Puli Baohuguang Earth Mother Temple Introduction
"Earth Mother" originated in China. On the ninth day of the first month in the ninth year of the Guangxu era, the Earth Mother temple in Changgu County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, was established. The teachings of the Earth Mother were spread and the incense offerings were passed down, starting from the Liang family in the Xinan Village of this town, continuously reciting the True Scripture of the Earth Mother without interruption. The Earth Mother is the supreme deity that governs the earth and mountains and is one of the Four Sovereigns of Taoism, ranking alongside the Jade Emperor who rules the heavenly realm. Since ancient times, there has been the saying "Heaven is Yang and Earth is Yin," and the respect for heaven and earth by ancient people stems from humanity's reverence for land and nature.
