The fifth day of the first lunar month is the God of Wealth Day.
In the ancient land of China, there is a village that has been forgotten by time, called Jingu Village. This village has a unique tradition, which is the God of Wealth Day on the fifth day of the first lunar month. The people of Jingu Village are convinced that on this day, the God of Wealth will descend to the world and bring wealth and good luck. Therefore, every year on this day, the villagers put down their work and return to the village to hold a grand ceremony and pray for the blessing of the god of wealth.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month this year, the old village chief gathered the villagers and came to the village square. In the square**, a splendid statue of the God of Wealth stands there, smiling, as if you can really hear people's hearts. The old village chief began to tell the legend of the God of Wealth.
Once upon a time, there was a poor young man named Jinbao. He was hardworking and kind, but he suffered from poverty. One day, he picked up a stone in the mountains, which sparkled and seemed to hide magical powers. Jinbao treats it as a treasure and takes care of it every day. One day, the stone suddenly shone brightly, and a god came out of the light. The fairy told Campbell that he was the god of wealth and was moved by Campbell's kindness and hard work and decided to grant him endless wealth.
Since then, Jinbao's life has gone from good to better, and he has become the richest man in the village. In order to thank the God of Wealth for his gifts, on the fifth day of the first lunar month every year, Jingu Village holds a ceremony to welcome the arrival of the God of Wealth. After listening to the old village chief's story, the villagers lit incense and candles in their hands and prayed sincerely. The square was filled with the smoke of incense and candles and the sound of people's prayers.
At this moment, a colorful beam of light appeared in the sky, shooting directly at the God of Wealth in the square. The villagers were stunned, only to see a fairy in gorgeous clothes come out of the beam, smile and nod to the villagers in question, and then take out a golden bag from his arms and throw it into the air. The bag grew in size in an instant, scattering countless gold coins and jewels. The villagers cheered and reached out to pick it up.
At this moment, the fairy spoke: This wealth is for each of you, but remember that wealth is not obtained overnight, only the hardworking, upright, and kind people can truly have it. After speaking, the immortal turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the sky, leaving the villagers standing in the square and reminiscing about the miracle just now.
Since then, the people of Jingu Village have become more convinced that the God of Wealth Day on the fifth day of the first lunar month is a special day, and they have worked hard, been honest and trustworthy, and have been willing to help others, and have practiced the words of the God of Wealth with practical actions. And every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, a mysterious God of Wealth will appear, bringing good luck and wealth to the villagers.
