Spring has arrived & Lunar New Year is round the corner, here I will do some posting of the Pictures of the Wealth Boy of Zhao Cai & Jin Bao aka Wealth Boy that assist Deities of Wealth in Spreading Luck of Wealth, Prosperity & Fortune (招財進寶童子).
Here, you can see the different forms of Wealth Boy, but actually, most of them are the same. Just that in different Era, different forms are being created and statues are being dedicated to the Boy.
Birthday recorded as 20th Day of Lunar 1 Month & 17th Day of Lunar 9 Month (招財童子誕辰為農曆正月二十日﹐進寶童子誕辰為農曆九月十七日).
So what is their Main Task?
To assist Deities of Wealth to distribute the Luck of Wealth, Prosperity & Fortune, besides that, also to assist in doing recording of the people's names that Deities of Wealth bestowed the luck upon.
So, on the Fifth Day (初五財神日) while you Usher or Welcome in the Deities of Wealth, remember to invite them too.
All the Best and wish All of you here:
