Features: This book draws on the principles of predecessors and categorizes deities into three types: those who appeared before the world was divided are called Pre-Heaven True Saints; those who became deities through encountering immortals or practicing cultivation are known as Post-Heaven Immortal Beings; and those who have contributed to the nation, protected the people, or are revered by the masses, as well as deities that evolved from natural worship, are referred to as Folk Deities. Each category is introduced separately. Additionally, to help readers gain a more intuitive understanding of the belief in deities, the book is accompanied by dozens of illustrations.
