It is said that there are two different versions about which five ghosts are. Now let's find out.

Five ghosts transport wealth, as the name implies, drives five ghosts to transport wealth and transport other people's wealth to their own homes. The handling of five ghosts is found in China's old novels, saying that five little ghosts can take people's property without opening their doors or smashing their boxes. There are two different versions about who the Five Ghosts are and what they are called, which are briefly described as follows.

The first statement of the Five Ghosts refers to five Yin generals, including Cao Shi, Zhang Si, Li Jiu, Wang Ren and Zhu Guang, or five Yin generals, including Dou Ren, Li Kai, Zhang Wu, Shi Tai and Chu Mian. General Wuyin's Five Ghosts mainly detained ghosts by using Taoist secret methods, so as to carry wealth for those who seek wealth and achieve the result that those who seek wealth get rich quickly.

The second statement of the Five Ghosts means that the Five Ghosts are actually the five gods of Taoism, which was called "Five Gong Ling" by the ancient folks. Legend has it that plague was rampant in Fujian at that time. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the five gods warned people at that time with their lives, sacrificed their own lives, eliminated the spread of the plague and saved one side of the people. Therefore, these five gods were also called the five plagues to eliminate the plague by people at that time.

Since then, the righteous act of the Five Gods has spread to Taiwan Province Province, and has been called "Five Blessingg the Great" by the people of Taiwan Province Province, which means that worshipping the Five Gods can eliminate diseases and plagues and bring wealth and blessings to people. These five gods are: the bells in spring, Zhang, Liu Yuanda in summer, autumn and winter.

The image of Gong Ling is usually one person holding a ladle and an altar, one person holding a purse and a sword, one person holding a fan, one person holding a hammer and one person holding a brazier. Some temples in our country worship five ghosts every year to ensure the safety of all beings and livestock.

People often say that the five ghosts fortune-telling is a Taoist magic circle. Not a single operator, nor a single operator. It consists of several operators, including the Five Ghosts Wang Fu and the Dragon and Tiger Divine Fu directed by Jiang Taigong, and finally the Five Ghosts Wang Fu and the Five Ghosts Fortune Operator. Three operators are indispensable, and only three operators are complete can it be called a complete five-ghost fortune operation.
