The custom of worshipping the God of Wealth originated in China, then appeared in Vietnam around the beginning of the 20th century. There are many folk stories to explain this custom.

The story goes that there is no God of Wealth on earth, only a God of Wealth in heaven, who governs money and fortune. One day, while out drinking, the God of Wealth got so drunk that he fell to earth. Whenever the God of Wealth entered a house to beg for food, that house would become rich and have good business… On the 10th day of the first lunar month, the God of Wealth flew back to heaven. To commemorate him, people choose this day as the God of Wealth’s birthday to worship objects and buy gold to pray for good luck and prosperity for the whole year, especially in families doing business.

This legend has permeated the beliefs of many people, becoming a folk belief, so every January 10th of the lunar calendar, many families, especially those doing business, go shopping for offerings to worship the God of Wealth to pray for favorable business, prosperity, wealth, and smooth sailing throughout the year.

On God of Wealth Day, many people often buy gold. Gold not only has practical value and high storage capacity but also symbolizes wealth, prosperity and luck for the new year.

According to feng shui experts, depending on the desire for a year of wealth and good luck in business, people can choose to buy the appropriate amount of gold. Specifically, to pray for Wealth, buy 5 taels of gold, to pray for Prosperity, buy 2 taels, and to pray for Luck, buy 1 tael.

The trend of people rushing to buy gold on the "God of Fortune" day, January 10, hoping for good luck and fortune in the new year has appeared a lot in recent years. But in reality, there is no clear record of this day. On this day, people can buy and sell gold but do not necessarily have to jostle and buy at high prices.

The rush to buy gold on God of Wealth Day is becoming an opportunity for gold trading companies to make huge profits. When buying gold rings, people should choose reputable brands, avoid cases where the gold is not of the right age, avoid losses when reselling and avoid being deducted a lot of processing fees.

According to folk beliefs, the God of Wealth is in charge of Wealth, Prosperity and Luck, bringing wealth, prosperity and luck. In addition to preparing offerings to worship the God of Wealth, buying gold is also something many people often do on this day. Gold not only has practical value and high storage capacity but also symbolizes wealth, prosperity and luck for the new year. However, how to buy gold properly on the God of Wealth's day is something that many people may not know.

Buying gold on God of Fortune Day does not necessarily mean buying too much. Gold is bought mainly in amounts ranging from half a tael to five taels. People buy gold on this occasion purely for luck and not for business purposes.

4. Things to note when buying gold on God of Fortune day

Plain round rings from 0.5 - 2 taels of gold are one of the products that are bought a lot on the day of God of Wealth because of their reasonable price and easy preservation. However, this is also a product line that is likely to lose value when resold or is of unknown origin, not blister-packed, and has no brand.

Experts also recommend that when buying gold on God of Wealth Day, people should pay attention to choosing a reputable store with a variety of designs to choose from, and note clear purchase and sale documents.

Customers often buy 0.5-2 chi plain round rings, so they should choose the type that is sealed in blisters. If you buy a plain round ring that is not sealed in blisters, it is difficult to determine the quality. Because the plain round rings are manufactured by small establishments that do not have enough modern machinery and technology, they may not be guaranteed to be of the right age, also known as young gold.

As for gold bars, you should request a financial invoice, clearly stating the serial number of gold bars of 0.5 chi or 1 luong. In addition to the 10th day of the first lunar month, when buying gold, people also choose the 10th day of the lunar month every month. Avoid buying gold on the 9th day of every month because that is the day to avoid spending money.

Notably, there are gold bars and gold coins. In addition, some stores have launched 3D embossed images of the 12 zodiac animals on the back of the lucky coins in the hope of bringing fortune to the buyer. Behind them is the embossed word "Loc". These images are designed quite meticulously. The product is blister-sealed with high molecular material to ensure durability.
