As the Spring Festival approaches, the arrangement of the 10th temple fair in Lianhuachi Park has also entered the countdown. A "Wudang Five Immortals Temple" with the theme of Jin Yuanbao, Jin Chan and the Five Immortals of God of Wealth was completed in the park. I hope citizens and tourists will have good luck and make a fortune in the coming Year of the Tiger.

Basic introduction Chinese name: Wuxian Temple of Wealth was established when: Ming Dynasty location: China Beijing traffic information: Lianhuachi Park related celebrities: introduction of Wuxian Temple of Wealth, making money into treasure, activity scenes, rubbings of inscriptions, and origin of Wuxian Temple of Wealth. Wuxian God of Wealth Temple was built in Ming Dynasty, located near Lotus Pond, commonly known as Five Brothers Temple, and dedicated to five sworn brothers. During the Spring Festival, it is an important activity for many old Beijingers to pray and borrow gold ingots at Wuxian Temple of Wealth. Early the next morning, people rushed to the Temple of Wealth from Caishikou and Guang 'anmen by vehicles such as carts or donkeys pulled by livestock to compete for the first incense. Located in the southwest square of Lianhuachi Park, Wuxian God of Wealth Temple is set in red and gold, and the layout theme highlights the word "wealth". I saw a big circle of gold ingot walls around the temple of the god of wealth, which contained big copper coins and gold toads that could bring wealth. "The five gods of wealth are auspicious, and the sincere gods of wealth are brilliant ... Today you ate boiled ingots, and the fortune in the coming year is unstoppable. Today, you ate a bunch of red fruits, and your stock was on the red list. " Mr. Ma, a citizen, worships the Five Immortals of God of Wealth very devoutly. "The stock of the Year of the Ox is quilted, and I hope that the Year of the Tiger will be untied." Mr. Ma smiled and told reporters about the wish of the Year of the Tiger.

Citizens want to make a good start at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger and get more money. The reporter saw that the most attractive thing at the temple fair was a huge gold ingot, and the citizens lined up to touch the ingot and rushed to take photos with it. The "playing with the God of Wealth" in the temple fair attracted many children to become "God of Wealth". The official activities of the "Five Immortals Temple of Wealth" at the event site are counted from the second day of the first month. In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, except for the rich and dignitaries, most pilgrims who went to the Temple of Wealth rode bicycles. Most of them wear various satin cotton gowns, coats or vests and thin felt hats. Pilgrims leave Guang 'anmen and go south from downtown. Of course, it is basically downwind (because Beijing is more northwest in winter). But as soon as you get out of Guang 'anmen, you have to go against the wind.

Paper fish, decorated with bamboo sticks, tied with white thread for carrying; There are also gold and silver ingots made of clay tires and gold and silver foil, which are also tied to bamboo pieces. There is also a noisy windmill. This kind of windmill is made of thin bamboo strips and colored paper strips and pasted into wind wheels, which are installed on the grass frame. Each wind wheel has a pair of small drum legs tied with white lines, beating a small drum covered with mud paper. When the wind blows, it keeps ringing.

This kind of windmill is single, with four or even a dozen connected together. In the evening, when the sun sets, as long as you stand on the street, you can see one bike after another forming a fast-moving traffic flow.

The pilgrims' desire for money is sincere, and they won't care about hitting you! More than a mile near the Temple of Wealth, the roadside is filled with stalls of incense and paper. The first thing to do when entering the temple is to meet the god of wealth. I saw incense in the temple, brightly lit, candlelight, and melodious bells and pans. At this time, outside the temple, it was bustling and crowded. After worshipping God, you can taste some Beijing-style snacks in the temple, and the most important thing is to "invite" some unique new goods. There are red velvet flowers and gold paper flowers with different sizes of "blessing" and "longevity"; There are also red pilgrims, half a foot long and half a foot wide, printed with golden scales and auspicious words such as "more than good luck" and "good luck". A windmill, big or small, is inserted in the light fork in front of the car, and a string of gold and silver ingots and red paper scales are hung on the handlebar. Red velvet flowers, gold "blessings", "longevity" and peacock feathers are inserted in the gaps in the felt hat ribbon-they return home in triumph. Only the windmill buzzed along the way, and the paper fish fluttered with the wind; I also saw the triumphant pilgrims beaming with smiles, as if they had received endless financial resources from Marshal Zhao Gong. When I got home, the velvet flowers were given to my family, and the gold ingot and peacock feathers were inserted in the duster bottle of the god table, and the windmill was hung high on the unique jujube tree in the courtyard of Beijing residential houses. At this time, the eyes are full of happiness, and the windmill is full of years. Really "I have a taste in my heart"! Dongyue Temple, about five miles away from Chaoyangmen, is also one of the key temple fairs during the Spring Festival. Dongyue Temple is majestic and tall, with extraordinary momentum. Especially the "glazed archway" opposite the mountain gate is a must. This arch is made of yellow and green glazed tiles with relief. About six or seven meters high and ten meters wide, it stands in front of Dongyue Temple. Epitaph rubbings rubbings of the Five Immortals Temple of Wealth in Old Beijing during the Qianlong period. It records the origin of the Five Immortals Temple of Wealth and the whole process of restoration and construction, as well as the piety of believers in that era and the efficacy of the Five Immortals Temple of Wealth. However, this Wuxian Temple was demolished when the overpass was built in 1987. At that time, my "intentional" friend extended an inscription on the wealth Wudang Five Immortals Temple, but this inscription no longer exists, only two hundred-year-old trees remain in the world, and now this inscription extension is the only witness in the world!

According to research, this prestigious wealth, Wudang Five Immortals Temple, has taken shape since the end of Yuan Dynasty and has a historical background of nearly 700 years. It was rebuilt many times in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and has been preserved until 1957. During the Cultural Revolution, it was used as a primary school until 1986. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, incense was very prosperous until the end of 1950s. At that time, believers and people who prayed for incense were very crowded, and even people who prayed for money had to put incense outside the mountain gate of this temple ..... This "Five Immortals Temple of Wealth" was already the best in Beijing at that time. Famous, incense is very prosperous; God of wealth project; When I was a child, I heard the old people say, "There is Jinshan Temple in the south; There is a god of wealth temple in the north. This "rubbings on inscriptions" really has high collection value and consecration effect, and it is an extremely precious "consecration" sacred object for worshippers and devout people who "please" the God of Wealth. It is said that the five gold characters on the five signboards of the Temple of Wealth on the archway in front of the temple are the imperial calligraphy of Emperor Qianlong, and the writing style of this "rubbings" is also very good. During the Qianlong period, most people were not qualified to write, at least they were written by imperial academy Bachelor. The "running script" of the inscription is also worthy of today's appreciation. As far as the internal meaning of "God of Wealth" is concerned, it is powerful today, and it is also the first believer in the world to "worship"; Believe in the holy things! According to myths and legends, it is recorded in the ruins of the casting tripod that the five brothers, Chai Xing, were the five great gods of wealth in the Southern Qi Dynasty. The eldest brother is Chai Xiancong, the second is Chai Xianming, the third is Chai Xianzheng, the fourth is Chai Xianzhi, the fifth is Chai Xiande, and all five brothers are hunters.
