Di Zhu God
Dizhu (Chinese: 地主神; literally "Earth Spirit") is a spirit in Chinese folk beliefs, which is analogous to Tu Di Gong. Di Zhu God's tablet is inscribed with (middle two rows) "left: The Earth God of Overseas Tang peoples (Overseas Chinese), right: The dragon of five sides & five lands (Fengshui). The side inscriptions mean "The wealth comes from ten thousand directions and the business comes from thousands of miles." It is believed that the Di Zhu God has powers to help gather wealth, and the position of the tablet must be placed properly according to the laws of Feng Shui.

Famous quotes containing the word god:
“All’s vast that vastness means. Nay, I affirm
Nature is whole in her least things exprest,
Nor know we with what scope God builds the worm.
Our towns are copied fragments from our breast;
And all man’s Babylons strive but to impart
The grandeurs of his Babylonian heart.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
