Why is the director of the Finance Bureau called the God of Wealth?

It is said that the people in Anyuan County respect the "God of Wealth" to the county finance bureau, and it has become a "God of Wealth Temple". In public opinion, institutions are generally quite dignified, and a ceremony was held at the entrance of the Finance Bureau, which made Anyuan County famous all over the country for a time. But this famous way is a bit too unique!

To tell the truth, although I don't know whether there are gods in the world, I still respect them very much: on the one hand, I respect them in my heart; On the other hand, wherever there is a shrine, you can salute silently, light incense or pay some incense money. Based on this, I fully understand the behavior of ordinary people who respect God and mammonism and seek spiritual comfort. It's just that I'm not stupid enough to go to a place without gods to worship like people in Anyuan County.

Forgive my shortsightedness. When I first heard about Anyuan County, it was almost confused with Yu Anan County in Yichang, Hubei Province. After searching Baidu on the Internet, I know that Anyuan County is a county below Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Ganzhou has jurisdiction over 14 counties. These counties border on other provinces or cities in Dachuan. Only Anyuan County and Yudu County are located in the "heart" and do not border other provinces and cities. Anyuan County is located in the southeast of Ganzhou, at the junction of Jiangxi, Guangdong and Fujian provinces, and is the direct hinterland of the Pearl River Delta and Minnan Triangle.

Anyuan County has a population of only 400,000, and its GDP in 2065,438+09 was only over 8.7 billion. This figure is not very clear to everyone. Compare it with Shiyan. The GDP level of Anyuan County is not as high as 9.26 billion in Yunxi County, the penultimate county under the jurisdiction of Shiyan, but only slightly higher than 8.45 billion in Zhuxi County, the penultimate county under the jurisdiction of Shiyan. It should be regarded as an economically underdeveloped area.

It is reported that the local residents in Anyuan County have a traditional custom. In case of housewarming, marriage and other happy events, they will burn incense and light candles in the early morning and hold some blessing ceremonies. It is also known that the local people call this kind of blessing activity "seeking wealth", which is usually in the middle of the night or at three or four o'clock in the morning, when the staff can't see it, they leave after the ceremony. Seeing this, everyone will know why the local people will send the God of Wealth to the door of the Finance Bureau. Because they think that the Finance Bureau is a real wealth gathering place and a treasure trove of geomantic omen.

However, according to their reasoning, the tax bureau, the People's Bank of China and even banks have all become the "Temple of Wealth" like the Finance Bureau. Is it necessary to invite the "God of Wealth" to go home and burn incense and light candles at the gates of these units to pray?

Of course, everyone is reasonable. The state allows citizens to have freedom of belief, but this freedom is based on self-restraint. This constraint is embodied in the fact that people who have personal beliefs and are willing to worship God should go to places acceptable to the public and never express themselves in powerful and serious state organs. Otherwise, not only can you not invite the true God, but you may also be fined or punished by criminal law, which will make you laugh to death.
