What's the point of picking up the god of wealth?
According to the most mainstream view, the God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming in ancient times, and Zhao Gongming is also a famous figure in the list of gods.

During the Chinese New Year, the customs of worshipping the God of Wealth vary from place to place. Some people will choose to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense and make a wish in front of the statue of God of Wealth. Some people will greet sacrifices at home and even invite a statue of the god of wealth home.

The main common sense of the god of wealth
For Taoism, all kinds of objects are vulgar if they are not opened by great masters. If you are honored by a great virtue with profound knowledge, you will be worth a hundred times at once. According to Taoist theory, Taoist masters will touch the eyes, ears and nose of the statue of the god of wealth with cinnabar pens on auspicious days, which can endow the otherwise lifeless statue with aura.
Today's young people, even if they have the motivation to meet the god of wealth, few people know that the position of the god of wealth is also exquisite. The most traditional way is to put the invited statue of the god of wealth on the shrine at home, usually in the middle of the hall. If it is a new building, it is estimated that most of them do not have facilities such as shrines. At this time, you can choose a wall facing east to place the statue of the god of wealth.
