What does the god of wealth mean?

The God of Wealth Festival is a festival for the Han and Tu people in China to worship the God of Wealth.

The fifth day of the first month, commonly known as the Broken Fifth Festival, is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in China. It is named after China folklore, and many taboos can be broken before this day. Because this day carries too many people's hopes and longings, there are many taboos in ancient times, such as having to eat jiaozi, not cooking with uncooked rice and not letting women visit.

According to the Chronicle of Yanjing Years Old, the fifth day is called "Breaking Five", during which uncooked rice is not allowed to cook and women are not allowed to go out. On the sixth day, the princess, your Lord and eunuch greeted each other, and the newly-married woman returned to Ning that day, and the merchants gradually began to trade. It is also recorded in "Double-type banknotes cleared at the beginning of the first month"

The custom of God of Wealth Day

The fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, commonly known as breaking the fifth. On this day, a custom called "driving out the five poor" became popular in many places. People get up at dawn, set off firecrackers and clean up. Set off firecrackers in every room, go outside the door and say that we should blow out all unlucky things, all monsters and ghosts, and keep them as far away from us as possible.

Cleaning is a thorough cleaning. The garbage in every house has been cleaned out. Generally, cleaning can only be done on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month and the fifth day of the first lunar month, but you can only sweep the floor in the house. Garbage can only be placed in the corner of the house first, especially on the first day of the New Year. You can't move the broom. If you move it, you will lose your good luck.

But on the day of the fifth lunar month, it is necessary to have a thorough cleaning. When the garbage was swept out of the house and swept to a corner, firecrackers were put outside the house, so a huge firecracker was brought, placed on the garbage dump, lit, and bang. After the ceremony, people said: Now, all the poor and needy people have been driven away! Then eat.
