According to feng shui expert Nguyen Song Ha, the offering tray for worshiping the God of Wealth is usually prepared with basic offerings such as candles, incense, 3 cups of water, 3 cups of wine, rice, salt, votive paper money and cigarettes.
Homeowners can also buy more small change, betel and areca, sticky rice with green beans, candies and fresh flowers, of which chrysanthemums or gerberas are popular choices.
On the Day of the God of Wealth, many families also prepare a set of tam sen including boiled pork, boiled eggs and shrimp, symbolizing prosperity and fullness. Depending on the conditions, you can also offer grilled snakehead fish or roasted pork banh hoi to make the offering tray more solemn.
Expert Nguyen Song Ha also noted that people performing rituals need to keep their bodies clean, dress neatly, and maintain a solemn mindset when performing the ritual. Homeowners should avoid eating some types of meat belonging to the four sacred animals such as dogs, cats, as well as carp, soft-shell turtles or snakes...
