"the origin of the god of wealth festival"

According to legend, during the Guangxu period, there was a shopkeeper named Zhou in the ancient city of Jimo who ran a cloth and silk shop called "Chun Xing Yong". On the night of July 2 1 day, he had three identical dreams in succession. In the dream, he clearly remembered that he was in charge of business. Suddenly, an old man with long hair appeared outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he sat in the chair and said to him, "Tomorrow is my birthday. No one has given me a birthday for many years. Who will give it to me to ensure his business is booming ... "Boss Zhou is a businessman. In order to get lucky, he prepared incense paper, offerings and firecrackers early the next morning. At the order of the old man in the dream, we set off firecrackers to worship our ancestors ... Strange to say, many people came to watch the fun that day. After reading it, they all flocked to the shop to cut silk and silk, and the originally deserted business immediately flourished.

The greetings from the shopkeeper Zhou were quickly spread by the busybodies, so every store in Jimo City followed suit on July 22nd of the lunar calendar, and it has been passed down to this day, forming the custom of greeting.
