Hakkas in mainland China are called "Bo Gong with Bai Bo", and Fujian Province in Taiwan Province is called "Fu Zhengde God". In the Hakka areas of Chaozhou, Guangdong and Hong Kong, people usually build a small temple at the intersection of villages to worship the land god. The land god at the intersection of villages is the patron saint of the place, maintaining peace and not being disturbed by evil spirits. The jurisdiction is relatively large, just like the local public security police, sometimes the mage has to announce the land when he is practicing the law. There is a saying: "The land here is the most spiritual god, reaching out to the sky." Sometimes when practicing dharma, the mage also needs the help of the land, such as going to local territory to do some legal things, such as investigating local hardships, such as visiting the underworld and so on. It is said that in the first seven days after a person's death, Houtu God sent his land to take the deceased to the underworld. Clinging to death (ask M) will also make the land find its ancestors, and if you pay attention to many Taoist temples, there is a temple dedicated to the land near Longmen in Lingyuan Garden. Although the temple is small, simple or even simple, old gods is here, and the land will be responsible for guarding the altar garden. Although the immortal is small, he has a great responsibility. This should not be underestimated. As can be seen from the statue of the land god, it is generally one. Some people sometimes get what they want with an ingot in their left hand and a crutch in their right. In Fujian, it is generally enshrined with Guanyin Guandi. In Taiwan Province Province, there is a kind of painting called Shencaicai (that is, a room full of portraits of gods, which are offered by almost every family). In nave's painting, Guanyin is above, Mazu and Guandi are in the middle, and the kitchen god and the land god Fu Zheng are below, which shows the wide belief of the land god.
In Hong Kong, Guangdong, all shops and houses, whether villas or apartments, are dedicated to the God of the Land. Generally, the word "God of Wealth is at the entrance" is engraved with a wooden sign or a stone sign. This land is different from that of the temple at the entrance to the village. The land at the entrance of the village is higher than that at the entrance, and its jurisdiction is wider. The jurisdiction of the village land is limited to the square position of the portal. In fact, every household has its own land at the door. Now the housing structure has changed, but in the area of Guangdong and Hong Kong, the land god at Anmenkou has been retained. Although the land god at Anmenkou has a low status, he has the ability to go out to ward off evil spirits, prevent ghosts and wild ghosts from passing through the door, and concurrently serve as the god of wealth. No matter whether the so-called "making a fortune" is positive or negative, many shops and entertainment places have the land god at Anmenkou. It is precisely because the land at the gate bears the responsibility of the god of wealth at the same time that a set of laws has been made. The author often helps some good letters, shops and factories to protect their doorways. The application of the law can really change the financial quotient. If you put it on everyone, it doesn't matter without law and force. As the saying goes, there are many ghosts in incense burners. Please calm down.
Because the landlord was worshipped by the rich in the past, his jurisdiction was in the house, usually in the living room facing the gate, and the business people were in the shop facing the gate. Why are they facing the gate? Because the god of the landlord has the function of attracting people and money, he is responsible for guarding the gods at home. For example, with the geomantic omen of Eight Houses, the deity can be placed in a crouching position. Generally, it is enshrined in the form of memorial tablets, but the worship of landlords must be grounded, so a square brick must be placed under the shrine. The so-called landlord brick should be placed in the middle of the southeast and northwest of Long 'an with five colors, and then placed with soil protection symbols and dragon attracting symbols. The incense burner of the landlord should be porcelain. Why are you doing this? Just look at the memorial tablet and you will understand. The landlord's card reads: the landlord's god of wealth is surrounded by five dragons, and the couplet: Bai Yu was born in the soil and out of the ground. In fact, there are five immortals in the five parties, so we should remember to worship with five sticks when we are fragrant, especially when businessmen worship with five cups of tea and five cups of wine. Generally speaking, shops provide land for landlords and doorways to make money.
