In Buddhism, the third day of the third lunar month is the day when cloth-bag monks meditate. The monk named Che was a monk in Fenghua, Mingzhou from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. He is wide and fat with a smile on his face. In some temples where Buddhism was spread in the Han Dynasty, Maitreya with a big belly (or a big belly bhikkhu) was modeled after Tai, meaning to make money and gather wealth, and folk believers regarded it as the god of wealth.

The third day of the third lunar month, also known as? Shangsi Festival? , is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

In Buddhism, the third day of the third lunar month is also the day when the cloth-bag monk sat down, that is, the third day of the third year of Liang (9 17). The cloth bag monk got its name from this. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, he became a monk in Fenghua, Mingzhou, named Changting, and became a monk in the Five Dynasties. He is wide and fat, smiling and incoherent, lying around like a crazy cripple; He often walks into the market with a bamboo stick on his back, begging for whatever he sees, and he will never be satisfied with whatever he gives. Sometimes, in front of a group of people, he dumped the contents of his bag on the ground and shouted, look, look, look. Then he smiled and put those things back in his bag.

In his early years, the cloth bag monk became a monk in Lin Yue Temple in Fenghua, and he loved to swim in Xuedou Mountain. He taught here, so Xuedou Mountain was honored as? Maitreya Holy Land? . In some temples of Han Buddhism, Maitreya with a big belly (or a big belly bhikkhu) is based on this. This is the image education in Buddhism, which means? Is it a big blessing? Remind the world to learn tolerance. Because the image of such deeds is usually smiling, holding a cloth bag, with the intention of making money and gathering money, it is regarded as a god of wealth by folk believers.
