What are the names of the five gods of wealth?

【 Bigan, the God of Wealth in the East 】
Friends who have read "The Investiture of the Gods" know that Bigan was framed and killed by the fox spirit Daji, who had his heart dug out. Jiang Taigong thought that Bigan was extremely talented, so he named Bigan the God of Literature. Later, people thought that Bigan was fair because he was innocent, so he was worshipped as the God of Wealth and was in charge of the financial resources of the east route among the people.
【 Guan Yu, the God of Wealth in the West 】
Guan Yu, commonly known as "Guan Gong", was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. So how did Guan Erye become the God of Wealth? There is a reason. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanxi merchants dominated the world. They often helped each other to make money together. Shanxi merchants also needed a place to gather. Since Guan Yu was a celebrity in Shanxi, Shanxi merchants from all over the country built a Guandi Temple in different regions. People from all over the country also followed suit and went to the Guandi Temple to burn incense and make wishes. Over time, Guan Yu was worshipped as the God of Wealth by the people. Because Guan Yu was a great general of Western Shu, he was in charge of the financial resources of the western route.
【 Southern Road God of Wealth Chai Wangye 】
Chai Rong, the Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, commonly known as "Lord Chai", was named Tiancai Xingjun after he attained enlightenment. He started his business when his family fell into poverty. He set up shops all over the country and was very successful in running businesses such as porcelain, tea, and umbrellas. He funded his adoptive father Guo Wei to recruit soldiers and quell the chaos. After Chai Rong inherited the throne, he loved his people like his own children. He specially ordered craftsmen to carve statues of farmers and peasant women in the palace and set them up in the palace. He always reminded himself not to forget the sufferings of the people. Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, Chai Rong has been worshipped as the God of Wealth by the people in the Central Plains. He is also the patron saint of kiln workers, construction workers and the transportation industry. Since Chai Rong made a fortune when he was young by pushing a small truck southwards, he was in charge of the financial resources of the southern route.
【 Northern God of Wealth Zhao Gongming 】
Zhao Gongming, also known as "Marshal Zhao Gongming". Zhao Gongming is different from the previous historical gods of wealth. There is no record of Zhao Gongming in the official history, which means that Lao Zhao is a fictional character. The legendary Zhao Gongming has a black face and thick beard, wears armor, rides a black tiger, and holds a silver whip and ingots in his hands. The earliest record of the myth of Zhao Gongming began in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but at that time his duty was not to manage human wealth, but to be one of the five plague gods. In the Ming Dynasty novel "Fengshen Yanyi", Jiang Taigong named him the God of Wealth and War. Legend has it that Zhao Gongming was born in the northern part of the Central Plains, so he was in charge of the financial resources in the north.
[ Middle Road God of Wealth Wang Hai ]
Wang Hai is said to be the seventh monarch of the Shang Dynasty of the Xia Dynasty, that is, the monarch before Shang Tang established the Shang Dynasty. He helped his father control floods, invented the ox cart, and encouraged people to use ox carts to pull goods out for trading. Because most of the people engaged in such trading at that time were from the Shang Dynasty, people called those who engaged in trade "merchants." It can be said that Wang Hai opened up a precedent for Chinese commerce, and therefore he was called the "Ancestor of Chinese Merchants" and "Zhongbin God of Wealth." Ancestor Wang Hai was named the god in charge of the financial resources of the central route.

The three best fruits for offering to the God of Wealth

1. Apple <br/>Apple is a very common tribute. No matter to whom the tribute is offered, apple will be a fruit that is often chosen, because apple has a very good meaning. It represents peace and sweetness. The apples must be large and round, without any pits or black spots of mold or rot, as this would represent disrespect to the God of Wealth. You can choose three apples, but remember it cannot be an even number.
2. Peaches <br/>Peaches can also be used as offerings to the God of Wealth. It is best to choose nectarines or other relatively large peaches that look juicy and have a peach red color. Do not choose peaches that look unripe. Once the peaches are ripe, the skin is particularly easy to be bumped off. The fruits offered as sacrifices must not be incomplete, so be careful when placing them.
3. Grapes <br/>Grapes can also be used as tribute to the God of Wealth. The grapes must be large and full in shape. Do not choose wilted or rotten grapes. Because there are many grapes in a bunch, they must be carefully picked before offering them as sacrifice. Some grapes may rot and hide inside without being discovered. Such grapes must be picked out, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the gods.
