God of wealth, what day is the fifth day of the first month?

The fifth day of the first lunar month is Wutong God of Wealth Day.

In southern China, people are used to offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. According to folklore, the God of Wealth is the Five Gods. The so-called five roads refer to the east, west, north and south, which means that you can get money when you go out of five doors. Why do people worship the Five-way God on the fifth day of the first month and take this day as their birthday? It is because the Five-way God's Five is related to the Five-way God's Five. In the first month, but not in other months, it is a new year's atmosphere. Auspicious, rich in financial resources, and wealth goes hand in hand.

The so-called "God of Wealth" refers to the gods that Han people generally believe in, that is, Zhao Gongming and his four righteous brothers or ministries. Except Zhao Gongming and Wu Caishen in the middle road, the other four roads are Xiao Sheng and Caishen in the east road, Cao Bao and Caishen in the west road, Chen Jiuhong and Caishen in the south road and Yao Shaosi and Caishen in the north road.

On the fifth day of the first month, the god of wealth met the fifth road.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the first month (the fourth midnight of the first month), before welcoming the god of wealth, you should look through the yellow calendar, choose the position and auspicious time of the god of wealth, prepare the altar and put it in the hall, face the gate, set up five fruit offerings, such as apples, pears and other fruits (water is the main wealth), and then put five cups of green tea and incense sticks.

When the auspicious moment came, they began to burn incense to welcome the God of Wealth in Wutong, and read a letter of greeting to the God of Wealth in the New Year with reverence, praying for the blessing of the God of Wealth. Then, they put incense in the incense burner, burned letters, crossed their hands and kowtowed, thanking God for his kindness, and the ceremony of welcoming the God of Wealth ended.
