Pictures of Cai Shen - Deity of Wealth (各路財神)





Cai Shen (財神) aka Deity of Wealth, from the name we shall know, they are Deities that are able to control the wealth or fortune for the mortals.

Since the day when mortal knew how to use money to exchange for other stuffs, Deity of Wealth appeared, not for blessing for mortals to become extremely rich, but to control the flow and movement of the money that involved in the mortals' activities.

So how many Deity of Wealth are there?

Haha, in this World, there are a lot, in folks culture, we have different type of Deity of Wealth, such as Military Wealth (武財), Scholarly Wealth (文財), Directly-Associated Wealth (正財), Physically-Associated Wealth (偏財), Wealth of Sudden Wealth (橫財), etc. Each type of Wealth is being in-charge by one Deity of Wealth.

So who are the famous Historical Characters that are being made to become a Deity of Wealth?

They are:

1) Guan Yu (關羽)
2) Bi Gan (比干)
3) Tao Zhu Gong (陶朱公)

Here, let see who they are....

    Just to update a little bit :P

    Tao Zhu Gong (陶朱公) which actually is Fan Li (范蠡), a real historical character during the Warring State.

    In some contexts, he's the one who presented Xi Shi (西施), one of the Four Beauties of Ancient China, to Duke Wu Fu Chai (吳王夫差).

    Why?

  25. jave wu13 May 2011 at 19:06

    Cos other Energies might entered into the "Null" Pictures, so at the end, you might not know who you are honouring too

  26. Tian Kek Wei13 May 2011 at 20:39

    Master Jave Wu

    Actually I did print a picture from computer and kai kwong. Due to the discolour so I removed it from the frame and put different style of Wu Lu Cai Shen into the frame.This frame which I placed the picture has been kai kwong together with the previous picture. Since frame has been kai kwong before.so placed new picture do kai kwong ok or not.Also, I chanting Wu Cai Shen mantra of you wrote, do that consider kai kwong Wu Lu Cai Shen

    Pls advise

    Regards,
    Tony Tian

    It will be better for you to get someone whom are trained to do a simple Dotting Ceremony for you. Even thou the Frame is being enhanced, but one you start to honour a Null Picture, you might attract the unnecessary Energies from the surrounding to enter into your premises, which will lead to more issues after then
