Huashan Sanlang
Huashan Sanlang is a Chinese deity.
From Baidi (god)
Xiyue Dadi (西岳大帝 "Great Deity of the Western Peak") is the god of Mount Hua and one of the Great Emperors of Five Mountains, identified with Baidi.[1] The belief of Emperor Xiyue originated from the worship of mountains and rivers in ancient China. Among the five great mountains, Mount Hua has long been respected for its proximity to Chang'an, the capital of Han and Tang Dynasties. Emperor Wudi built the first worship temple for him at the foot of Mount Hua, naming the temple Jilinggong Palace, later changed to Xiyue Temple.[2] Xiyue Dadi is the father of Huayue Sanniang and Huashan Sanlang.
From Huayue Sanniang
The earliest records about Sanniang come from the Guang Yi Ji (广异记) in the Tang dynasty, which says that she left after marrying a mortal and giving birth to a child. She is the daughter of the Emperor Xiyue (西岳大帝), one of the Great Emperors of Five Mountains. Her mother is one of the three wives of Huashan (one surnamed Wang, one surnamed Du, and the other surnamed Xiao). She has two elder brothers, Huashan Erlang and Huashan Sanlang.[3]
