First of all, about the god of wealth.

Li Zhezu's paintings are often juxtaposed with Fu, Lu, Shou Sanxing and XiShen, and together they are Fu, Lu, Shou, Cai and Fu. Among the gods of wealth, Fan Li has the closest relationship with wealth. He was the representative of the rich before his death. Appropriate advance and retreat, indifferent attitude towards fame and wealth, and superb business practices are important factors that make him regarded as the god of wealth. Compared with Li Zezu and Fan Li, Bi Gan was regarded as the God of Wealth because of his loyalty.

The god of wealth was either extremely rich before his death or was appointed to manage the wealth and titles in the world after he ascended to heaven. Sacrificing the God of Wealth has entrusted the working people in China with the good wishes of exorcising evil spirits, avoiding disasters and welcoming good luck.

Guan Gong's image is mighty, not only loyal and touching, but also rich. When placing the Wu Caishen, it should face the outside or the door. Guan Gong is a symbol of loyalty, justice and courage, and is regarded as a warrior and Wu Caishen. A strong image, loyalty to the liver and bravery, can ward off evil spirits, keep peace, turn money into treasure, broaden financial resources and boost authority.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the custom of "receiving the god of wealth" prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, and it is still popular among the people. After the store opened, golden gongs, firecrackers and sacrifices were hung early in the morning to welcome 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.
