You must have heard of the land god, but do you know who the land god is?

The land god, as its name implies, is related to the land. In ancient times, land was generally related to the actual development of rural areas. Rural development often depended on the bumper harvest of agriculture, and farmers also hoped to live a happy life. At this time, there was a kind of god called land god, which is actually the land god, land god, country god and Tubo god we often talk about, and it is one of the most common gods in folk beliefs.

In many film and television works, we can also see local tyrants. They are often affable, grounded and have a strong sense of social responsibility. They often care about the grassroots and pay attention to the most direct and realistic interests of the grassroots. They are the guardians of the grassroots.

? According to historical records, February 2nd every year is called the Land Public Birthday, also known as Social Day Festival. On this day, farmers often set up societies to offer sacrifices, pray or reward the land gods, so as to pray for the earth to nourish everything and harvest crops. In reality, great changes have taken place in ancient social gods, but the custom of offering sacrifices to land gods has remained, and with the migration of Chinese, it has blossomed and taken root in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

In fact, in the traditional cultural system of China, a large number of gods have appeared. They are the epitome of people who have made outstanding contributions to national development, social harmony and people's happiness. A kind of sacrifice and return to the gods, also reflects the consistent fine character of the Chinese nation, and also reflects the people's yearning for a better life in China. It is also in line with the current vision of China to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. It is both a continuation and a heritage, and it is worth it.
