Because jiaozi is not only the most popular food in traditional festivals in northern China, but also the food that northerners must eat in traditional festivals, and jiaozi has a high position in traditional festivals, it is also the greatest respect for jiaozi to offer sacrifices to jiaozi, especially to jiaozi on the fifth day of the first month to welcome the god of wealth, which can show sincerity. In addition, the shape of jiaozi is similar to that of an ingot, which is called the custom of eating jiaozi on the God of Wealth Day. Eating jiaozi is similar to eating Yuanbao, which means it's easier to make money flourish.
Sacrificing to the god of wealth only needs to express our thoughts. Besides jiaozi, the second chicken is worth mentioning, because it is homophonic "auspicious". If you eat chicken on the God of Wealth Day, it means good luck, and you can also take the prepared chicken as a sacrifice. In addition, although chicken is animal, unlike pork and beef, the auspicious meaning of chicken itself can be balanced by animal, so this kind of food also refers to chicken.
The image representative of the god of wealth
The fifth son of the South China Sea Dragon King, a feast, full of compassion, with extensive wealth and wisdom. Sensing that Avalokitesvara had such a great wish, he took the initiative to bow down to the seat of Avalokitesvara, and was willing to turn into a dragon, carrying Avalokitesvara across the waves of Wan Li, to save the public and protect the law for Avalokitesvara in the South China Sea. Under the protection of Master Long Wu Ye, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the South China Sea, sprinkled with nectar, and surrendered to the god of plague; Drive away evil spirits and save the whole life.
The Buddha remembered the feelings of the five masters to save the world, and gave him three lucky one, namely "Gold ingot", "Treasury" and "cornucopia", and put him in charge of the distribution of human wealth and the overall flow of financial resources in the world. After Lord Long Wu blessed the South China Sea, it became a place for gathering wealth and gas. It is known as the land of Kyushu Treasury and the source of China's financial resources. Therefore, the provinces in the South China Sea have always been rich.
People call it "the God of Wealth of the Five Dragons" because they ask the Five Dragons for money. In order to thank Wu Ye for his kindness to the people, the people specially built a palace for him and dedicated the real statue of Wu Ye to the financial cave in Nanshan. Together with another dharma-protecting temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is called the North-South Financial Temple in the world.
