Yin Jiao (deity)

For killing Jiang Huan to avenge the death of their mother, Queen Consort Jiang [zh], he and his brother Yin Hong [zh] were sentenced to execution, and were only saved when the passing immortal sages Guang Chengzi and Chijingzi saw what was happening and summoned a tornado to sow confusion while they stole the princes, taking them as their students.

Having no social experience, Yin Jiao accepted Shen Gongbao's suggestion and fought against King Wu's army, contrary to his teacher Guang Chengzi's will.

[4][5][6] Yin Jiao is a malevolent, disaster-bringing god, and Chinese astronomers were said to have paid particular attention to the direction of Tai Sui each year in order to avoid the disasters caused by him.

For example, in Taiping Guangji, there is a tale of a house that was destroyed and a clan being wiped out because the basement was built without believing in the danger of unearthing Tai Sui as the underground flesh (Feng).

In contemporary Taiwan, "pacifying Taisui Xingjun" is one of three religious services protecting against misfortune (along with lighting a secure lamp and worshipping the Big Dipper).
