Customs of the fifth day of the first lunar month: Welcoming the God of Wealth

People in the south welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. According to folklore, the God of Wealth is the God of Five Roads. The so-called five roads refer to east, west, south, north and center, meaning that you can make money by going out of any of the five roads. Gu Lu of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Qing Jia Lu": "The fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Road. Golden gongs and firecrackers, sacrificial animals and wine are all on display. In order to win a fortune, people must get up early to welcome him, which is called "receiving the God of Road." He also said: "Today's God of Road is the wandering god among the Five Sacrifices. The so-called five directions are east, west, south, north and center." In Shanghai, there is a custom of "grabbing the God of Road" during the old year. At midnight on the fourth day of the first lunar month, prepare sacrificial animals, cakes, fruits, incense and candles, ring gongs and drums, burn incense and worship, and worship the God of Wealth respectfully. It is commonly believed that the fifth day is the birthday of the God of Wealth. In order to compete for profits, people celebrate him on the fourth day, which is called "抢路头", also known as "迎财神" and "祭财神". The five sacrifices are welcoming the household god, the kitchen god, the earth god, the door god and the travel god. The so-called "Lu Tou" refers to the god among the five sacrifices. When welcoming the God of Wealth, one must offer a sheep's head and a carp. Offering a sheep's head means "good luck", while offering a carp means that "fish" and "surplus" are homophones, which is auspicious. People firmly believe that as long as they can get the appearance of the God of Wealth, they will become rich. Therefore, every Chinese New Year, people open the doors and windows, burn incense, set off firecrackers, and light fireworks at 00:00 on the fifth day of the first lunar month (after 24:00 on the fourth day of the first lunar month) to welcome the God of Wealth. After receiving the God of Wealth, everyone has to have a road-opening wine feast, which often lasts until dawn. Everyone is full of hope of getting rich, hoping that the God of Wealth can bring gold, silver and treasures to their homes and make them rich in the new year.
