China's ancient folk customs have been lost, and even one person can't tell the three gods of wealth apart. Alas!

There are three gods of wealth sacrificed by China people, namely Caixing, Li Juezu, Fan Li and Bigan. Is a citizen of Zhao.

Li zhaizu, the god of wealth, is the most popular among the people. His paintings are often juxtaposed with Samsung and Western gods, and are called "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou". Together, it is called "Fu, Lu, Shou, Cai and Fu". The portrait of the god of wealth is elegant and distinguished, wearing a crown, a red robe, a white face and a long beard, smiling, holding "Ruyi" in his left hand and "cornucopia" in his right hand, with the words "lucky money and treasure" written on it. The two boys behind him fanned the sun and the moon for him. Zuo Qinglong, you Baihu, spit money and spit gold ingots. It seems that this god of wealth is omnipotent and has inexhaustible gold and silver treasures. During the Spring Festival, people will hang this painting in the main hall and pray for good luck.

Among the gods of wealth, Fan Li has the closest relationship with wealth. He was the representative of the rich god of wealth before his death. Proper advance and retreat, indifferent attitude towards fame and wealth, and superb management methods are important factors that make him regarded as the god of wealth.

Bigan is 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 a saint has seven delicate hearts. He asked Zhou Wang to cut out his heart. Unexpectedly, the heart really has seven, and Bigan is dead. Or da ji faked illness, pretending that he needed to get the exquisite heart of Bigan's seven strategies 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 was impartial and suitable for managing and distributing wealth as a god. Obviously, this is the quality that regards fairness and integrity as the ideal god of wealth, and also shows the general public's desire for fair distribution of wealth.
