The God of Wealth, a member of the Taoist pantheon, is one of the most popular deities with the Chinese people of all walks of life. The god, however, varies from period to period, and from place to place. In modern times, there have been legends about a God of Wealth with a civil mien and a God of Wealth with military bearing. Of all the Gods of Wealth, the best-known has been Zhao Gongming, alias Zhao Xuantan. There are also two legends about this deity. One, based on the Feng Shen Yan Yi (Romance of the Canonized Gods), a novel by Xu Zhonglin of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), says that a person named Zhao Gongming once made his home in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei, cultivating himself according to Taoist doctrines. After he had attained the Tao, he acquired an immortal frame, extraordinary military skills, a black tiger as his mount and an iron rod as his weapon, complete with two talismansa Sea Calming Pearl and a Dragon-Tying Rope. Then King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty sent for him to help fight Jiang Ziya, the field marshal of King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty. In the battle to break through Jiang Ziya's Ten-Impasse Formation Zhao Gongming inflicted a disastrous defeat on Jiang Ziya. Because Zhao had assisted the tyrant King Zhou in oppressing the people, he was shot to death by arrows. Afraid lest the spirit of the departed should try to seek revenge, the victorious field mar shal honoured Zhao Gongming with the tide of God of Wealth.
