Puli Bao Hu Gong Earth Mother Temple Introduction
The "Earth Mother" originally comes from China, specifically from the Earth Mother Temple in Jingu County, Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, on the ninth day of the first month in the ninth year of the Guangxu era. The teachings of the flying phoenix and the worship of the Earth Mother were passed down and introduced by the Liang family in the Xinanli community of this town, with the recitation of the Earth Mother sutra being uninterrupted. The Earth Mother Supreme is the deity that governs the mountains and rivers of the earth, one of the Four Emperors of Taoism, alongside the Jade Emperor who rules the heavenly realm. Since ancient times, there has been the saying "heaven is yang and earth is yin, heaven is the emperor and earth is the mother," reflecting humanity's respect for land and nature.
