What the God of Wealth symbolizes and its Application in Symbolism Feng Shui
The God of Wealth, or ‘Chai Sen Yeh’ is one of the most popular symbols of wealth, prosperity and fortune. In ancient times, the God of Wealth was believed to send his attendants out to bestow riches on his devotees. He can be seen in many Chinese buildings and houses, often near the entrances, to help the tenants or inhabitants attract prosperity and wealth to those places as well as to act as a protection for their environments and the income that comes to them. He’s extremely popular in the Chinese community so much so that elaborate rituals are performed during the Chinese lunar new year to welcome the God of Wealth into the household thereby bringing in lots of good fortune and magnifying windfall and speculative luck in life for the year to come.
Display the image of the God of Wealth in your living room, main hall or offices for wealth luck; in good times, he brings prosperity; in bad times, he protects your family from poverty. He is best placed facing directly the entrance. If this is not possible, place the Wealth God diagonally but still facing toward the entrance. Like Fuk Luk Sau, you do not have to pray to this deity.
