What is the Western God?

According to legend, there was an auspicious god named Tai Feng in ancient mythology. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Heshan was recorded, and Ji Shen Tai Hui Si was recorded. Its shape is like a tiger's tail, and it is suitable for living in the sun of Mount Tai, with light coming in and out. Everything moves heaven and earth.

Unlike Fu, Lu and Shou, Western gods are very mysterious. There is no such thing as a star, and there is no god to argue with. It can be said that his image is vague. However, this does not prevent people who worship western gods from depicting the image of western gods in their hearts.

Looking up the New Year pictures, we will find that some people like the god of wealth, while others are like celestial officials. The New Year picture "Double Happiness at the Gate" depicts the celestial official holding a prayer flag in one hand and a happy word in the other, followed by a boy holding a double happiness. Other New Year pictures are depicted as the image of a god holding something desirable. Later, you took the portrait of your ancestor or Shang Zhouwang as the salary of the western gentry. People in Neiqiu, Hebei Province worship Western gods very much. They concretized the Western God as a woman with a big nose, big eyes, long hair, a pipa in her arms and a smile, sealed it on pink and yellow paper and pasted it on various places in courtyards and houses. There is also a wooden box next to XiShen, with a few incense sticks in it, which expresses people's hope for good luck, avoiding evil spirits and happy events.
