1、武财神关公是迎财神，必须朝向大门才可以将财运引入门，所以，关公的供奉一定是朝向大门的方向。

1. Guan Gong, the God of wealth, is the God of wealth. He must face the gate before he can lead wealth into the gate. Therefore, Guan Gong's worship must be in the direction of the gate.

2、家里摆放武财神关公像时，不能与祖先并排摆放，因为祖先是家神，不能与天神平辈，但可将祖先排位放于天神前面或底下一点，这样就可以达到招财进福保平安的作用。

2. When placing the statue of Guan Gong, the God of wealth, at home, it cannot be placed side by side with the ancestors, because the ancestors are the gods of the house and cannot be on the same level as the gods of heaven. However, the ancestors can be placed in front of or below the gods of heaven, so as to achieve the function of Attracting Wealth, bringing happiness and ensuring peace.

3.在供奉关公像之前，一定要请大德的师父给关公像开光，这样才能有庇护和招财的灵气，否则只是作为工艺品，无法实现庇佑的效果。

3. Before worshipping the statue of Guan Gong, you must ask the master of Dade to open the statue of Guan Gong. Only in this way can you have the spirit of protection and fortune. Otherwise, it can only be used as a handicraft and cannot achieve the effect of protection.

4、在请关公像前要先准备三个果盘，连续早上上三天香，之后可以根据自己的时间上香，条件允许每天早上三支香，条件不允许的话初一十五早上各一次。往香炉上插香时，最好插在香炉的中心位置。如上三炷香，先插中间，后插左右两边，中间的香烛要稍高一些。寓意是心中福佑。跪拜时，要五体投地；平身时，要端正身躯，此举以示虔诚。

4. Before inviting Guan Gongxiang, you should first prepare three fruit trays and serve incense for three consecutive days in the morning. Then you can serve incense according to your own time. If conditions allow, three incense sticks in the morning. If conditions do not allow, one in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year and one in the morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. When inserting incense into the incense burner, it is best to insert it in the center of the incense burner. As for the above three incense sticks, first insert them in the middle, then insert them on the left and right sides. The incense candles in the middle should be slightly higher. The moral is that the heart is blessed. When kneeling down, you should throw yourself to the ground; When flattening, straighten your body to show piety.

5、供品3天左右换一回，要保持新鲜，水果、点心都可，撤下来的供品可以给家里人食用，祛病免灾，是很好的。

值得提醒的是：供奉关公的同时，一定要以关公的“忠义仁勇”精神，作为自己为人处事的准则，诚实做人，诚信作事，以人为善，公平正义。只有这样，才能够得到关公的福佑和庇护，也才能够逢凶化吉，万事如意。如果心术不正，自私自利，欺骗狡诈，关公是不会福佑和庇护的。

It is worth reminding that while worshipping Guan Gong, we must take Guan Gong's spirit of "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage" as the criterion for our conduct. We should be honest and do things in good faith, be kind to people, and be fair and just. Only in this way can we get Guan Gong's blessing and protection, and also can we turn bad into good and everything goes well. Guan Gong will not be blessed and protected if he is dishonest, selfish and deceitful.
