Puli Baohuguang Temple Introduction
The "Earth Mother" originally came from China, specifically from the Earth Mother Temple in Jincheng County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, during the ninth year of the Guangxu era on the ninth day of the first lunar month. The teachings of the Earth Mother were transmitted by Fei Luan, and the worship of the Earth Mother also spread through the Liang clan of the Xinanli village in this town, where the recitation of the true scriptures of the Earth Mother has never ceased. The Earth Mother, revered as the supreme deity, governs the earth and mountains, and is one of the Four Sovereigns of Taoism, parallel to the Jade Emperor who rules the heavens. Since ancient times, there has been a saying, "Heaven above, Earth below; the Heavenly Father and the Earth Mother," reflecting humanity's reverence for land and nature.
