Long Wu Ye, the God of Wealth in the South China Sea Dragon Wu Ye in the North and South God of Wealth Temple According to Buddhist scriptures, the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva made twelve great wishes in order to save all sentient beings, the second of which is "the wish to live in the South China Sea forever". At that time, the South China Sea was plagued by plagues and epidemics were rampant; all industries were in ruins and the people were in dire straits. Shengyan, the fifth son of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, has a compassionate heart and great wealth and wisdom. He sensed that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had such a great wish, and took the initiative to kowtow before the seat of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. He wished to transform into a dragon, carry Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva across thousands of miles of waves, and go to the South China Sea for Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to save the people and protect the Dharma. . Under the protection of Lord Long Wu, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva came to the South China Sea and spread nectar all over the place to subdue the plague demon, expel evil spirits and save the common people. Although the plague in the South China Sea has been eliminated, the people are still poor. So Long Wuye made a vow to guard the South China Sea forever for Guanyin Bodhisattva to ensure that the people here are rich and have abundant financial resources.

After Long Wuye blessed the South China Sea, it became a place to gather wealth and energy. It was called the treasury of Kyushu and the source of China's financial resources. Therefore, the provinces in the South China Sea have always been very wealthy. Because people ask for wealth from Long Wu Ye, they always respond to their requests, so they are called the "Long Wu Ye God of Wealth". In order to express gratitude to the Fifth Lord for benefiting the common people, the people built a palace for him and enshrined the image of the Fifth Lord on the Cai Cave of Nanshan. Together with the Mahakala Temple of Cai, which is dedicated to Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, another great protector, they are collectively known as the North and South of the world. Temple of Wealth.
