Finally, this God was divided into a group of gods. Apparently, the basic reason for separation was the distribution of rich Chinese officials in two groups - military and civilian. Then Tsai Shen Yen also divided into two groups. Sometimes the security people would worship both at once: one military commander and civilian dignitary.
One of the most admired military gods of wealth was Guan Yu. Another was GAO Ziti - a famous military leader and nobleman. According to legend, predicted goddess Zhan Now his glorious destiny which had long life and prosperity as a heavenly spirit. Zhan Now it's "heavenly weaver", as woven in the night sky, she is a prophetess and the patron of lovers.
Ever since she predicted her fate began GAO Ziti to receive honors and rank, and became a very successful fighter. His sons-in-law and also achieved a high rank, and one of his sons even married a princess.
The Chinese also revered Zhao Gong-min as a military and civilian god of wealth. He was offered the victims of the Chinese at an altar located on the northern terraces of housing.
The main civil god of wealth was Began. This god had a real prototype - an honest, noble sage who tried to influence a petty and cruel ruler. Despite the threat of capital punishment continued Began to defend his faith. So enraged ruler said: "I heard that the heart of a sage has seven openings. I want to be sure!" He ordered that Began chest be divided and that his heart will be removed. Since then, began this martyr be honored by the Chinese for his faithfulness and unwavering faith.
It is difficult to say how Began was a god of prosperity. He was very popular among the people. His name was sworn in for when buying goods as a promise to pay, which could have given birth to believe that this person's spirit will help to increase honest wealth.
Any Tsai Shen Yen (God of wealth) will typically have a wife, Tsai-mud ( "Mother of wealth") and followed by the god of coins - a man named Liu Hai. Liu Hai was an official who did not become rich, and led a modest and dignified life. According to legend, he miraculously eliminated greed - he lowered his belt with a gold coin into a well, where a "greed-toad" lived. Toad took the coin with his mouth, and Liu Hai pulled it out, as the frog could not open his greedy mouth. Therefore god coins were sometimes depicted standing on a toad.
The gods of wealth was also represented as dragons made of coins, which coin-spitting dragons, horse, bringing treasures and wonders of trees that grow coins - just shake the tree, and the coins will fall as autumn leaves.
If you want to bring prosperity to your home, you can get a picture of Tsai Shen Yen (gods of wealth), and place it in Health and Family Zone, located on the east side of your home or one of its rooms.
