Is it better to open or close your eyes for the God of Wealth?

Zhao Gongming is also the god of martial arts, when the statue is built, it will inevitably open its eyes, there is no closed eyes, folklore, I said that Guan Gong will kill people when he opens his eyes, this is a superstitious statement, so there is no need to pay attention to this legend that makes no sense, the God of Wealth is mainly the first to open the light, and only after the formal can the young sages offer, otherwise it will be empty, you burn incense is useless, open the light rest assured that the chant is recited after the image body, please enter the image body, the audience is honest enough to raise is the real enlightenment, burn incense to see 24 incense spectrum.

It is indeed very accurate, now there are 48 and 72, this is made up by later generations, it is very inaccurate, there is too much incense ash, just find a clean and hidden place, before burying it deeply, it is not easy to preserve, there is improper handling, do not blame and then bury it.

The eyes of the god of wealth are generally not open and closed, and the eyes of the god of wealth generally symbolize insight, and the ability to make decisions about things, and shock the opponent, which is a deterrent.

When the god of martial wealth is worshipped, it is necessary to offer incense, and the incense should be inserted for one-third, and then kept extinguished.

Guan Gong opened his eyes to kill people is not a superstitious saying, this "Hundred Lectures" teacher Zhao Yuping has talked about it! You don't look at popular science and bewitch people everywhere, pretending to be elephants everywhere, I really convince you!

During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu was loyal and courageous, both civil and military, and could be said to be the most perfect military general in the entire Three Kingdoms period. Although in the end, because of his own personality, he was defeated and killed, but this did not affect readers' love for Guan Yu. Later generations praised Guan Yu, so Guan Yu became a martial saint in the eyes of people from a military general in the Three Kingdoms period.

Even later, people would often worship the statue of Guan Yu, and he was also worshipped as the god of martial wealth. If you carefully look at the Guan Yu statues, readers must know that all the Guan Yu statues are closed eyes, what is the reason for this? We all know whether humanoid statues are similar or not, and the most important thing is the eyes, as long as the eyes are carved well, the statues can also be lifelike.

Three Kingdoms period. But Guan Yu's statue's eyes are closed, won't this make the vividness of Guan Yu's statue greatly reduced? In fact, there are so many generations of craftsmen who have carved the eyes of Guan Yu's statue with their eyes closed, and there is a reason for them, otherwise there would not be such a unified situation. After all, each craftsman has different ideas, if there are no regulations, the Guan Yu they carve out must be different.

We all know that Guan Yu was designed to die by Eastern Wu, when Guan Yu was fighting with Cao Wei, Sun Quan in the rear sent Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou, causing Guan Yu to suffer from the enemy on his back, and there were traitors within Shu, and finally Guan Yu was captured by Eastern Wu with less battles and more. After being captured, Guan Yu was arrogant, but he didn't bow his head to Dongwu, and was finally killed by Dongwu.

Three Kingdoms period. It can be said that Guan Yu's death was very aggrieved, so in the eyes of later generations, Guan Yu was succumbed to death, so the resentment on his body was very heavy, and it was rumored that after Guan Yu was killed, his soul always wanted to find someone to ask for his life. Therefore, when craftsmen make Guan Yu's statue, they will deliberately carve Guan Yu's eyes into a closed state, just to avoid someone from looking at Guan Yu's eyes.

There is also a saying that Guan Yu is Danfeng Eye, usually squinting his eyes, once he opens his eyes, it means that he is going to fight and kill, and there are no longer a few famous generals who die under Guan Yu, so Guan Yu with his eyes open, people think that it will bring a disaster of blood and light, which is not good for people's fortune, but everyone wants to visit Guan Erye.

Three Kingdoms period. So the craftsman came up with a way to close the eyes of the statue, so that the people could not only worship Guan Yu's statue, but also not be affected badly, it was a way to kill two birds with one stone, and people would continue this carving habit after a long time. What do you think about the statue of Guan Yu with their eyes closed?

is because when Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, Guan Yu stood aside and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly opened his eyes, indicating that he was going to kill Huaxiong, and later there was a saying that Guan Gong would kill people when he opened his eyes.

The biggest thing is that Guan Yu was very unwilling when he died, so he was very reluctant to leave this world, and he also felt sorry for Liu Bei.

There is an element of legend, because it is said that Guan Yu's eyes will kill people, and only kill bad people, so ordinary people see Guan Yu with his eyes closed.

There is no specific statement on the aspect of the invited public relations God of Wealth with his eyes closed, Guan Gong has not enough charm when he opens his eyes, or he stares at his eyes with a fierce light.

Guan Gong was not originally a god, nor was he a god of wealth at all.

However, because Guan Gong's flat body actually touched everyone, he was admired by tens of thousands of people, and was praised by later generations, so that he was finally deified. That's why so many people have become Guan Gong believers.

The spirit of public relations loyalty and righteousness touched China, so Guan Gong is the only god worshiped by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, known as "beautiful bearded prince", and more "martial saint" and "martial wealth god". Wu Caishen Guan Gong set "loyalty, filial piety, festival, righteousness" in one, not only to attract wealth, but also to keep the town safe.

Guan Gong wants to kill people when he opens his eyes, but Guan Yu himself is a loyal and righteous person, so he will not kill innocents indiscriminately. Guan Yu is a protector when he opens his eyes, and the evil demons can't get close.

If you don't close your eyes, this life will be over, haha.

The difference between Guan Gong's closed eyes and open eyes is that whether the statue's eyes are closed or not has a different symbol among the people. If it symbolizes bravery and justice, the statue of Guan Gong is generally open-eyed. If Guan Yu is a symbol of auspiciousness and fortune, then the Guan Gong statue is generally with his eyes closed.

One reason why many Guan Gong statues are images with closed eyes is because the appearance of Guan Yu described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is lying silkworm eyebrows and Danfeng eyes, so Guan Yu's eyes are actually slender Ruifeng eyes, if the carver is a little careless, Guan Yu will be portrayed as a closed eye.

Guan Gong

Guan Yu is obviously a military general, and there are two reasons why he became the God of Wealth. One is that Guan Yu is not moved by gold and silver treasures, and in addition, the merchants admire Guan Gong's loyalty and faithfulness very much, and hope that Guan Yu can be the guardian saint of their wealth. There is also Guan Yu's martial arts and integrity, and people hope that businessmen can stick to honest transactions and enshrine Guan Yu as a notary.

The other is that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, merchants were more discriminated against and were vulnerable to robbery by robbers and robbers. Therefore, in order to ensure their financial resources, on the one hand, people ask bodyguards and others to escort them, and on the other hand, they pray for the protection of the gods, and Guan Yu himself is loyal, fair, and strong in martial arts.

During the Cao Ying period, he also invented the bookkeeping method used by merchants in later generations, so people prayed for Guan Yu's protection, and over time Guan Yu became the god of wealth.

Because in the section where Wenjiu beheaded Huaxiong, Guan Yu beheaded Huaxiong as soon as he opened his eyes, so the folk spread the legend that Guan Yu usually didn't open his eyes and killed people when he opened his eyes.

Guan Gong was originally the head of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was respected by the world for his loyalty. After his death, he was gradually deified, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was enshrined as "the Emperor of Loyalty, Righteousness, Martial Spirit, Benevolence, Bravery, and Might", referred to as "Martial Saint", and his status was comparable to that of Confucius, the "Sage of Literature".

Whether in the past or now, there are many people who worship Guan Gong, and gradually Guan Gong is not only a representative of loyalty, but also has another layer of meaning, that is, to attract wealth. In the end, Guan Gong, like Zhao Gongming, was known as the God of Martial Wealth. When Guan Gong was not known as the God of Martial Wealth, there were many people who worshipped him, and when he was called the God of Martial Wealth, there were countless people who worshipped him.

If you are attentive, you may find that Guan Gong worshiped in many places is basically closed eyes, although there are also open eyes, but the number is very rare. I believe that many people have heard of "Guan Gong will kill people when he opens his eyes", in fact, in the traditional folk culture, there is indeed such a saying, thinking that Guan Gong who opens his eyes is too heavy and is not suitable for worship at home, so it is rare to open his eyes Guan Gong. Even if you can see the eyes open in some places, it has a special purpose.

As for the special use, it is the legendary evil and evil spirit, but in general, it is still rare to open your eyes.

As for the statue of Guan Gong, there are several shapes, generally horizontal knife Guan Gong, standing knife Guan Gong, Spring and Autumn Guan Gong, and horse riding Guan Gong. The horizontal knife Guan Gong is the tip of the knife downward, and the folk believe that this kind of Guan Gong has the effect of a town. Standing knife Guan Gong is the tip of the knife pointed upwards, which is believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, but this should pay attention to the direction of the blade.

Spring and Autumn Guan Gong is the image of Guan Gong holding "Spring and Autumn", and is considered to be able to study and succeed in his career. Riding a horse Guan Gong is also very easy to identify, that is, Guan Gong riding a red rabbit horse, Guan Gong himself is strong in martial arts, can pass five levels and kill six generals, plus the red rabbit horse has the implication of success of the horse. In the five elements, Guan Gong belongs to wood, so it is best to choose wood carving when inviting Guan Gong, and it is not necessarily better than copper, and copper is better than wood.

Guan Yu is a well-known figure, from the Three Kingdoms period of the five tiger generals began his image of loyalty and courage to be well known, to the later period Guan Yu was deified, people called him "martial saint", for a time there appeared Wen worship Confucius, Wu worship Guan Gong. So we can see the statue of Guan Yu in many places, including the statue of the God of Wealth or Guan Yu when people open a store now, the purpose is to protect wealth and safety, but careful people will find that Guan Yu's eyes are always closed, and then analyze the reason why his eyes are closed?

The first reason is derived from an allusion to "warm wine and beheading Huaxiong", the princes of all walks of life during the Three Kingdoms period once united to crusade against Dong Zhuo, when Dong Zhuo's one of the generals Hua Xiong was very brave, no one dared to fight, after injuring several generals in a row, Guan Yu went out of the city to fight, but the warm wine on the stove was not cold, Hua Xiong had been beheaded by Guan Yu under the horse, Guan Yu's eyes were closed at that time, so later there was a saying that Guan Gong opened his eyes to kill, and then his sculpture was also shaped like this, The purpose is to achieve the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters.

The second reason is that some people think that Guan Yu is a person with strong self-esteem, so he will be more arrogant in dealing with people, and he always squints when he looks at people, and after a long time, people will feel that Guan Yu's eyes are closed, and naturally his statue was shaped like this later, and some people say that he was killed in the end because of his arrogance.

The third reason is that I personally think that the most untrustworthy one, people think that the conditions in ancient times were not good, and they could only light oil lamps when reading at night, and their eyes were short-sighted in dim light, so they could only squint to see, so the statue was shaped like this.

First of all, the God of Wealth is Marshal Zhao Gong, as well as the "Five Shows God of Wealth", "God of Wealth" and "God of Martial Wealth" Guan Sheng Emperor, generally the family is the fifth day of the first month to receive the God of Wealth. When a new store opens, it's time to welcome the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth is also a little particular, 1, the God of Wealth should be placed near the door of the left and right positions, whether it is Fu Lu Shou three stars or Cai Bao Xingjun must face their own house, in order to be able to enter the wealth.

On the contrary, facing the door, you will send money out of the house, so be careful.

2. The god of wealth such as Guan Gong or Zhao Gongming must face the gate outside the house, which can not only attract wealth, but also keep the town safe.

3. The evil god of wealth, such as the Erawan Buddha, must be enshrined outside the house, such as a garden, an open place on the rooftop, outside the balcony, outside the window or outside the door, in order to make money and attract wealth. Do not place it in the hall or in the room, and do not rank with Guanyin, Buddha, Emperor Guan, and ancestors, otherwise the disaster will appear.

If it can be placed properly and sincerely respected, the house will be safe, the disease will be reduced, and the wealth will be prosperous.

There is no god of wealth in the world, there are only their own good wishes. The only thing to pay attention to in believing in the God of Wealth is to believe in the principle - not blind You can't blindly worship him because you subjectively believe that there is a God of Wealth, and after some flattery from yourself, the God of Wealth still doesn't care, so you go bankrupt to "honor" him. Instead of believing in the God of Wealth, it is better to believe in yourself.

The fruit grown with your own hands is sweeter.
