A Chinese road god. Also known as the Gongshen, the Taoist God, or the Ancestor God. According to legend, it is worshipped as the deity Xiu, the son of Gonggong, or as the son of the Yellow Emperor, Leizu. In folklore, it is thought to have originated from an ancient ritual to exorcise evil spirits (soul-sweeping) against dangers associated with military campaigns and travel.
