God of Wealth includes the literary God of Wealth and the martial God of Wealth:
The God of Wealth is the Tai Bach Tinh Quan and the Tam Da Tinh Quan. The Tai Bach Tinh Quan symbolizes the God who manages the world's gold and silver, so people often place the God's statue in the position of wealth.
The Three Great Stars are the Three Stars of Happiness, Prosperity, and Longevity. The Three Stars of Happiness hold a baby in their arms, symbolizing that having a child brings good fortune in all things. The Stars of Wealth wear colorful court robes, holding a Ruyi jade in their arms, symbolizing promotion, wealth, and prosperity. The Stars of Longevity hold a peach in their arms, symbolizing health, wealth, and longevity.
Of the three, only Loc Tinh is the God of Wealth, but people have always made the same statue. If all three stars are placed in the Wealth position, the whole family will be happy, prosperous, and blessed.
The martial god of wealth includes Trieu Cong Minh with a black mouth and black face, who specializes in commanding the four gods Chieu Bao, Nap Tran, Chieu Tai, and Loi Thi, who can help increase wealth and fortune and can subdue demons and monsters, and Quan Thanh De, who is the character Quan Cong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who helps attract talented people, promote wealth, make business smooth, avoid disasters, and protect the body from evil spirits.
People who are military officials, soldiers or businessmen should worship the God of Wealth or place his statue in the direction of wealth, facing the door. Some people also place statues of Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu to ward off evil spirits, chase away villains, and bring success in business.

In addition to the God of Wealth, the following elements can be placed on the altar to increase financial luck:
God of Wealth tablet:It is usually expressed by the words "Chieu tai tien bao" or on both sides of the altar there is a parallel sentence "Tho nang sinh bach ngoc - Dia kha xuat hoang kim" (The earth can give birth to white jade - The earth can also give pure gold). In front of the tablet there is also one hundred gold bars.
Incense jars and flower vases:Usually made of porcelain, can also be made of green stone. Flowers used for worship should be fresh, not dried.
Incense bowl:Usually made of three basic materials: porcelain, metal, and stone (jade). When taking the incense bowl, the body must be clean.
After picking it up, ask a virtuous master to consecrate it or bring it to the temple and leave it on the altar for about a week before taking it home. Do not use a wet towel to clean the altar, because the altar is of the Fire element, and Water overcomes Fire, which is not good.
Plate containing three cups of rice, salt, water, wine:Must be renewed when burning incense and praying to the God of Wealth. Some places use three jars of rice, salt, and water and only pour them out for the New Year's Eve ceremony, and the offerings are replaced with five cups of water (wine) symbolizing the five elements.
Three-legged toad:Choose a beautiful, shallow porcelain bowl, fill it with water and pick some flowers and spread them on the water surface (making Minh Duong Tu Thuy) - a way to keep money from flowing away.
To welcome financial luck, in the morning before going to work or going out, you can turn the toad's head outwards. After work, turn the toad's head inwards on the altar because it only eats money but does not excrete it. When you return home in the evening, you spit out the money you swallowed to the homeowner.
Serious mistakes when worshiping God of Wealth
1. Do not place incense sticks overlapping each other.
Each direction bowl should have the core of the Seven Treasures package so that wealth is not lost. If the homeowner sticks the incense sticks overlapping each other or poking the Seven Treasures package, it will cause the God of Wealth and the God of Earth to lose their spiritual energy. Not only will it not attract wealth, this mistake will also cause the homeowner to fail in business and be poor all their lives.
2. Statue of God of Wealth and God of Earth
If you only invite the God of Wealth and the God of Earth to place on the altar without sticking a Chinese character label on the back of the altar, then worshiping is the same as not worshiping, no one will witness.
3. Mirror tablet
In the arrangement of the altar for wealth and peace, if there is no altar, the homeowner's wealth will be depleted, all the money earned will be gone, not a single penny will be saved.
4. Placing the God of Wealth altar incorrectly
Should not be placed near the toilet, in front of the mirror or kitchen or be hit by sharp corners of other objects.
5. Lack of wealth bowl
The altar of the God of Wealth would be extremely harmful if it lacked jars of rice, salt, and water. It would be even more harmful if it lacked the bowl of prosperity (a deep glass bowl filled with water and sprinkled with fresh flowers).
6. The color of the altar conflicts with the homeowner's destiny.
Not only is it a spiritual issue, the placement of the altar is also directly related to destiny and feng shui. When choosing an altar, you should also choose colors that benefit your destiny, avoiding conflicts that cause loss of wealth.
