About Chen Wu

The classic Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods contains a register of deities. According to Fengshen Yanyi, Yuanshi Tianzun bestows upon Jiang Ziya the Fengshen bang, a list that empowers him to appoint the gods of heaven. Through this power, he elevates the heroes of Zhou and some of their fallen enemies from Shang to heavenly rank, essentially making them gods. This act of deification serves as the central event and inspiration for the novel's title. In some local folktales, the Register of Deities is said to have been left behind by the primordial goddess Nüwa. The register includes 365 gods among the Eight Divisions of Heaven. These figures, upon entering the Fengshen Bang, are granted godhood and are still worshipped in the Taoist pantheon of modern times.
