Lords of the Three Mountains

China

The Lords of the Three Mountains originate as guardian deities from the Jieyang region of Guangdong. They do not refer to “people,” but rather to the deified spirits of three mountains within Jieyang — Jin Mountain (巾山), Ming Mountain (明山), and Du Mountain (獨山). This is a prominent mountain‑god tradition in eastern Guangdong, including the Teochew (Chaozhou) and Meizhou areas.
