【“恭喜发财”背后的男神】春节里常听到“恭喜发财”。这句祝福语的背后,是中国人一年一度最重要的“男神”——财神。春节当中,有“破五迎财神”的习俗。这一天,人们迎接的多是赵公明及其统领的五路财神。也正因为如此,正月初五,成了许多商家选择开业、开市的吉日。
视频中出现的这些财神主题绘画,都来自清华大学艺术博物馆新年专题展春满乾坤福满门。 #财神# #恭喜发财# #春节文化# #中国年俗# #迎财神# One of the most common New Year greetings in Chinese is “gong xi fa cai” — literally, “wishing you to get rich.” Behind this phrase stands one of the most important figures of the Chinese New Year: the God of Wealth.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Years, people traditionally welcome the God of Wealth. That’s also why many businesses choose this day to reopen for the year.
