What do you mean by five ghosts?

The Five Ghosts, also known as five plagues, five plagues messengers and five plagues envoys, are the gods of plague in China folklore.

The first statement of the Five Ghosts refers to five Yin generals, including Cao Shi, Zhang Si, Li Jiu, Wang Ren and Zhu Guang, or five Yin generals, including Dou Ren, Li Kai, Zhang Wu, Shi Tai and Chu Mian. The Five Ghosts of the Five Yin Generals mainly used the Taoist secret method to detain the ghosts, and moved and transported the wealth for those who sought it, so as to achieve the result of getting rich quickly for those who sought it.

The second statement of the Five Ghosts means that the Five Ghosts are actually the five gods of Taoism, and the ancient folks called them "Five Linggong". Legend has it that plagues and disasters were rampant in Fujian at that time. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the five gods warned the people at that time with their lives, sacrificed their lives, eliminated the spread of the plague and saved the people on one side. Therefore, these five gods were also called the five plagues to eliminate the plague by people at that time.

The image of the Five Ling Gong

is usually one person holding a ladle and a jar, one person holding a leather bag and a sword, one person holding a fan, one person holding a hammer and one person holding a fire pot. Some temples in our country worship five ghosts every year to ensure the safety of all living beings and livestock.

People often say that the Five Ghosts' Wealth Operation is a Taoist magic circle. It is not a single symbol, nor a single symbol. It is composed of multiple symbols, including Jiang Taigong's Five Ghosts' King Symbol, the Dragon and Tiger's Divine Position Symbol, and finally the Five Ghosts' King Symbol, the Five Ghosts' Wealth Operation Symbol. Only when all three symbols are complete can it be called a complete Five Ghosts' Wealth Operation Symbol.
