The God of Joy is the God of Good Luck, commonly known as the God of Happiness. Because people's wish is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and pursue happiness and joy, they invented a god of joy. According to Chinese folk legend, the God of Joy was originally a pious woman who worshipped the God of the North Dipper. When she became an immortal through Taoism, the God of the North Dipper asked her what she wanted. The woman pursed her lips with her hand and smiled without answering. The God of the North Dipper mistakenly thought that she was praying for a beard, so he gave her a long beard. Because she looked happy when she smiled, she was named the God of Joy. Because of the long beard, she was no longer visible to mortals. From then on, the God of Joy was responsible for celebrations, but her divine form was not revealed. Therefore, the biggest feature of the God of Joy is that he has no specific image and no special temple. He is highly abstract. However, later generations also regarded portraits of ancestors or King Zhou of Shang as the God of Joy and worshipped them. The worship of the God of Joy is common in various ritual activities, especially in weddings.In my country, people usually welcome the God of Happiness on the fifth day of the first lunar month, which is a Chinese seasonal festival custom. It is popular in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and the Yangtze River basin. It is carried out after worshipping gods and ancestors before dawn on the first day of the first lunar month. Chinese people believe that the God of Joy will descend at the beginning of the New Year, and after welcoming the God of Joy, everything will go well and joy will occur frequently throughout the year. |
