Will we welcome the God of Wealth on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2020?

The God of Wealth is not welcomed on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month. Generally speaking, the God of Wealth is welcomed on the 5th day of the 1st lunar month every year.
The birthday of the God of Wealth is the fifth day of the first lunar month, so the day to welcome the God of Wealth is also on this day, that is, from the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month to the midnight of the fifth day of the first lunar month.
According to folk experts, the custom of welcoming the God of Wealth was popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, and is still popular today. The God of Wealth is divided into the Civil God of Wealth, the Martial God of Wealth and the Imperial God of Wealth. The civil god of wealth is Bigan, the military god of wealth is Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu, and the royal god of wealth is Prince Chai. "Welcoming the God of Wealth" on the fifth day of the first lunar month is just a widely popular custom among the Chinese people. It reflects people's traditional desire to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, to bid farewell to the poverty and hardship of the past and to welcome a better life in the new year. In fact, in addition to setting off firecrackers, you also need your own wisdom and hard work.

How to welcome the God of Wealth?

1. If you have an altar for the God of Wealth at home, you must clean it, prepare candles, offerings, and a petition to receive blessings and fortune from the God of Wealth. The petition must not be sloppy, and try to use a formal petition to welcome the God of Wealth that has been consecrated. After 11 o'clock at night on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the Zi hour of the fifth day. This is the best time to worship the God of Wealth. Therefore, after 11 o'clock at night on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, open the door of your house and turn on the lights (because the God of Wealth does not enter a dark room), devoutly offer sacrifices to the God of Wealth in front of the altar and read the petition aloud (slowly, word by word). After reading the petition, burn the petition together with paper money in the incense burner (never burn them on the ground), which can bring good fortune for the year.
2. If you don’t have an altar for the God of Wealth at home and you have the conditions to go to a temple or Taoist temple, then try to go on the fourth night of the New Year and start burning incense after 11pm. When burning incense, don't forget to use the petition to welcome the God of Wealth. After burning the incense, try to hurry home. The wealth bestowed by the God of Wealth is to be brought home, not taken anywhere else.
3. If there is no tablet for the God of Wealth at home and you cannot go to a temple, you can still welcome the God of Wealth at home. That is, open the door and turn on the lights after 11 o'clock at night on the fourth day of the New Year. Prepare incense, candles, offerings and a petition to receive blessings and fortune from the God of Wealth. Stand at the door facing the tablet of the God of Wealth that year and follow the first rule. You can still welcome the God of Wealth and be blessed with good fortune for the whole year.
