Who is the CHinese god of wealth? Who is Caishen?

Caishen is a temperamental and multifaceted entity, the god of wealth. Much in the same way that the God in Christian tradition is made up of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, so Caishen is divided up into nine different deities, semi-mythical figures from Chinese history who have over time been apotheosized as one of his physical incarnations.

A key part of Daoism and Chinese folk religion, Caishen is the object of prayers across the country, followers hoping some of his vast bounty of wealth, carried about for him by his attendants, will be donated to them.
