I, the correct understanding of the God of Fortune The God of Fortune has been one of the most popular gods and goddesses in China since ancient times, and the general public worships the Goddess of Mercy and the God of Fortune the most. The Goddess of Mercy is the one who is believed to save people from suffering and is also believed to be the most spiritual Bodhisattva, so people will turn to the Goddess of Mercy for help in any unfavorable situation. On the basis of a peaceful, healthy and peaceful existence, people's greatest hope is to get rich, so that their state of existence can have a leap, so the God of Wealth has naturally become one of the most popular gods and goddesses, along with Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although the world worships the Goddess of Mercy and the God of Wealth, I have found that the public has too little knowledge of these two deities and there are many misconceptions about them. Because tomorrow is the folklore of the God of Fortune's birthday, so, about the Goddess of Mercy's related content I would like to talk about another day, we are interested in understanding, can be in the Sina microblogging search "Shao Yiduan" plus attention, today I will talk about, so that you can really play a role in gathering wealth and generating wealth. Since we want to invite the God of Fortune, first of all, we should have an understanding of the God of Fortune. We are now talking about the God of Wealth, in fact, is not the only one, strictly speaking, Buddhism and Taoism have the God of Wealth, because the vast majority of folk worship Taoist God of Wealth, so I'm here today only to talk about the God of Wealth of Taoism. Taoist God of Fortune is divided into the God of Fortune and the God of Fortune and the God of Fortune, and the God of Fortune and the God of Fortune and each divided into two, the following details. First, the God of Fortune 1, the Star of Fortune: Star of Fortune is a dressed in brocade, waist tie jade belt, left hand holding a golden treasure, the right hand holding a scroll written to attract wealth and prosperity, looks heavy, sitting or standing, is the rich and wealthy infinite phase of the officials. Legend has it that he is the Tai Bai Jin Xing under the account of the Jade Emperor, belonging to the Golden God. In the court of heaven's title is "all the sky to the wealth of wealth star", specializing in the world's gold and silver wealth. His appearance and auspicious, respond to all requests, the most happy to help the good men and women, is the public most like to worship a God of Wealth, the general folk worship of the God of Wealth is the vast majority of the wealth of the Star King. 2, the three stars of fortune, fortune and longevity: "fortune star" holding a child, symbolizing the blessing of the son of all things enough; "fortune star" wearing a luxurious court dress, holding a jade ruyi, a symbol of officialdom, wealth and wealth; "longevity star" holding a peach of longevity, a symbol of the god of wealth. The "Star of Longevity" is holding the peach of longevity with a happy and peaceful smile on his face, symbolizing a long and healthy life. Strictly speaking, the three stars of fortune and longevity belong to the god of joy, not the true meaning of the god of wealth, if it must be related to wealth, it is only the "star of fortune" to take some side. But many people like to put them together with the God of Fortune and the Star of Fortune to worship, together meaning blessing, fortune, life, wealth, happiness, to show that auspicious omen, coupled with, after the Star of Fortune and the Star of Fortune and the Star of Fortune only to help the rich, poor people seek useless legend, but also to the God of Fortune, Bodhisattva repudiation of his wife's story pointing fingers at the Star of Fortune and the Star of Fortune, resulting in a lot of general conditions of the people began to turn to worship the God of Fortune and the Star of Fortune and Longevity. Of course, the story about the God of Fortune Bodhisattva repudiation of his wife should be fabricated, but many civil servants, enterprises and public institutions staff, by working for people to make money, especially clerical work, white-collar workers to worship the three stars of Fortune, Luk and Longevity is said to be able to promote and add to the wealth, wage increases, increased income. Legend has it that this is mainly the role of the star and the role of the star in line, of course, because the three stars is usually a trinity, so the two stars of fortune and longevity are also enshrined together, *** as the God of Wealth. Second, the God of Wealth 1, Zhao Gongming: If you know Zhao Gongming, the biggest possibility is the novel "Fengshen Bang", so that the novel and film and television transmission is really one of the best ways to disseminate the development of traditional culture, I work in a film and television company in Zhejiang during the time has been considering the planning of a large-scale program related to traditional culture, I hope that more hobbyists in the traditional culture can join the dissemination of the development of traditional culture, the ranks. In the line, interested friends can pay attention to my Sina microblogging "Shao Yichen". Off-topic, back to the topic, according to the "list of gods", the god of wealth surnamed Zhao Gongming, originally in Emei Mountain Luofu Cave cultivation, because of the help of the attack on the king of Wu, after his death, was named "Golden Dragon Ruyi is a dragon and tiger Xuan Tan Zhenjun of the god", and the commander of "Zhaobao Tianzun", "Najin Tianzun", "fortune messenger", "profit immortal officer" four subordinates, because of their duties are related to wealth, naturally by the folk as the god of wealth. Of course, this is a novel, and in fact, according to the relevant records of Taoism, Zhao Gongming was originally from Zhongnan Mountain, since the time of the Qin Dynasty, living in the mountains, cultivating to the Taoist, and after his success, the Jade Emperor appointed him as "Zheng Yi Xuan Tan Marshal", referred to as "Zhao Xuan Tan". His face is quite fierce, black face, thick beard, angry eyes, head wearing an iron crown, one hand holding a steel whip, one hand holding a treasure, underneath the body also across the black tiger, so there is a "black tiger Xuan Tan" said. Legend has it that this Zhao Gongyuan Shuai was in charge of removing pestilence, driving away diseases and avoiding disasters, and that he would do justice to any grievances; and that he could make people buy and sell to seek wealth, so that he could make it profitable. His original job is not a full-time god of wealth, but should be able to make people profitable, no one else can replace it, so he was honored by the businessmen, regarded him as the god of wealth, because of specializing in making people profitable, he is divided into the God of Wealth, which means to attract wealth. 2, Guan Gong: Guan Gong's original name is Guan Yu, the word Yun Chang, is the Three Kingdoms era of the famous generals, who have read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know, is one of the protagonists of this novel. Many people are curious, at first I was also very curious, Guan Gong had become a god of wealth, why he would become a god of wealth, why in the end he will have the role of gathering wealth it. Make me the earliest to unravel the cause of this doubt, because I have a collection of antiques at home of a friend of the God of Wealth bronze statue, he said is a descendant of the Jin merchants that bought over, the real ancestral things. So, does it mean that Guan Gong from the heyday of Jin merchants have become the God of Wealth? I checked the relevant historical data, after analyzing, the earliest began to worship Guan Gong should be those Jin merchants. Nowadays, businessmen (rich people) are highly respected in this society, while in ancient times, the status of businessmen was quite low. In addition to the reason that China has been emphasizing on agriculture and business since ancient times, more importantly, due to the social reasons at that time, the image of businessmen was very poor, and no businessman is not a crook is the most graphic depiction of the situation. The study of Jin merchants why from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty can span two dynasties of more than 500 years, in order to the overwhelming momentum galloped in China's trade and financial industry, I think one of the most important reason is the spirit of Jin merchants beliefs and dissemination. Now many people study history and culture like to leave out the content of religious beliefs, and in fact, China's history and culture is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture, you leave out, it is not the real truth. Back to the main story, that era, Chong Confucianism, Confucius said: "the gentleman wants to be righteous, the small man wants to profit", the old hole of this sentence, all of a sudden to take the profit of the businessman delineated as a villain, and the Jin merchants in order to redeem the businessman's non-villainous image, put forward to take the profit of the righteousness of the first to keep the righteousness of the purpose of taking the profit after the use of the Zongxiao beliefs, the folk of the public's most Familiar characters in the most righteous Guan Gong for enshrinement, and spread a variety of legends similar to "Guan Gong war Chi You" such as to glorify the Guan Gong, and in the country where Jin merchants gathered to build Guan Di Temple, so we will find that we look up the information, the national Guan Di Temple are built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in fact, is the Jin businessman to do things. Therefore, Guan Gong is the earliest Jin merchants in order to change the image of the businessman and the use of Guan Gong's "righteousness" of the reputation and to achieve their "righteousness and profitability of the change of" the purpose of the spirit of belief in the God. Of course, the Jin merchants also due to respect for the belief in the righteousness of the God of Guan, to comply with the purpose of profit for righteousness, and to the people of the hundred letters to carry out effective "brainwashing and dissemination", so that the Jin merchants have been able to extend the development of more than 500 years. It should be said that Guan Gong was first worshipped in the image of Emperor Wusheng, the image of the "integrity" of the Jin business spokesman. And be worshipped as the god of wealth of the childish form should be in the Qing dynasty began, I have seen a Qing dynasty Guan Gong's prints, a little bit of the meaning of the god of wealth, interested can be self-certified. And really be honored as the god of wealth, I think it should still be in the modern era, I found that Guan Gong's beliefs in the reform and opening up is passed from Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, the initial dissemination of the Republic of China to the establishment of the new China should go out during the Jin businessmen's descendants. And the reason why it is honored as the god of wealth, which should be the reason for Guan Gong is a long history of businessmen's "God of protection", at the same time, its red face and long beard, the image of the mighty and Zhao Gongming have a spell, and holding a long knife also has a decapitation of wealth convergence of the meaning of the situation, in the materialistic, only money is the respect of the modern society, Guan Gong to turn to the God of Wealth in the image of the emergence of the God of Wealth, but also It is quite normal. The above introduction of the four, is the God of Wealth God, about the God of Wealth in Taoism, there are also partial God of Wealth, the God of Wealth, the Lord of positive wealth, partial God of Wealth, the Lord of Partial Wealth, about the partial God of Wealth myself in addition to the details. Now we understand the basic situation of the God of Wealth, we can invite the God of Wealth on their own personal situation, if you have a business business, the store should be invited to the God of Wealth, catering and other service industries, it is best to invite the God of Guan, advertising companies and other business industries, it is best to invite Zhao Gongming; of course, the best business home to invite the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth and Palau Xingjun, you can also even the three stars of Fukushima, Luk, Shouxing, and the salaried class, the official, and so on, should be invited to Fukushima, Luk, Shouxing, and so on. The three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity should be invited. As for how to invite, in what time to invite, placed in what position, how to open the light, taboos related to content, another day to take the time to write it! It's already 1:00 a.m. on the fifth day of the month, so I'll just write it here and post it for your reference.
