According to legend, Thần Tài is the God who governs money and wealth in heaven. He fell down to the mortal world and brings luck to the people. On the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, He returns to heaven, so people believe that if they buy gold on this day, they will have good fortune and wealth throughout the year.
In the past, only business people used to buy gold on Thần Tài vía day with the purpose of seeking wealth for the new year. Over time, people from various occupations, even non-business people, flock to buy gold on this day with the unfounded belief that gold symbolizes wealth, luck, and prosperity for the new year.
According to feng shui experts, on the Thần Tài vía day, when buying gold, one should pay attention to some points to avoid financial loss.
Firstly, when choosing to buy gold on Thần Tài vía day, the buyer must choose a reputable store to ensure quality. Especially, it is necessary to choose a trustworthy place with clear purchase and sale documents. This is because many cases where people buy low-quality gold may face difficulties in liquidation and especially, the gold may lose its value.
If people buy plain, round rings, they should choose the laminated type. Some types of plain, round rings are produced at small-scale facilities without enough modern machinery and technology, so they may not guarantee the required age or are also known as immature gold.
