Does the God of Wealth belong to Buddhism or Taoism?

The God of Wealth mainly belongs to Taoism. In Chinese folklore, the God of Wealth is the god in charge of financial resources, and is especially regarded as a symbol of wealth and blessing in Taoism. The God of Wealth in Taoism has different images and titles, such as Tianguan Shangshen, Tianguan Tianxian, etc. Taoism is a religion that originated in China, with "Tao" as its core belief. Taoism believes that "Tao" is the origin and law of all things in the universe, and advocates that people should comply with nature, govern by doing nothing, and pursue the state of unity with "Tao". Its teachings derive from the influence of ancient Taoist philosophy, particularly the Tao Te Ching, which is said to have been written by Laozi. Taoism also emphasizes personal cultivation and improvement, including the cultivation of morality, mind and life. Many believers pursue immortality. The earliest forms of Taoist sects were Taiping Taoism and Wudoumi Taoism. Later, different sects such as Zhengyi Taoism and Quanzhen Taoism developed.
