Folk Belief of Han Nationality: The God of Wealth is the god of wealth that China people generally worship.
The god of wealth is a common god in Taoism, and there are many different versions of it among Han people. Zhao Gongming and the god of wealth on the moon are regarded as the gods of wealth, while Li Guizu, Bigan, Fan Li and Liu Hai are regarded as the gods of wealth, and Zhong Kui and Guan Gong are regarded as Wu Caishen who protect the town house. Di Qing, the god of spring, and Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth of the moon, are collectively called "blessings of spring". During the New Year, Er Shen, the sun, the moon and the moon often put them on their doors.
Li Xunzu, a financial star, is also known as "increasing wealth", "God of wealth", "increasing wealth" and "doing good to the public". Li Ming was born in Zichuan, Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Birthday is September 17, and enlightenment day is July 22nd. Emperor Xiaowen of Wei was then the county magistrate of Quliang (now Quzhou, Hebei Province), who was honest and loved the people. After his death, a shrine was built to offer sacrifices. In the second year of Tang Wude (6 19), he was named "King of Wealth Stars" by Tang Gaozong, and in the first year of Tang Ming (926), he was named "Fu, Kindness and Peace", in the Yuan Dynasty (127 1- 1368). Quzhou County, Handan City, Hebei Province has a "Zengfu Temple" and a Li Xiang graveyard dedicated to Li Xunzu.
the God of Wealth
Zhao Gongming
Zhao Gongming
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Zhao Xuantan, Handan's grandfather, was the most respected person. Many shops and houses are dedicated to his woodcut statues: the Xuan altar looks like the bottom of a pot, holding Strafe in his hand and riding Hei Hu, which is extremely powerful.
"Wu Caishen" Guan Sheng Dijun is Guan Yu's Yunchang. It is said that Guan Yunchang managed the military horse post station and was good at counting, which made his invention increasingly thin and stressed credit and loyalty, so he was worshipped by merchants. Generally speaking, businessmen regard Guan Gong as their patron saint, and Guan Gong is also regarded as the god of wealth. Businessmen who believe in Guan Di Sheng Jun will sacrifice, set off firecrackers and burn gold paper for Guan Gong on the fifth day of the first month, and ask Guan Di Sheng Jun to bless a prosperous year.
Zhao Gongming
Specializing in Handan, the god of wealth on earth.
The most influential is Taoism, the god of wealth worshipped by the world, Zhao Gongming. Master Han Dan is a rogue god commonly known among Han people, and the correct name is Master Handan. Because the people he worshipped in his early years were generally local horns (underworld bosses), horns could not read, and he mistakenly wrote Handan as Handan, or even Handan. Whether it is Han Dan, Han Dan or the bombing in Handan Pavilion, they are all "the same family". As long as this unique local folk custom can continue to be passed down and carried forward, it is the common wish of all believers. 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". Anyone who buys and sells money is satisfied as long as he prays for Zhao Gongming, so the Han people regard him as a 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.
Bigan

After Bigan's death, he was named Wenqu Star and Beidou Four Star. Another name is Guo Shen, which is the door that Lu is guarding. In Fu Lushou, Lu is a bigan. The other is called Justice Fulu, the God of Wealth and the real king. Celestial officials, literature, wealth, respect for god, etc.
The "God of Wealth Temple" of Baiyun Temple is located on the right side of the "Jade Emperor Hall" (the god dedicated to the Jade Emperor), which is very conspicuous and not difficult to find. I want to put you guys in such a prominent position, is it also to conform to the convenience of secular psychology? There is a guide map at the entrance of the "Treasure Hall", which says that the three gods of wealth enshrined in the hall are in the middle of the hall, with Marshal Wu Caishen Zhao Gongming on the left and Emperor Wu Caishen of Guan Sheng on the right. Climbing the stairs and entering the temple, I found three golden statues, which were shining brightly and worshiped by the vast number of good men and women. On the tablet in front of the statue, it says "Justice is a blessing, a true king", on the tablet in front of Marshal Zhao's statue, it says "Justice is a dragon and tiger, a true king", and on the tablet in front of Guandi's statue, it says "Faithful to God, Weiyuan Town, Tianzun".
fan li
Tao Zhugong, he 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. He was also a big businessman who made money well and was honored as a "merchant saint" by later generations.
Guan Yu
Loyal and reliable Guan Gong.
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. 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. "
Liu Haichan
A quasi-god of wealth who scatters money to help the poor.
Among the numerous gods of wealth believed by the Han people in our country, one can only be regarded as a quasi-god of wealth, that is to say, it has not won the title of god of wealth. However, because this god can bring people a certain fortune and bear some responsibilities of the god of wealth, people regard it as the god of wealth. Liu Haichan is one of the most representative prospective wealth gods.
Nanhai god of wealth
According to Buddhist scriptures, avalokitesvara made twelve wishes, and the second wish was to "live in the South China Sea".
Li Huizu
In the official part of "San Xu Zichuan County Records" published in 9 years of the Republic of China, namely 1920, there is a record about increasing the god of wealth Li Zizu:
"North hence progenitor, emperor xiaowen, for the song and zhou dynasties. 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 shrine for Li Xunzu, offering sacrifices 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.
Wang hai
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.
Li's four imperial titles?
There are at least four times in history about the title of Li Guizu. 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.

The god of wealth cursed the editor
The curse of the god of wealth is divided into five gods of wealth, namely yellow god of wealth, white god of wealth, black god of wealth, red god of wealth and green god of wealth. Huang Caishen, whose Tibetan name is Lasebo, is the patron saint of esoteric religion and the first of all the gods of wealth. Huang Caishen is one of the five major wealth gods generally supported by various sects of Tibetan Buddhism. Because his body is yellow, he is called Huang Caishen. In order to make the secret traveler rich, not forced by life, feel at ease and give the traveler wealth.
Huang Caishen has two arms on one side, and the five Buddha crowns are headdresses. He is short and big, with strong arms. He holds Braga Ruyibao in his right hand and spits out treasure rats in his left. He is dressed in a celestial suit, blue lotus flowers and jewelry garlands as decorations, and he misses the beads on his chest. Bend your left foot, step on the conch treasure with your right foot, and sit on the lotus moon wheel with your wishful thinking. By practicing the Dharma of Huang Caishen and reciting his secret mantra, you can gain the protection of Huang Caishen, help you increase your wealth, longevity, intellectual, material and spiritual benefits, free yourself from life and all economic oppression, and make you feel at ease. However, practitioners of Buddhism need to show supreme bodhicitta, be generous in planting green plants and be diligent in Ofuse. Never be greedy, protect the law and reduce crime. [2]?
Huang Caishen, that is, Huang Jingang, is kind-hearted, wearing a crown, bare chest and abdomen, jewelry, jewelry earrings, jewelry bracelets and jewelry ankles, wearing a silk skirt on the top and a silk skirt on the bottom. He sat majestically in the middle of the lotus throne with a flame in his right hand and a sable in his left hand.
Thangka, the mantra of the five gods of wealth.
There are auras, auspicious clouds and distant mountains behind him. Can increase happiness, longevity, wisdom, material and spiritual benefits. Managing wealth can lift all living things out of poverty and enrich their financial resources.
The white god of wealth, also known as the king of white treasures, is the compassion of avalokitesvara. One of the protectors of the God of Wealth in Tibet is called "Zamburru Garbu" in Tibetan, which means the white god of wealth. Because of the dragon as a mount, it is also known as riding a dragon, Bruking Kong. Its merit is to eliminate disease, all poverty and make all living beings rich.
The method of Bai Caishen is the wealth dedicated to the yogi, which is of great merit. On the premise of whether the yogi can develop bodhicitta, the yogi should take avalokitesvara's mercy as the foundation, always give without giving, take care of the poor, and naturally achieve his goal. It is very important not to use the money you earn for your own enjoyment.
This God of Wealth is slightly different from Huang God of Wealth and Black God of Wealth, and is completely angry. He wore a crown with five skulls and a flame symbolizing anger on his head. Three eyes, big mouth. Three halberds in the left hand, short sticks in the right hand, and sometimes ropes in both hands on the chest. He sat on the dragon for comfort. The dragon bared its teeth, its head and tail cocked high. The dragon has four feet. The right foot in front of it steps on a round object. This god of wealth is also common in Tibetan Buddhist temples.
The Black God of Wealth, whose hidden name is Zang Granapo, is the King Kong immortal Buddha in the Oriental Buddha. In order to benefit all living beings and get them out of poverty, in tantric schools, the black god of wealth is regarded as an immediate god of wealth among the five gods of wealth, and even called the god of wealth.
The Black God of Wealth is the immortal Buddha in the East of Five Dhyani Buddhas, and it is the realization of getting rid of poverty for the benefit of all beings. Black and blue, hence the name. The most important merit is to get rid of all the entanglements against fate and make all the good wishes come true and complete. This statue is short and fat, with a paunchy belly, red and black skin, naked eyes, naked eyebrows, wearing a jewelry crown, decorated with eight dragon kings, erect genitals, glowing backrest, vigorous belly, holding a blood skeleton in his right hand chest and a treasure mouse in his left hand, both of which are enough to bend right and stand upright left, standing on his yellow back and holding wealth in his hand.
The black god of wealth is a symbol of staying away from all tricks of taking justice, which means self-sufficiency and self-purification. Taking the Buddha's crown as the headdress shows the meaning of Buddha's great compassion; Naked body shows great sorrow, also known as naked body without attachments, spotless, everything clear, wash away dirty dust; Holding the skull to express inner sadness; Holding a gray ferret shows that it satisfies the desire of all beings to seek wealth. By practicing the law of the black god of wealth, you can get its protection, eliminate obstacles such as enemies, theft and illness, and increase everyone's wealth.
The Red God of Wealth is the God of Wealth with boundless merits in the Sakyamuni Secret Law. All sects of Tibetan Buddhism have related ceremonies. Among the Sakya Sect, the esoteric methods and teachings of the Red God of Wealth are particularly valued. Sakya Sect evokes the soul to see Bala, which is a red law of wealth. This statue has a ruddy complexion, so it is called the Red God of Wealth.
The green god of wealth is the boundless bright Buddha in the west, which is produced for the benefit of all beings to get rid of poverty. The Tibetan name "Chambalawobo" is called the green god of wealth because of its green skin color. The green god of wealth is one of the five-color gods of wealth, the guardian of the god of wealth and the law, and a very beneficial cause in Bonini's teaching method of the god of wealth.
