The fifth day is God of Wealth Day. Why does every family invite the God of Wealth on the eighth day?
According to folklore, the fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the god of wealth, so after the first day of the first month, the next most important activity is to meet the god of wealth. On the night before God of Wealth's birthday, every household will hold a banquet to celebrate God of Wealth. There are many legends about the god of wealth among the people: Statement 1: Cai Jing was very rich in the Song Dynasty. According to folklore, he was born a god of wealth. He happened to be born on the fifth day of the first month, so people regard him as a god of wealth.
After Cai Jing was demoted, people converted to the God of Wealth. At that time, the national surname of the Song Dynasty was Zhao, and this mysterious word was an integral part of the word "Lan", so they gave a new name to show their worship.
