What is the custom of God of Wealth Festival? What should I eat?

The God of Wealth Festival is a festival for the Han and Tu people in China to worship the God of Wealth. It's usually on July 22nd of the lunar calendar. It is said that this day is the birthday of the rich Star King. On this day, people usually hang lanterns and pray for a bumper harvest next year. Many people also pay tribute to the God of Wealth in Zhongyue Temple, God of Wealth Pavilion and other places, hoping to bless them with good luck. In addition, in ancient China, the Shang Dynasty was the God of Wealth, and Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms was Wu Caishen, so the fifth day of the first month of each year was also a day to worship the God of Wealth.

Every day, every household will burn incense and kowtow in front of the statue of God of Wealth. The offerings are mostly eight or twelve colors, and the rich will also offer steamed fish and whole sheep. After the worship and prayer, the whole family wrapped up jiaozi and held a banquet to celebrate; Sacrificial ceremonies usually last until 8 pm, and lanterns are usually hung high and firecrackers are set off to pray for a bumper harvest next year.

During the sacrifice in the first month, the red candle had a high fever and firecrackers exploded. Noodles are made into ingots and sacred insects, or money is made into dried dragons. Eating jiaozi is called "Yuanbao", which means turning money into treasure. In recent years, as one of the most distinctive festivals in Qingdao, the God of Wealth Festival on July 22nd of the lunar calendar is the time when hairy crabs are on the market. Fat and beautiful, the crab ceremony is in power, and wealth is rampant, which is deeply loved by the general public and businessmen. People want their wealth to be like crabs, so the best hairy crab among crabs has become a "must-kill dish".
