in Chinese mythology, the gods of wealth: Bi-gan, Shi Chun, Guan Yu, etc. According to Taoist mythology, in heaven there is a Ministry of Finance (wealth), headed by Zhaobao tianjun (“heavenly sovereign calling on treasures”) and Naqiang tianjun ( “heavenly sovereign who brings money”), it is sometimes believed that the head of this ministry is Commander-in-Chief Zhao, who is assisted by two dignitaries: Xiao Sheng and Cao Wao - real historical figures, canonized after death. The retinue of the Tsai Shen also includes the god of coins, Liu Hai, and the immortal counterparts of He-he. The permanent attributes of the tsai-shen are a dragon made of coins (qianlong), a horse that brings treasures (bao-ma), ju-baopen, silver ingots (yuanbao), shaped like a shoe or dumplings, a tree on which coins grow (yaoqianshu ), coral branches, pearls, etc. It is often depicted as cheerful boys shaking the yaoqianshu, and coins rain down. A special type of tsai-shen is called Ulu Tsai-shen (“god of wealth of the five roads” or “five directions”). There are very different interpretations of this image.

CAI SHEN

Cai Zhongmo, nicknamed Jiufeng xiansheng ("teacher from Jiu-feng"). 1167, Jianyang (modern Futsian province), - 1230. Neo-Confucian philosopher, representative of numerology. (sl shu zhi xue) directions of the “teaching of principle” (li xue). Studied with Zhu Xi. Basic op. - “Hong fan huang ji” (“The Great Plan [from the point of view of the doctrine of] the Above predetermined”), “Shu ji zhuan” (“Collected commentary on “Shu [jing]”), “Cai Jiufeng shi fa "("Methods of fortune telling according to Cai Jiufeng"). He paid special attention to the "Shu Jing", primarily the chapter of "Hong Fan" ("Great Plan"), which he interpreted from the standpoint of the "doctrine of pre-celestial numbers" (xian tian shu xue). He considered "numbers" (shu) as the cause of both the generation and death of everything in the Universe. Regarding knowledge of the secrets of "numbers", he divided people into "perfectly wise" (sheng) and "profane" (ou): The former “penetrate into numbers,” for the latter, “numbers are closed.” However, according to Ts.Sh., “numbers arise thanks to man,” are “formed” by him; therefore, “the whole darkness of things is prepared in me or collected by me myself.” Since “ the “perfectly wise” write universal “numbers” due to the presence of a structure-forming “principle” (li), then the Celestial Empire (nature and society) has the opportunity, through these specific “numbers,” to “clarify” the world “principle” for itself. The latter is the “root” of the material-forming “pneuma” (qi), and the “root” of the concrete elements consisting of it. "tools" (qi) - dao, which "makes" ("writes", "creates" - zhu) "tools". He insisted on the indivisibility of the “One” (and) and the “two” (liang - the universal dualistic matrix): the latter serves as a unique means of knowing the “One,” which would otherwise be difficult to know. “One” and “two” are correlated as a condition for the existence of “spirit” (shen) - the most subtle substance of world transformations, on the one hand, and a condition for the “duration” (jiu) of all processes, i.e. their extension in time, on the other.

The more joyful and kind holidays, the better, the more fun, the more confidence in a wonderful tomorrow.

The fact is that there are several New Years in China. The one when we meet the arrival of the Fire Monkey - according to the solar calendar begins February 4 . And the new year according to the lunar calendar begins on the first lunar day and this year falls on February 8 .

In general, the Chinese celebrate the New Year for 15 days. Each day has a special meaning, which depends on local traditions. But first, before the new year arrives, houses are carefully cleaned and decorated to attract good luck. The holiday ends on the 15th day - the Lantern Festival, on this full moon people take to the streets and carry lit lanterns.

It’s a pity, of course, that you and I won’t be able to take part in this enchanting action, but we can’t completely stay away.

Therefore, I think no one will refuse to please themselves with a wonderful ritual.
And it consists in meeting the God of Wealth!

It is believed that if we meet him with dignity and ask him, he will give us abundance and material wealth. This year he comes to us from the East on the night of February 7-8 at the hour of the Ox, which is from 1:00 to 3:00 am.

Who is the God of Wealth?

Tsai Shen Ye , that’s what his name is, a powerful God who brings good luck and protects from troubles. He is so friendly and forgiving that he answers all prayers and requests. Like a magician, he fulfills all the wishes of his admirers. Cai Shen Ye is usually depicted riding a black tiger. Sometimes his image has a thick beard and a dark face. He holds a whip in his hand, although in modern times he is often depicted holding a gold bar.

Anticipating your question, I will say that people born in the years of the Monkey and the Tiger are absolutely not allowed to carry out the ritual this year, there is a possibility that it will work exactly the opposite and cause a lot of problems.

Thursday

Wooden Dog Day

Day indicator: 6/5, “hold/stability”, 02.08

Constellation of the day: 1, “Cornucopia”

Third sha of the year

Storage star

Lunar day 3/4, 07.30

Moon in Cancer/Leo, 22.16

Moon without course 17.10-22.16

A good combination of luck indicator and lunar station, favorable for many things.

The luck indicator is considered one of the most energetic and favors everything that implies stability and constancy.

“The lunar station “Cornucopia” is favorable for all birth, growth and creation. It is favorable to begin construction work, new projects, travel, get married, sign contracts, put on new clothes, install supports and gates, move, cut clothes, buy land. It is believed that those who marry on this day will achieve praise, trust and position in society,” this is how ancient texts describe the 1st lunar mansion.

However, when planning your affairs for today, take into account the influence of the third annual sha, which warns against resolving any issues related to real estate, lending and borrowing. Another property of this sha is to delay what has been started for an indefinite period, not to meet the designated deadlines.

The only horoscope sign that should not plan something important for this day is the Dragon. Dog Day is a personal destroyer day for this horoscope sign.

And advice from the lunar horoscope.

The symbol of the 4th lunar day is the Tree. This is a tree on which various fruits grow. Which fruit to choose is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Circumstances and people around us will present us with a choice today. You will need to choose between good and evil.

This is not a difficult choice when you know about the boomerang law, the laws of cause and effect. Everything done in this life comes back, and today not only actions, but also words and thoughts must be kind.

CUTS on the 4th lunar day: haircuts and coloring are unfavorable. It is believed that cutting a haircut on such a day provokes depression, fears and negative emotions. Problems with the throat and oral cavity are likely.

GOOD PURCHASES under the sign of Cancer: real estate, any household items, finishing materials, antiques, used items, food, drinks.

). In late Chinese folk mythology, the gods of wealth. Tsai-sheni merchants were especially revered. Tsai-sheni, like Chinese officials, were divided into civilian and military. As a civilian Tsai-shen in some places (for example, in the northern and northwestern provinces) they honored the legendary hero Bi-gan, and in others - the famous rich man of the 3rd century. AD Shi Chun, who was also famous for his learning. As a basis military Tsai-shen in most regions of China, but especially in the south, the commander of the 3rd century was revered. AD Guan Yu (see Guan Di), but in some places as a military man Tsai-shen acted as a commander and dignitary of the 8th century. Guo Tzu-yi. In folk paintings (nian hua ) usually depicted both at the same time Tsai Shen(one in the clothes of a commander above, the other in the attire of a dignitary below) or a meeting with civilians Tsai-Shen as the owner of a military house Tsai-shen. Such an image seemed to promise double wealth. As a military man Tsai-shen a certain Zhao Gong-ming or Zhao-yuan-shuai was also revered; he is also called Xuantan Zhao yuan-shuai (Commander-in-Chief Zhao of the Dark Terrace). Xuan- black color with a red tint was considered the color of the north (see Wu se, and also Wu xing), and it was on the northern terrace (altar) that sacrifices were made to him. In some areas, for example. in the province Jiangsu, he was called the Bodhisattva (pusa) of the Dark Terrace and was considered a civilian, revered more than others Tsai Shen. On Nar. in paintings he was depicted as a scary man with hair sticking out behind his ears, with weapon-bian[5 ] (a whip-type weapon resembling a thin sword, similar to a bamboo stick) in the hand, sitting astride a dragon (lun) or tiger (see Bai-hu). Sometimes Zhao was depicted, like other deities, sitting at a long sacrificial table, on which silver ingots lay and an incense burner stood. In some areas of China, for example. in Beijing, Prov. Jiangsu, Sichuan, this tsai-shen considered Muslim( cock-cock tsai-shen), is usually depicted as looking not like a Chinese, but like a foreigner, and he is not served pork as a sacrificial treat.

According to Taoist mythology, there is a Ministry of Finance (wealth) in heaven, headed by Zhao-bao tian-jun (Heavenly Sovereign who summons treasures) and Na-tsien tian-jun (Heavenly Sovereign who brings money), it is sometimes believed that the head of this ministry is Commander-in-Chief Zhao, who is assisted by two dignitaries: Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao - real historical figures, canonized after death. However, all these characters, except Zhao, are not very popular. Much better known is Tseng-fu tsai-shen (God of wealth, adding happiness), who in some areas is associated with Bi-gan (Beijing), in others with Zhao Gong-ming (Sichuan Province), in others he acts as special deity (Jiangsu province). Tseng-fu tsai-shen is often included in the retinue of the more significant god of wealth, along with Li-shi hsien-guan (Immortal official of trade profits) and Zhao-tsai tung-tzu (Youth who calls on wealth). To the retinue Tsai-shen also belong to the coin god Liu Hai and the immortal counterparts He-He. In folk paintings Tsai-shen often depicted together with his wife Tsai-mu (Mother of Wealth), a meeting is often depicted Tsai-shen the owner of the house, which reflects a really existing custom, timed to coincide with the beginning of the lunar year (see Yin-Yang Li). In some areas, for example. in the province Fujian, it was believed that tsai-shen returns to earth with tian-guan(Heavenly official, see Tien), who brings happiness, and Xi-shen (Spirit of joy).

Constant attributes known Tsai-shen, a set of which was depicted in folk paintings: a dragon made up of coins ( Qianlong), or a dragon spitting out money, a horse bringing treasures ( bao-ma), a vase with accumulated jewelry (ju-bao-pen), silver ingots - iambics ( yuan-bao), shaped like a shoe, a tree, on which coins grow ( yao-qian-shu), branches of coral, pearls, etc. Often depicted as cheerful boys (apparently from the retinue of the god of wealth) shaking yao-qian-shu and coins rain down. It is possible that the image yao-qian-shu goes back to Buddhist ideas about various kinds of wonderful trees with golden fruits or fruits, which, when falling, turn into gold.

Special type Tsai-shen called Wu-lu tsai-shen (God of wealth of the five roads/directions). There are very different interpretations of this image. According to one version, it goes back to a certain person named U-lu (Five Roads) and surname He (XIV century), who was killed by robbers and then became an object of cult. According to another version, we are not talking about one deity, but about the five deified sons of the eunuch Gu Si-feng (6th century), the cult of which was popular for centuries. The third version features five repentant robbers who benefited the surrounding population. There is also an interpretation of this term as associated with the five directions (four cardinal directions and the center) and even as a collective designation of five categories of home guardian spirits: spirits of the house, doors, hearth, alley (or shopping row) and the center of the home (see Wu Shen ). The cult of Wu-lu Tsai-shen is widespread. arr. to the Center and Yuzh. China. Since his images were often hung on the doors of houses on New Year’s Eve, Tsai Shen sometimes considered as a special type of gods/spirits of doors (men shen).
