Legend says that every lunar New Year, the god of wealth descends from heaven to inspect his followers. Chinese people across Asia will eat dumplings on this day, as they are thought to resemble ancient ingots of precious metal. After the dumplings, Chinese begin to welcome Tsai Shen (actually a picture of Tsai Shen) with words of wishes of wealth and prosperity on each side of the deity.People say that after being offered sacrifices, Tsai Shen leaves for heaven on the second day of the lunar New Year. People will burn the picture they welcomed on the New Year’s Eve and “see” the deity off, wishing for a luckier and more prosperous year.
