City God Temple

The city god tallies our good and bad deeds in this life after we die. Hence it is not unusual that his image appears in the Dongyue Temple, dedicated to underworld, nor that these two temples are very close to each other.

When you enter the City God Temple you'll see two large abacuses. These are used to calculate if you have done more good than bad in life. Overhead is large sign with a gold inscription that translates roughly as 'You've come at last'.

The pink slips of paper you often see on the altar are from students asking for help to pass an exam. Yep, school is hell everywhere.
