Happy new year! I went to a Chinese lunar new year celebration for the very first time. Was wondering what these "gold boats" were :)

And you got a picture with the god of Wealth and Prosperity too.
The gold sycee is the symbol of wealth and prosperity prominently portrayed in annual lunar New Year's celebrations.
If that gold sycee was real, this poor fellow would have a stiff back this morning. Lol!
Happy Chinese New Year! 🧧

I did not know who he was representing! Thank you so much for this information; I've updated my blog post to include the name of Caishen (财神). 🙏
I believe he is part of the Sanxing trio of luck, Fu, Lu, and Shou representing fortune, prosperity and longevity. My grandmother had the three figurines in her home, I thought they were a singing group when I was little.
