Li Guizu, God of Wealth
In the official edition of "Three Continued Zichuan County Records" published in the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), it was recorded that Li Juezu, the god of wealth, blessed: "When Li Juezu was Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was established as Qu Zhouling. When there was a dispute between the north and the south, the people were miserable and fought endlessly. They could only appease exile, inspire people to be enlightened, share the interest with the people and die in official positions. The people cherish their virtues and build temples to wish them well. I have enjoyed the pilgrimage so far, and I worshipped the famous temple in the Ming Dynasty. " When Li Xun served as the magistrate of Quzhou County, he was honest and upright, devoted himself to the benefit of the people, and solved many difficult problems, which was deeply supported and loved by the people of Quzhou. During his tenure, he dredged rivers, built canals, solved floods and treated saline-alkali land, took the lead in setting an example, lived frugally and gave all his wages to the poor. Once upon a time, people in Quliang area lived a happy and prosperous life. Later, Li Guizu lived in the Northern Wei Dynasty (an official position). On his deathbed, he repeatedly said to his son, "I used to be an official who bent a beam and knew the people there very well." Be sure to bury me in the curved beam after I die. Even if your descendants sacrifice to me in the future, it is not as good as Quliang people. " Taking Quzhou, where he once worked, as the burial place means that Li Zhaizu is deeply loved by Quzhou people and misses Quzhou. Even after his death, he will never forget this place and want to be with the people here. After his death, his son buried him in Quzhou according to his wishes, and the people took the initiative to build a memorial hall for Li Xunzu, which was sacrificed every year to express their thoughts on him. In order to remember Li Xunzu's achievements, later generations listed him as the first official in the Qu and Zhou Dynasties when compiling county chronicles, which became an example for county magistrates in previous dynasties. In 926, in the late Tang Dynasty and the first year of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xunzu blessed the emperor and increased his "xianggong". In the Yuan Dynasty, the name was blessing, kindness and fairness.

In the Taoist classic Sou Shen Ji, Li Zhaizu is one of the gods in China, and he mainly manages "the food and clothing of officials above the third grade in the DPRK, and the food and clothing of residents in all ages", that is, in the Taoist immortal system, Li Zhaizu mainly manages the food and clothing of officials above the third grade in the DPRK, as well as the clothing, food and money of every citizen in the world, and is in charge of the official transportation of the officials and the people. Gong Li ancestral temple was originally located in the north of Dongjie Road, Quzhou County, and was called Zengfu Temple.

Later generations called Li Xianggong because Li Zhezu was named Zeng Fugong. His cemetery was originally on the side of the old road of Zhanghe River in the east of Quzhou. It is tall and magnificent, and the incense keeps burning. The fields used for sacrifice are gradually increasing. The masses are often proud of cultivating Li Xianggong's sacrificial fields and think that they will be blessed by Li Xianggong. So people gathered near Li's tomb to live and produce, and gradually formed a village called Xianggongzhuang Village. In history, Li Xunzu had four emperors' titles at least four times. The first time was in the first year of Tiancheng in the Five Dynasties (926), and Ming Taizu Lisi gave it as "God increases happiness and is right"; The second time, in the second year, in the second year of Tiancheng (927), Mingzong named it "Zengfuling Dehou"; The third time, in the second year of Yuan Dynasty (1329), Yuan Wenzong presented it as "Floating Mountain and Stone Pinggong"; The fourth time, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, "Ming Xing Jin Si Ming officials, still Tang Feng".

A few years ago, a 49-year-old (1784) stone tablet was excavated during the renovation of the Fortress Temple in Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou. According to the inscription, the Temple of the God of Wealth was built in the ninth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (158 1), and was then called "Zengfu Hou Ling Temple". It was rebuilt in the 14th year of Qing Shunzhi (1657) and described the situation at that time. "Today is a bustling metropolis with business travel, which is unique. Chinese and foreign countries are unified, life is boundless, the gods are silent, the lucky stars are always shining, the people are rich and strong, the etiquette is salty, and the gods are happy and auspicious. " This monument is the evidence that Li Xunzu was named as "increasing happiness and making Dehou". Due to the emperor's conferment, Li Zhaizu became a famous outstanding figure in the country, an example for officials to learn and an idol worshipped by his subjects. The ballad of God of Wealth is still circulating in Quzhou, Hebei Province.

Grandpa God of Wealth is not surnamed Cai,

I asked the financial staff to come the next day.

Dressed in gold and silver,

Holding a cornucopia in his arms.

With a cash cow in his hand,

Snowflake silver is rolling under your feet.

Jade horse tied to a cash cow,

Yuma and Kirin are lying here.

Kirin is hanging around here,

Jin Yuanbao has a door.

I haven't swept the floor for three days,

This gold ingot is three feet deep.
