Where did the Chinese gods come from?

Chinese "gods" come from reverence. It is not the same type of god as in the West. For those who worked for the welfare of the people at that time, the people made them "gods" for future generations to look up to and learn from. The saying goes, "If you are born upright, you will die a god." Some of the "gods" in traditional Chinese culture are actually representatives of a collective. The "gods" of traditional Chinese culture are not superstitious, nor are they idolatrous. There is no superstition, nor is it idolatry, but some people mystify it. This is the only person in the world who has the concept of "immortality", which brings us to essence (the core spirit), qi (which should strictly be written as "qi", without fire as "qi", i.e., personal character, self-cultivation), and the "qi" of the individual. (i.e., one's personality, self-cultivation), and Shen (the realm of altruism and egolessness). When a person's personality can be harmonized, his or her spirit can be immortalized and reach the state of immortality. Chinese traditional culture "God" is never the master, but to tell the world how to live in the world of reason, so-called: no door to disaster and happiness, but people call themselves. Once upon a time, the entrance to the City God Temple erected a couplet: the heart of the evil thoughts in this incense burning no good; just and upright to see me not to see what harm this is called "God".
