement originated from "The Romance of Investiture of the Gods", in which Jiang Ziya named King Zhou of Shang as Tianxi Star. The Xishen Temple in Jingzhong Temple outside Chongwenmen in Beijing was once called "Tianxi Palace" during the reign of Emperor Guangxu.
