How many folklore and fairy tales are there about the God of Wealth?
The folklore of the ancient god of wealth: among the people, besides Zhao Gongming, there are three historical figures who are revered as the god of wealth: First, Shang Zhouwang's uncle Bigan was honest and upright, opposed to Zhou Wang, and was cut open by Zhou Wang, which is the famous story of Bigan's heart. According to folklore, he lost his "selfishness" and acted fairly. The second is Fan Li, a counselor of Gou Jian, the King of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, who formulated a "honey trap" to help Gou Jian destroy Wu and complete his hegemony. However, he realized that the King of Yue "could be embarrassed with * * *, but not with * * *" and went into business anonymously, and finally settled in pottery (now Dingtao County, Shandong Province), which was called "Tao Zhugong" in history. He made a fortune in business, but he also dispersed his wealth. The third is Guan Yu, the general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was trapped in Cao Ying, unmoved by gold and silver, beautiful women and wealth, and finally left. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was regarded as a loyal and powerful "Devil Conqueror" and "Emperor Guan Sheng". In modern times, merchants regarded the above four people as "God of Wealth" (Fan Li and Bigan) and "Wu Caishen" (Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu) respectively.
