Meaning and tradition
Tu Di Gong watches over a particular place: its land, homes, and places of work. The tradition connects new beginnings with acknowledging and respecting the ground on which a community lives.
Paying respect with understanding
Worshippers report the opening of a shop, a move, or the start of building work and ask that people in the area live and work in harmony. Observance is simple and considerate of others at prayer.
