Introduction: On the fourth day of the first lunar month, welcome the God of Wealth, keep in mind that '1 must be welcomed, 3 must be eaten, and 4 must be done', and the old tradition cannot be lost.
In addition to the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other large festivals, there are also some smaller festivals, such as the Little Year Festival before the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival in the Spring Festival, and the Qingming Festival in the Qingming Festival.
Today I would like to introduce to you the old traditional custom of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
The fourth day of the first lunar month is known as the "God of Wealth Day". In Chinese folk beliefs, the gods are in charge of wealth, so on this day people will carry out a series of rituals in order to obtain the blessing of the god of wealth, and in the new year, the wealth will be abundant and business will prosper.
First of all, we need to understand a concept that in folk beliefs, it is very important to welcome the God of Wealth on this day, so it is necessary to "welcome" rather than "worship".
We should first welcome the God of Wealth into the house at the main entrance of the house, not in the kitchen or toilet. The reason for this is that the kitchen and toilet are filthy places and are not suitable for the inhabitation of the gods, and the ceremony of welcoming the God of Wealth should be carried out in a clean and sacred place.
In the process of welcoming the God of Wealth, you should keep your home clean and bright, do not place clutter, and do not let the light in your home be dim. Because such an environment is not conducive to the residence and observation of the God of Wealth, it may affect our fortune in the New Year.
In addition to welcoming the God of Wealth, there are some other activities to be carried out on the fourth day of the first lunar month
Such as:1Boiled rice balls. In China, tangyuan is a very popular food, symbolizing reunion and harmony. Therefore, it is very appropriate to cook rice balls on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
2.Buy new clothes. In folk beliefs, new clothes can bring new luck and good fortune, so it is also very appropriate to buy new clothes on this day.
3.New Year's greetings. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, we visit our relatives and friends, send them blessings and gifts, and express our gratitude and blessings.
4.Set off fireworks. In the evening, we can celebrate the day with fireworks and make it a fun evening for family and friends.
Finally, old traditions cannot be lost. In the process of welcoming the God of Wealth, we must maintain a sincere attitude, so that we can be blessed by the God of Wealth. At the same time, it is also necessary to let children participate in this process, so that children can feel the charm of traditional culture and cultivate their love for traditional culture from an early age.
The old traditional customs not only let us feel the strong festive atmosphere, but also let us know more about the traditional culture.
On this day, let us keep it clean and tidy, make offerings, do housework, and sincerely welcome the God of Wealth, hoping that He will bring us blessings and wealth.
In short, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, we should keep in mind the old tradition of welcoming the God of Wealth, and carry out a series of sacrificial activities, in order to make a lot of money and business prosperous in the new year. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the cleanliness and brightness of the home, so as to create a good environment for the living and observation of the God of Wealth. I wish you all the best and prosperity in the new year!
We must keep in mind that 1 should be welcomed, 3 should be eaten, and 4 should be done. Welcoming the God of Wealth should be clean and neat, eat sweets to eat happiness, do good deeds well, and at the same time maintain the old traditions, so that our family and business will be more happy and successful in the new year.
