When to welcome the God of Wealth?

The God of Wealth is usually welcomed at the Chou, Mao, and Chen hours on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

1. The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day to welcome the God of Wealth during the Chinese New Year. According to Chinese folk legend, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, so the most important activity after the first day of the Chinese New Year is to welcome the God of Wealth. On the night before the birthday of the God of Wealth, every household will hold a banquet to celebrate the God of Wealth's birthday. Therefore, people usually welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Gu Tieqing of the Qing Dynasty said in "Qing Jia Lu": "Seek wealth on the fifth day, and fulfill a year's wish at once; beware of the gods being welcomed early in other places, and hurry to prepare for the journey the night before." The "holding road head" here refers to welcoming the God of Wealth.

2. The best times to welcome the God of Wealth are the hours of Chou, Mao and Chen. Converted into the current timekeeping method, it is 3:00-5:00 in the morning, 5:00-7:00 in the morning, and 7:00-9:00 in the morning. According to legend, the God of Wealth returns to the earth from heaven on the fifth day of the first lunar month, so if you want to welcome the God of Wealth home, you naturally have to do it early. This not only fully expresses your respect, but also will further enhance the family's wealth fortune. On the contrary, if it is done at noon or in the afternoon, it will lead to some laziness, which will cause the fortune of the family to be damaged.

What to put in front of the God of Wealth to bring wealth

1. Green plants

Generally speaking, we can place green plants in front of the statue of the God of Wealth. This can bring good fortune and luck to the wealth position, bring a lot of vitality, and promote the increase of wealth. For example, you can plant golden pothos, rubber trees, money trees, and Brazilian iron trees, etc.

2. Feng Shui Fish

We can also place Feng Shui fish in front of the statue of the God of Wealth, which can bring ourselves good fortune and luck. But remember not to let the fish in the fish tank die, and change the water regularly, otherwise there will be a lot of financial leakage and loss.

3. Feng Shui Wheel

You can also place a Feng Shui wheel next to the statue of the God of Wealth. This is a relatively auspicious Feng Shui layout. Naturally, it can not only beautify the indoor environment, but also bring good fortune and wealth. However, you should pay attention to the direction of the water flow of the Feng Shui wheel, which is generally towards the inside of the house.
