Because there is more than one God of Wealth in Chinese mythology, the most well-known God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth in the Middle Road.
In the Romance of the Gods, Zhao Gongming is a great ** of the Ten Thousand Sects, holding an iron whip and a black tiger under his crotch, and finally died under Lu Quan's nail-headed Seven Swords Book, but he also lost an iron-clad man.
When Jiang Ziya was a god, Zhao Gongming was named the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon and Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun, Zhaocai, Zhaobao, Nazhen, Lishi, and the four immortal officials were in charge of the wealth and fortune of the world.
In addition to Zhao Gongming, there are three gods of wealth in mythology, namely Guan Gong, the god of martial wealth, Bigan, the god of literature and wealth, and Fan Li, the god of living wealth.
According to legend, Guan Yu was very good at financial management during his lifetime, and the reason why Guan Yu led the army to fight and was invincible was inseparable from sufficient logistics support.
Another one, businessmen value integrity the most, and Guan Yu is loyal and righteous, so he will naturally be sought after by businessmen.
Bigan was framed by beating himself, and dug out the seven exquisite hearts, it is precisely because there is no heart, there will be no partiality, and the most fair thing to do, so it is deeply trusted by the people.
By virtue of his ability to make a fortune in business for many years, he has become the living god of wealth praised by the world. After Fan Li assisted Goujian, the king of Yue, to complete his revenge, he retreated bravely, left the court, and developed agriculture and commerce in the Qi country, and soon became the Taozhu Palace of the rich world.
There are 4 God of Wealth, and the objects chosen by the God of Wealth to worship in various places are naturally different, so you can't worship all 4 God of Wealth together. The Shanxi generation mainly worships Guan Erye, and the southern region worships Zhao Gongming more.
