The God of Wealth and the Kitchen God are both gods, but they are not the same person.
The Kitchen God is also called Kitchen Lord, Kitchen Lord, Si Ming Bodhisattva or Kitchen Lord Siming. According to Han folklore, the Kitchen God reports to heaven on the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month every year and returns to earth on New Year's Eve. Worshiping the Kitchen God entrusts the working people of the Han nationality with their beautiful wishes of dispelling evil spirits, avoiding disasters and praying for blessings.
God of Wealth: The God of Wealth is the god in charge of financial resources in Han folklore. Currently, there are seven main gods of wealth enshrined, namely: Li Guizu, the magistrate of Quzhou County in Hebei Province during the Northern Dynasties, Duanmu Ci (zi) Gong: the ancestor of Confucian merchants), Fan Li (Zhejiang merchants), Guan Zhong (Hui merchants), Bai Gui (Shaxi merchants), Guan Gong (Guandi Pavilion), Bigan (the god of literary and financial wealth, the ancestor of Hebei merchants), Caibo Xingjun, Zhao Gongming.
