For the next meeting of the Happy Friends Reading Club, scheduled for 5 pm on Sunday, September 1st, 2013 we will cover chapters 8–10 of Who Owns the Future? by Jaron Lanier (2013… read what you can).

Following a sequence of readings on science fiction, utopia, human economies, and value, we turn to the words of “the prophet of Silicon Valley” (Simon & Schuster, publisher) to wonder whether micropayments can redeem the promises of this dystopia we have sunk into. mmm, sounds a little Utopian.

《正月初五迎财神》

在中国，农历正月初五“接财神”的习俗，盛行于明清民国，迄今犹流传民间。传说中有六位财神掌管人间财物。
1.正财神：赵公明，掌管招宝、纳珍、招财、利市。
2.文财神：范蠡，掌管人间财帛、人世爵位。
3.武财神：关羽，忠诚信义，保护财产。
4.偏财神：刘海蟾，撒钱济贫。
5.南海财神：龙五爷，降瘟除魔。
6.晋商：白圭，治生之祖。
按抽签的方式，初五这天高灵请到了“正财神赵公明”到家作坊, 尘尘请到了“晋商白圭”到家作坊，WB请到了“文财神”到家作坊，CYK请到了“武财神”到家作坊。各路财神各显神通，大家祝福家作坊在新的一年里财源广进！

“Welcoming the Gods of Wealth on the Fifth Day”
In China there is a custom of welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first Month on the lunar calendar. It was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as in the Republic of China, and it is still widely practiced in folk traditions. Legend has it, there are six gods in charge of earthly prosperity.
1. Central God of Wealth: Zhao Gongming, in charge of  attracting abundance of treasures, riches, valuables and money.
2. Civil God of Wealth: Fan Li, in charge of luxuries and positions of nobility.
3. Military God of Wealth: Guan Yu, loyal and faithful, protecting people’s prosperity.
4. Off-Center God of Wealth: Liu Haichan, spreading money to the poor.
5. South Sea God of Wealth: Long Wuye, casting out diseases and ghosts.
6. Shanxi Merchant: Bai Gui, governing the laws of commerce.
Drawing lots, in the 5th day of the first month, Gao Ling invited the Central God of Wealth to HomeShop, CC invited the Shanxi Merchant to HomeShop. WB ushered in the Civil God of Wealth, and CYK summoned the Military God of Wealth. Everyone supplicated to the gods to work effectively to attract a bounty of financial resources in the new year!
