Who is the God of Wealth?

Question 1: Who does the god of wealth refer to? The god of wealth refers to more than one person. God of Wealth can be divided into two categories: God of Wealth and Wu Caishen. The God of Wealth is Bigen and Fan Li. Bi Gan is Yin's uncle, and he is loyal to his country. When he saw that Zhou Wang fell in love with the demon princess Su Daji, he was dissolute and ruined Zhongliang. He remonstrated with Zhou Wang many times, which caused Zhou Wang's great anger and ripped Bigen's heart out. Because of his frankness, loyalty and justice, later generations respected him as the god of wealth; Fan Li was the minister of Gou Jian, King of Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was resourceful and asked Gou Jian, the king of Yue, to "eat the bread and taste the courage". He also sent beautiful women to make Fu Cha, the king of Wu, dissolute and lose his political power, so that the king of Yue achieved hegemony. After the King of Yue rewarded the meritorious minister, Fan Li went into seclusion. He expected the King of Yue to "share weal and woe but not wealth". Later, when Gou Jian came to power, he killed the hero, which proved Fan Li's foresight. After Fan Li left Yue Wang, he changed his name and surname and went to Qi State to do jewelry business. He made a lot of money and became a millionaire. However, his moral character is noble, and he distributes all the money he earns to relatives, friends and the poor. Finally, he settled down in pottery to spend his old age. Because he was named "Tao Zhugong", it is commendable that Fan Li was able to collect wealth and disperse it, so later generations worshipped him as a god of wealth as an idol.

Zhao Gongming Wu Caishen is a fictional character in the novel The List of Gods. Zhao Gongming was talking about the Luofu Cave in Emei Mountain. He didn't practice in the cave, but went down the mountain to help others. Unexpectedly, after his death, he was named "Golden Dragon God, Ruyi God, Dragon Tiger God and Zhen Xuan King" by Jiang Ziya, and led four "Zhengshen" to welcome the blessings. When Jiang Ziya named Zhao Gongming as the "God of Wealth", he already pointed out that his fatal wound was: "I have no choice but to be warm-hearted, which is like falling into an illusion. When I am in a bad mood, I can't take the right path. " My heart is hot and dreamy. When I fall into a bad environment, I can't return to reality. It was the author who, through Jiang Ziya's words, advised the world not to be delusional when seeking Tao, but to seek good advice from the underground. Just like a couplet: there is a considerable amount of money, you also ask, and he also asks who to give it to; If I do nothing, I will go to church in the morning and at night. what can I do? This is a blow to those who worship the God of Wealth day and night. In addition, it is said that there was a "God of Wealth Temple" in the old days, which was full of incense. A writer who doesn't believe in God wrote a couplet: Strangely, the iron man wandered into our door and became a harmony fan; Don't move San Francisco to China, raise the whip of victory in vain. This couplet uses two allusions. "Harmony addiction" refers to the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, Shao Fu and Jiao. His family is well-off, stingy, searching endlessly and loving money like life. He is called "money addiction", and "winning politics" means that Qin Shihuang visited Penglai to watch the sunrise and drove the stone bridge with his whip. Appreciating these two couplets carefully can make those who worship the "God of Wealth" think twice before acting.

Question 2: Who are the five God of Wealth in China? Zhao Gongming and Fan Li, literary gods of wealth, are partial to Guan Yu, Wu Caishen and Lishi Xian Guan, and quasi-gods of wealth are Liu Haichan.

Question 3: What is the surname of God of Wealth? One or four gods of wealth.

The God of Wealth, as the saying goes, has four in total, just like Wu Caishen in the traditional sense.

(1) Guan Gong: As the Almighty God of China, the God of Wealth is only one of its functions.

② God of Wealth

In the old New Year pictures, Wen Caishen wore the clothes of civil servants, the gauze hat of the prime minister, Ruyi in his hand, an embroidered robe and an ingot. Kind-hearted, smiling.

1, Bigan: Uncle Yin Zhong-hou of Yin Shang was honest and committed suicide by caesarean section because of exhortation. The folklore Bigan was later revived by Jiang Ziya with a panacea. Because I have no heart, I have no prejudice, I am fair and I am innocent. Bigan is regarded as the god of wealth because of his loyalty and lack of compassion.

2. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yue was an important official, helping Gou Jian to get revenge and destroy Wu. There are many legends among the people. The legend about business is that after Fan Li fled, he crossed the ocean to run agriculture and commerce in Qi State, and made a fortune three times and distributed it to the poor three times. Later, he settled in under the name of "Tao (figuratively speaking," escape ") Zhu (the color of the red robe of a senior official) Gong". He is regarded as an idol because he can make a fortune and is willing to distribute his wealth.

(3) Zhao Gongming, Wu Caishen

Zhao Lang, Gong Ming, also known as Zhao Xuantan. Also known as Marshal Zhao Gong or Hei Hu Tan Xuan (The Complete Works of Three Religions Seeking Gods), he is a native of Zhong Nanshan, Shaanxi Province and a fellow countryman of Zhong Kui.

1. In the search for gods in the Jin Dynasty, "three generals" Zhao Gongming appeared as ghosts and gods.

2. During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, it is said that Zhao Gongming and other five plagues came to the world, and Zhao Gongming became one of them.

In Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gongming became one of the eight evil spirits, spreading dysentery to the world, and was later surrendered by Zhang Tianshi. In the novel Romance of Gods, Zhao Gongming became a Taoist practicing in Mount Luofu, Emei. He is skilled in martial arts, riding a Hei Hu, holding a iron whip, and equipped with treasures such as fixing Haizhu and binding dragons. Later, he went out to help others and was shot. Later, Jiang Ziya was named as the God of "Golden Dragon, Ruyi, Dragon, Tiger and Tan Xuan" (that is, "God of Wealth"), which governed Zhao Baonazhen and other four gods, and the image of God of Wealth had begun to take shape.

4. The Three Religions in Search of the Gods records that in the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gongming lived in seclusion in the mountains and had a successful practice, and was named as the assistant commander of Shen Xiao by the Jade Emperor. Later, Zhang Tianshi entered He Mingshan, wearing an iron crown and holding iron whip. He rode Hei Hu (later generations take this as a typical image), guarded Tan Xuan and protected Danfang, and was awarded the Justice Marshal Tan Xuan. Because it can "drive mine to serve electricity" and "buy and sell for money", the public can make it profitable and harmonious. However, if there is something fair, you can pray to God and nothing will go wrong. " The function of wealth management is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the true face of evil spirits gradually fades. The noble God of Wealth was born!

Second, the five-way god of wealth grabbed the road.

The fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the god of wealth. Businessmen and people eager for money burn incense and candles, beat gongs and drums before dawn, and meet the god of wealth at the fifth watch, commonly known as "catching the road." A Qing and Cai Yun's "Zhi Zhu Ci" vividly shows this custom of offering sacrifices to the gods first, which is induced by the mentality of praying for benefits and wealth:

Five days of financial resources for five days, a year of desire for a reward;

Beware of meeting God prematurely elsewhere and rushing on overnight.

Daotou God of Wealth is also called Daotou God of Wealth and Daotou God of Wealth. As a member of the God of Wealth in China, there have been different opinions about the origin of his identity. There are five kinds of popular sayings about "Five-way God of Wealth":

1 refers to Marshal Zhao Gong and his subordinates Zhao Bao Tianzun Xiao Sheng, Nazhen Tianzun Cao Bao, Lucky Messenger Chen Jiugong and Lishi Xian Guan Yao Shaosi. Also known as the "five wealth gods".

It refers to five brothers named Wu who live in Cennan. They were criminals who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and were later arrested and killed. Sticking to ghosts after death can make the poor rich and the rich poor. Also known as "the spirit should be the god of wealth".

3. The name of "Five-way God of Wealth" is He, and the name is Wu Lu. Wuxi County Records records that he was an anti-Japanese hero at the end of Yuan Dynasty, killed by Japanese pirates and regarded as a god by the people.

4. It refers to the "Five Gods", also known as the "Five Gods". It is a demon that runs rampant in rural areas and whores with women. It is called the "Five Gods" because it is good at adultery. The origin is very complicated, referring to the ghost in Liuzhou in Tang Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang said that he paid homage to the war dead, five people were one; One said that it was Japanese pirates who harassed Jiangnan, burned and killed adultery during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In short, the Five Gods are a group of evil wild ghosts. People worship it to avoid pain and get blessings, and blessings will make money. Therefore, it was sacrificed as a god of wealth.

5, refers to the "road god" (also known as "distracted"). The pre-Qin period entered the ritual ceremony, and later there was the saying that there were five parties in the southeast, northwest and China, and there were gods everywhere.

6. It refers to five common gods closely related to people's livelihood security, namely, the land god, the horse (ox) king god, the nun, the god of wealth and the kitchen god.

All the above statements have a background. The image of Marshal Zhao is widely circulated among the people, and the five gods are widely worshipped as idols in temples in the south of the Yangtze River. The connotation of Shen Lu is very strange ... "";

Question 4: Who is the folk god of wealth? As the name implies, they are the gods in charge of wealth. In China mythology, the God of Wealth appeared relatively late, and the God of Wealth can be traced back to the Song Dynasty at the earliest, which is related to the prosperity of commerce after the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the god of wealth worshipped by the people is not only a specific one, but also a positive god of wealth, a partial god of wealth and so on. There are also a few other gods who are not the god of wealth, but are closely related to wealth. The customs of welcoming the god of wealth vary widely from place to place, but in the final analysis, welcoming the god of wealth is a beautiful expectation in people's hearts. If you want to get rich, you can only rely on your own hands.

The origin of the god of wealth

Among all the God of Justice, the God of Wu Wen is well known. Wu Caishen usually refers to Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu, while the God of Wealth is Bigan and Fan Li. Among them, Wu Caishen and Zhao Gongming are the most common.

The origin of Wu Caishen-the earliest existing written record about Zhao Gongming is The Search for God by Gan Bao in the Jin Dynasty. In the story, he was originally a ghost general who took life as his god. In the Yuan Dynasty, he appeared as a plague god again, but gradually became a decent god who could eliminate plague, revenge and reconciliation.

In the Ming Dynasty's popular novel "Romance of the Gods", Zhao Gongming was a general of Shang Dynasty, who helped Master Wen to resist the attack of Zhou Jun, and was killed by Jiang Ziya with his aversion to victory. He is called the God of "Golden Dragon Ruyi is the real king of Tan Xuan" on the altar, and he governs four gods: Zhao Baotianzun Xiao Sheng, Natian Zhenzun Cao Bao, Lucky Messenger Chen Jiugong and Lishi Xian Guan Yaoshaosi. Among them, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi were Zhao Gongming's apprentices, while Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were sworn enemies who helped Jiang Ziya collect Zhao Gongming treasures. Because his four gods are rich in the meaning of God of Wealth, the image of Zhao Gongming's statue of God of Wealth is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In folklore, Zhao Gongming did whatever he wanted all his life, using his good magic to beat Jiang Ziya out of the water. But later, the magic was broken and he surrendered before he died. Tiandi was blinded by pity because of his loyalty, and his financial resources to the people of the world were neither too much nor too little, so he was named "Wu Caishen". Wu Caishen's insistence is to recover the debts of the whole world, so as to achieve justice. Preside over the wealth and justice of the world. His men Zhao Baotianzun, Nadian Zhenzun, Lucky Messenger and Lishi Xian Guan, although their duties are not directly related to wealth, they must get wealth through them. Therefore, it has become the most important folk god of wealth. In addition, Zhao Gongming is also an immortal in the Taoist immortal system. When the altar is completed, it is necessary to offer sacrifices and invite him to preside over the gold and silver treasures dedicated to the immortals.

A little observation of many hotels will reveal that they all worship Guan Gong and regard him as a god of wealth. In fact, Guan Yu is one of the many gods of wealth known for his perseverance. His story can be said to be a household name. Not only did he not touch money, but he even sealed gold, which was a bit anti-wealth, and abandoned his treasure like a lost treasure. Although Guan Gong's personality is not like the god of wealth, his image is deeply loved by the public, especially his loyalty to the liver and bravery in novels and various legends and stories, which is also the requirement of ordinary people for their work partners and partners. Therefore, many businessmen regard Guan Gong not only as the god of financial management, but also as the patron saint of monitoring business integrity.

The Origin of the God of Wealth-Among all the God of Wealth, Tao Zhugong Fan Li may be the most temperament of the God of Wealth. Fan Li was a famous minister who assisted Gou Jian, the king of Yue, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. After successfully destroying the shame of the martial arts cave, he resolutely left Gou Jian, who could share weal and woe, but could not share happiness, and went to sea to do business under an anonymous name, first living in seclusion in Qi State. Because of his proper management and decent business, his wealth accumulated rapidly. But later, in order to escape the fatigue of fame and fortune, he squandered his wealth, and then he went to Guo Tao, where he became Tao Zhugong. Soon he regained much better wealth than before, so he became one of the most famous tycoons in history. With the passage of time and legendary stories, Fan Li was regarded as the god of wealth by later generations. Among the four God of Wealth, Fan Li has the closest relationship with wealth. He was the representative of the God of Wealth and the rich before his death. Proper advance and retreat, not obsessed with fame and wealth, and superb management methods are important factors for him to be regarded as the god of wealth.

Compared with Fan Li, Bigan was regarded as the god of wealth because of his loyalty. Bigan was a minister of Shang Dynasty. Being loyal to Zhou Wang, da ji set a trap and lied that the sage had seven exquisite hearts. He asked Zhou Wang to cut out his heart. Unexpectedly, the heart that was gouged out really had seven, but Bigan was dead. Or da ji faked illness, pretending that he needed to get the exquisite heart of Bigan's Seven Tactics as medicine to attract and get rid of the loyal ministers in the DPRK. He was honest before his death and careless after his death, so he won't have prejudice and prejudice. He is suitable as a god to manage and distribute wealth. Obviously, this is the quality that regards fairness and honesty as the ideal god of wealth, and also shows the general public's desire for fair distribution of wealth.

The god of wealth is more common in folk sculptures and woodblock New Year pictures, most of which are jade belts and crown boots, with a white face and a smile ... ";

Question 5: Who is the archetypal figure of the God of Wealth? There are two kinds of God of Wealth in China: civilian God of Wealth and military God of Wealth.

Guan Gong was the god of wealth with both civil and military skills, Fan Li was the god of wealth in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Zhao Gongming was the Wu Caishen of the Sui Dynasty (in fact, Zhao Gongming was also the god of plague).

There are also five wealth gods among the people, but there are many disputes about the prototype of this wealth god.

With Wen He, they should be equipped with a little god of wealth.

Question 6: Who are the four God of Wealth in China's historical legends? 1, Xi zhouzhi county village, whose real name is Lang, also known as Marshal. Tan Xuan refers to the altar of Taoism, which also means protecting the law. Legend has it that it is the god of wealth;

Actually, Guan Yu is not a god of wealth, but he is the embodiment of righteousness. Businessmen are most afraid of making friends with wicked people, so their families hope to drive away these unjust people and bless their business. Over time, he became the patron saint of businessmen;

3. Bigan: the God of Wealth in Han folk beliefs;

4. Fan Li: He always keeps a clear head, advances and retreats freely, takes self-protection as the foundation, and gains both fame and fortune.

Question 7: Who is the God of Wealth? The god of wealth refers to more than one person. God of Wealth can be divided into two categories: God of Wealth and Wu Caishen. The God of Wealth is Bigen and Fan Li. Bi Gan is Yin's uncle, and he is loyal to his country.

Because he was named "Tao Zhugong", it is commendable that Fan Li was able to gather wealth and disperse it, so later generations worshipped him as a model of the God of Wealth. Zhao Gongming Wu Caishen is a fictional character in the novel The List of Gods. Zhao Gongming was talking about the Luofu Cave in Emei Mountain. He didn't practice in the cave, but went down the mountain to help others. Unexpectedly, after his death, he was named "Golden Dragon God, Ruyi God, Dragon Tiger God and Zhen Xuan King" by Jiang Ziya, and led four "Zhengshen" to welcome the blessings.

A writer who doesn't believe in God wrote a couplet: Strangely, the iron man wandered into our door and became a harmony fan; Don't move San Francisco to China, raise the whip of victory in vain. This couplet uses two allusions. "Harmony addiction" refers to the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, Shao Fu and Jiao. His family is well-off, stingy, searching endlessly and loving money like life. He is called "money addiction", and "winning politics" means that Qin Shihuang visited Penglai to watch the sunrise and drove the stone bridge with his whip. Appreciating these two couplets carefully can make those who worship the "God of Wealth" think twice before acting.

Question 8: Lv Buwei, who are the four folk gods of wealth?

Although Fan Li is regarded as a symbol of the rich and has always been regarded as the ancestor of businessmen by later generations, Fan Li was a general of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, before he went into business. After he retired, he had quite a lot of gold and silver as commercial capital, so his commercial success had objective conditions. On the other hand, Lv Buwei started from scratch and became the richest man in Handan, the capital of Zhao at an early age. Relatively speaking, it is more appropriate to regard Lv Buwei as the originator of businessmen. How Lv Buwei made his first bucket of gold from scratch has not been verified, but it is absolutely impossible to become the richest man in a country at the unmarried age by selling vegetables and a few meat buns. Combined with the history and geographical position of Zhao at that time, the analysis of the way to make money is very enlightening to contemporary people. It can also be seen that he is a business genius, worthy of the title of the originator of businessmen.

Shen Wansan

Three thousand, three shows in ten thousand households, so it is also called three shows. As another name for the super rich, it was born in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wansan, the biggest businessman in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty, lived in a small town in Jiangnan and did all the business in the world. He dared to smuggle salt with the righteous in northern Jiangsu, and dared to trade with the chivalrous men at sea, and later became a giant in Suzhou occupied by the righteous. However, it is inevitable for Hao Xia to try to be brave, and Shen Wansan also failed to avoid vulgarity. Because of his deep pockets, he wanted to support Zhu Yuanzhang's million-strong army and set himself on fire for no reason. Soon, Shen Wansan was sent into exile by Zhu Yuanzhang and spent the rest of his life in Yunnan.

Shen Wansan has left footprints in Zhouzhuang, Suzhou, Nanjing and Yunnan. Shen Wansan always regards Zhouzhuang as his career; Three thousand households are located in the northwest half-mile, that is, Dongzhuang land. The silver list, warehouse, garden pavilion and houses are in contact with each other, and three thousand households still exist in Zhouzhuang. Although he was rewarded by Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't want to leave this treasure land. It can be seen that even his own children and grandchildren will stay in this rich land, and they will spend a lot of money to train them to make the Shenyang family prosperous for a long time.

Hu Xueyan

Born in 1823, Jixi, Anhui. He lost his father when he was very young, his family was poor, and he was an apprentice in a bank when he was young. Just because he was born in poverty, Hu Xueyan knew from an early age that he had to rely on his friends to do things, and helping others meant helping himself. In Taiwan Province writer Levin's Biography of Hu Xueyan, Hu Xueyan met a poor scholar Wang Youling at the age of 20. This scholar is very talented and has the opportunity to be an official, but he lacks the money to go to Beijing to be an official. Although Hu Xueyan didn't know him well, he immediately privately borrowed 500 taels of silver from the bank to Wang Youling. In this way, although he lost his job, he paved a bright future for himself. Wang Youling, an official, regarded it as a difference between life and death, and Hu Xueyan, who was in power, also took advantage of Wang Youling's development in officialdom to open banks, pawn shops and pharmacies to operate silk tea and make a fortune quickly.
