Three. Introduction:
Guan Yu (? -220), formerly known as Xianren, later changed to Yunchang, a native of Xie Xian County, Hedong County (now Yuncheng, Shanxi Province). He was a famous soldier in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He followed Liu Bei in his early days, was captured by Cao Cao, and killed Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao, in Bai Mapo. Together with Zhang Fei, they are called ten thousand enemies.
Guandi was originally one of the four handsome protectors of Taoism, and now Taoism mainly worships him as a god of wealth. As for its origin, it has been introduced before. Its function is not only to cure diseases and eliminate disasters, exorcise evil spirits, punish treason, inspect secret departments, but also to protect merchants and make money. Because of its loyalty, it is called the God of Wealth. Businessmen think there are three things. One is that Guan Gong was very good at financial management and accounting before his death. He once established a method of taking notes and invented a diary. There are four items in this calculation method: original, receipt, exit and deposit, which are very detailed and clear. Later businessmen were all recognized accounting experts, so they were regarded as business gods. Another way of saying this is that Guan Gong died because businessmen talked about business and traded with loyalty and credit.
