終南山下，

周至縣中，

趙大村内，

趙家府上，

誕生公明，

天資聰慧，

長成入道，

煉成昇天。

如今，衹要你有到【西安市】，便可前往【周至縣。集賢鎮。趙代村（早期稱【趙大村】）】，此地便是【趙玄壇公】的故鄉，也是【趙玄壇公】下葬之所在。

農曆三月十五日（國曆4月11日），便是【五路財神】之首的【趙玄壇公】聖誕之日。

在去年有請【正一玄壇財神斗】的信眾們，前往別忘了在農曆三月十四日晚，在自家堂（壇）上及【正一玄壇財神斗】前，舉行簡單的拜拜答謝儀式。

如果在這段期間有“發”的人，那就得多準備一瓶好的白酒及三牲禮來答謝。

答謝之時，無須多求，衹要誠心朝敬，【趙玄壇公】自然會再下降庇佑。
