Today is the auspicious day for the God of Wealth, one day after the Lantern Festival! The various festivals in the first month of the lunar calendar are coming right after the Spring Festival. Following the 2020 first month special topic of Shuimoxiansheng.com, let’s count how many important traditional festivals and customs there are in this month.Will we welcome the God of Wealth on the 16th day of the first lunar month in 2020?Welcoming the God of Wealth is an ancient traditional festival custom among the Chinese people.According to Chinese folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so after the first day of the new year, the next most important activity is to welcome the God of Wealth. On the night before the God of Wealth's birthday, every family prepares a banquet to celebrate the God of Wealth's birthday. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, all shops open for business, and gongs, firecrackers, sacrificial animals and wine are set out early in the morning to welcome the God of Wealth. In Qing Dynasty Gu Tieqing's "Qing Jia Lu", a bamboo poem by Cai Yun was quoted, which described the situation of Suzhou people welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month: "Seek wealth on the fifth day, and fulfill a year's wish at once; beware that other places welcome the God of Wealth early, so you have to hurry along the way the night before." "Baolutou" means "welcoming the God of Wealth". Merchants who believe in Guan Yu, the Holy Lord, will offer sacrifices and wine to him, set off firecrackers, burn gold paper in worship, and pray to him for good fortune and prosperity for the year. Therefore, there is no need to welcome the God of Wealth on the 16th day of the first lunar month in 2020, because the God of Wealth has already been welcomed on the evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month and the early morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month.

A brief description of the God of WealthIn Chinese folk legends, the God of Wealth is the deity in charge of financial resources. He can be divided into two main categories: one is the Taoist title, and the other is the Chinese folk belief. Taoism conferred him the title of Heavenly Official and Supreme God, while Chinese folk beliefs regarded him as Heavenly Official and Celestial Immortal. The Taoists do not bestow titles on people as the God of Wealth, but rather confer titles on gods based on their official positions. There are also gods of wealth in Chinese Mahayana Buddhism: Vaisravana of the North and Sudhana.In modern times, in order to cater to everyone’s psychological needs, online God of Wealth and electronic God of Wealth have also been introduced. The five main gods of wealth worshipped in China are: the Zhongbin God of Wealth: Wang Hai (center), the Wen God of Wealth: Bigan (east), Fan Li (south), and the Wu God of Wealth: Guan Gong (west), Zhao Gongming (north). There are four other gods of wealth: Duanmu Ci (southwest), Li Guizu (northeast), Guan Zhong (southeast), and Bai Gui (northwest). The above was once divided by Taoism into the God of Wealth lineup of "four directions and one center".
