What should we pay attention to on the God of Wealth Day?

It is human nature to believe in the god of wealth, because everyone has a dream of making a fortune.

Therefore, some old traditions of the festival of the God of Wealth must be known, so get to know them quickly, so as not to be taboo because of ignorance.

Origin of God of Wealth Festival: Speaking of God of Wealth, besides Bi Gan, Guan Yu and Wu Caishen, Li Zhaizu, a fortune star, is also one of the well-known God of Wealth. Caixingjun, also known as increasing wealth and wealth, is a member of increasing wealth. He is wearing a brocade dress and a jade belt around his waist, holding Ruyi in one hand and Yuanbao in the other.

Legend has it that this day is the day when the rich and prosperous stars are enlightened, so the people have the custom of "receiving the god of wealth". According to legend, Chai Rong, Bigan and Zhao Gongming, the northern god of wealth, all celebrated their birthdays on July 22nd, so this day is generally regarded as the God of Wealth Festival. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, let me tell you the rule of "1 Don't touch, 2 don't borrow, 3 don't say, 4 do". Don't understand!

1 Don't touch: Old people often say that you can't touch sharp things on the day of the god of wealth to show your respect for the god of wealth. Legend has it that the god of wealth is also afraid of sharp things. If he accidentally commits a taboo, he will leave his family where his needle and thread are exposed. In addition, the homonym of scissors is "minus", and the needle also means puncture, so the old people think it is unlucky. Therefore, on the day of God of Wealth, the old people pay attention not to touch scissors and needles, so as to pray for people's good luck and fortune. Every year before the arrival of the God of Wealth Festival, people will put away sharp things such as needles and scissors and put them where children can't get them. Although these statements are not scientifically reasonable, psychologically speaking, everyone wants to have good luck and live a rich life, so they still follow the old tradition and try to avoid using these sharp things on this day to leave a good impression on themselves.

Don't borrow money: On the day of God of Wealth, ancestors still said they were afraid to borrow money. God of Wealth Day is a good day to seek and gather wealth. People expect to be taken care of by the God of Wealth and bring blessings and wealth to their families. Therefore, lending money on the same day means distributing wealth and keeping it. It is also unlucky to borrow money from others. Although the money has come in, it belongs to others after all and will be returned to others one day. This is what our ancestors wanted to tell us. Don't be a greedy person. Take good care of your wealth and don't lose it easily. A gentleman loves money, but he still has to work hard to get it. In addition, the God of Wealth Festival is also a "rich day". On this day, we should seize the fortune, and don't easily push away some businesses that are delivered to your door for good luck.

Don't say: the atmosphere of the "God of Wealth Festival" is happy and auspicious. Be careful when you speak, don't be outspoken, and don't say discouraging things, so as not to get into trouble. On this day, we should abide by the teaching of "disaster comes from the mouth", and don't say unlucky words when communicating with others, even when talking to our family members, so as not to ruin our fortune. Now, people are under great pressure. They need money for everything, such as houses, cars and children. Life is not easy. Occasionally, some negative emotions are understandable. However, the god of wealth can't talk nonsense and say something depressing on this day, which will only make the whole family depressed and frown. The god of wealth would not want to stay in such a family. Don't say unlucky things on this day: "It's finished, broken, destroyed and gone", which is very taboo for the elderly. Try not to say anything. Be sure to keep your mouth shut. God of Wealth should say more words that make people feel comfortable and happy, so as to enrich their financial resources and make everything go smoothly.

4 to do: sacrifice to the god of wealth. July 22nd of the lunar calendar is a good day for the God of Wealth to come, and sacrifices are definitely indispensable. In ancient times, people attached great importance to the ceremony of receiving the god of wealth. In many places, people will put fruit offerings and set off firecrackers to worship and greet the rich star king to show their respect for the god of wealth. The scene is very lively. "When firecrackers ring, gold is two thousand!" On this day, every family opens their doors early and sets off firecrackers. Although we can't set off firecrackers now, people still won't forget to put some fruit sacrifices at home to welcome the God of Wealth home.

Party, banquet. On July 22nd of the lunar calendar, the custom of offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth is still grand in many places, especially for businessmen. People often entertain guests and friends to express their gratitude to the God of Wealth, and also take this opportunity to thank relatives and friends for their strong support. Let's sit together and have a reunion dinner. At the banquet, we should thank each other and send each other blessings. I wish you all good luck. On God of Wealth Day, some bosses will also give out red envelopes, indicating that their business is booming and their financial resources are abundant.

Open the door and open the window to meet the god of wealth. According to legend, on God of Wealth Day, every household should open the door and open the window to welcome God of Wealth, and it is forbidden to close the door. Why did you open the door and open the window? Listen to the old man, because the god of wealth may patronize those who really treat him at any time. If the doors and windows of this house are closed, the god of wealth will think that this family is not ready to receive wealth and meet happiness, and will close the door to the god of wealth, so it will not enter charity. Therefore, in the early morning of the God of Wealth Day, every household opens the door to welcome the God of Wealth, hoping that the financial resources at home will be rolling and lucky. Nowadays, high-rise buildings are everywhere in the city, and all the doors are closed. However, on the morning of God of Wealth Day, people still follow the old tradition and open doors and windows to welcome the God of Wealth.

Eat jiaozi. We should also pay attention to food in order to get a good lottery in the God of Wealth Festival. Jiaozi is a traditional food, because the shape of jiaozi is similar to that of Jin Yuanbao, which symbolizes wealth. On the Day of the God of Wealth, every household will pack jiaozi, which is a tribute to the God of Wealth and also indicates that the future life will be rich in financial resources and rich in life. As the saying goes, delicious food is not as good as jiaozi. There are all kinds of fillings in jiaozi. What kind of stuffing does jiaozi eat on God of Wealth Day? There is a lot of pressure here. Celery stuffing means diligence and wealth, so it is called diligence and wealth jiaozi. Jiaozi, who eats celery stuffing, represents a blessing for material prosperity and a blessing and affirmation for hard work and getting rich. Leek stuffing means long-term wealth, so it is a long-term wealth jiaozi. Jiaozi, who eats leek stuffing, is praying for long-term wealth and looking forward to eternity. In addition, jiaozi with Chinese cabbage stuffing means accumulating wealth, while rape stuffing means jiaozi with wealth. On the God of Wealth Festival, jiaozi can also be stuffed with fish, which means Cai Yu horn, beef stuffing means beef horn, and sugar stuffing means adding wealth to jiaozi. In short, people will put all kinds of hopes into jiaozi and be lucky to meet the God of Wealth.

July 22nd of the lunar calendar is the day to greet the God of Wealth. The special activities are different all over the country, but increasing happiness, longevity, wealth and treasure is everyone's expectation and yearning for a better life. This cultural connotation is eternal.
