What does it mean to be a lucky god?

It is a unique belief form of the Chinese nation to support the auspicious god at the age of 20. It originated from the traditional folk beliefs of the Han nationality and mainly spread in the south of China. This belief worships the old star, which corresponds to the word "nian" in the China lunar calendar. The belief centered on the spirit of blessing at the age of 20 is deeply imprinted in folk culture and daily life. People usually worship this old star at the beginning of each year to pray for peace and good luck. The belief of "teratogenic god" occupies a very important position in the traditional culture of China.

The core of auspicious god belief is rural traditional belief. In the agricultural society on which agriculture depends, the sacrifice of Nianxing is closely related to agricultural production. Farmers make sacrifices to the stars of the Lunar New Year every spring to pray for a bumper harvest and stable production in the coming year. Belief in auspicious gods is very important for farmers, which represents the stability and vitality of agriculture.

With the development of modern society, the belief in auspicious gods is gradually weakening. Although the sacrificial ceremony of New Year's Eve is still preserved in some areas, many people worship it only because of traditional factors and respect for history and culture. In recent years, some literary and art workers have made literary creation and artistic expression of the belief in auspicious gods, which has been preserved and passed down to some extent. The belief in Gigi God is the ancient cultural heritage of China. We need a certain historical consciousness and cultural self-confidence to respect and carry forward it, so that these belief forms can continue to shine their unique light in modern society.
