Why did Guan Gong become the God of Wealth? From the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), Guan Yu's title was 24 words long, and he was named "Loyal and righteous SHEN WOO, seeing his courage, showing the sincerity of his people, appeasing and praising Emperor Xuande Guan Sheng", which was unprecedented and amazing. Miyamoto was a historical figure in the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu in the history books only changed from a "general" to a "Hou" and did not become a god. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou in the Western Jin Dynasty, Guan Yu was a hero in troubled times, with a beard and a brave face. He and Liu Bei "vowed to die together with * * *" and did not buy Cao Cao's account. "Do your best and die, and thank you for your book." Later, due to the defeat of Jingzhou, Guan Yu died in Anyuan, Hubei. Guan Yu was sealed twice in his life. First, after beheading Yan Liang for Cao Cao, he was named "Hou Ting of Hanshou". On another occasion, after his death, he was named "Queen of Zhuang Temple" by Shu State. But all the historical materials at that time did not mention that he was a god. So, when did Guan Yu become the God of Wealth? Probably in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Guan Yu began to be "deified". According to the story of rebuilding yuquan temple in the Tang Dynasty, the legend that Guan Yu helped the wise masters of the Sui Dynasty to build yuquan temple was described, saying that "(Guan Yu) was born to be virtuous, not for the sake of God ... the prosperity and decline of the country, but the abundance and lack of years, so he was bound" (Volume VI of the Complete). According to historical records, Guan Yu was the former general of Shu Han and Hou Ting of Han Shou. Guan Yu's fief was the birthplace of Liu Shuhan, which is today's Sichuan. Hou Ting was the lowest among the five emperors in the Han Dynasty. Song Huizong sealed the King of Wu 'an, and later sealed it many times. Ming Wanli began to seal the "demon emperor three realms", and the Qing Dynasty sealed it ten times. "In the first year of Shunzhi, the ceremony of Guandi was established. In nine years, SHEN WOO Guan Sheng the Great was conferred as a loyal minister. (In the twenty-third year of Qianlong), Guan Guandi was named Guan Shengdi of Wuling V, a loyal god. " ("A General Examination of Qing Dynasty Literature?" In the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), Guan Yu's title was 24 words long, and he was named "Loyalty, Spirit of SHEN WOO, Fu, Yong, Wei Min, Sincerely Soothing, Praising Xuande and Guan Sheng the Great", which was unprecedented and amazing. In Song Dynasty, people paid attention to Guan Yu by building Wang Guan Temple, which gradually became a landscape at that time. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu was awarded the highest title of Taoism, "The Three Enchanting Emperors Shenweiyuan Town Tianzunguan Shengdijun". In the Qing Dynasty, "there is no land in the thoroughfare or even in the hinterland", the wind of building Wang Guan Temple increased, and Guan Gong became the patron saint of all walks of life. Perhaps it is because people don't pay enough attention to Guan Yu, so people let Guan Yu serve as the "God of Wealth". So in the Qing Dynasty, Guan Gong's role changed. The change of Guan Gong's role in Qing Dynasty was closely related to the prosperity of folk commercial activities in Kanggan period. At that time, all walks of life regarded the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as Guan Gong. For example, it is said that Guan Yu once sold tofu when he was young, and the tofu industry also took this opportunity to worship Guan Yu as the god of tofu industry; The candle industry is regarded as a god because Guan Gong holds candles and abides by the ceremony of his uncle and sister-in-law; What is more interesting is the barber industry, the slaughter industry and the knife and scissors shop industry, because their tools are knives, Guan Yu's weapon is Qinglong broadsword, and Guan Yu is also regarded as a god ... Guan Yu's image deepened later, which is not unrelated to various legends. Yang Qingru wrote in the book "Question": "Several legends have deepened the image of Guan Yu's god of wealth. One said that Guan Gong was good at financial management and accounting before his death. He once invented the counting method and designed a diary, which is clear and clear; On the other hand, after Guan Yu's death, the true god often returns to the world to help, and businessmen will make a comeback if they can get Guan Yu's help after their business is frustrated. It can be seen that businessmen choose Guan Gong as the god of wealth, and value his image of loyalty and the omnipotent god who punishes evil and promotes good and protects the people. They very much hope that Guan Gong can protect their lives and property. " There is also a saying that Guan Yu's becoming a god of wealth is related to Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants regarded Guan Gong as the protector when he was away from home, and built temples in halls all over the country. Because traveling around the world and wandering the rivers and lakes also need to take care of each other, * * * faces difficulties together. Therefore, they often form a half-brother alliance on the basis of "Taoyuan sworn", which also makes the virtue of Guan Gong's loyalty widely spread. Later, Shanxi merchants were rich in the world, and other businessmen followed suit, and Guan Gong became a recognized god of wealth. "In fact, the origin of the god of wealth in China is quite difficult to test, and the god of sacrifice varies from time to time. Ancient folk gods of wealth are divided into two categories: folk and military. Guan Yu is just the "Wu Caishen" of the God of Wealth, representing "honesty". Besides Guan Yu, there were other gods of wealth in ancient China. The "paper horse of the god of wealth" that appeared among the people in the Southern Song Dynasty should be the prototype of the god of wealth. The god of wealth evolved from ancient civil servants, such as Bigan and Fan Li. Of course, Wu Caishen evolved from military attache, such as Zhao Gongming and Guan Gong. The so-called "God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming is compared with "God of Wealth" ...

Why Guan Yu is the goddess of wealth and a household name in China. In modern times, more and more people regard Guan Gong as an all-powerful protector, professional god and god of wealth. The author of the photo exhibition of folk New Year idols said: "Guan Gong is regarded as the god of wealth and the god who protects businessmen. When people are in dispute, they should seek their insight and make a decision. During the drought, people ask him for rain, and they can ask the patient for a prescription, which is the most powerful person to exorcise evil spirits. "

According to Xu Dao's "Fairy Mirror of Past Dynasties", Guan Gong's previous life was "Xie Liang Lao Long". When the Han Dynasty became Emperor Heng, there was a drought in Hedong for years, and Lao Long was eager to pity the public. It was the night when the clouds cleared and the Yellow River drained. Seeing that the old dragon was against his destiny, the Jade Emperor picked up the water seal and asked Cao Tian to cut it off with his sword and throw its head to the ground. It's the faucet found by the county monk by the stream, which he mentioned and put in the jar in the middle of Lu. It's a nine-day spell. When he heard the sound in the jar, he saw that there was nothing in the jar, and a baby landed at Guan Yi's house in Baochi, Xie Ping village, east of Xihe River. His name was Changshou, and his name was Changshou. Later, he named himself Feather, which had a long word. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, originally from the evil mansion, got rid of people by relying on the situation, so he killed the evil mansion and traveled all over the rivers and lakes. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei "became sworn friends in Taoyuan" and vowed to live and die, fighting for hegemony with the rebels. In the fifth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao sent troops to defeat Liu Bei. Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao. Cao Cao captured Guan Yu, took a fancy to Guan Yu's loyalty and worshipped him as a partial general. After knowing that Guan Yu had no intention of staying long, Cao Cao bought it with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, high officials and beautiful women, but Guan Yu was not moved by money and fame. Knowing that Liu Bei was at Yuan Shao's place, Guan Yu immediately sealed the golden seal and went to Liu Bei after five passes. Liu Bei established himself as the king of Hanzhong and named Guan Yu the head of the Five Tigers. Cao Cao was furious and designed it with Sima Yi, and joined hands with Sun Quan to take Jingzhou. Liu Bei worshipped Guan Yu as a "former general", in charge of Jingxiang County, and ordered Fancheng to be taken. Guan Yu divided his troops and captured Fancheng, but unfortunately he was trapped by Lv Meng and lost Jingzhou. He left Maicheng at night, was defeated and captured, and died unyielding. After the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was recorded that after Guan Yu was killed, the ghost lingered and swayed through the city until he shouted over Yuquan Mountain in Dangyang County, Jingzhou: "Give me my head back!" Pu Chuan, an old monk on the mountain, said, "The past is not the present, so let's not talk about everything ... Now the general was killed by Monroe and shouted' Give me my head back', but whose head do you want?" Guan Yu suddenly realized and converted to Buddhism.

Guan Yu was brave and trustworthy all his life, and believed in Buddhism and Confucianism. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guan Yu was very prominent and was honored as "King of Martial Arts" and "Warrior Saint". As a result, Guan Yu was endowed with "all-powerful" powers such as managing imperial examinations, treating diseases and eliminating disasters, and exorcising evil spirits, and all walks of life in the folk worshipped Guan Di, the "all-powerful god". The reason why people regard Guan Yu as a god of wealth is probably because Guan Yu is unmoved by gold and silver treasures and associates with some greedy and hypocritical people in the world.

In stark contrast. People all over the world, especially businessmen, admire Guan Gong's loyalty and trustworthiness and hope that Guan Gong will become the patron saint of their wealth. In addition, people hope that businessmen will stick to honesty and trade, and regard Guan Gong as a just man who maintains the traditional moral order.

Why Guan Yu is the God of Wealth in Wu Caishen is difficult to study, and the gods he worships vary from time to time. Generally speaking, the God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming, Fan Li, Guan Yu, Wu Caishen, Lishi Xian Guan and Liu Haichan. These God of Wealth can be divided into two categories: God of Wealth and Wu Caishen. The most famous god of wealth is Zhao Gongming.

1, Zhao Gongming-a god who specializes in human wealth.

Zhao Gongming is the god of wealth worshipped by the world. According to the "Three Religions Seeking God", Zhao Gongming has great magical powers and endless changes. He can drive thunder and electricity, call the wind and rain, cut malaria, and save lives and solve problems. Therefore, it is called "the great contribution of marshal". Anti-business seeking wealth, as long as you pray for Zhao Gongming, will be satisfied, so people regard him as the god of wealth. In the past New Year pictures, most of the images of Zhao Gongming were wearing an iron crown, holding a treasure whip, a dark face and a thick beard. He was fierce, so people also called him Wu Caishen.

The folklore about Zhao Gongming has a long history. As early as the Jin Dynasty, in Gan Bao's Search for Ji Shen, Zhao Gongming was one of the ghosts who killed people. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Hongjing recorded in the "True Letters Patent" that Zhao Gongming was the god of plague that caused diseases. The Complete Book of Three Religions Seeking Gods in Sui and Tang Dynasties records that in June of the 11th year of Emperor Wendi, five mighty men appeared in the air, dressed in blue, red, white, black and yellow robes, each holding one thing: one holding a ladle and an altar, one holding a leather bag and a sword, one holding a hammer, one holding a fan and one holding a kettle. Wendi Deng asked Taishi Juren, "Who are they? What kind of disaster? " Zhang said, "They are five gods. They are five ghosts in the sky and five disasters on the earth: Zhang in spring, Liu Yuanda in summer, the clock in autumn and the clock in winter. They are in charge of Wen Zhong's history and literature, as well as the plague in the world. This is a disease caused by the operation of heaven and earth. " Emperor Wen asked, "How can we stop it and save the world from the plague?" Zhang Yue said, "The plague fell from the sky and cannot be stopped." . Many people died of the plague that year. At that time, Emperor Wen ordered the establishment of a shrine, and on June 27, he made the five-party lux a general.

Zhao Gongming's character of epidemic ghosts is more specific in Biography of Immortals, but he has changed from one of the five epidemic ghosts to one of the eight ghost coaches: in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were eight ghost coaches who led hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers and traveled all over the world. Liu Yuan led the ghost soldiers to carry out miscellaneous diseases, Zhang led the ghost to carry out plague, led the ghost to carry out dysentery, the clock (bell) to carry out sores and swelling, the stone to carry out cold syndrome, Fan Juqing to carry out acid and barren, Yao Gong to carry out five poisons, and Li Jinxing was crazy, which brought many disasters and diseases to the world, took all people's lives and wasted countless lives.

It was not until The Romance of Gods was published that Zhao Gongming was no longer full of evil spirits, something congenial and pestilence as it used to be. Jiang Taigong was given the title of Jade and Gold God by the orders of Yuan God, and named Zhao Gongming as "Golden Dragon Ruyi is the real King of Dragon and Tiger Tan Xuan". His duty is to specialize in gold and silver treasures and welcome good fortune. From then on, Zhao Gongming began to take charge of the world wealth and became the God of Wealth. Zhao Gongming's wealth management can make people live in harmony and get rich, which is in line with the world's desire to seek wealth. Therefore, Zhao Gongming is widely admired by people, and his original image as a ghost, plague and handsome ghost has been gradually forgotten. Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth worshipped by the people, is wearing armor, a shirt and a whip. His face is dark, his beard is thick and his image is formidable. Surrounded by cornucopia, big ingots, orbs, corals, etc., it enhances the effect of extensive financial resources.

2. Fan Li-Tao Zhugong has a good luck.

Fan Li is also a god of wealth. He was an outstanding politician, thinker and strategist during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and he was also a big businessman who could make money.

Fan Li was taciturn and brilliant, and had a clear mind when he was a teenager. Later, he was worshipped as a scholar-bureaucrat by Gou Jian, the king of Yue. The State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, and Fan Li followed the King of Yue to serve Fu Cha, the king of Wu. After returning home, he helped the King of Yue defeat the State of Wu. After the downfall of the State of Wu, the monarch and ministers of the State of Yue gave a banquet to celebrate their achievements. The ministers were all very happy, but Gou Jian's face was not happy. After observing, Fan Li came to the conclusion that the King of Yue did not hesitate to kill the minister in order to compete for territory. Now he has got his wish, so he doesn't want to owe his officials. Therefore, Fan Li resolutely resigned from the position of King Yue and took his family and entourage across the East China Sea to Qi.

Fan Li and his son farmed in the seaside of Qi State, and after diligent production and management, they accumulated hundreds of thousands of gold. Qi people have heard of Qi Xian. Please take a picture of him. Fan Li sighed: "If you stay at home, you will get a daughter. If you stay in an official position, you will get a dear friend. This kind of cloth is very good. It's been a long time. " So, it returned to Xiangyin, gave all the money to friends and neighbors, took only the most valuable things, secretly left Qidu and quietly came to Tao Di. I think that Tao is the only way to trade, so I can ... >>

Why is Guan Gong called Wu Caishen? In fact, Guan Yu is also a god of wealth.

The origin of the god of wealth is quite difficult to test, and the gods sacrificed vary from time to time. Generally speaking, there are the so-called "God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming, "God of Wealth" Bi Gan,,, "God of Wealth" Guan Yu, "God of Wealth" and "God of Wealth" Liu Haichan. These God of Wealth can be divided into two categories: God of Wealth and Wu Caishen. The most famous god of wealth is Zhao Gongming.

Guan Yu, or Guan Yu, is a well-known figure in China. In modern times, more and more people regard Guan Gong as an all-powerful protector, professional god and god of wealth.

He thinks that Tao is located in the center of the world and is the only way to trade, from which he can make a fortune, and that this is the guarantee for the rest of his life. From then on, he lived and called himself Tao Zhugong. ("Tao" refers to pottery land, or the argot "escape"; "Zhu" is a symbol of the rich, or I am already a senior official; "Gong", once said, is a title of respect for elders and peers, or once a duke). Through farming and raising livestock, Fan Li and his son accumulated tens of thousands of wealth in business and became monopolists of pottery land. Later, the two families shared their wealth with the people. Everyone praised Tao Zhugong and worshipped him as the God of Wealth. Tao Zhugong's management wisdom has always been admired by people, so many rich businesses have been entrusted to Tao Zhugong. For example, "eighteen taboos in business": be diligent in business and avoid laziness; The price should be specific and not vague; Save money and avoid extravagance; Credit should be recognized and abused; Goods should be inspected face to face, and abuse is strictly prohibited; Be careful when entering and leaving, and avoid doodling; Use people to be square and avoid evil; Advantages and disadvantages should be subdivided and not confused; The goods should be trimmed and must not be sloppy; The deadline should be agreed, not sloppy; Buy and sell in a timely manner and avoid delay; Be careful with your money to avoid being confused; Do your duty in case of trouble, and avoid false entrustment; Accounts should be audited, not lazy; Acceptance should be moderate and not violent; Be quiet, not rude; Speak according to the rules, don't be impetuous ... The above 18 taboos are ... >>

In addition, people hope that businessmen will stick to honesty and trade, regard Guan Gong as a just person, and maintain the traditional moral order.

Why is Guan Yu called the God of Wealth? What's going on here? Guan Di, also known as Guan Jun .. In the eyes of most believers, Emperor Guan Sheng is also a Wu Caishen. Historically, Guan did exist. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu was born in Changping Village, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. Lingguang married Hu in the first year. Guan Yu has a formidable appearance and superb martial arts. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. He defected to Liu Bei, became sworn brothers with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and fought for the title. Liu Bei established Shu, Guan Yu defended Xiangyang, defined the state, and supervised Jiangling. He was named a former general and defeated Coss, which was a great success. In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an, Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou with Monroe's plan, and Guan Yu kept Jingzhou. Once defeated by Maicheng for pride, captured by Sun Quan's subordinates, Zhang Xiang was in trouble (that is, in the north of Dangyang County, Hubei Province). Sun Quan dedicated the heads of Guan Yu and his son to Cao Cao. Because Guan Yu was once worshipped by Cao Cao as a general, he was well received. Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, the general of Yuan Shao, in order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, so Cao Cao carved thyme into a corpse and buried it in Luoyang. Sun Quan had to bury the body in Dangyang with a gift. Three years after Jing Yao, he chased Zhuang Miaohou. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" perfunctory this story of Guan Yu incisively and vividly, even a household name. For thousands of years, Guan Yu, who combines loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, has a high position in people's hearts. His brave, loyal and faithful image cannot be changed, because he has the conditions to be deified. The belief in Guan Gong began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Everbright period (AD 567), Guan Gong Temple was first built in Yuquan Mountain, Dangyang County. This is not only the product of the feudal ruling class's praise and applause for Guan Gong, but also the need of people's spiritual life. The ruling class preached Guan Gong's loyalty, filial piety and righteousness from the perspective of feudal morality, which made Guan Gong's belief flourish in a short historical period, mainly in the increase of temples, reaching hundreds of thousands; Guan Gong's title keeps increasing.

Why Guan Yu (Guan Yunchang) (Guan Gong) is the God of Wealth. Being original tells you that when Guan Yu was appreciated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao rewarded Guan Yu with a lot of money. It was troubled times and there were many refugees. Guan Yu donated the two pieces of silver to the refugees, and then he didn't know it when he was being original. In Taoism, the Emperor Guan of Hanshou Pavilion is regarded as the "God of the Han Dynasty". In Buddhism, he is the "Buddha who made the past" and "Galand Bodhisattva", and he is the patron saint of Taoism and Buddhism. In the folk, he is the god of wealth that businessmen must worship in order to exorcise evil spirits and turn money into treasure. There is no bodhisattva in the south, and there is no limit to Buddha.

Why do people worship Guan Gong? In people's minds, Guan Yu is an old America, upright and unmoved by money and beauty. Later, he became the Wu Caishen worshipped by businessmen. What's going on here? There is such a legend among Jingzhou people.

That was before the battle of Guandu. Cao Cao split his troops and marched eastward, defeating Liu Bei. Guan Yu and Liu Bei's two wives were captured. Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu was superior in martial arts and wanted to take him in to serve him, so he sent general Zhang Liao to persuade Guan Yu to surrender. Before Zhang Liao's words were finished, Guan Yu bluntly said, "If Cao Cao wants me to join, I must first meet my three conditions: First, if I surrender, I will only surrender to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, not to Cao Cao; Second, during your stay here, you can not only infringe on Liu Bei's family, but also bear the living expenses of his family; Third, once I know the whereabouts of Liu Bei, I will go to him immediately. These three conditions are indispensable, otherwise, I will not stay! " Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was eager for success and everyone agreed.

After Guan Yu took Liu Bei's family back to Xuchang with Zhang Liao, Cao Cao set aside a house for him to live and enjoy in order to buy Guan Yu's heart. Then, treat Guan Yu as a guest, "three days of small banquet, five days of big banquet." At the same time, Guan Yu is often given a lot of gold, silver, pearls, colored silk and other things, saying that "I hope to accept it." Guan Yu did not refuse, and gave all these gifts to Liu Bei's two wives. Besides, Cao Cao saw Guan Yu's war horse was not good, so he gave him his beloved red hare. Guan Yu was unmoved by Cao Cao's flattery, and still often inquired about Liu Bei.

One day, Cao Jun caught two people from other places. Guan Yu saw that one of them was Sun Gan, Liu Bei's counselor, so he asked the sergeant to bring him in, ordered his entourage to step down, and privately asked Sun Gan about Liu Bei's whereabouts. Sun Gan told Guan Yu that Liu Bei was temporarily under Yuan Shao's account, and asked Guan Yu to protect the two ladies from seeing Liu Bei earlier. Knowing the details, Guan Yu released Sun Gan and told the news to Liu Bei's two wives. The two ladies said that Guan Yu should try to leave Cao Cao and stay away from him as soon as possible before it is too late.

Guan Yu is a honest man, so he went to the Prime Minister's office to say goodbye to Cao Cao. Who knows that Cao Cao had expected Guan Yu to have this trick, so he asked people to hang the avoidance sign at the door in advance and not see the guests. Guan Yu couldn't get in, so he went back to the people's homes gloomily and told his entourage to pack up their cars and get ready to start. The next day, he went to the Prime Minister's office to say goodbye to Cao Cao, and saw the sign of avoidance hanging on the door. What's so strange about this? It turned out that Cao Cao thought he was polite to Guan Yu and had the grace not to kill him. As long as he didn't meet him, he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. In this way, Guan Yu stayed However, Cao Cao miscalculated. Guan Yu thought, if Cao Cao doesn't see me, I'll say goodbye to Zhang Liao, lest others say that I'm not loyal and leave without even saying hello. Soon, Guan Yu came to Zhang Liao's house, and the doorman said that Zhang Liao was suddenly ill and could not meet each other. Now Guan Yu has come to his senses: this must be Cao Cao's ghost idea, which made me "close the door" again and again in order to keep people. So, he immediately made up his mind: "36 plans, walking is the best policy", this is not a place to stay for a long time!

Guan Yu returned to his residence, wrote a letter and sent someone to the Prime Minister's office. Then the lobby was hung with the "Hanshou Pavilion to be sealed" awarded by Cao Cao. Then, Cao Cao's gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and silk were counted and all were left. In order to keep the truth of the facts, he attached a clear account book according to the four items of "original, receipt, issue and deposit". The "original" of this is how many gifts Cao Cao gave Guan Yu; "Receiving" refers to how many gifts Guan Yu received from Cao Cao truthfully; "Going out" refers to how many gifts Guan Yu spent during this period; "Province" means how many gifts are left before Guan Yu leaves. Guan Yu's concise bookkeeping method was copied and used by traditional businessmen in later generations, and was called the design inventor of "commercial bookkeeping method" by the world.

Therefore, Guan Yu, who has an arithmetic mind and is famous for his faithfulness, was naturally called "Wu Caishen" by businessmen. At present, many self-employed people in Jingzhou, even collective commercial shops, will worship the statue of Guan Yu in order to pray for wealth.

Why is Guan Yu worshipped as the God of Wealth? In fact, Guan Yu is not a god of wealth, but he is the embodiment of righteousness. Businessmen are more afraid of making friends with villains, so businessmen hope to drive away these unjust people and bless their business. Over time, he became the patron saint of businessmen.
