FORM
A fairy sits on the altar,
holding a steering wheel to protect people's safety.
A simple mural tells passers-by
that if they don't come to worship,
there will be driving accidents.
SPACE
Because Grandma Temple opened the authority of making gods to the contractor,
the contractor developed various new gods according to the market demand.
The God of chariot is the most popular new God in the local area.
The folk God making combines the ancient belief tradition with the new era's belief demand
and expands the diversity of gods in category and form.
LOCATION
Grandma Temple, Matou village, Yi County, Baoding, Hebei Province, China.
