The name is not Zhang Lang but Zhang Dan or Zhang Ziguo. Someone misread guo2 as "lang". It's the dan1 of jian3 dan1.

Merger

I do not think this article should be merged. Although they are similar, there are significant cultural differences that differentiate the two. For an example examine Zeus and Jupiter (mythology), they are the same gods and serve the same purpose but by two different cultures.Righteousskills (talk) 18:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

in the contrary, I think that the articles should be merged :) because Ong Tao is just another alias for Zao Jun the kitchen God, from Vietnamese. I suggest that Ong Tao article should become a sub-chapter of the Kitchen God, but don't erase the article, just {[redirect]} it. Both of them can not be compares with Zeus and Jupiter, for Zeus is the original god of Greece (thunder, sky, father, and personage) while Jupiter is a syncretised form of Zeus and the native highest deity (Thanis or something; sky, rain, fertility, father, and merely personage until much later ages).Okkisafire (talk) 01:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

They should definitely NOT be merged. The Vietnamese kitchen god is not identical to the Chinese one (though obviously there is a historical relationship due to China's long occupation of Vietnam). In Vietnam the Kitchen God has taken on distinctive Vietnamese features, and has been blended with elements of Vietnamese folk belief. One of the major differences is that in Vietnam the KG is three persons in one, in China only two persons in one. There are also other important differences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.190.128 (talk) 08:13, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Even Vietnamese Wikipedia uses only one article to show Kitchen God. Father Christmas may also have many different characteristics in Orthodox and Catholic. I found no reason to "make" a difference.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:57, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Privy Goddess

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

May I ask about the Purple/Privy Goddess? I never heard about that goddess before, neither my friends nor our families. I asked my mother whether she knew about this goddess or not, and she said to me: "do you say about "privy", eh? the goddess of privy? are you sure that she lives in our toilet?" So I began to feel curious whether this goddess is really exist (in chinese culture) or just a made-up goddess by the feminist (without negative connotation)? Thank you for the explanation :) Okkisafire (talk) 01:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
