There is no specific division of the scope of the land under the jurisdiction of the land public. Its jurisdiction is based on the "square", that is, a party's land (god); but its jurisdiction is actually based on the existence of people, that is to say, there are people. Land fathers exist wherever they exist. In different regions, the names and images of land fathers are also different, and some are accompanied by land mothers. Land fathers are one of the Chinese folk beliefs, also known as the God of Fortune. The protection god, blesses the health and safety of the whole family, and represents people's awe of one land and hope for a better life.
There are many theories about the origin of the father-in-law of the land. One of the more popular ones is that the father-in-law of the land was originally named Zhang Fude. He was a clean and honest official in the Zhou Dynasty. Another theory is that the father-in-law of the land is Julong, the eleventh grandson of Emperor Yan. Because of his meritorious service in pacifying Kyushu, he was named Houtu and was worshiped as a god of society after his death. There is also a saying that the father-in-law of the land is a god evolved from nature worship, without a specific personality and historical background. Different regions and cultures may have different legends and beliefs, but they express people's awe and gratitude for the land.
