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".What is the God of Wealth's position?There are two so-called God of Wealth positions. One is the wealth position that remains unchanged throughout the year, which is determined by the flying stars of the eight fortunes of the year. It is the key to the wealth for the whole year. If it is well arranged, the wealth will be smooth for the whole year; if it is improperly arranged, the wealth of the whole house will be greatly affected, and even financial losses will occur. The other is the daily position of the God of Wealth that we are talking about today. It is different every day. On important days such as company opening, store opening, and placement of the God of Wealth, it is necessary to check the position of the God of Wealth on that day in order to invite back the God of Wealth and bring wealth and fortune.How to calculate daily wealthOn the day when the Heavenly Stem is Jia, the wealth position is in the northeast. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Yi, the wealth position is in the east. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Bing, the wealth position is in the southeast. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Ding, the wealth position is in the south. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Wu, the wealth position is in the southeast. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Ji, the wealth position is in the south. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Geng, the wealth position is in the southwest. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Xin, the wealth position is in the west. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Ren, the wealth position is in the northwest. On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Gui, the wealth position is in the north.Combining the above almanac and the algorithm for finding the God of Wealth, we can know that the auspicious position of the God of Wealth on the Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 2018 is due north! When is the Ghost Festival in 2018?The 2018 Ghost Festival falls on Saturday, August 25, 2018, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month.The Zhongyuan Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, Giving to Orphans, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is called the Ullambana Festival in Buddhism. Along with New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, it is China's traditional festival for ancestor worship, and is also a traditional cultural festival popular in countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. There is a custom of releasing river lanterns and burning paper ingots during the Ghost Festival. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival, which is the Lantern Festival and has existed since ancient times; the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is called the Zhongyuan Festival, which is used to worship ancestors; the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month is called the Xiayuan Festival, which is used to eat cold food and commemorate the wise. The Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month in some areas. The Zhongyuan Festival originally fell in the beginning of autumn, when some crops had matured. People would worship their ancestors according to custom, offering sacrifices such as new rice to report the harvest to their ancestors. Therefore, every Ghost Festival, every family worships their ancestors and performs offerings according to the rituals. On July 15th, people visit tombs and worship their ancestors. Overseas Chinese will send small amounts of money during the four festivals: Qingming, Zhongyuan, Winter Solstice and New Year's Day. Otherwise, they will be regarded as disrespectful to their ancestors, unfilial to their elders, irresponsible to their wives and good-for-nothings. Legend has it that on the day of the Ghost Festival, all ghosts will be released from the underworld, and people will generally hold activities to worship ghosts. Every family that has a new death must visit the new grave, and usually offer sacrifices to the wandering ghosts in the local area, making it one of the largest sacrificial festivals among the Chinese people. |
