What is the principle of floating God of Wealth?

Well, in some places. Let's take a look at his origin: today I'm going to introduce someone to you-Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming can't be found in the history of China civilization. He can only find it in many books and houses. It is recorded in the Jin Dynasty's Iron and Steel Jet Classic, Search for Ji Shen, Ming Dynasty's Romance of the Gods and Selected Works of Mao Zedong. "The Chinese nation worshiped for 5,000 years". The ancients worshipped heaven, earth and their parents, and we are still continuing today. Many emperors and heroes have been forgotten, but only one person has not been forgotten and has been passed down for 3,000 years. He is Zhao Gongming, the head of China's famous God of Wealth. 1. The culture of God of Wealth in Zhao Gongming has grown up over a long period of time, and it has been subtly influenced by national, regional and family education. Different countries and regions will produce different cultures, and different cultures will certainly produce different personalities and customs. The cultural source of the Chinese nation developed far away from the oceans and grasslands, and relied on agriculture to survive, thus producing "farming culture". The core of farming culture is the unity of opposites among heaven, earth and human beings. In the early days of "farming culture", human beings had limited survival ability and could not compete with natural disasters, local disasters and man-made disasters, so they pinned their hopes for survival on outstanding leaders in heaven, earth and heaven. Ancestors called the Jade Emperor God, the Land Lord God and Zhao Gongming God. Therefore, ancestors' worship of gods, land gods and human gods has been passed down from generation to generation. They hope that the gods will sow rain in time, that the land gods will eliminate pests, and that people and gods will drive out tigers and leopards, defeat the enemy and bless themselves with peace and happiness. It can be said that everyone wants to be rich. So there is a wealth culture. The core of this culture is the "God of Wealth". Sacrificing the god of wealth in the temple and giving the statue of the god of wealth to others are the embodiment of people's thought of seeking wealth. The god of wealth in all walks of life carries people's good wishes for making money and making a fortune every day, and entrusts people with their wishes for family prosperity, population prosperity and prosperity. For the god of wealth, businessmen believe most, and their contribution to the creation of the god of wealth is also the greatest. Businessmen began to worship the god of wealth and spread to all levels of society. As a pair of couplets on the temple of the God of Wealth wrote, "It's fun to accumulate jade and hide pearls: cultivate the mind and weave, and cold Confucianism can also recommend incense." One of the biggest characteristics of folk belief and worship of the god of wealth is that the god of wealth is not just a "person", but a group of "people". In other words, the god of wealth is a group, a collection of various gods from different sources. This phenomenon is extremely interesting, which fully proves that the god of wealth is not the "pet" of a certain chaebol or businessman, but people belonging to different classes and regions. The different idols introduced reflect the wishes and demands of people of all colors of God of Wealth. And every great god of wealth in folk beliefs is the embodiment of morality. For example, Guan Gong stands for loyalty, Fan Li stands for wisdom, and Zhao Gongming and Bigen stand for justice. In the past, it was divided into God of Wealth and God of Literature in folk beliefs. Both the civil and military God of Wealth are the so-called positive God of Wealth among the people. Besides the positive God of Wealth, there are also the so-called partial God of Wealth. It is not clear why the god of wealth is divided into positive and negative parts. There is a folk saying that the righteous god of wealth is the god of wealth that leads people to the right path, and the partial god of wealth is the god of wealth that leads people to the side door. Zhao Gongming God of Wealth culture was born in the late Shang Dynasty, and it has been full of vigorous vitality for 3,000 years. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, large families set up houses to worship, recreational people set up platforms to worship, and even the poor people put statues of public people on their stoves to worship. When Qian went to the West, he printed the existing statue on silk products and spread it along the way. Whenever Han people enter a new land, they first build the Temple of Wealth in Zhao Gongming. According to the data of Taoism in China, Zhao Gongming has the largest number of sites of the temple of the god of wealth, which shows how much the culture of the god of wealth in Zhao Gongming has influenced China people. In the 3,000-year-old culture of God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming is known as the Kitchen God, Lord Hei Hu, Hei Hu Tan Xuan and Marshal Zhao Gong. Therefore, for 3,000 years, the culture of God of Wealth in Zhao Gongming has been handed down from generation to generation. So what are the legends of Zhao Gongming's God of Wealth culture? Second, the legend of the head of the five-way god of wealth, according to the inscription of the Ming Dynasty in the ancestral temple in his hometown, his real name was Lang, Yuan and Yuan, and he was born in the late Shang Dynasty. He used to be a doctor, but later he lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan to cultivate immortality and realize enlightenment. Zhao Gongming was born in a poor family. When Zhao Gongming was born, his father invited a famous midwife from Chang 'an to deliver the baby. In ancient times, there was a custom of delivering babies. After a woman gave birth to a baby, the midwife picked up the baby's foot with one hand and told her to lower her head, while the other hand patted the baby's ass gently. Hearing the baby's first cry, the midwife reported the good news loudly, so that the boy made his son happy and the girl made her daughter happy. If the baby doesn't cry, the midwife says her daughter is happy. But the midwife Zhao Gongming slapped her wantonly, but she left angrily without saying anything. As he was leaving the house, he thought of a way and said to Zhao Laohan, "Your son's foreign minister is different. You should find a Taoist to calm down and be safe. " How dare the old man delay? He held a ceremony at home early the next morning. Taoist priests burned incense and candles around Zhao Gongming in the cradle, and drummed drums and chanted incantations with swords for one day. No matter how he casts spells, the child just doesn't open his eyes, as if he were asleep. Taoist claimed that his divine power was not enough, so he suggested going to Zhong Nanshan to ask his master to go down the mountain. At this time, an old man with a beard came out of the door, neither burning incense nor chanting. He took a black abacus out of his pocket, counted Zhao Gongming's birthday for a while, and then asked his family to find a six-inch branch. The master picked up the branch and shook it three times in front of the child. The child opened his eyes and shook it three times. The child smiled and shook it three times. The child happily grabbed the branch and sucked it in his mouth. Seeing this scene, Zhao Laohan's family fell to the ground and begged the old man to tell the truth. The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "benefactor, this secret must not be revealed!" After repeated entreaties from his family, the master agreed to give the child a dharma name "Mu Cai". Desire is jealousy, wealth is wealth. When Zhao Gongming was sixteen, one day, he and his partner came to Xianyang and passed a wood shop. He saw that the business of this shop was very prosperous. The shopkeeper measured the diameter of the log head with a ruler and sold it to the businessman. Zhao Gongming keeps hearing complaints from buyers that the deal is unfair. After returning to the village, he helped his partner open a wood shop. In ancient customs, the sale of logs is based on the diameter of the big head. He suggested calculating the diameter of the small head. The change of this method has benefited the buyer and the business is getting better and better. Once, Zhao Gongming went to visit his childhood shepherd. After many years' absence, the partner took out an altar of wine, and the two of them recalled the past while drinking. During the conversation, his partner mentioned something that puzzled him. He said: after herding sheep for more than ten years, he found that the sheep at the front of the flock grew fat and big, and the sheep at the back grew thin and small. He never understood why. Zhao Gongming thought for a moment and told him: the sheep in front breathe fresh air, eat delicious grass and drink pure water, while the sheep behind breathe turbid air, eat trampled grass and drink polluted water. Therefore, he suggested that the sheep should be arranged in a long line as far as possible in the future and the order should be changed. Partners benefit from it. When Zhao Gongming was thirty-five, a great event happened in the village. A Hei Hu came out from the valley of Heishuiyu (now Xi 'an Heihe Reservoir) to hurt people. The officers and men repeatedly organized the killing and failed. After Zhao Gongming got the news, he immediately organized a group of people to go up the mountain to find traces of Hei Hu. They came to the edge of a cliff and found a newborn tiger. Seeing this, Zhao Gongming understood why the tiger hurt people. He sent someone to find a little black cat, set up a fence in Meiyukou, Heishui, where tigers often haunt, put the black cat coated with tiger dung in the fence, and put some foods that tigers like to eat in the fence. Soon Hei Hu found it in the fence. I mistakenly thought this was my own child, so I also lived in the fence. Zhao Gongming brought food to the mountain to feed himself every day, and it didn't take long for him to win the trust of the tiger. Zhao Gongming not only lives with the tiger, but also takes the tiger to take a bath by the mountain spring. One day, the tiger took Zhao Gongming to the depths of Heishuiyu Valley, and the wolves and bears swarmed in the forest, but as long as Hei Hu roared, all kinds of wild animals fled without a trace. Deep in the valley are patches of good trees, but wild animals haunt them and others dare not approach them. Because of the protection of Hei Hu, Zhao Gongming occupied the forest alone and started a timber business. Even the timber used in the palace was distributed by him, which made a fortune. Later generations called this Hei Hu "Lucky Tiger" and "Treasure Tiger". Zhao Gongming is very brave. A friend of Chang 'an borrowed Zhao Gongming Platinum to do timber business. Because a flash flood washed away the wood, Zhao Gongming knew about it and went to comfort him and told him that even if you gave me a pair of chopsticks, it would be enough to pay off the debt. Zhao Gongming keeps a hen and a black dog, but the hen doesn't lay eggs and the black dog doesn't bark. No matter how much food you feed every day, you always eat thoroughly. One day, just after midnight, suddenly the sky was full of faint colorful clouds, and the flowers and plants all over the mountains were in full bloom for a while, emitting an intoxicating fragrance that has never been seen in the world. At this time, in the southern sky, there suddenly appeared a picture of a thousand lights, a fairy pilgrimage, and an unusually lively picture, which was the opening door for human transmission. According to legend, Tianmen opens every three thousand years. The moment Tianmen opens, as long as you kneel down and pray, you will be "responsive." Zhao Gongming immediately knelt down and prayed to heaven: Let my hen lay eggs and let the black dog speak. Before I could prolong my life, Tianmen was closed. In a flash, everything was back to normal. Zhao Gongming seems to have had a dream, too. At this moment, all of a sudden, the hens in Zhao Gongming began to cackle, laying a golden egg every time they called, and the black dog also called, and every time they called, they spit out a silver light. Therefore, Zhao Gongming is very happy to help the poor settle down with golden eggs and silver ingots every day. But with the accumulation of golden eggs and silver ingots, there are more and more. Finally, in order to thank the gods and repay their ancestors, Zhao Gongming hired eight goldsmiths and silversmiths to cast golden eggs and silver ingots into gold foil and silver foil, and all the bamboo pieces to be burned to the gods were pasted with gold foil to show their gratitude. The bamboo pieces burned to our ancestors were all covered with silver foil to repay our ancestors. Therefore, burning gold paper in Buddhism and Taoism is also a custom handed down from the Zhao Gongming era. When the Jade Emperor heard about Zhao Gongming, he was very grateful. There is such a wise hero in the world, so he ordered Tianguan to take Zhao Gongming to heaven. The Jade Emperor asked, "Ai Qing, do you know how many responsibilities my heaven has? Zhao Gongming blurted out, "Duty", and the immortals next to the Jade Emperor laughed. Tian Peng Yuan Shuai was very generous and snorted contemptuously. "I have one hundred and eight lines in the day, and my responsibilities are three thousand six hundred. How can I be a duty? " After Gong Ming surrendered, he replied, "Although Heaven has 108 lines and 3,600 bounden duties, they are all based on the word" wealth "on earth. The Jade Emperor continued to ask, "What responsibilities do you like? "? When Zhao Gongming first arrived in heaven, he didn't know how many duties he had. He remembered the happy past of doing wood business on earth, so he replied, "People in heaven liked wood in their last lives. The Jade Emperor mistook "wood" for "wood" because he was happy, thinking that Zhao Gongming liked financial work. Without thinking, he declared that Zhao Gongming was the "God of Wealth in the Middle" and was in charge of human wealth. It turns out that there are all kinds of God of Wealth in the east, west, south and north, and the God of Wealth in the middle is the biggest, so later people call Zhao Gongming the first of the five God of Wealth. According to this allusion, Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty left a famous sentence in the book Historical Records: "All the bustling places in the world are for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. "The five gods described in China's ancient culture, God of Wealth, God of Wealth, God of Wealth, and God of Longevity, are collectively called the God of Wealth. The cultural mystery of the lost God of Wealth in Zhao Gongming is difficult to deliver ancient money. To buy tea in the south of the Central Plains, it is necessary to pull a few carts of money and hire dozens of escort agencies to escort. Not only is the cost high, but if there is a robber, people and money will be empty. Li Hongzhang, Minister of Beiyang in the late Qing Dynasty, initiated the Westernization Movement, which changed the self-sufficient economic form of China society for two thousand years. The commercial economy is very active and the commercial space is increasing. At this time, the coastal generation accumulated a large number of matches, lanterns, foreign oil, foreign cloth and other foreign goods, waiting to be sold to the mainland. Shanxi merchants saw this business opportunity and launched a silver ticket. After the appearance of the silver ticket, the currency delivery is very convenient, and merchants can exchange the silver ticket for cash shopping in foreign banks. Bankers and banks rely on honesty to settle accounts once a year, replacing the transportation of silver cars in time and space. Smart Shanxi merchants promoted silver tickets and introduced an image ambassador, Guan Yu. Guan Yu, a native of Shanxi, became sworn friends with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms period, forming an alliance of life and death, and was called the embodiment of benevolence, righteousness and loyalty by the world. At that time, Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yu's talent very much and made a promise to win Guan Yu over with high officials and generous salaries. Guan Yu was not tempted at all. He really protected Mrs. Liu's story of finding Liu Bei, which became a model of eternal sacrifice for righteousness and a manifestation of integrity. So when Shanxi merchants got there, they promoted Guan Yu there. With deep pockets, they joined hands with Taoist officials and quietly replaced the gods everywhere with the Wu Caishen statue of Guan Yu. This wind tracks Kyushu. According to historical records: "During the autocratic rule of Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, smoke filled the western regions, and Cixi ordered Zuo Nafu, a Han minister stationed in the south, to go to the western regions to counter the rebellion. "The real purpose of the imperial court's move is to get rid of Zuo Zhong Dian, a mercenary with self-respect, and prevent the anti-Qing events in Wu Sangui. On the one hand, the imperial court repeatedly issued tokens, on the other hand, it refused to pay them, which made Zuo Zhengdian stationed in Guangdong sleepless. At this time, the master reported that Zhang Baotang, a Shanxi merchant, had come to visit him. Zuo Gong thought to himself, "There's another one who doesn't know the inside story. Come on ... "He nodded helplessly. Squeeze out a sentence: "bye"! People in their thirties, all smiles on their faces, respectfully gesticulated with their hands and said, "I invite my fellow villagers to come to the western regions tomorrow to bid farewell to adults." After that, I waved and asked the doorman to bring a cupboard, took out a bronze statue one foot six inches high from the cupboard, respectfully put it in the middle of the table, and then said, "Do adults recognize this man?" ? When Lord Zuo heard this, his face was angry and he cursed in his heart: "I don't even know when to start. Why did you say you would start tomorrow, you treacherous businessman? " "What's even more irritating is that even children know Guan Yu. I am the champion of the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. I don't know Guan Gong, which is purely insulting to this official." "Please calm down, my Lord." Zhang Baotang quickly took out his notebook: "I have a clumsy mouth, so I wrote this book by hand, so that my master can read it carefully." Left adult reluctantly took the notebook, for an instant, he turned anger into joy. After reading it, he said cheerfully, "Thank you for coming to see me late at night. I will leave at 5: 30 tomorrow to send the guests on time! " Before the guests left the gate, the left main hall turned and threw herself on the ground. Bowing three times to the bronze statue of Guan Yu, he put his hands together and said, "If Wu Caishen can protect the left family and nine doors, and I can successfully counter the rebellion in the western regions, this handsome man will build another 1,000 Wu Caishen golden bodies." The next day, Zuo led a great army to start on time, and within March, he won the victory of counterinsurgency. When Empress Dowager Cixi got the news, she became suspicious. "This left beard defeated the Xiongnu descendants who can fight well without a silver or two from the imperial court. This not only didn't get rid of the boy, but made him more prestigious. What's the matter? " Immediately ordered him to return to Beijing quickly, I want to reward him! In the Baohe Hall of the Forbidden City, the courtiers stood still, and Cixi gave up her seat to the left main hall for a pretence. After a while, the demon voice asked, "Lord Zuo, this time, there was a rebellion in the western regions, and there was a lack of food for serenading. I wonder what magic machine your Excellency used to win?" Zuo Zhengdian said mysteriously: "Tell Lafayette that before the war in eastern Guangdong, I received a statue of Guan Caishen from Shanxi merchants, bathed for three days, and took the statue with me, and went to the western regions to worship once every morning and evening. On the way, we need soldiers and soldiers, and we need food and food. Our army is invincible and the rebels are fleeing everywhere. I thought Guan Yu's god of wealth protected me and won a great victory. " Upon hearing this, Cixi was angry and suspicious. Later, she was sent to the governor of Guangdong to put Zhang Baotang in prison. After the DPRK dispersed, ministers went to the Chenghuang Temple to meet Guan Yu and Wu Caishen, and the copper price in Beijing rose for a time. So, what's in Zhang Baotang's notebook? It turned out that Zhang Baotang secretly sponsored Zuonafu's one million tons of grain on the condition that Guan Yu's clean image in Wu Caishen was improved along the way, and the silver ticket business in western Guangdong was opened to sell foreign goods to the mainland. What a big deal this is. Poor Zhang Baotang didn't know that he had violated the precepts of the Qing Dynasty until he died. Zhao Gongming, the head of the Five-Road God of Wealth, gathered together to solve the mystery. Zhao Gongming, the head of the Five-Road God of Wealth, gathered together as a totem. However, why has Zhao Gongming's totem been handed down from generation to generation in the world for 3000 years? Zhao Gongming, the head of the Five-Road God of Wealth, is one of the greatest and most magical portraits of the Chinese nation. China folk gods of wealth are represented by Zhao Gongming, Guan Gong, Bi Gan, Fan Li and Shen Wansan. Your god of wealth has different righteous acts. Guan Gong is a model of loyalty through the ages. When justice conflicts, he gives up his interests and accepts justice. Be honest before death, careless after death, fair and just; Fan Li, gather wealth and have virtue, gather and disperse; Shen Wansan, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. Therefore, their totems have been passed down through the ages in a realistic way, and Zhao Gongming's totems originated the earliest and have been debated endlessly. The "Five Elements Theory" circulated among the people in China and the "Wealth Theory" recorded in historical materials are more powerful basis for understanding the mystery of Zhao Gongming's totem. The theory of "Five Elements" has a long history. It is related to the core culture of Taoism: heaven, earth and people. China's ancestors revealed the changing law between man and nature through five natural substances: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and by using the simple dialectical principle of mutual resistance. The five elements in the totem symbolize the wealth of the world, contain great wealth mystery and energy, and protect the peace and happiness of the people of the world. "Wealth Theory" is the internal mystery for scholars to interpret Zhao Gongming's Totem from the perspective of wealth principle. So, what hints and inspirations did the totem spread for thousands of years leave to the world? Make a fortune: The auspicious clouds in the totem of the God of Wealth in Zhao Gongming represent heaven, Jinshan and Hai Yin, and Zhao Gongming represents people, which means good weather, favorable location and harmony with people. The whole represents making a fortune. Protecting wealth: the tiger is the king of all animals, eyeing it, patrolling to exorcise evil spirits, avoiding the light of the blood blade and avoiding jail. Italy guards wealth and never loses it, while implying that there are evasive and safeguard measures for opaque wealth; Gathering wealth: cornucopia is gathering wealth, and rolling financial resources are accumulating more and more; Guarding wealth: Strafe's armor means guarding wealth, implying that there is a risk of struggle in the process of getting rich. Financial management: Wearing official clothes on the left shoulder means managing wealth and carefully managing the wealth kingdom, which embodies the earliest concept of financial management and benevolence in ancient China. Zhao Gongming Totem, which has been baptized by the blood and fire of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, has gathered the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese nation and contains great wealth and energy. Freud, a world-famous scholar, believes that "spiritual idols that can be handed down have great power because of their own time and space, and in an instant, this spiritual power can be transformed into great material power." It is precisely because of this feature of the statue of the God of Wealth in Zhao Gongming that generations of people choose auspicious days, auspicious days and three sacrifices, offer flowers and fruits, burn incense and light candles, and worship the gods, the gods of the earth and the God of Wealth, praying for prosperity and protection. Therefore, Zhao Gongming is known as the first God of Wealth in China. In the eyes of China people, "God of Wealth" is a fairy who makes money and gathers wealth. People yearn for a better life, and they have whatever they need, which is always a monopoly. Therefore, "God of Wealth" has become the goal that people yearn for and pursue. Especially businessmen, Yu Jia, who worships the god of wealth. In the south, all merchants have statues of the god of wealth in their shops and doorways, and lamps and candles shine on exquisite shrines. Pray for the blessing of the god of wealth.
