What immortals are usually worshipped at home?

It is the end of the year again. A few days ago, I chatted with my friends and talked about the immortals enshrined at home during the New Year. I found that the difference between the north and the south of China is really great, and friends in the south said that they only worship the door gods. On our side, there are several besides Pluto. So today we're going to talk about the immortals worshipped at home.

door-god

The gatekeeper should be a god worshipped by every household. People often guard the gatekeeper's idol and stick it on the gate to protect their home. The earliest goalkeepers were Shen Tu and Lei Yu. According to Shan Hai Jing, "There is a big peach tree on Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, which bends 3,000 miles. Its humble branch is called the gate of hell in the northeast, and it is full of ghosts. There is also Er Shen, one is Shen Tu, and the other is Lei Yu, who thinks about the suffering of ghosts. " Later, because of the allusion of Qin and Weichi Gong as gatekeepers for Emperor Taizong, Qin and Weichi Gong also became gatekeepers and the most popular gatekeepers.

Ghost Catcher-The Legend of Beautiful Zhong Kui

Everyone is familiar with Zhong Kui, Shi Tian, but I have asked many friends that there is no custom of offering sacrifices to Zhong Kui. As soon as we entered the aisle in the center of the gate, Zhong Kui was offered. As we all know, Zhong Kui is an exorcist, so offering sacrifices to Zhong Kui also has the function of exorcising ghosts and praying for the good fortune in the town house, which is somewhat similar to the keeper. It is said that Zhong Kui is also regarded as a keeper in many places.

Nanhai Guanyin

Guanyin Bodhisattva, who helps all beings, should be one of the most common immortals in our lives. The houses on our side all face south, facing the mountain and facing the water. Maybe it's because her name is Nanhai Guanyin, so we usually worship Nanhai Guanyin in the south of the yard.

Heaven and earth

The south of the courtyard is dedicated to Guanyin in the South China Sea, and the north is dedicated to heaven and earth. Heaven and earth should be a very old belief, and it is him that people should worship when they get married. But Xiaoyao still doesn't know what god it is, and he hasn't met a similar god anywhere else. Some people say that "heaven and earth" refers to the jade emperor, while others say that "heaven and earth" is simply heaven and earth.

Kitchen God

Every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will be sent to see him off. It is said that on this day, the Kitchen God will go to heaven, and the Jade Emperor will reward and punish every household according to what the Kitchen God said. Therefore, people attach great importance to the kitchen god. On the day of sending the Kitchen God, you must let the Kitchen God eat and drink well, so that you can put in a good word in front of the Jade Emperor and make the coming year better. The difference is that there are many places in the kitchen to worship the kitchen god, while our place is generally enshrined in the main hall.

Tang Jia god of wealth

This is another god throne that little demons don't understand. The family god of wealth enshrined in the center of the main hall should be a combination of many immortals, not just the god of wealth or a fairy. In short, it is to bless a safe and happy little fairy.

Ok, that's all for today. If you know anything, Huan.
