福州财神庙，祈福求财十分灵验！该庙始建于唐末，已有千年历史。庙内专门供奉赵公明，因赵公明为财神爷，故玄坛庙又称财神庙。

Fuzhou God of Wealth Temple is highly effective in offering blessings and attracting wealth! This temple was originally established at the end of the Tang Dynasty, with over a thousand years of history. It is dedicated to Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth. Because Zhao Gongming is regarded as the God of Wealth, the temple is also known as Xuantan Temple (玄坛庙), or more commonly as the God of Wealth Temple.

我国民众供奉的财神中，赵公明被公认为华夏第一正财神。赵公明财神神像，多为黑面浓须，骑黑虎，一手执银鞭，一手持元宝，全副戎装。《封神演义》中有姜子牙封神一节，封赵公明为“金龙如意正乙龙虎玄坛真君”，率领招宝天尊、纳珍天尊、招财使者和利市仙官等，统管人世间一切金银财宝。

Among the Gods of Wealth worshipped by the people in our country, Zhao Gongming is widely recognized as the first and foremost righteous God of Wealth in China. His statue typically depicts him with a black face and thick beard, riding a black tiger. He holds a silver whip in one hand, and in the other, he has a fully armored gold ingot.

In the classic Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi (The Investiture of the Gods), there is a story where Jiang Ziya appoints Zhao Gongming as the “Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhenyi Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun”. He is depicted as leading the Zhaobao Tianzun (Lord of Treasure), Nazhen Tianzun (Lord of Treasures), the Messenger of Wealth, and the Immortal Official of Prosperity, overseeing all the wealth, gold, and treasures in the human world.

长期以来，到福州财神庙祈福求财的善男信女络绎不绝，求财得财者比比皆是，也让这座神奇的寺庙香火旺盛，更增添了许多神秘的色彩。
