What are the God of Wealth in China?

The God of Wealth refers to many people, such as Fan Li and Lu Xing, the fortune stars in Fu Lushou's Samsung. The god of wealth is more common in folk sculptures and woodblock New Year pictures. Most of them are gold-clad jade with crown boots and a white face with a smile, which is suitable for celebrating the Spring Festival and hanging in the hall. The god of wealth was either extremely rich before his death or was appointed to manage the wealth and titles in the world after he ascended to heaven. Most of the gods of wealth did not enter the Taoist system, and there were few classics handed down from generation to generation.

Wenchang Emperor, also known as Zitong Emperor, is the patron saint of China's ancient articles, knowledge and bachelor's degree in imperial examinations, and scholars regard him as the god of wealth.

Fan Li made a fortune by running agriculture and commerce in Qi State. He took his money lightly and distributed it to poor friends and distant relatives. Fan Li can not only make a fortune but also disperse it. He is a rare living god of wealth in people's minds.

After Bi Ganzi's surname, Shang Zhouwang, a famous loyal minister in ancient China, who was from Mo Yi in Shang Dynasty (now in the north of Weihui City), had no choice but to sentence him to death, and later generations respected him as the God of Wealth.

There are three people in Wu Caishen: Zhao Gongming, Guan Yunchang and Zhong Kui.

Guan Yu was brave and trustworthy all his life, unmoved by treasures of gold and silver, and admired by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guan Yu was very prominent and was honored as "King of Martial Arts" and "Warrior Saint". He not only served as the director of the security bureau in Buddhism, but also was listed as a statue of the Temple of Heaven. Merchants even admired Guan Gong's loyalty and trustworthiness, and regarded Guan Gong as their patron saint and Wu Caishen.

People think that Zhao Gongming's four little gods related to wealth are called "treasure hunting", "treasure hunting", "seeking wealth" and "seeking profit", so they become the god of wealth.

Zhong Kui is a "sage" in the traditional culture of China. According to ancient books, he was born in Zhong Nanshan, Chang 'an, in the early Tang Dynasty (according to ancient books, Zhong Kui's hometown was Happy Valley, Zhong Kui's hometown was Shijing Town, Huxia County, Zhong Nanshan, and the middle part of Qinling Mountain in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province). He was born with a leopard head and leopard eyes, and his face was ferocious and his appearance was strange. But he is a talented and knowledgeable person, always upright, upright, and honest with others.
