Should a shop facing south and facing north hire a Wen Caishen or a Wu Caishen?
Whether the Wen God of Wealth or the Wu Wealth God should be enshrined in a store has nothing to do with the location of the store, because the Wen and Wu Wealth Gods bless normal business and side business respectively. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a Wu Wealth God should be enshrined in the store.
Decoration of the God of Wealth: In traditional Chinese folk concepts, the God of Wealth is believed to be the god in charge of the world's wealth; if you get his blessing and care, you will definitely have abundant wealth and a prosperous family. Although there are many folk gods of wealth, they can be roughly divided into two types: the literary god of wealth and the martial god of wealth.
1. The God of Wealth and Wealth: There are two Gods of Wealth and Wealth, divided into the Star Lord of Wealth and Silk, and the Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity.
(1) Caibo Xingjun: He has a very handsome appearance. He is an elder with a white face and a long mustache. He wears brocade clothes and a jade belt. He holds a gold ingot in his left hand and a sign with the words "call" written on it in his right hand. The scroll of "Wealth and Treasures" looks like a rich man. According to legend, he is the Taibai Star in the sky and belongs to the God of Gold. His title in the sky is "Lord of the Star of Making Wealth in the Sky" and he is responsible for the gold, silver and silk in the world. Therefore, many people who seek wealth respect him very much, and some even Offer incense day and night.
(2) Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity: The "Lucky Star" holds a child in its hand, which symbolizes the blessing of having a child and everything will go well. "Lucky Star" wears luxurious court clothes and holds a jade Ruyi in his hand, which symbolizes promotion to an official position, wealth and wealth. The "birthday star" holds longevity peaches in his hands and shows a happy and peaceful smile, symbolizing health and longevity. Among the three stars of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity, only the "Lucky Star" is originally the God of Wealth; but because the three stars are usually a trinity, the two stars of Fortune and Longevity are worshiped together as the God of Wealth. If the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity are placed in the financial position, with these three stars shining over you, the whole house will be auspicious. Feng shui aside, you will feel very comfortable visually and psychologically. Those who hold civilian positions and those who are employed should place or worship the Wen God of Wealth; as for those who are business owners, as well as those who serve as soldiers and engage in military duties, they should place or worship the Wu God of Wealth.
2. Wu Caishen: There are two Wu Caishen, one is the black-faced Zhao Gongming, and the other is the red-faced and long-bearded Guan Gong.
(1) Zhao Gongming: Also known as Zhao Xuan, he is a majestic and fierce general. Zhao Gongming, the god of martial arts, is said to be able to subjugate demons and demons, and can also attract wealth and profit, so Many merchants in the north like to enshrine it in their shops; while most merchants in the south enshrine Guan Gong.
(2) Guan Gong: Guan Gong's original name is Guan Yu, with the courtesy name Yunchang. He was a famous general in the Three Kingdoms era. With a majestic image, he is not only loyal and brave, but also able to attract wealth, protect wealth and avoid evil.
Note: The Wen Caishen and Wu Caishen are placed in different directions and must be clearly distinguished. The God of Wealth and Wealth with a peaceful face, whether it is the Lord of Wealth, Silk, or the Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury, and Longevity, should face the inside of your house, not outside. Otherwise, money will be sent outside the house. As for the majestic God of Wealth, he should face the outside of the house or the front door, so that on the one hand, he can attract wealth into the house, and at the same time, he can guard the door and prevent external evil from invading.
