Is the Tibetan king a bodhisattva on the 19th day of the seventh lunar month?

It's the Christmas of the Earth Treasure King and Bodhisattva.

In the old custom, July 30th is the "Birthday of the Earth Treasure King". In the evening, incense was lit, light-shaped tiles were spread on the floor, and things like ointment and fragrant crumbs were built in. Streets and alleys are everywhere, and they look like daylight when lit.

When people say "the earth hides incense", they worship the king of the earth. Another said that "94 Incense Burning" was to burn incense for Zhang Shicheng at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan, the leader of the peasant uprising, was called the King of Wu in Suzhou and was later destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang. His nickname is Jiu Si, and his birthday is July 20th. He burned incense that day and called it "Jiu Si incense". Later, he was mistaken for "salvation incense" and even called "shit incense".

In the old society, on this day, people took their babies to the temple to send their names and ask the Buddha's blessing to make them "sons of the Buddha". Children wear new shoes every day. This custom has been abandoned for a long time.

Extended data:

The Tibetan Bodhisattva is named after its "faithfulness as earth and quietness as a secret treasure". According to Buddhist scriptures, in previous lives, Tibetan bodhisattvas saved their mothers who suffered in hell several times. Since the long robbery, he has vowed to save all suffering beings, especially those in hell.

Therefore, this Bodhisattva is widely spread by Buddhism because of its virtue of "great filial piety" and "great wish". Therefore, it is generally called "Tibetan Bodhisattva" and has become one of the four great Buddhists in Han Buddhism.

Tibetan monks who came to China to seek dharma in the Tang Dynasty were considered as the embodiment of Tibetan Bodhisattva. Jiuhua Mountain, where the Silla royal monk is located, is also regarded as Huaying Dojo of Tibetan Bodhisattva, so it has become one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, where incense has flourished for thousands of years.
