brief introduction
Wuxian God of wealth temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, located near the lotus pool, commonly known as the five brothers temple, dedicated to five brothers. During the Spring Festival, it is an important activity for many old Beijingers to go to Wuxian Temple of the God of wealth to pray for blessings and borrow Yuanbao. Early in the morning of the second day of the lunar new year, people from Caishikou and Guang'anmen rush to the temple of the God of wealth by means of transportation such as animal drawn cars or donkeys to burn the first incense.
felicitous wish of making money
Located in the southwest square of Lianhuachi Park, the Wuxian God of wealth temple is set in red and gold, with the theme of "wealth" highlighted. Around the temple of the God of wealth, there is a big circle of Yuanbao wall, in which there are big copper coins and golden toads. "The five gods of wealth are auspicious, the sincere God of wealth is spiritual If you eat boiled Yuanbao today, you will be rich in the coming year. If you eat red fruit string today, your stock will be on the red list. " Mr. Ma, a citizen, worshipped the God of wealth very devoutly. "In the year of the ox, stocks are tied. I hope the year of the tiger will be lifted." Mr. Ma told reporters with a smile about the wish of the year of the tiger. The citizens all want to make a good fortune at the beginning of the year of the tiger. The reporter saw that the most attractive part of the temple fair was a huge gold ingot. The citizens lined up to touch the ingot and competed to take a picture with it. The link of "playing God of wealth" set up in the Temple Fair attracted many children to turn into "God of wealth".
movable scene
The official activities of "Wuxian Temple of God of wealth" begin on the second day of the first month. In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, most of the pilgrims to the temple of wealth, except the rich and dignitaries, rode bicycles. Most of them wear cotton padded gowns of various satins, Mandarin jackets or shawls, and tapestry hats. Pilgrims from the city out of Guanganmen south, of course, the basic downwind (because Beijing winter northwest). But as soon as you get out of Guang'anmen, you have to go against the wind. The paper fish is tied with a bamboo chop and a white thread for carrying. There are also strings of gold and silver ingots, which are made of clay and covered with gold and silver foil. There is also a kind of windmill with sound. This kind of windmill is made of thin strips and colored paper strips and pasted into wind wheels, which are installed on the sorghum straw shelf. Each wind wheel is equipped with a pair of small drum legs tied with white thread. It beats a small drum covered with clay sculpture. When the wind blows, it makes a sound. This kind of windmill has a single, four or even a dozen connected. In the evening, when the sun is flat in the west, as long as you stand in the street, you can see one bicycle after another, forming a turbulent traffic flow. Pilgrims are eager for money, but they don't care about the gale of force 5 or 6 that you come across! More than a mile near the temple of God of wealth, there are many stalls of incense candle paper on the roadside. The first thing to enter the temple is to visit the God of wealth. I can only see the smoke in the hall, the lights are bright, and I can also hear the melodious sound of Zhong pan. At this time, inside and outside the hall, it was very crowded. After worshiping God, besides tasting some Beijing snacks in the temple, the most important thing is to "invite" some special Xinfu products. There are red velvet flowers with the characters "Fu" and "Shou" in different sizes and gold paper cut flowers; there are big red pilgrims with gold scale patterns and auspicious words such as "auspicious" and "auspicious" in half a foot long and half a foot wide. They insert a windmill, big or small, on the light fork in front of the car, and the handlebars are covered with strings of gold and silver ingots and red paper gold scale fish Full of edelweiss, golden "Fu", "Shou" and peacock plumes, they sailed back triumphantly. Along the way, I only heard the sound of windmills and the paper fish fluttering in the wind. I also saw the triumphant pilgrims full of gold and green, and their faces were full of spring breeze. It was as if they had got endless wealth from Marshal Zhao. When they arrived at home, Jinyu gave them to their families. Yuanbao and peacock plume were inserted in the Shan bottle on the God's table, and the big windmill was hung high on the jujube tree in Beijing's courtyard. At this time, the eyes are full of happiness, the ears are full of windmills, and the year is full of meaning. It's really "a special taste in my heart"! The Dongyue Temple, about five miles away from Chaoyang Gate, is also one of the key temple fairs during the Spring Festival. The building of Dongyue Temple is magnificent and magnificent. In particular, the "glazed archway" on the opposite side of the mountain gate is unique. The archway is made of yellow and green glazed tiles with relief. It is about six or seven meters high and more than ten meters wide. It stands in front of Dongyue Temple.
Rubbings of inscriptions
The rubbings on the inscriptions of Wuxian Temple of God of wealth in old Beijing during the reign of Emperor Qianlong recorded the origin of Wuxian Temple of God of wealth when it was rebuilt in the 51st year of Emperor Qianlong, the whole process of the restoration and construction of Wuxian Temple of God of wealth, as well as the piety and "the God of wealth" of believers at that time
However, this Wuxian Temple of God of wealth was demolished in 1987 when the overpass was built. At that time, my "sincere" friend extended the inscription of Wuxian Temple of God of wealth. The "monument" after the extension of the inscription no longer exists. There are only two hundred year old trees in the world. Now, only this "rubbings of inscriptions" is available The only unique witness of today's existence! According to textual research, this well-known Wuxian Temple of the God of wealth has taken shape since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It has a historical background of nearly 700 years. It was rebuilt repeatedly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and preserved until 1957. During the cultural revolution, it was used as a primary school until 1986. It went through vicissitudes for hundreds of years, when the incense was very prosperous until the end of the 1950s. At that time, people who believed in and prayed for incense were crowded, and even those who prayed for money had to put incense outside the Mountain Gate of this temple... This "Wuxian Temple of God of wealth" was already the first in the capital at that time: it was famous, with strong incense; the God of wealth was effective; when I was young, I heard the old people say: "there is Jinshan Temple in the South; there is God of wealth temple in the north.".
This "rubbings of inscriptions" is indeed of high collection value and efficacious worship. It is an extremely precious "offering" sacred object for worshippers and devout people who "invite" the God of wealth. It is said that the five gold characters in Wuxian Temple of God of wealth on the front floor of the temple were written by Emperor Qianlong, and the writing style of this "rubbings on steles" was also very good. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, ordinary people were not qualified to write them, at least if they were written by the academicians of Hanlin Academy. The font of "Xingkai" on the steles is also worthy of today's appreciation. In addition, the implied meaning of "God of wealth" is very popular today It's what powerful entrepreneurs and believers can't get; it's also the number one worshipped by believers in the world; it's trusting in holy things!
