The Supreme Mother of the Earth is the god who rules the mountains and rivers of the earth, juxtaposed with the Jade Emperor God who rules the heavens.

The land of the Houtu Emperor is only the mother of the earth, the mother of the earth, and the gods are the highest. The so-called Hou Tu in the so-called "Emperor Tianhou Tu" refers to the "Mother Earth". Commonly known as "Houtu Empress". The term "Houtu" refers to the mother of the earth.

Houtu was revered as "the sect of the gods of the world and the most respected god of the earth" in the Song Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the emperor would come to Wanrong Houtu Temple to hold a big ceremony every three years. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, expanded the Fenyin Houtu Temple in the fourth year of Yuanding, in 113 BC, and designated it as a national shrine as a place to visit. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once offered sacrifices to Houtu six times, and left here the "Autumn Wind Ci", which is an eternal poetry. The classic building in Wanrong Houtu Temple is named after the Qiufeng Tower. After Emperor Wu, the emperors of the Han Dynasty worshipped at Houtu Temple 11 times. In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong Li Longji came here three times during the Kaiyuan period to worship and expand the temple. At the time of Song Zhenzong, the Houtu ancestral hall was expanded according to the highest level of sacrificial buildings. After the completion of the entire ancestral temple, it will be 999 acres, and it is known as the crown of the temples in Hainei.

It has been more than 1800 years since the people of the past dynasties paid respects and the incense was flourishing.
