What day is the God of Wealth Day 2024?
What day is the God of Wealth Day? According to tradition, the God of Wealth Day falls on the 10th day of the first lunar month. In 2024, the God of Wealth Day will be on February 19, 2024, which is the 10th day of the first lunar month in the Year of the Rat (2024).
The origin of the God of Wealth Day is based on ancient legends. According to the legend, the God of Wealth got drunk and fell down to the mortal world once, hitting his head on a rock and losing his memory. Many people saw him dressed like a performer, so they took his clothes and sold them. With no valuable possessions, the God of Wealth had to beg for food everywhere, and luckily, he received a meal from a kind restaurant owner.
The restaurant was not popular and didn’t have many customers, but as soon as the God of Wealth stepped in, business suddenly boomed, and customers flocked in from everywhere. However, the restaurant owner saw the ragged and worn-out appearance of the God of Wealth and worried that it would affect other customers, so he kicked him out. Since then, the restaurant returned to its previous state of emptiness.
Seeing this, many other business owners tried various ways to invite the God of Wealth to their establishments. In one instance, someone took the God of Wealth to buy new clothes, and in the store, he saw his old clothes, which reminded him of his true identity, so he flew back to heaven. That day was the 10th day of the first lunar month.
Since then, business owners have established altars and chosen the 10th day of the first lunar month as the annual God of Wealth Day. On this day, people will go shopping for offerings to pray for prosperity and good luck for the whole year.
