Who is the fairy with the white beard?

The old man with white beard is a landlord.

The land god looks like a short old man with a white beard. The land god is also called the land god. According to Gan Bao's "Searching for the Gods" in the Jin Dynasty, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Jiang in Moling County was injured and died. During the Three Kingdoms period, people built temples to worship Jiang as a land god. Different dynasties, different places, different land owners. But the same thing is that they are all guardians of peace.

The story of the landlord

There are many legends about the land god among the people, and there are two versions: First, there was an official in the Zhou Dynasty named Zhang Fude, who was clever and filial since childhood. At the age of 36, he was the chief tax collector of the court, honest and clean, diligent and loving the people. After his death, a poor family made a stone house with four big stones to worship, and soon became rich from poverty. From then on, people believed that the land god had infinite power, so they built a temple together and made a golden body to worship it, honoring it as "Fude Shen Zheng".
