Brief introduction of the god of wealth:
The gods in charge of financial resources can be divided into two categories: one is Taoist deity, and the other is folk belief. Taoism gives the title of celestial official to God, and folk beliefs are celestial officials and immortals.
1, God of Wealth: There are two kinds of God of Wealth, which are divided into Fortune King and Lu Xing among the three stars of Fu Lushou.
(1) Caibo Xing Jun: He looks very rich. He is an old man with a white face and a long beard. He looks like a rich man in a brocade dress and a jade belt. According to legend, he is a white star in the sky and belongs to the golden god. His title in the sky is "becoming a wealth star all day", and he is in charge of all the gold and silver wealth in the world. Therefore, many people who seek money respect him very much, and some even offer incense day and night.
(2) Fu Lushou Samsung: "Fuxing" holds a son in hand, symbolizing the blessing of having everything. "Lu Xing" wears a luxurious royal dress and holds jade in his hand, symbolizing promotion and knighthood, and increasing wealth and making a fortune. "Shouxing" holds a peach with a happy and peaceful smile, symbolizing Ankang and longevity. Among the three stars of Fu Lushou, only "Lu Xing" is the god of wealth; But because Samsung is usually a trinity, Fu and Shou are regarded as the god of wealth together.
2. Wu Caishen: There are two kinds of Wu Caishen, one is Guan Gong with a red face and a long beard, and the other is Zhao Gongming with a black face in Darkmouth.
(1) Guan Gong: Guan Gong, formerly known as Guan Yu, was a famous soldier in the Three Kingdoms period. Powerful image, he is not only brave and touching, but also can turn money into treasure and protect money from evil. One thing must be noted, the God of Wealth and Wu Caishen are placed in different directions, so we must distinguish them clearly! The god of wealth with a peaceful face, whether it is a rich and prosperous star king or a three-star Fu Lushou, should face the inside of the house, not the outside. Otherwise, you will send money outside the house! As for the majestic Wu Caishen, it should face outward or the gate, so that on the one hand, money can enter the house, and at the same time, it can guard the door to prevent foreign evil from invading.
(2) Zhao Gongming, also known as Zhao Xuan, was a commander in chief. Zhao Gongming and Wu Caishen are said to be able to turn evil spirits into wealth, so many businessmen in the north like to offer sacrifices in shops; Most businessmen in the south worship Guan Gong.
Cai Xingjun: He looks very rich. He is an old man with a white face and a long beard. He was dressed in a jade belt, holding a gold ingot in his left hand and a scroll with the words "Lucky for Money" in his right hand. He looks like a rich man. According to legend, he is a white star in the sky and belongs to the golden god. His title in the sky is "becoming a wealth star all day", and he is in charge of all the gold and silver wealth in the world. Therefore, many people who seek money respect him very much, and some even offer incense day and night.
Tao Zhugong, the god of wealth, Fan Li, the ancestor of business, is regarded as a business sage, good at getting rich in business, so the symbolic treasure is a cornucopia. Fan Li was regarded as a god of wealth by later generations. Among the gods of wealth, Fan Li has the closest relationship with wealth. He was the representative of the rich god of wealth before his death. Proper advance and retreat, indifferent attitude towards fame and wealth, and superb management methods are important factors that make him regarded as the god of wealth.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the custom of "receiving the god of wealth" prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, and it is still popular among the people. After the store opened, golden gongs, firecrackers and sacrifices were hung early in the morning to welcome the God of Wealth. Businessmen who believe in Guan Di Sheng Jun will sacrifice, set off firecrackers and burn gold paper for Guan Gong on the fifth day of the first month, and ask Guan Di Sheng Jun to bless a prosperous year.
What is the focus of the position of the god of wealth?
(1) The goddess of wealth can be worshipped alone, or together with Fu Lushou Samsung and Xing Jun, or together with a Wu Caishen, but not together with two Wu Caishen. The worship of the god of wealth must be placed in an auspicious position. Don't worship the god of wealth on the fierce side, otherwise it is both right and wrong to break the money.
(2) Incense burners and ever-burning lamps used to worship the god of wealth must be made of copper. Because the god of wealth is an immortal in the sky, you can put some desserts, flowers and trinkets in the sacrifice. When offering sacrifices to the god of wealth, the face can't be outside the door, only indoors. The God of Wealth sends money. If he faces indoors, he will send money to the people inside. On the contrary, he faces the outside and gives money to people outside the house. The owner of the house will lose money and suffer.
1, as a civilian, and employed workers should be placed or dedicated to the god of wealth; As for those who are bosses and soldiers in business in Wuzhi, they should be placed or enshrined. Generally speaking, Zhao Gongming is worshipped in the north and Guan Yu is worshipped in the south.
2. Pottery can be used for incense burners and ever-burning lamps, because the god of wealth is mostly the immortal of historical figures.
3. The god of wealth can use offerings such as flowers, fruits, food, tea or meat, which are consumables and are replaced every few days; If it can still be eaten, it should be used for other purposes, or eaten by family members, not discarded; If it is rotten or corrupt, do garbage disposal. As for whether it is an odd or even offering, there is no limit, and it is even in terms of symmetry. If it is limited to the relationship between material resources, financial resources, location and venue, there is nothing wrong with odd numbers. As for the category, the materials are subject to the range that everyone's financial resources may bear, and they are not perfunctory or extravagant.
4. Don't offer sacrifices with Guanyin Bodhisattva. If there are Buddhists and Guanyin in the family who need to be enshrined together, they need to be enshrined in layers with shrines. The god of wealth is under the Buddha and Guanyin.
5, the god of wealth, whether it is a fortune star or a three-star Fu Lushou, must face their own house, not the outside. Otherwise, you will send money outside the house!
6. If the gate is not suitable for worshipping the god of wealth, you can set up an altar in the following ways. Generally speaking, for those who have not converted, it is best to sit north to south and west to east. The height of the altar is four feet (about 1, 2 meters). Of course, it is best not to lean against the bathroom or press under the beam. If the Buddhist altar is not affected by the direction, it can be placed in any position, because the Buddha and Bodhisattva are omnipotent and are not affected by any direction.
7. The texture of the God of Wealth includes ceramics, gold plating, jade and pure copper. Which is better? Copper is more effective. Copper itself has atmosphere and aura. At the same time, copper has the strongest magnetic field, and most Buddha statues are made of copper!
The above is my arrangement of Feng Shui ornaments, the layout of the god of wealth and related matters needing attention, hoping to help friends in need.
