The God of Joy is the God of Good Luck, commonly known as the God of Happiness. Because people's wish is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and pursue happiness and joy, they invented a god of joy. According to Chinese folk legend, the God of Joy was originally a pious woman who worshipped the God of the North Dipper. When she became an immortal through Taoism, the God of the North Dipper asked her what she wanted. The woman pursed her lips with her hand and smiled without answering. The God of the North Dipper mistakenly thought that she was praying for a beard, so he gave her a long beard. Because she looked happy when she smiled, she was named the God of Joy. Because of the long beard, she was no longer visible to mortals. From then on, the God of Joy was responsible for celebrations, but her divine form was not revealed. Therefore, the biggest feature of the God of Joy is that he has no specific image and no special temple. He is highly abstract. However, later generations also regarded portraits of ancestors or King Zhou of Shang as the God of Joy and worshipped them. The worship of the God of Joy is common in various ritual activities, especially in weddings. What is the Song of the God of Happiness? The God of Joy is a deity in charge of joyous events. Welcoming the God of Joy not only has the meaning of joy and auspiciousness, but also can bring good health to the whole year. According to the song about the directions of the God of Happiness in traditional Feng Shui: "Jia is in Gen, Yi is in Gan, Bing is in Kun, Ding is in Li, and Wu is in Xun." We can get: Jia Si's day is in Gen, the God of Happiness is in the northeast; Yi Geng's day is in Gan, the God of Happiness is in the northwest; Bing Xin's day is in Kun, the God of Happiness is in the southwest; Ding Ren's day is in Li, the God of Happiness is in the south; Wu Gui's day is in Xun, the God of Happiness is in the southeast. Therefore, the direction of the lucky god in 2017, the Year of the Rooster, is due south. In cases of marriage or wedding, it is most auspicious for the newlyweds to face towards the south. While for travelling, migration, or construction, it is most auspicious if the direction of the lucky god is facing away from the south. For example, if you want to get pregnant with a baby Rooster in 2017, you might as well adjust your bed to due south to strive for a better pregnancy. For single men and women who are going on blind dates in 2017, they may choose a location or seat that is in the lucky direction of the god of fortune on that day, which will help increase the chances of a successful blind date. However, it should be noted that the direction of the God of Happiness should be kept tidy, clean and bright throughout the year, and should not be dark, dirty or messy.Through the above article and checking the lunar calendar, we can know that on the Chinese Valentine's Day, August 28, 2017, the God of Happiness is in the south!Summary: Through the above article, we know what day is the Chinese Valentine's Day this year, where is the position of the God of Happiness on the Chinese Valentine's Day in 2017, and other questions.
