The first statement

In some places, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is called "Sui Sui", which means that when the Lunar New Year ends, it is time to summarize and draw Full stop. In fact, this is a variant of "Po Wu". Because we don't know the origin of "Po Wu", it evolves slowly. According to "Three Marriages in Taoyuan", Jiang Ziya deified his betrayed wife into a "god of poverty" and made her "return in ruins." According to legend, Jiang Ziya's wife was a very nasty wife who cheated on her husband. After she became the poor god, she became even more annoying. I've never heard of anyone liking the poor god, right? So people "broken" her on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and asked her to "go home" - go back immediately!

Second statement

In addition, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so people have to hold grand banquets, set off firecrackers, and carry out various celebration activities on this day. It means welcoming the arrival of the God of Wealth. However, there are two gods of wealth - one is Bi Gan, the god of wealth, and the other is Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth. Can't these two masters have the same birthday? Whose is it? If you are interested, you can check "Serving the Country with Loyalty", haha.

The third statement

In many places, on New Year's Eve, ancestors will be invited back to celebrate the New Year. In the middle of the main room, the ancestral tablets are hung high, and incense and offerings are burned, which means to invite the ancestors to celebrate the New Year, eat well, and remember their wishes. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, we send our ancestors “back” and the New Year is over. So we will burn incense and paper money on this day to send gifts to our ancestors.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is very important, which is not surprising because it shoulders many important tasks, such as sending away the poor and receiving the god of wealth. To sum up, it is a custom to hold banquets, set off firecrackers and eat dumplings, and dumplings symbolize "Yuanbao".

A legend is.

Why do shops open on the fifth day of the first lunar month? According to Han folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is your birthday. People's fortunes for the year are determined by the God of Wealth, so many businesses rush to open the market on the fifth day of the first lunar month in order to "profit".

Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, is honored as "Marshal Tan Xuan of Justice" by Taoism. The Han people called him Marshal Zhao. Legend has it that the summoned marshal can drive thunder and lightning, eliminate epidemics and disasters, uphold justice, and seek wealth and death, so he is most respected by businessmen. Marshal Zhao's portrait looks like the bottom of a pot, with round eyes and an angry glare, a steel whip in his hand, and a black tiger on his body. Next to the statue are two generals, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi, known as "making money for profit". In the legend, there are also "Partial God of Wealth" and "Five Gods of Wealth", commonly known as "Five Road God" and "Lutou God". Qing Dynasty books such as Lu Gu's "Feng Shen Bang" record that every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, merchants hold activities to welcome the God of Wealth. On this day, merchants get up early at five o'clock, set up the incense table, offer three sacrifices, and light incense candles. Then open the door, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers. Amid the commotion, the shop owner, dressed in a long robe and mandarin jacket, holding incense in his hand, worshiped heaven and earth first, and then worshiped the God of Wealth Hall, even if it was the God of Wealth invited in from outside. Finally, burn incense, sprinkle wine, and have midnight snacks with all the store employees to seek good luck.

This kind of activity to welcome the God of Wealth with Five Links is commonly known as "Welcoming the Daotou". In Wuxi, Pudong, Shanghai and other places in Jiangsu, some businesses are eager to make a fortune but are afraid that the God of Wealth will lag behind others, so they advance to the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, which is called "grabbing the road." As Cai Yun said in "Fengshen", "The God of Wealth asks for help on the fifth day, and the wish of the year is rewarded in one hour. Beware of other places greeting the gods early, and fighting for the way all night."

After dawn, the store An opening ceremony was held. First, the shop owner burned the statue of the God of Wealth and then set off firecrackers. The men shook the abacus vigorously and beat the weights with their weights, causing a lot of noise inside and outside the house. The beggar who heard the sound sang "Happy Song" at the door and begged for money, and the shopkeeper was happy to give alms. In an atmosphere of warm wishes, the staff opened all the doors and windows in the store, revealing the couplets "All the best, all the best" that had been posted for a long time, and officially opened for business.

In modern Zhejiang and other places, when the store opened on the fifth day of the first lunar month, there would be five-color refreshments in the store to welcome the first customer, who was called the "God of Wealth." Regardless of the turnover, a warm reception was given and customers were given benefits such as half payment and gifts. Zhenhai, Cixi and other places have the custom of welcoming eight guests, which is called "inviting the Eight Immortals". If the first customer to come to the door is luxuriously dressed, impressive, and has a large turnover, it is considered to be a sign of prosperous business all year round. If there are no customers for a long time after opening the store, the store owner will go to the God of Wealth Hall to kneel down and pray to Marshal Zhao, the God of Wealth, for blessings, or to ask for an autograph by divination, which is commonly known as "asking the God of Wealth." If the store's business was slow or lost money last year, people would think that the God of Wealth did not come to bless them. Therefore, after opening on the fifth day, the shop owners and their families will go to a nearby temple to burn incense and worship the gods and pray for blessings. If you meet a monk or nun on the road, you will quietly put the monk and nun in the middle, thinking that the Buddha of Fortune is often attached to the monk and nun and can bring the God of Wealth, commonly known as the "God of Wealth". If some shops are not open for business on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it means that the business cannot survive and has "gone bankrupt".
