Tudi Gong: The Earth God of Chinese Taoism and Folk Belief
Tudi Gong (Chinese Taoist Earth God Statue), literally translated as the “Earth Lord” or “God of the Land,” is one of the most revered and ubiquitous deities in Chinese folk religion and Taoism. Unlike lofty celestial gods, he serves as the divine grassroots administrator, a kindly guardian of a specific local vicinity—be it a village, neighborhood, field, or even a single household.
As a Taoist immortal, he is part of the vast celestial bureaucracy, responsible for reporting the conduct of residents to higher gods. In daily life, he is intimately involved in the well-being of the community. People pray to him for practical blessings: bountiful harvests, wealth and fortune, safety while traveling, and overall domestic peace. He is famously known for warding off malevolent spirits and influences.
He is most often depicted as a benevolent, smiling old man with a long white beard, dressed in simple robes like a Ming Dynasty official. He carries a dragon-headed staff and a ingot symbolizing power and wealth. He is frequently shown alongside his cheerful wife, Tudi Po (Earth Grandma), who helps him in his duties. Small shrines for Tudi Gong are commonplace, found under trees, at village entrances, or in homes, symbolizing his close connection to the people and the land they inhabit.
