Invite the God of Wealth into your home!

Worshipped by the people from all works of life in China, the God of Wealth has a great influence. There is a tradition among the people to greet the God of Wealth late on the eve of the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year). On the occasion, incense is burned and sacrifices are offered. The image of the god is put up at all households, hoping to have a better crop harvest and a better income in the new year. There is a jingle among the populace in northern China, “To open the door at the fifth geng (daybreak) on New Year’s Day and to meet the God of Wealth gladly. A gold horse is tethered to a tree of heady money source, and a gold figure stands in the treasure basin.”
