City God Temple and Land Temple, what is the difference between them?

The land temple is also known as the Fude Temple, Bogong Temple, which is generally a small building built spontaneously in the folk village, with simple shape, very small scale, and often extremely simple. The nature enshrined in the land temple is the land lord, also known as the god of good fortune. In fact, the land lord is the personification of the ancient Chinese land worship.

China is an agricultural country, and the land can produce grains, is the foundation of agriculture, is the "food and clothing" of human beings, people in order to pray for a good harvest and sacrifice to the land, this is the origin of the land and the temple of the land. Ancient Chinese worshippers were made to the "shrine god", which was the earliest land god, the god who managed a small piece of land.

The god enshrined in the temple is the city god, and the original meaning of the city god is the city. In ancient China, the city wall was generally built with earth, and there were trenches dug around the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking. Therefore, "Chenghuang" is the combined name of the city wall and the moat, which is used to protect the peace of the city and resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

As the name suggests, the god Chenghuang is the patron deity of the city.

The land temple is in charge of one side of the land, such as a county, a state, a county, a prefecture!! And the City God Temple refers to the management of a city.

No matter what the difference between the City God Temple and the Land Temple is, it is a place set up to respect various gods and goddesses, and it has no great practical use.

The offerings of these two temples are different, so the differences are not the same, and the things blessed are also different.

The difference between the land temples is still very big, one is next to the land and the other is enshrined by the people.

The city god and the land god enshrined in the two temples can freely enter and exit the three worlds of heaven, earth, and earth, and each has its own incense hall deity in the three worlds. The City God and the Land God are just immortal titles, not specific immortal names.

The land public rule can only manage a small piece of land, which is equivalent to the village chief and the lieutenant chief. Therefore, the land temple is the most widely distributed sacrificial building in China, and it is distributed in villages all over the country. The land is the smallest god.

The Temple is dedicated to the founder of the first castle!

The difference between the villagers' self-government committee and the county**.

I don't know exactly what the difference is, but they are all places where the gods are enshrined, and most people nowadays don't believe in such things.

The land temple is divided into several land temples in one place, but there are not so many city god temples.

These are all things in the mythology of our country, and the truth does not exist, but in the mythology, the City God Temple has greater rights!

In the Taoist cultural belief area, the land and the city god are indispensable guardian deities. Where there are mountains and forests, there are mountain gods, and where there are villages, there are also lands. The land is the lowest god, and in addition to protecting the safety of one party, he also has to obey the orders of the high-ranking gods.

The city god belongs to the category of righteous gods, and the official rank of the same city god is not necessarily the same, because the county has the county god, and the state has the state city god, and the official position of the city god depends on whether the city is a big city or a small city.

The land temple is just a myth and legend, the land of the land of the place of residence, the land of the land is only the management of a hundred miles of the place, some people will worship the land temple, to the land of the land to send fruits and cakes, to worship the land of the land, is to hope that the land of the land in their own jurisdiction, to keep a safe.

Those who worship the land lord are generally businessmen who need to develop the land, praying that in the process of development, the project will be smooth and the personnel will be safe, so the rights of the land temple are very small, and the land lord is only the lowest level of immortals. In Journey to the West, everyone has seen the image of the land lord, who is an old man on crutches, and even in the Jade Emperor's peach orchard, there are land lords, and the land lords have their own jurisdictional lots, and they do not interfere with each other.

There are also people who misunderstand that the land lord and the city god in the city god temple are the same person, but in fact, it is not, the city god is the judge in myths and legends.

In the myths and legends of the City God Temple, is the underworld judge, the place to try the souls of the underworld, the city god is one of the judges in the Yama Temple, the rights of the city god, much larger than the land public, the jurisdiction of the city god, that is more than the land I don't know how many times larger. But the City God Temple, quite rare, generally no one will go to worship the City God, will be a little afraid, after all, the City God is a judge of the underworld, this City God is in charge of the world after death, the twelve halls of Yama, that is, there are a total of twelve judges.

In fact, both the city god and the land lord are only myths, and they do not exist in reality, and the city gods and the land lords only appear in myths.

In China's native Taoist system, both the city god and the land are the most basic priesthoods**. The land lord is like the current village official, and the city god is equivalent to the county lord in the past, in comparison, of course, the power of the city god is much greater. The "Land Temple" and "City God Temple" are both temples that manage ghosts.

The city god is the superior of the land. The powers and responsibilities are much greater than the land, and the scope of management is much larger than the land. Where there is a city, there is a city god temple, just as only a city now has a city ** and a mayor.

The world built a city there, and at the same time, a city god temple was built in the city. Now many ancient cities still have the ruins of the City God Temple. The villages and communities under the management of the city all built land temples, and the city god not only governed the land.

It also governs miscellaneous gods such as mountain gods and river gods in the jurisdiction.

The gods enshrined in it are different, they belong to different types of immortals, and the rights are different, so there is no way to compare, I think the rights of the City God Temple are greater.

The scope is different, the responsibilities are different, the abilities are different, the authority is different, and the work effect is different; I think the land lord has more power.

"Land Resources" and "City God Temple" are all virtual godsSince there will be no at all, it can only be mastered according to folk tales and Yinyi** collections. The various versions vary greatly, and since no one has ever seen them, they basically rely on imagination and imitate the structure of the world's political parties to look like institutions. The "temple" and "old city god temple" are all the halls of the deceased in terms of management methods.

The City God's Temple is the superior leader of the farmland. The rights and responsibilities are much larger than those of land resources, and the scope of management methods is much larger than that of land resources.

Only when there is a city can there be an old city god temple, just as only big cities now have city people and mayors. The world has built a fiefdom there, and at the same time, the old city god temple has also been built in the city. Nowadays, many ancient capitals still have the remains of the old city god temple.

Under the law enforcement of urban management, temples are built in villages and communities, and the City God's Temple not only governs land resources. Imitation of the management method structure design, the land resources temple, the city god temple are all management methods of the ghost ghost domain of the unit, at first equipped with the land resources temple temple, and then according to human development, built a fief, then the virtual out of the city god temple, land resources temple temple, is the most basic, <>

The lowest level of departmental management institutions, if you insist on comparison, is equivalent to the village level, and is responsible for local security. In terms of rights, it is natural that the city god temple is large, and the city god is also divided into multiple levels, there are provincial and state city god temples, there are county and town city god temples, the city god has a size, and the rights of land resources and temple are lower than that of the city god temple. If there is a village, there will be a temple of land resources, and if there is an urban area, there will be a temple of the city god.

The land resources community and temple keep the village safe and will not be damaged by evil demons and starving ghosts. The City God Temple also needs to investigate the good and evil of the masses, benefit from the superior leaders, and bear the responsibility to the Lord of Yama, which has the effect of judging rewards and punishments.

This is all made by people, and it seems to come out, which is a bit of feudal superstition and fooling peopleThe land resources temple is in charge of the countryside, the city god temple is in charge of the town, the gods are in charge of the mountain, and the dragon king of the East China Sea is in charge of the water, all of which have their own responsibilities and responsibilities, and there are more sizes. The City God's Temple and the Land Lord are all more basic folk beliefs in our country, and the people's hopes for these two gods are different, and there is no very preferential choice of order, or the size of the right

The difference is that the land is used to worship the Lord of the Land, but the City God Temple is used to worship the Lord of Yama, and I think the power of the Lord of Yama is a little greater.

In ancient times, both were places to worship gods, but the objects were very different, and the places and locations of the two were also different, generally land temples can be built in various rural towns, but the city god temple is different, under normal circumstances, the city god temple is built by the government or private fund-raising, and each city can only build one city god temple. The features are not the same, and they cannot be compared.

Summary. Hello, I am honored to answer for you: The origin of the City God Temple is that the City God originated from the ancient water (God) Yong (City) sacrifice, one of the eight gods of the "Zhou Palace".

"Cheng" originally referred to a high wall built by digging earth, and "God" originally referred to a moat without water. In order to protect the safety of the people in the city, the ancient man-made city built tall walls, towers, gates, moats, and moats. They believed that there were gods in things closely related to people's lives and production safety, so the city and the god were deified as the protectors of the city.

Taoism incorporated it into its own god system, calling it a god who cut off evil, protected the country and protected the state, and governed the souls of the dead. The city god is the god of nature, and where there is a city, there is a city god temple. The earliest Chenghuang Temple is found in the Wuhu Chenghuang Temple built in the second year of Wu Chiwu of the Three Kingdoms (239).

In history, there are records of Tang people Zhang Shuo, Li Deyu, Li Yangbing, Du Mu and other people who sacrificed to the god of the city god.

The city god is the god of nature, and where there is a city, there is a city god temple built on the spine. The earliest Chenghuang Temple is found in the Wuhu Chenghuang Temple built in the second year of Wu Chiwu of the Three Kingdoms (239). In history, there are records of Tang people Zhang Shuo, Li Deyu, Li Yangbing, Du Mu and other people who sacrificed to the god of the city god.

Related information: In the City God Temple, there are alms of money, rice, clothes, quilts, medicines, coffins, etc. every year, and the Fu City God Temple is the largest charity activity on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and there are also small-scale alms on the first and fifteenth days of each month. There are also activities to uphold justice and resolve disputes.

In the old society, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a puppet "Lu opera" on the stage of the Fucheng God's Temple. Because there were many poor people at that time, Jian Bujin had no way to go because he was hiding debts and had a family to repay because of his debts, so he had to go to the City God Temple to watch the "Lu Opera" as a "New Year's Guard". Those who are kind and good at giving to the foundation send people to carry "red envelopes" and quietly give them to those who are poor.
