Which dynasty was Lei Gong from?

Leigong, also known as Raytheon, is an ancient legend and is said to be a courtier of the Yellow Emperor.

In ancient times, people were full of awe of natural phenomena, so the image of Lei Gong was deeply rooted in folklore. He is portrayed as a powerful and majestic god who can manipulate lightning, punish evil and protect good.

In fairy tales, Lei Gong usually travels in the sky with a thunder hammer in his hand, rides in a thunder car and monitors the good and evil on earth. His anger can cause earth-shattering thunder and lightning, and let lawless people get the punishment they deserve. At the same time, tripterygium wilfordii is also regarded as the protector of the law, protecting justice and order. In the traditional culture of China, the image of Lei Gong often appears in plays, novels and paintings, symbolizing the power of justice.

Lei Gong not only occupies an important position in folk beliefs, but also is regarded as the protector of law in Taoism and Buddhism. In Taoist classics, Leigong is regarded as an important god in the sky and has a high status. In Buddhism, Lei Gong is regarded as one of the kings of France, guarding the practice of Buddhism.

Historical origin

The Han Dynasty's "Huainanzi Terrain Training" records: "Razer has a god and a dragon has a head." "On Lei Heng Preface" records: "The painter is as heavy as a drum as thunder. The other picture shows a person. If he is good at it, he is called Lei Gong. Let him lead the drum with his left hand and push the vertebra with his right hand. It looks like a blow. " "Poem Weft Containing Fog" records: "Hua Xushi was pregnant and sacrificed because of stepping on Raytheon's footsteps."

In the Song Dynasty, Taiping Yulan Volume 13 quoted Shangshu Hongfan: "Lei is the eldest son of heaven and earth, with its head, everything goes in and out with it. Thunder comes out of the ground 183 days, return, enter, and everything enters. When you go to the ground and come back in 183, everything will come out. "

According to the "Tian Yuqing Lei Yujing", (Lei Gong) is the Lord of the heavens, holding the balance of everything and killing people with things in his hand. Meng Qian Bi Tan records that Leizhou is full of thunder, and there are thunder temples and many thunder wedges in it.
