God of culture and literature was depicted as a man by the name Zhang Yazi, of a county in Sichuan Province called Zitong. In Taoist, we believe in reincarnations, and God of culture and literature had reincarnated for several times. A notable account of an appearance of him was a leader to against Emperor Fu Jian but had died in that rebellion. Not only been remembered as a warrior, but also a role model of filial. As an essential component of treatment to cure his mother’s illness, he had agreed to cut flesh from his thighs and fed it to his mother. 
He allegedly helps people when they have hardships, saves those who are in trouble, has compassion for the lonely, forgives people's mistakes, and leaves peace and stability everywhere he goes. In general, we believed he is in charge of the elections of village leaders. Therefore, we pray to him especially when students having exams or candidates having upcoming elections.
