Detailed explanation of the custom of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month

1. At 1:15 p.m. on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year (i.e. Dingchou hour on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year), place an Eight Immortals table or a Heaven and Earth table at the entrance of the shrine or living room in your home, and place clean small plates on the table. Put red paper on the plates, and put candies on the red paper. 2. A pair of large red candles should be lit in front of the table, and a pair of shiny "gold ingots" should be hung on them. The statue of the God of Wealth should be placed in front. At the same time, fresh big carp, roast pork, rooster, as well as god of wealth cake, auspicious cake, crispy candy, number one scholar cake and five fruits are placed on the table. 3. On both sides of the table there is a row of cups filled with rice wine and a handful of chopsticks. Then worship the God of Wealth in front of the open door. 4. When the incense and candles are half burned, walk out of the door and walk thirty-six steps to the east. First, face the east (symbolizing the purple air coming from the east), clasp your hands together and salute sincerely, and then bow to the west. 5. Silently pray in your heart to invite the God of Wealth to go home with you, then walk slowly back home and recite the following spell devoutly in front of the altar to receive the God of Wealth: "My mood is as hot as fire, and the auspicious time will receive the God of Wealth as bright as red; congratulations on my great plans and prosperity, and my wealth will come in abundance and like a spring breeze." 6. After reciting, burn the gold ingots and paper money in the incense burner (never burn them on the ground). Extinguish the candles, put away the offerings and incense burner, and close the door, and the ceremony of welcoming the God of Wealth is completed.

What should you pay attention to when choosing the wealth position when welcoming the God of Wealth?

1. You can face the wealth position but not sit on it. Once the sofa or wardrobe in your home occupies the wealth position, you will definitely lose money. 2. The wealth position should be dynamic rather than static. The wealth position must be a place that family members pass by every day or consciously pass by, so that wealth can be prosperous. 3. The wealth position should be yang rather than yin. The wealth position must have sufficient light and should not be dark. Darkness will lead to loss of wealth. 4.
