Wu Jing:

Born in the vibrant city of Hengyang, on a crisp autumn day in 2000, I was raised in a family that valued education, creativity, and community service. My early years were marked by a natural curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. This led me to spend countless hours in libraries, exploring the realms of science, literature, and history. My academic journey was a testament to my dedication. Graduating with a degree in Normal English, I was recognized for my academic excellence. This was followed by a pursuit of Master’ s degree in Hunan Normal University, where I specialized in English Translation, a field that has become the cornerstone of my professional career. My journey so far has been a blend of hard work, passion, and a commitment to making a positive difference. I look forward to the future, eager to continue growing, learning, and contributing to my field and the world around me.

78. God of Wealth
Abstract
The image of the God of Wealth emerged with the development of the belief in the God of Wealth. The Five Gods of Wealth are a group widely worshipped by Chinese people as a bridge between the world of God and the world of real life. The Five Gods of Wealth refer to East God Bi Gan, West God Guan Yu, South God Chai Rong, North God Zhao Gongming, and Center God Wang Hai. People believe in and worship the God of Wealth with great devotion in order to get rid of the sufferings of the present world and to satisfy the psychological needs of survival and development. Worshipping the God of Wealth means to collect all the wealth from the five directions in the east, west, south, north and center. Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, people hang the statue to worship the Five Gods of Wealth, which symbolizes that the Chinese people wish for good luck and great wealth.
Key Words: god of wealth; Chinese people; view of wealth

Main Part
I. Chinese People’ s View of Wealth
The concept of wealth is an important part of the belief in the God of Wealth. People express their pursuit of wealth by worshipping the God of Wealth, reflecting the people’ s attitude and view of wealth. The God of Wealth, as the carrier of people’ s belief, is a concentrated manifestation of the people’ s concept of wealth. [1]
Firstly, all the world is bustling with the pursuit of wealth. It is the unchanging desire of people. Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty pointed out that all the hustle and bustle of this world is driven by the desire for gain, revealing the phenomenon of the people running around for wealth. Proverbs such as “People die for money, birds die for food” and “Money makes the Devil turn the mill” also reflect people’ s fervent pursuit of money over the past thousands of years. In Zhao Gongming Helps Gamblers Get Rich, the gambler hopes on the divine power of the God of Wealth and expects to get rich overnight, which reflects a distorted view of wealth. Secondly, wise man makes fortune with morality. In the legend of the God of Wealth, justice and morality are not only the cornerstones to become a god, but also the key conditions for people to obtain the blessings of the God of Wealth. The various moral norms manifested in the legend of the God of Wealth inspire and educate the public, attempting to guide people to pursue wealth in the right way with traditional values, and alerting the public not to abandon traditional ethics and morals and blindly chase after wealth. Thirdly, life and death are as Heaven decrees; and rank and riches are as Heaven bestows them. In the legend, it points out that the amount of wealth is determined by fate, reflecting the unequal distribution of wealth in society. When the gap between people’ s wishes and the reality widens, they will helplessly attribute it all to the fate of heaven, believing that wealth cannot be forced, and that even the God of Wealth cannot change this status quo. To a certain extent, this view also counsels people not to be overly obsessed with the pursuit of wealth, thus effectively balancing people’ s wealth mentality. [2]
Ⅱ. Five Gods of Wealth
East God Bi Gan: Bi Gan was a loyal minister during the Shang Dynasty, who was framed by Daji, a fox demon, and was ordered by Tyrant King Zhou to dig out his heart and die for his direct advice. Jiang Ziya considered his talent to be outstanding and named him the God of Wealth. The people thought he had no heart thus he was fair, and worshipped him as the Civil God of Wealth, in charge of the East Road Wealth. [3]
West God Guan Yu: One of the five strongest generals of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, he was famous for his loyalty, benevolence and courage, and was honored as the Military God of Wealth. He not only blesses the army on the battlefield, but also protects businessmen and their wealth. Guan Yu is a great general of Western Shu, and therefore is in charge of the western road. [4]
South God Chai Rong: the Emperor of later Zhou during the period of Five Dynasties, commonly known as “Master Chai” , was named Celestial King of Fortune after he attained Taoism. After inheriting the throne, Chai Rong was known for his benevolent rule and love for the people. From the Song and Yuan dynasties, he was worshipped as the god of wealth by the people of the vast Central Plains, as well as the protector of kiln workers, builders and the transport industry. When he was young, Chai Rong made his fortune by pushing a small lorry all the way to the south, thus he is in charge of the wealth on the south road.
North God Zhao Gongming: Zhao Gongming is one of the protection deities in Taoism and also the God of Wealth. Legend has it that Zhao Gongming has a black face and thick beard, wears armour, rides a black tiger, and holds a silver whip and an ingot in each hand. Originally being one of the five plague gods, he was named the God of Wealth by Lord Jiang Ziya in the Ming Dynasty novel Creation of God, and was in charge of the wealth of north road. [5]
Center God Wang Hai: Wang Hai was the seventh emperor of the Shang Kingdom in the Xia Dynasty. He invented the oxcart, which facilitated the development of commerce and trade, and is regarded as the protector of commerce and trade. He pioneered Chinese commerce, and is known as the “originator of the Chinese merchants”. He was responsible for blessing the land with fertility and a bumper harvest, and was therefore regarded as one of the gods of wealth, and was ordained by Taoism as the god in charge of the wealth in center road.

 What concept of wealth is reflected in the story ‘Zhao Gongming Helps a Gambler Get Rich’?
 What are the characteristics of the image and duties of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth of the Northern Road?
 Which of the Five Gods of Wealth represents the protector of commerce and trade and why?
Answers

 This story reflects a distorted view of wealth, i.e. the desire to gain wealth quickly through unearned or supernatural powers.
 Legend has it that Zhao Gongming has a black face and thick beard, wears armour, rides a black tiger, and holds a silver whip and an ingot in each hand. Originally being one of the five plague gods, he was named the God of Wealth by Lord Jiang Ziya in the Ming Dynasty novel Creation of God, and was in charge of the wealth of north road.
 Wang Hai represents the protector of commerce and trade. He invented the oxcart, which facilitated the development of commerce and trade, and is therefore regarded as the protector god of commerce and trade.

78. 财神
摘要
财神这一形象是随着财神信仰的发展而出现的。五路财神是广受中国民间信奉的财神群体，是连接神灵世界与生活世界的桥梁。五路财神指的是东路财神比干、西路财神关羽、南路财神柴荣、北路财神赵公明、中路财神王亥。人们无比虔诚地信仰、敬拜财神，是为了摆脱现世的苦难，满足生存和发展的心理需要。拜五路财神，意为收尽东西南北中五方之财。每年正月初五祭拜五路财神，家家户户悬挂财神像，寄托了中国民众对财富的渴望以及迎祥纳福的美好愿望，希冀财神保佑以求大吉大利。
关键词：财神；中国民众；财富观

正文
一、财富观
财富观是财神信仰的重要内容。人们通过敬奉财神来表达对财富的追求，反映出民众对财富的态度与看法。财神作为财神信仰的载体，是民众财富观念的集中体现。[1]
第一，天下攘攘，皆为利往。对财富的追求，是人们千古不变的欲望。汉代司马迁指出“天下熙熙，皆为利来；天下攘攘，皆为利往”，揭示了民众为了利益而奔波的现象。 “人为财死，鸟为食亡”、“有钱能使鬼推磨”等俗语也反映了几千年来人们对钱财的狂热追求。在《赵公明助赌徒得财》中，赌徒寄希望于财神的神力，期待一夜暴富，这反映了扭曲的财富观。第二，君子爱财，取之有道。在财神的传说中，正义和道德不仅是财神成神的基石，也是人们获得财神赐福的关键条件。财神传说所彰显的各种道德规范，感召教化着民众，企图用传统的价值观引导人们以正确的方式追求财富，警醒民众不可抛弃传统伦理道德而盲目地追逐财富。第三，生死有命，富贵在天。在财神的传说里，“生死有命，富贵在天”指出财富的多寡是由命运决定的，反映了社会上财富分配的不平等。当人们的愿望与现实之间的差距拉大时，便会无奈地将这一切归于天命，认为财富不可强求，甚至认为连财神也无法改变这一现状。这种观点在一定程度上也劝诫人们不要过分执着于追求财富，从而有效地平衡人们的财富心理。[2]
二、五路财神
东路财神比干：比干是商朝时期的忠臣，因狐妖妲己陷害，直言进谏而被纣王下令挖心而死。姜太公认为其才华出众，封他为文曲星君，后来百姓认为他无心才公平，将其奉为文财神，掌管东路财源。[3]
西路财神关羽：三国时期蜀汉五虎将之一，以忠义仁勇闻名，被尊为武财神。他不仅在战场上保佑军队，在商场上也保护商人，帮助他们守护财富。关羽是西蜀大将，故而掌管西路财源。[4]
南路财神柴荣：五代后周世宗皇帝，俗称"柴王爷"，得道后被封为天财星君。柴荣继承皇位后爱民如子，以仁政爱民著称。从宋元时期开始，他被广大中原地区百姓奉为财神，同时也是窑工、建筑工和运输业的保护神。柴荣少年时推着小货车一路向南而发财，因此掌管南路财源。
北路财神赵公明：赵公明是道教中的护法神之一，同时也是财神。传说中的赵公明黑面浓须，披铠甲，骑黑虎，两手分别拿银鞭和元宝。其原本是五方瘟神之一，在明朝小说《封神演义》中被姜太公封为武财神，掌管北路财源。[5]
中路财神王亥：王亥是夏朝商国的第七任君主，他发明了牛车，促进了商业贸易的发展，被视为商业和贸易的保护神，开辟了中国商业的先河，人称“华商始祖”。他负责保佑土地肥沃、五谷丰登，因此也被视为财神之一，被道教封为掌管中路财源的神明。

问题
 东路财神比干在《封神演义》中是如何成为文财神的？
 《赵公明助赌徒得财》的故事反映了怎样的财富观？
 北路财神赵公明的形象和职责有何特点？
 五路财神中，哪位财神代表了商业和贸易的保护神，为什么？

参考答案
 在《封神演义》中，比干被陷害，挖心而死。百姓认为比干无心，因此处事公平，所以将其奉为文财神。
 这个故事反映了扭曲的财富观，即希望通过不劳而获或超自然的力量快速获得财富。
 传说中的赵公明黑面浓须，披铠甲，骑黑虎，两手分别拿银鞭和元宝。最初是五方瘟神之一，到了明朝小说《封神演义》中被姜太公封为武财神，掌管北路财源。
 中路财神王亥代表了商业和贸易的保护神。他发明了牛车，促进了商业贸易的发展，因此被视为商业和贸易的保护神。

Please download the powerpoint presentation of the teacher here: [[Media:08_Chin_Lang_Cult_2024.pptx]].

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.

Chinese Language and Culture 2024

2024-12-31T06:20:34Z

Wu Jing: /* Here you can suggest your topic for your final exam paper */

Welcome to Chinese Language and Culture 2024

THU (19:00-19:45,19:55-20:40,20:50-21:35) 至善楼105 MA2 (23级笔译口译 Translation & Interpretation) 中国语言文化 Chinese Language and Culture 2024, Textbook: Woesler 2024, 1 5.9., 2 12.9., 3 19.9., 4 26.9., 5 10.10., 6 17.10., 7 24.10., 8 31.10., 9 7.11., 10 14.11., 11 21.11., 12 28.11., 13 5.12., 14 12.12., 15 19.12., 16 26.12.

=Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations=
#Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective? Did the presentation avoid absolute judgments like "good" or "best", but did it instead use vocabulary like "fascinating", "surprising" etc. and also indicated to whom it is fascinating/surprising etc. and why?
#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?
#Did the presentation consider the same cultural phenomenon both in China and in other countries, at least as a comparison?
#Did the presentation avoid mistakes like reading out text in a boring way, pronounciation mistakes, typos in the English text?
#Did you indicate the sources you have used at least on the last page of your presentation in the form of a list?
#Did you upload your ppt file successfully (if not, did you contact the teaching assistant to upload)?
#Did you present your ppt file in the full screen mode?
#Did you arrive early in classroom to copy your file onto the desktop of the class computer and did you check it and also any embedded or accompanying video files etc. if everything works properly including sound?
#Did the presentation avoid deadly mistakes like plagiarism, using ai without indicating it (if you use ai to create the presentation, you need to indicate the platform and the full prompt you gave to ai and the main adjustments you did to the prompt), using ideology, patriotism, politics, religious beliefs, advertisement for products, ignorance (e.g. that a cultural phenomenon is wide spread in Asia and the origin is unclear, but claiming it was Chinese and originated in China), racism, prejudices, telling lies, spreading false rumors etc.?

=How to write your final exam paper?=
Just write it like the other chapters in the textbook on your personal wiki homepage beneath the learning progress diary until 
'''December 31, 2024 (deadline)'''.

About 1000 words in English, followed by a Chinese translation (no machine translation). You can also write in Chinese and translate into English. Both texts need to be like the other papers in the textbook.

==Sections==
Title, student name, Abstract, Main part, illustrations, Terms and Expressions, Questions, Answers, References, and AI Statement.

The AI statement should look like this:

I hereby guarantee that I have not used the help of AI to write my final paper in this course.

or, if you actually use AI

'''How about letting AI write for me?'''

Your AI statement in the References section needs to look like this:

To help me to write my final paper, I have used the following AI chatbot: ... I have prompted the chatbot with the following prompt: "..." I found the following problems with the outcome: ... I have adjusted the output by the following measures (revising prompt as: "...." or manually correcting the following references: ... Written the following passage new: ...).

If you use AI, not your paper will be graded, but your prompt and adjustments

==References==
*Please add the sources in the form "(Wang 2020, 445)" behind each paragraph and with a long entry in the References section.
*In the References section, please add at least 1-2 Western sources. It is always good to relate the Chinese tradition to similar traditions in other countries.
*In the English version of your References, please add the Pinyin to the Chinese names and titles. Everything needs to be readable in English characters.

==Formatting==
*Please also add free lines at places where you want to have a line break, e.g. after a header.

Please download the powerpoint presentation of the teacher here: [[Media:08_Chin_Lang_Cult_2024.pptx]].

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.
