The God of wealth

The God of wealth

origin

Caishennong, later renamed "Zhongji Dongbei Nong", starts from Zhongji road in the South and ends at yuemeidai in the north. It is 80 meters long and 3 meters wide, in the shape of a carpenter's Square. It is named because there is a caishentang in the Nong. The God of wealth is divided into civil and martial arts. He worships Guan Gong in martial arts, and works for Fan Li. Because Tao Zhugong had a good way of doing business and became a rich man, all the merchants in Jiaqu District worshiped incense candles.

history

During the period of the Republic of China, there were more than 100 stalls in the streets and alleys. It is recorded in Jiaxing City annals: "in the Republic of China, shops opened their doors from midnight on the fourth day of the year to the early morning on the fifth day of the year. With brilliant lights, altars were set up to meet the God of wealth, and they flocked to the God of wealth Temple to exchange Yuanbao." On this day, the scene of the middle street was even worse. A special person from the God of wealth hall invited the Bodhisattva of the God of wealth to walk along the street, and gave each household a statue of the God of wealth. The small ones kowtowed to worship, and the big ones set incense and firecrackers outside. They were all respectful, which was called receiving wealth. Up to now, although there is no temple of God of wealth in hechong, on the fifth day of the first month, businesses are still firecrackers to welcome fortune and fortune, and to attract wealth and benefit the market.

memory

After the God of wealth hall, it used to be the Fang family hall, with high walls and deep courtyard, three into five Ying, living in a rich family. After liberation, his house was taken over to the public and was once changed into a qiachang warehouse. The year before last, when I visited again, I found that people had moved away and nothing was left. Only the front wall of the side hall was pasted with the word "Pingtan Jixian". As a piece of cursive, it still had the elegant charm of the old owner. If you look at it carefully, although the old ink has faded and turned white, you can see that the writing style is free and easy and light. When you smell it, you can see that it has the taste of "elegant color and fragrance"
