On this day, both commercial shops and ordinary families hold activities to worship the God of Wealth.Every family offers sacrifice to the God of Wealth welcomed on New Year's Eve. In fact, the crude prints purchased were burned. At noon on this day, people eat wontons, commonly known as "yuanbao soup". The sacrificial offerings were fish and mutton. The big businesses in old Beijing all held large-scale sacrificial activities on this day. The sacrifices had to be the "five major offerings", namely a whole pig, a whole sheep, a whole chicken, a whole duck, and a live red carp, etc., in the hope of getting rich this year. Beijing Temple of the God of Wealth: The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day for old Beijingers to worship the God of Wealth. On this day, people would rush to the God of Wealth’s temple to burn the “first stick of incense”. There are two temples of the God of Wealth in old Beijing. One is at Liuli Bridge outside Guang'anmen, called the "Wuxian God of Wealth Temple". A temple fair is held from the second to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month every year, so the second day becomes the day to worship the God of Wealth. But in fact, according to legend, the God of Wealth's birthday is the fifth day. In the past, pilgrims would wait outside the temple and at the Guang'an Gate in the middle of the night in order to get the first incense stick. After the incense burning is finished, you also have to "invite" some red velvet flowers with the words "Fu" and "Shou" written on them, gold-cut paper flowers, gold ingots, etc. from the Temple of the God of Wealth to take home. This means inviting "Fu" home. If one gets rich in the next year, one has to go to the temple again to fulfill a vow, return the paper gold ingots that were "invited" home last year to the temple, and buy double the amount of new paper gold ingots. The temple keeper will also get rich because of this. Because there are too many people coming to burn incense on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year, many people cannot enter, so they light incense at the temple gate and throw it into the temple. This poses a hidden danger to fire protection, so the temple uses large wooden barrels to hold water, ready to pour water to put out fires at any time. Whoever is splashed with water is believed to become rich in the coming year, because "water" brings wealth. The "Wuxian God of Wealth Temple" temple fair was discontinued in the 1950s. The temple was demolished when the overpass was built in 1987. Today, there are two ancient trees as the only remaining relics of the temple. Another temple of the God of Wealth in Beijing is the "Huangwa God of Wealth Temple", located on the east side of the south entrance of Beiluoguxiang. The temple was first built in the late Ming Dynasty. The God of Wealth is divided into civil and military gods, Zhao Gongming. In 2005, as part of the Gulou East Street style protection and environmental improvement project, non-cultural heritage buildings around the Temple of the God of Wealth were demolished, the main hall was exposed, and renovations were carried out. In addition to these two temples of the God of Wealth, Beijing also has a Zhurong Temple. Because fire represents wealth, some people also come here to pray for wealth on the second day of the Lunar New Year. What can’t you do on the second day of the first lunar month?It is taboo to bring an odd number of presents when returning to one’s parents’ home: On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is taboo for a daughter to bring an odd number of presents when returning to her parents’ home. As odd numbers are traditionally considered unlucky, the gifts a son-in-law brings back to his parents’ home must be in pairs.Avoid washing clothes: There is a water god in water, and the water god’s birthday is on the first and second day of the Chinese New Year. Therefore, you should not wash clothes on the second day. Avoid taking naps: Do not take naps during the day, otherwise you will be lazy throughout the year. The meaning is that during the Chinese New Year there are many guests visiting your home to pay New Year’s greetings, and taking a nap would be very disrespectful to others. Avoid dumping sewage, garbage, and sweeping the floor: Do not do sweeping and cleaning work during the New Year, as this will easily sweep away the wealth in the home. Avoid having your money taken out of your pocket by others: This means that your money will be taken away by others throughout the year. Avoid asking for debts from others: During the Chinese New Year, whether the person being asked to pay a debt or the person asking others to pay a debt will be unlucky for the whole year, so avoid asking for debts from others.
