A titanium steel enamel alloy amulet pendant depicting the Taoist deity "Zhao Gongming, the Marshal of the Zhengyi Xuantan, the God of Wealth"

Zhao Gongming, God of Wealth

This amulet-style pendant is handcrafted by Taoist artisans. The titanium steel enamel case is carved from an alloy and coated with durable enamel, ensuring its color will last for years (note: the color may oxidize naturally).

Obverse: Depicts Zhao Gongming, the orthodox Taoist deity. Zhao Gongming, also known as Zhao Xuantan and Zhao Gongshuai, is a recognized martial god of wealth in both Taoist and folk beliefs, and one of the Four Protectors of Taoism. He commands the four immortal officials of Attracting Treasures, Attracting Treasures, Attracting Wealth, and Profitable Markets, overseeing wealth and fortune in the human world.

• Symbolism: Zhao Gongming symbolizes justice, authority, power, and wealth.

Reverse: Inscribed with the Taoist Hetu Luoshu.

Understanding Zhao Gongming embodies the pursuit of "righteousness and profit" in traditional Chinese business culture—a desire for wealth while also respecting integrity and justice. He sits high above the Xuantan Temple, riding a black tiger and wielding a golden whip, bringing abundant wealth to the faithful. He is China's foremost martial god of wealth.

Small yet powerful, this talisman makes a meaningful gift or a personal amulet.
