Similar to the door god, the house god is also the guardian god of the family. The house god is generally beneficial to the family. However, it is not necessarily true. It is said that in ancient times, when there was a master who did things against moral standards or against social harmony, the god of family would also slightly punish the wrongdoer, make him suffer from illness, and remind him to repent. In a word, people with family gods will not suffer losses in their property. People who have family gods usually have red and white things to worship at festivals. If someone in the family is ill or has bad luck, they should also worship. As the saying goes, the god of family is not happy because he is left out, so we should respect him! If a family without a god of family goes to a family with a god of family to eat, they must carry something, and the thing they carry is more valuable than the thing they eat. In short, they must not let the family with a god of family suffer, or they will make you vomit as much as you eat.
