Puli Baohu Temple Introduction
The "Earth Mother" originated in China, specifically on the ninth day of the first month in the ninth year of the Guangxu era, at the Earth Mother Temple in Dingmu County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. The teachings of the flying phoenix were passed down, and the worship of the Earth Mother was also transmitted through the Liang family in the Xinanli area of this town, with the recitation of the True Scripture of the Earth Mother never having been interrupted. The Earth Mother, esteemed as the deity governing the land and mountains, is one of the four divine dukes of Taoism, alongside the Jade Emperor, who rules over the heavenly realm. The ancient saying "Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin, Heavenly Lord and Earth Mother" reflects the reverence that ancient people had for both heaven and earth, stemming from humanity's respect for land and nature.
