Yes, the God of Wealth in Shang Dynasty, but Bigan was a national god, and the real God of Wealth was Zhao Gongming.
Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde became door gods because of history. Please refer to the following information.
Guan Yu didn't take away the titles of Gatekeeper and God of Wealth, because Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde were still authentic traditional Gatekeepers, and Guan Yu was also included in the ranks of Gatekeepers, because everyone liked to regard ancient loyal people as gatekeepers.
Guan Yu was regarded as the God of Wealth because loyalty and righteousness were offered by businessmen as protectors and became the God of Wealth over time.
After the country went to war with God, it left Mo Yi (now the north of Weihui City). Born in Yin (BC 1092), the seventh festival of Emperor Yi Bingzi died in BC 1029. He is the son of Tai Ding, a noble in Shang Dynasty, and his name is Gan. Bigan has been smart and studious since he was a child. At the age of 20, he assisted Di Yi as a high surname and was assisted by Di Xin. After more than 40 years in politics, he advocated tax relief and corvee, encouraged the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, advocated smelting and casting, and enriched Qiang Bing. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Di Xin's fornication continued, and Bi Gan said, "I have to fight to death." This is a strong warning. He said angrily, "I heard that saints have seven minds." Cut open the head and look at its heart. Mrs. Bigan's wife, Gui, just got pregnant in March and was afraid of a catastrophe. She escaped and gave birth to a boy named Quan (Lin's ancestor) in Changlin Stone Room. Bigan is the ancestor of Lin. Now, Lin's descendants have made extraordinary achievements in various fields.
Later, Zhou Wuwang was named Biganling, which is the national god. Give future generations a surname of Lin; Wei Xiaowen Emperor Tuoba Li Hong Temple; Emperor Taizong issued letters conferring the titles of "Loyal and Liegong" and "Taishi"; For the genealogy of Lin, for the statue of Bi Gan, for the poetry of Qing Dynasty, Xuanzong of Qing Dynasty rebuilt the main hall of Bi Gan Temple.
Historical records? "Yin Benji" contains: At the end of Yin Shang Dynasty, many governors betrayed Zhou and surrendered to Xibo. Xibo's power became stronger, so he gradually lost his power. The prince is more promiscuous than dry persuasion and refuses to listen. I tried to protest many times, but I didn't listen. I consulted with a surname and Shao Shi, and then fled Yinzhou. Bigan said, "If you want to be a courtier, you have to fight to the death." I tried my best to persuade. He was furious and said, "I heard that saints have seven holes in their hearts." So he cut open Beagan's chest and cut out his heart to watch.

The god of wealth is one of the common gods in Taoism and also a folk god in China. The world yearns for a happy and prosperous life, and whether this pursuit is realized or not is often related to the amount of wealth owned by individuals. Therefore, many people sincerely worship the God of Wealth and expect the God of Wealth to send money. The belief in the god of wealth appeared in the Song Dynasty, and then gradually became popular, which has a broad belief base among the people. "People die for wealth, birds die for food", and it is human nature to pray for wealth. "The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit", "There is a field with a thousand years to come, and we must think of Jinshan" is the practice of laymen; "A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely" is the principle of Confucianism. Although there are different opinions, they all reflect people's pursuit and worship of money for thousands of years, so that wealth culture has emerged. The core of this culture is the "God of Wealth", whose main purpose is to educate people to take money wisely and encourage people to be charitable.
The biggest feature of folk belief in the God of Wealth is that the God of Wealth is not just a "person", but a group, which is a collection of gods with very different sources, including Zhao Gongming, a god who specializes in human wealth, Bigan, Zhou Wang's uncle, Tao Zhugong Fan Li, who is good at making money, and Guan Yu, who is loyal and shameless. Bigen is one of the earliest prototypes of the God of Wealth. Because of his carelessness, it is also the expectation of equality and justice in the world.
Every day, the god of wealth carries people's good hopes of getting rich, and entrusts people's wishes of prosperity, prosperity and prosperity, which has become the common belief of all walks of life. As a pair of couplets on the Temple of Wealth wrote: "If you accumulate jade and hide pearls, you will be happy; Heart ploughing and pen weaving, cold Confucianism can also recommend incense. " In the genealogy of Taoist immortals in China, the God of Wealth is undoubtedly one of the most popular gods.
The inside story of Guan Yu, the warrior.
Guan Yu, an insider of Guan Yu, a warrior, was the highest title when he was alive. After his death, he was crowned king and emperor, and finally he was named "Guan" to patrol the three realms of heaven, earth and hell, commanding Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. What is the real image of Guan Yu? From the reflection, we know that Guan Yu's first emerging play, Warm Wine Chops Hua Xiong, in which Sun Jian really chopped Hua Xiong. According to historical records, Guan Yu won not because of his wisdom, but because of his luck. Due to the continuous autumn rain, Cao Cao was forced to withdraw from Fancheng. As for the story of riding a thousand miles alone, it is even more puzzling. At that time, it was only 500 miles from Xuchang across the Yellow River to Jizhou. But in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu chose a strange curve and walked two thousand miles to Jizhou. Chen Shou evaluated Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou in the History of the Three Kingdoms, and he went to Maicheng "with pride and short defeat". The real Guan Yu is just a martial artist who is not outstanding politically and militarily. History books call him "arrogant and overbearing", so how did he earn the title of saint later? This is related to the "Duangong Dance" that has been circulating in Jingzhou for many years. People dance this dance to worship the dead, believing that people who die unjustly will not ascend to heaven, but will become ghosts to avenge themselves on earth. Guan Yu's death has a strong tragic color. It happened that Monroe and Cao Cao died soon after. People think that Guan Yu's spectre has come for revenge. As a result, Guan Yu was worshipped as a spectre in Jingzhou for 300 years. Three hundred years later, in the Sui Dynasty, a wise master came here to spread Buddhism. Because Buddhism is a foreign thing, the icons in Buddhism have strong foreign characteristics and are difficult to be accepted by local people. At this time, Guan Yu appeared. Legend has it that the wise master wants to build a temple in Yuquan Mountain, but there are springs on the top of the mountain and a bottomless pit under the water, so it is impossible to build a temple. Therefore, Master Ming meditates and practices here every day. One day Guan Yu fell from the sky and shouted, "Give me your head, give me your head." The wise master said to him, "When is revenge? Who did you ask for the head of six generals who had gone through five customs on that day? " Guan Yu stopped to listen to the words of the wise master, and then suddenly realized that he took people to Yuquan Mountain and built a temple in seven days. From then on, Guan Yu changed the image of a spectre and became the protector of Buddhism. Two hundred years later, in the Tang Dynasty, Confucian scholars believed that Guan Yu's "loyalty, righteousness and courage" conformed to Confucianism, so they stuffed a copy of Chunqiu in Guan Yu's hand. Since then, Guan has changed from a military general to a Confucian general. The first warrior in China was Taigong Lv Wang, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu all went to the temple to accompany the sacrifice. In the early Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin insisted that Liu Bei, who was of royal blood, was incompatible with the royal power, and admired Cao Cao's orthodox identity, because he was a civilian and became an emperor. Guan, Zhang and Zhou were expelled from Wusheng Temple. Guan Yu went from the upper class to the folk and entered the story of a storyteller. Because Liu, Guan and Zhang were storytellers from poor families, Taoyuan Sanjieyi was the most ideal interpersonal relationship in the society at that time. Liu Bei was sympathized by storytellers and was portrayed as an ideal image, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became heroes who upheld justice. One hundred years later, Guan Yu's hometown, the salt lake in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, somehow stopped producing salt. At that time, salt lake revenue accounted for one-sixth of Song Ting's tax revenue, and Song Huizong was worried about it. Huizong believes in Taoism. At this time, there were many schools of Taoism, and each school crowded out each other. Zhang of Longhushan is one of the most valued people. He volunteered to go to Shaanxi to help the emperor solve the problem. But a few years later, the salt lake still does not produce salt. At this time, Zhang Tianshi thought of the war between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chiyou, which became a salt pond after Chiyou's death. It must be Chiyou now. So he asked Hui Zong to invite Guan Yu, a local fairy, to fight against Chiyou. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, surnamed Zhao, was the ancestor of Zhao and Song Dynasties, so the battle with Chiyou was not only related to finance, but also to the kingship of Zhao and Song Dynasties. Hui Zong named him Guan Yu, the king who worshiped Ningzhen, and ordered him to attack Chiyou. Soon after, the salt lake resumed salt production, and Guan Yu officially entered the Tao. Since then, the Northern Song Dynasty has been at war with Liao and Jin, and Guan Yu, as the God of War who inspired the soldiers, was named Yong 'an King. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms and Tang Poetry, Guan Gong's weapon should be a sword. Why did it later become a dragon crescent moon blade? It turned out that there were two soldiers behind Guan Yu in the portrait of an nunnery in the Song Dynasty, one holding a "Guan" flag and the other holding a moon-shielding knife. According to the Song Dynasty's "Wu Jing Zong Yao", the moon-shielding knife is not used to kill fields, but a weapon representing bravery in sacrificial ceremonies. Guan Hanqing of Yuan Dynasty was the first person to give this broadsword to Guan Gong. Because the Yuan government looked down on Han intellectuals and forbade southerners to practice martial arts and worship Buddha, Han literati like Guan Hanqing could not embark on the road of official career, so they could only make a living by writing scripts. They hoped that a great hero like Guan Yu would appear and save the people in from the mire, so Guan Yu was constantly deified in folk dramas. In Ming Dynasty, Zhu Maoyuan Zhang believed that folk martial arts and peasant uprising threatened the imperial power. Guan Yu was expelled from the Wu Temple again, and the title of An was abolished. How did he make a comeback this time? Let's take a look at Guandi Temple in Dongshan, Fujian. As a servant, Zhou Cang was actually shaped as big as his master Guan Yu. Legend has it that Zhao Min, the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister, fled here, and they were cornered and buried in the sea together. Lu Xiufu's soul was put into the statue of Guan Yu in Guandi Temple, and Zhao Min's soul was put into the statue of Zhou Cang. After all, Zhao Min is the monarch, Lu Xiufu is the minister, and Guan Yu and Zhou Cang have the same image here. It is precisely because of Lu Xiufu's joining that Guan Yu gained an image of a loyal minister who resisted foreign aggression. During the reign of Emperor Sejong Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders invaded the southeast coast, and Guan Gong was once again opened by the court, with Yue Fei and Lu Xiufu on both sides. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu officially replaced Jiang Shang as the second martial artist in China. After the description and fiction of folk artists and lower-class literati in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Guan Yu's story was widely circulated among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, the image of Guan Gong was further rewritten because of the love of the upper-class literati and nobles for drama. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms clearly points out that Guan Yu surrendered to Cao. How can there be a stain of surrender on this great hero? So Luo Guanzhong wrote a story about Cao Caoxin in the Han Dynasty, and later he rode Ma Qianli alone. After such a description, it not only concealed the fact that Guan Yu surrendered, but also made his image more perfect. The protagonist of the one-knife club is Lu Su. He is fearless in the face of Guan Yu, and he wants Jingzhou back. Why did the protagonist in Romance of the Three Kingdoms become Guan Yu? Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but Guan Yu kept Jingzhou and occupied Jingzhou. After that, I lost Jingzhou and went to Maicheng, lacking tragic color. Robben, a fellow Shanxi native, added a fictional character-Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang said, "The land under heaven is inhabited by the wise. Is this unique to you, Wu Dong? " Turn the whole situation around. As a wise monarch, Liu Bei was orthodox in the Han Dynasty. He occupied Jingzhou to restore justice in the Han Dynasty, and Guan Yu became a teacher of justice. There was a play Guan Yu beheaded The Story Of Diu Sim in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the hero has never been touched by a woman, it is still detrimental to the hero's image to let Guan Yu behead an unarmed weak woman himself. So in the Ming Dynasty, there was another version of the play, Guan Yu and The Story Of Diu Sim. This time, Guan Yu and The Story Of Diu Sim let bygones be bygones and gave up their love, but in the end, Guan Yu gave up his love for his career, and Diusim's story ended in death. The difference is that he committed suicide this time. Through scripts, plays and novels, Guan Yu's portrayal has become more and more perfect, but as an image of a loyal minister in the Han Dynasty who fought back against foreigners, how was Guan Yu accepted by the Qing government? It turns out that The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was translated into Manchu before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs as a political and military textbook for the nobles. Nurhachi compared himself to Liu Bei and Mongolia to Sun Quan, so Guan Yu has long been accepted by Mongolia as a hero, and the Guandi Temple was built in Fushun's palace. After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, emperors of all dynasties continued to give customs titles, which increased to eleven characters by Qianlong and twenty-six characters by Guangxu. In many folk industries, Guan Gong is recognized as the ancestor of the industry. For example, tofu makers, blacksmiths, scissors makers, hairdressers and even candle makers admit that Guan Gong is a grandfather because he studies Spring and Autumn. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the commercial success of Shanxi merchants originated from the north and south of the river, and Guan Yu, who was enshrined in the Shanxi merchants' guild hall, added the image of God of Wealth. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were tens of thousands of Guandi temples in China, far exceeding Confucius temples.

The authentic traditional door gods are two famous people in the Tang Dynasty-Qin and Weichi Gong. Qin Qiong and Jingde, as door gods, originated from Huozhou, which was the battle of Huoyi in Sui and Tang Dynasties.
At the end of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang had no way and the world was in chaos. In 6 17 AD, Tang Gong Li Yuan set out from Taiyuan to attack the Sui Dynasty and Tang Jian. When the soldiers arrived in Huoyi, Shuozhou (now huozhou city, Shanxi), they were blocked by the Sui general Song Laosheng and had no choice but to go south. This Huoyi is located in the north-south traffic artery of Shaanxi, with Hanxinling in the north and Bai Bi Pass in the south. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. As early as the Yao and Shun period, it was known as "Zhongzhou Town and Imperial City Barrier". The two sides argued for more than a month. It is said that Li Yuan, with the help of Huoshan God, attacked the old students of the Song Dynasty and took Chang 'an directly. The Tang Dynasty was established in Chang 'an in the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, but its foothold was occupied by Liu Wuzhou, known as the Star Emperor. Liu Wu Zhou Kebing, trapped in Jiexiu, took Huoyi and occupied Hedong, and his influence will reach Guanzhong. In the winter of 6 19, he led the troops back to Jin. Hedong, Pingyang, soldiers to Huoyi. Liu Wuzhou ordered Marshal to guard Huoyi, while Weichi Gong was ordered to guard the pass and stop the northward advance.
Li Shimin repeatedly attacked Bai Bi Pass, losing troops and losing troops, in vain. Li Shimin moved eastward and entered Huoyi along the western foot of Huoshan Mountain in 620. The eastern part of Huoyi is known as the "Rice River". Weichi Gong found that he avoided the natural barrier and entered Huoyi, so he sent troops to meet him, and launched a life-and-death war with Qin, the marching director in Miliangchuan. The two generals confronted each other. Almost every round, Weichi Gong hit three lashes and returned two lashes. Because Weichi Gong's whip weighs 60 kg, it takes 180 kg to hit three lashes; Qin Qiong mace weighs 90 Jin, and two maces are also 180 Jin. "Three lashes and two hammers" shows that the two generals are basically evenly matched. Li Shimin had long heard of Weichi Gong's bravery and honesty, and was deeply impressed by his superb martial arts. Now I'm sitting and watching the two tigers fight, and I'm afraid I'll get hurt, so I rang the golden bell, retired, and tried to take Weichi Gong back to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin met Weichi Gong many times and advised him to defect. Weichi Gong finally promised that as long as Liu Wuzhou died, he would return to Tang. Li Shimin longed for virtue, but he couldn't catch and kill Liu Wuzhou at once, so he killed a man who looked like Liu Wuzhou and gave his head to Weichi Gong. Weichi Gong failed to tell the truth from the false, so he went to Li Shimin. Pacify the war in Liu Wuzhou, another Iliad Weichi Gong, my heart is full of joy. He decided to have a rest in Huoyi and then move to Beijing.
Li Shimin lived in Huoyi Yamen (now Huozhou Ancient Yamen), and was awakened by two headless people in her dream for many times. Li Shimin thought carefully. These two men are like Song Laosheng, a general of An Lushan who was beheaded in Huoyi in 6 17, and Liu Wuzhou who was beheaded. The two headless ghosts kept harassing, which made Li Shimin fidgety. Li Shimin called for counsel, and said, "Your Majesty surrendered General Wei Chi in a hurry, so he killed Liu Wuzhou. Your master can send General Wei Chi to guard the yamen at night to keep the world safe. " In accordance with the words, make Weichi Gong gatekeeper. Sure enough, ghosts like Liu Wuzhou stopped caring, but the ghost of Song Like's old student came. Li Shimin looked for Xu Maogong again. Xu Maogong said, "I heard that Song Laosheng was a general of Sui Dynasty, but his loyalty and courage are commendable. I overheard that Song Laosheng admired Qin very much. You may be safe if you send qin keep to the yamen as much as possible at night. " According to the words, the Qin night guard yamen was added, and sure enough, the ghosts of Song Laosheng no longer came.
Because of this, Qin Qiong and Jingde were ahead of Huoyi Xu Maogong's strategy, King Jinghe disturbed Taizong, and Emperor Taizong summoned Qin and Weichi Gong after driving. Therefore, Qin Qiong and Jingde, two famous men in the Tang Dynasty, met Huozhou for the first time, fought fiercely in Huozhou and made friends in Huozhou, and their roots as door gods were also in Huozhou. It is said that the image of door gods described by Wu Cheng'en in The Journey to the West is based on Huozhou door gods, and the traditional Chinese painting of Tianjin Yangliuqing door gods is also Huozhou door gods collection.
Everyone likes to regard ancient loyal people as door gods.
The gatekeeper is the idol posted on the door by China people. The basic intention of the custom of door-sticking gods is to eliminate disasters and obtain happiness. Door gods originated from the worship of common things in ancient times. According to the investigation, there was a door god in the Zhou Dynasty in China, but the door god at that time was still unknown. There were three door gods in Han Dynasty, one was Cheng qin, the other two were Shen Tu and Lei Yu, and there were two door gods in Tang Dynasty, Qin and Weichi Gong. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were countless folk door gods. Today, the custom of sticking to the door in the Spring Festival still exists. Qin and Weichi Gong are the two most popular and influential door gods among military commanders.
There is a legend that Qin Qiong and Jingdezhen became door gods: Li Shimin killed two brothers in Xuanwu Gate in order to compete for the throne. After living in the palace, he often had nightmares, dreaming that his two brothers turned into evil spirits to find his life, fidgeting all day. Emperor Taizong had two generals under him, one was called, very brave; The other is Qin, who won every battle. Two uniformed generals volunteered to go to the door, which made Li Shimin feel very comfortable. However, as soon as they leave, Li Shimin will get sick immediately. Wei Zhi asked the painter to draw portraits of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong and put them on the door. Li Shimin never had nightmares again. When this story spread to the people, the people all knew the great power of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong, and they also imitated and painted their portraits, and put them on the door during the Chinese New Year, which was called "Door God".
