The origin of the god of wealth's birthday

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. Business in the silk shop is very bad, so the owner is very depressed. On the night of July 2 1 day, he had three identical dreams in succession.

I dreamed that he was in charge of the business in the shop. Suddenly, an old man with long hair and a gray beard came outside the door. As soon as he came in, he sat in the chair and said to him, tomorrow is my birthday. No one has celebrated my anniversary for many years. Can you help me celebrate my birthday? Who will help me celebrate my birthday? I guarantee that his business will prosper.

Boss Zhou is a kind person and a businessman. I don't think it's a big deal. I can get a good luck for my business, so I did it.

Early the next morning, he prepared incense paper, offerings and firecrackers early. Under the command of the old man in the dream, firecrackers were set off to celebrate his birthday and worship his ancestors. Strangely, when the paper money was burned, many people came to watch the excitement that day, and many people bought it in the store. The shopkeeper's business is just curiosity.

People flocked to the store to cut silk fabrics, and the originally deserted business immediately flourished. Shopkeeper Zhou's greetings to the god of wealth were quickly spread by the busybodies, so the custom of welcoming the god of wealth on July 22 of the lunar calendar was formed and has been passed down to this day.
