Xiaoziye

Xiaoziye

Xiaoziye is a deity venerated in certain regional folk traditions, typically representing a mortal who was deified due to themes related to Filial piety. He is also known as San Ye and is most commonly associated with the celestial retinue of the Heibai Wuchang, the iconic pair of underworld emissaries in Chinese folk religion. Xiaoziye is regarded as the deification of Ding Lan (丁兰), a famous figure from the classic Confucian text The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars (二十四孝), whose story exemplifies the virtue of filial piety.
