Where should the statue of Guandi God of Wealth be placed? Please ask a Taoist priest to consecrate the temple before entering.

If it is not convenient to find a Taoist priest to consecrate the consecration, you can also consecrate the consecration yourself. The things you need to prepare are: new washbasin, new towel, new mirror, burning incense, red candles, then find a quiet time and place, place offerings in front of the statue, Light incense and candles, assuming that your body is clean, and most importantly, your hands are clean. After all preparations are completed, kowtow three times to the statue. After getting up, use a basin to fill the yin and yang water with clean water. Wet the towel with cold but not hot water and wipe it all over, starting from the head of the statue, before and after wiping it. After wiping it, take a look at it from head to toe with a mirror. After that, burn incense again, serve three cups of tea, and then kowtow. , burn yellow paper, any quantity. The consecration is completed.

3. After selecting, you should pick it up from the base of the Guan Gong statue. Do not hold the head and hands of the Guan Gong statue.

4. Choose an incense burner at the same time. The incense burner must be made of copper. The attribute of copper is gold, which means wealth. When inviting Guan Gong, you should ask for an incense burner with the words "Buddha's Light" printed on it (but if you want to invite a Buddhist, you should ask for an incense burner with the words "Buddha's Light Shines"). The height of the incense burner must not be higher than the Dantian of Guan Gong's statue.

5． Choose a pair of candlesticks. There should be two red lights on the candlesticks. The candlesticks should be preferably made of copper. 6． Then choose a piece of gold ingot, which is best used when worshiping gods and Buddhas. If you invite Sanqing Tianzun, you have to choose three gold ingots. How many gold ingots you want to invite.

Choose a pair of offering plates, which are used to offer fruits and other items. Choose another pack of delicious scents.

10. After selecting these items, wrap the Guan Gong statue in red cloth or red paper. This is to prevent some evil spirits from attaching to the body of the god and Buddha before it is consecrated. 11. Turn the face of the Guan Gong statue outward, that is, you and the face of the Guan Gong statue are facing the same direction. Do not let the Guan Gong statue face you.

1. When worshiping Wu Caishen, the face must not face inward. You can only face the outside of the house to suppress the evil spirits and prevent the evil spirits from entering the house.

2. When worshiping Wu Caishen, two Wu Caishen cannot be worshiped at the same time. 3. The statue of Guan Gong must be placed against the wall, just like we have a backer. The incense burner, vases, gold ingots, offering plates, and candlesticks must be all available. 4. The height of the statue of Guan Gong is: the base of the statue of Guan Gong should be at the same level as your own head. This is what it means to see gods three feet up.

Three sticks of incense mean that you are in urgent need. Just like the law, it is asking God for help, so don’t wear three sticks of incense every day.

Whether you worship the God of Wealth or Guan Gong to attract wealth depends on which aspect you focus on. There are three gods of wealth in China. One is Marshal Zhao Gong, who is responsible for attracting wealth and treasures, and the other is Bigan. One of them had his heart ripped out by King Zhou. Of course, a heartless person will not be partial. The Lord is just, fair and honest, and treats everyone equally. The other is Guan Gong. Guan Gong is the embodiment of loyalty. People regard him as the God of Wealth. When doing business, you must also be loyal like Guan Gong, and don't be greedy for money and only seek profit.

How to place Guan Gong, the God of Wealth, and in what direction he is facing? I hope that the long-lasting belief of Guan Gong will have its own rationality for its existence and development. The wisdom of the people in the world is infinite, and the belief of Guan Gong can be passed down among the people. and development, even spread far and wide at home and abroad, and is admired and respected by all walks of life in the world. The fundamental reason lies in his efficaciousness. So, please don’t talk nonsense or malicious slander. When inviting Guan Gong, in addition to choosing a consecrated and efficacious statue of Guan Gong, the placement of the statue of Guan Gong is also crucial.

It is best to place the statue of Guan Gong, the God of Wu and Wealth, facing north and south, facing the door and at a certain distance from the door. It is usually placed in one-third of the lobby or living room.

When facing south and facing the door, you should first ensure that you are facing the door.

This can not only attract wealth but also control the home, eliminate evil spirits at the door and ensure the peace of the home.

There should be walls on the left and right of Wu Caishen, the so-called green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right.

If there are incense burners and vases placed at the same time, their height should not exceed the statue of Guan Gong.

Placement taboos: Do not face the toilet, kitchen, or bedroom, do not turn your back to the toilet, do not be suspicious of offerings, and do not use malicious words or deception.

If you still have questions, you can go to Guandiju for consultation.

Which god is better for the God of Wealth to worship? Is it Guan Gong, or who is it? Is the God of Wealth statue made of good materials? The God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming

Guan Gong is in charge of loyalty and financial resources! For example, the underworld worships the second brother Guan; the police worship the second master Guan; the hotel owner worships the God of Wealth.

Go get a statue of the God of Wealth! Commonly used are ceramics and clay sculptures!

Why did Guan Gong become the God of Wealth? In the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), Guan Yu's title was 24 characters long, and he was called "the god of loyalty and righteousness, the spirit of martial arts, the blessing of gods, the bravery, the power of protecting the people, the sincerity, appeasement, Yi Zan, Xuande Guan" "Holy Emperor" is unprecedented and amazing. Gongben is a historical figure in the Three Kingdoms era. Guan Yu in the history books only changed from "general" to "hou" and did not become a god. According to the "Three Kingdoms" written by Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty, Guan Yu was a hero in troubled times. He had a beard and was very brave in battle. He and Liu Bei "swore an oath to death" and did not buy into Cao Cao's account. Later, due to the defeat in the Jingzhou War, Guan Yu died in what is now Anyuan, Hubei. In Guan Yu's life, he was granted the title of "Marquis of Han Shouting" twice after killing Yan Liang for Cao Cao. The other time was as "Marquis of Zhuang Miao" by the Shu Kingdom after his death. However, at that time, All historical data do not mention him as a god. So, when did Guan Yu become the God of Wealth? Around the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Guan Yu began to be "deified". According to the Tang Dynasty's "Rebuilding the Yuquan Temple", it records the legend that Guan Yu helped Master Zhi build the Yuquan Temple in the Sui Dynasty. It said, "(Guan Yu) was born as a virtuous man, not a god... The rise and fall of the country, the prosperity and famine of the years, so it has nothing to do with it." ("Quan Tangwen" Volume 6***). According to historical records, Guan Yu was granted the title of former general during the Shu-Han Dynasty and the title of Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu's fiefdom was Liu Shu Han Shoudi, in today's Sichuan. Tinghou was the lowest rank among the five princes in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty granted him the title of King Wu'an, and he was granted the title many times later. In the Ming Dynasty, Wanli was first granted the title of "Emperor of the Three Realms Subduing Demons", and in the Qing Dynasty, he was granted the title ten times. In the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1879), Guan Yu’s title was 24 characters long. He was named "the God of Loyalty, Martial Spirit, Blessing, Braveness, Might, Protection of the People, Sincerity, Appeasement, Praise for Xuande, Guan Sheng Emperor", which was unprecedented and amazing. In the Song Dynasty, people's attention to Guan Yu was reflected in the construction of Guanwang Temple, which gradually became a landscape at that time. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu received the highest Taoist title of "The Great Emperor of the Three Realms Conquering Demons, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun Guan Shengdijun". In the Qing Dynasty, "everywhere from major roads to remote villages, there is no land." The trend of building Guanwang temples continued unabated, and Guan Gong became the patron saint of all walks of life. Perhaps they felt that they did not pay enough attention to Guan Gong, so they asked Guan Gong to take up the post of "God of Wealth" again. So in the Qing Dynasty, Guan Gong's role changed. The reason why Guan Gong's role changed in the Qing Dynasty has a lot to do with the prosperity of private commercial activities during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods. At that time, all walks of life took advantage of the "Three Kingdoms" to serve Guan Gong as their industry god. For example, it is said that Guan Yu once sold tofu when he was young, so the tofu industry worshiped Guan Yu as the god of the tofu industry; the candle industry worshiped Guan Yu as a god because he held candles until the end of the day and abided by the etiquette of his uncle and sister-in-law; what is more interesting is the haircut. industry, butchery industry, knife and scissor shop industry, because their tools are all knives, and Guan Yu’s weapon is the Qinglong Sword, and Guan Gong is also worshiped as a god... Guan Yu’s later image became more profound, and it is not unrelated to various legends. Yang Qingru wrote in the book "Ask It": "Several legends have deepened Guan Yu's image as the God of Wealth. One said that Guan Gong was good at financial management and accounting business during his lifetime. He once invented the bookkeeping method and designed the daily cleaning book, which was clear and clear; It is said that after the death of Guan Gong, the true god often returns to the world to help in the war. If a businessman can get help from Guan Gong after a business failure, he will make a comeback. It can be seen that the businessmen choose Guan Gong as the God of Wealth because of his image of loyalty, punishment of evil, promotion of good, and humiliation of the people. The omnipotent god who protects the people, they very much hope that Guan Gong can protect their lives and property. "There is also a saying that Guan Gong's becoming the God of Wealth is related to Shanxi businessmen. Shanxi businessmen regarded Guan Gong as their patron saint when traveling and built temples of Guan Gong in their guild halls across the country. Because they need to take care of each other when traveling around the world and face difficulties together, they often form alliances of brothers with different surnames imitating the "Taoyuan sworn brotherhood", which also makes Guan Gong's virtues of loyalty and loyalty widely spread. Later, Shanxi merchants became the most prosperous in the world, and other businessmen followed suit, and Guan Gong became recognized as the God of Wealth. "In fact, the origin of China's God of Wealth is quite difficult to determine, and the gods worshiped vary from time to time and place. The God of Wealth believed by ancient people is divided into two categories: civil and military. Guan Yu is just the "Martial God of Wealth" among the Gods of Wealth, representing "Integrity" ". In addition to Guan Yu, there were other gods of wealth in ancient China. The "God of Wealth Paper Horse" that appeared among the people during the Southern Song Dynasty should be the original form of the God of Wealth. The Wen God of Wealth evolved from ancient civil servants, such as Bigan and Fan Li; the Wu God of Wealth was of course derived from military attachés. It evolved, such as Zhao Gongming and Guan Gong.

That is, the so-called "righteous God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming, and the "literary God of Wealth" Bigan... >>

How should Guan Gong, the God of Wealth, be placed at home? 1. The God of Wealth and Wealth should be placed on the left and right near the door. Whether it is the Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury, Shou or the Star of Wealth and Silk, they must face the interior of your own house so that you can make a lot of money. On the contrary, if you face the door, you will naturally send money out of the house, so be careful.

2. The God of Wealth, such as Guan Gong or Zhao Gongming, must face the outside of the house, which can not only attract wealth, but also bring peace to the house. Peace is a blessing, and the wealth will be abundant

Why is Guan Gong’s folk image the God of Wealth? Guan Gong, also known as Guan Yu, is a well-known figure in China, and is well known to both women and children. In modern times, more and more people regard Guan Gong as the almighty protector, the god of industry and the god of wealth. The author of "Folk New Year God Statue Picture Exhibition" said: "Guan Gong is regarded as the god of martial arts, the god of wealth and the god of protecting merchants. People meet When there is a dispute, people ask him for his clear vision and decision. When there is a drought, people ask him for rain and medicine for the sick. He is regarded as the most powerful person to drive away evil spirits and evil spirits."

According to a legend recorded in Xu Dao's "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties": Guan Gong's previous life was originally the "Old Dragon of Jie Liang". During the reign of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Hedong for several years, and the old dragon took pity on the people. , that night the clouds and mist arose, and water from the Yellow River was drawn up to bring it down. The Jade Emperor saw that the old dragon violated the destiny of heaven and took the sealed water without authorization, so he ordered Tian Cao to kill him with a magic sword and throw his head to the ground. Pu Jing, a monk in Jie County, found a dragon head by the stream. He put it in a vat in the middle of the hut and chanted sutras and mantras for nine days. When he heard a sound in the vat, he looked up and saw nothing. To the east of the stream, there was a treasure pond in Jie Liang Ping Village. Li Guanyi's family has a baby born, named Shou. He learned from a teacher when he was young and named him Changsheng. Later, he named himself Yu with the courtesy name Yunchang. According to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu was born as a villain and relied on his power to dominate others, so he killed the villain and then traveled around the world. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he formed a "Taoyuan sworn brotherhood" with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, vowing to fight for life and death, and fought together with the rebels to fight for supremacy in the world. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent troops to defeat Liu Bei. Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao. Cao Cao captured Guan Yu and regarded Guan Yu as a loyal man and worshiped him as a partial general. Later, Cao Cao realized that Guan Yu had no intention of staying for a long time, so he used a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, high-ranking officials, and beautiful women to bribe him, but Guan Yu was not moved by money and fame at all. When Guan Yu learned that Liu Bei was at Yuan Shao's place, he immediately made a gold seal and went through five passes and killed six generals to find Liu Bei. Liu Bei proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong and named Guan Yu the leader of the Five Tiger Generals. Cao Cao was furious when he learned about it, and planned with Sima Yi to unite with Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou. Liu Bei worshiped Guan Yu as the "former general" and the governor of Jingxiang County, and ordered him to take Fancheng. Guan Yu divided his troops from Jingzhou to capture Fancheng. Unfortunately, he fell into Lu Meng's plan and lost Jingzhou. He walked to Maicheng at night, was defeated and captured, and died unyieldingly. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" later recorded: After Guan Yu's death, his ghost lingered until he shouted over Yuquan Mountain in Dangyang County, Jingzhou: "Give me my head back!" Pu Jing, an old monk on the mountain, heard this: "The past is not what it is today. Yes, let's not discuss anything... Now that the general was killed by Lu Meng, he shouted, "Give me my head back." But who should I ask for the heads of Yan Liang, Wen Chou (all killed by Guan Yu) and so on? "Guan Yu suddenly realized, and then asked for the heads of others? Convert to Buddhism.

Guan Yu was loyal, courageous, and unyielding throughout his life, and was highly believed by Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guan Yu was extremely prominent and had the title of "King of Martial Arts" and "Sage of Martial Arts". As a result, Guan Yu was regarded by the world as having "all-powerful" magical powers such as Si Ming Lu, assessing imperial examinations, curing diseases and eliminating disasters, exorcising evil and avoiding evil, etc. Among the people, All walks of life paid homage to Emperor Guan, the "Almighty God". The reason why people regard Guan Gong as the God of Wealth is probably because Guan Yu is not moved by gold and silver treasures, which is in sharp contrast to some people in the world who are greedy for profit and have no righteousness.

People in the world, especially merchants, admire Guan Gong's loyalty and trustworthiness, and hope that Guan Gong will be their patron saint to make money. In addition, people hope that merchants will stick to integrity in transactions and regard Guan Gong as a just man to maintain the traditional moral order

If there is a statue of the God of Wealth at home, can I still place a statue of Guan Gong? 1. The God of Wealth should be placed on the left and right near the door. Whether it is the Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury, Shou or the Star of Wealth and Silk, they must face the interior of your house. Can make a lot of money.

2. The God of Wealth, such as Guan Gong or Zhao Gongming, must face the outside of the house, which can not only attract wealth, but also protect the house and keep it safe. Peace is a blessing, and the wealth will flow

Why is Guan Yu called the "God of Wealth"? The origin of the God of Wealth is quite difficult to determine, and the gods he worships vary from time to time and place to place. The God of Wealth is generally believed to include the so-called "official God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming, the "literary God of Wealth" Bigan and Fan Li, the "Wu Wealth God" Guan Yu, the "partial God of Wealth" Wulu Shen, Lishi Xianguan, and the "quasi God of Wealth" Liu Haichan. These gods of wealth can be divided into two categories: literary gods of wealth and martial gods of wealth. The most well-known god of wealth is Zhao Gongming, the "righteous god of wealth".

Guan Gong, also known as Guan Yu, is a household name in China, well known to women and children. In modern times, more and more people regard Guan Gong as the almighty protector, the god of industry and the god of wealth. The author of "Folk New Year God Statue Picture Exhibition" said: "Guan Gong is regarded as the god of martial arts, the god of wealth and the god of protecting merchants.

Regarding the placement of the God of Wealth and Guan Gong, the gods of wealth are divided into civil and military gods. Emperor Wenchang is the god of literary wealth and the patron saint of scholars; Guan Gong and Zhao Gongming are the gods of martial wealth and the patron saint of those who make a living. The birthdays of the civil and military gods of wealth are said to be on the fifth day of the first lunar month. In order to welcome the God of Wealth, according to folk custom, firecrackers are set off at midnight on the fourth night of the first lunar month. When people invite the God of Wealth statue into their homes or shops, they also set off firecrackers to welcome it.

However, in folk belief, the placement of the entrance to the home where the civil and military gods of wealth are invited is very particular. The God of Wealth should be placed on the left and right of the entrance, and must face your own house. The same is true for worshiping the God of Wealth with the three stars of fortune, wealth, longevity, and the Wealth and Silk Star. This way, you can make money and protect the whole family.

However, the God of Wealth, such as Guan Gong and Zhao Gongming, must face the outside of the house. This can not only attract wealth, but also protect the house and keep the family safe. Guan Gong, the god of martial wealth, can be subdivided into two types: Guan Gong in red and Guan Gong in colorful. Guan Gong in red clothes is worshiped at home to keep the house safe; Guan Gong in colorful clothes is worshiped in shops to attract wealth. The statue of Guan Gong from the early Ming Dynasty copied by our company has two clothes in one, which can be enshrined at home or in a shop.

Of course, to attract wealth and keep your family safe, it is not enough just to worship Guan Gong, the God of Wealth and Wealth. The worshipers must regard Guan Gong's "loyalty, righteousness, trustworthiness, and courage" as the principles of their conduct. Guidelines, only in this way can "business prosper all over the world, and financial resources flourish for three countries"
