When it comes to the most favored gods in the world, the God of Wealth should be at the top. However, if the most unpopular gods are mentioned, the "poor gods" must be on the list.

During the New Year, they all went home to welcome the gods, except for the poor gods, and everyone desperately drove him out. On the sixth day of the first month, send the poor god

This fairy, the most miserable god in history, is precisely a symbol of poverty. Poverty is undoubtedly the most terrible nightmare for those who regard money as their life and money as their first priority. And the poor god is such a fearsome existence.

Although there are various folk legends about the poor god, little is known about his origins.

According to Song Chen Yuanliang's "Guangji of the Year", one of the five emperors, the Zhuan family, gave birth to an unruly son, who preferred shabby clothes, so he was called a poor son.

After the death of the poor son, people held a funeral for him, which was called "sending the poor". Since then, the poor man has become a symbol of the poor god.

Although this is just another name for the poor god, and the specific name is no longer verifiable, it is certain that the poor god is indeed the queen of the famous family.

However, the poor god is hated by the people, so people keep the traditional custom of "sending the poor god" and drive him out by cleaning and other means.

So, why does such an immortal exist? What is the meaning of the poor gods?

In fact, people have a deep misunderstanding of the poor god. There are at least two important aspects to the function of the poor gods. First of all, from a macro perspective, more money is not necessarily a good thing.

What if the God of Wealth distributes wealth uncontrollably, causing inflation? At this point, the first important function of the god of poverty is revealed: to force consumption and curb the inflation caused by the god of wealth.

The balance of heaven is that there is more than enough to make up for what is lacking, which is exactly this truth. Secondly, another important function of the poor god is to temper talents.

The ancients said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles." Only those who have experienced poverty can "be motivated to endure and gain what they cannot do."

Therefore, the second important function of the poor god is to suppress the extravagant pleasures of the world, the character and will of man, and to create talents.

It can be seen that the poor god has played a vital role in the healthy development of civilized society and is an indispensable existence.

So, while poverty is daunting, in reality, the favor of the poor gods is not entirely a bad thing.

As the saying goes, don't bully the poor of the young, don't bully the middle-aged poor, don't bully the old, don't bully the ......In short, it indicates that your future is limitless, and you are at the lowest point before you have room to rise.

So, would you like to welcome this mysterious and significant poor god in your home?
