Praying for good fortune and prosperity in the new year originally meant welcoming five traveling gods, but later evolved into welcoming five wealth gods. In the old days, after the Spring Festival holiday, merchants would usually invite the Five Gods of Wealth on the fourth night of the New Year and open for business on the fifth day for good luck. The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is when the gods return to the world from heaven. There is a saying that "send off the gods early in the morning, and welcome them late". It means that sending off the gods should start early in the morning, while welcoming them in the afternoon is not too late.
