History[]
โ | In some mythological texts, Houtu was the ruler of both the earth and the netherworld, known as Youdu. Houtu had an assistant named Tubo, who guarded the gates to Youdu. Thus, Houtu and Tubo both possessed great defensive knowledge, as it was essential that they guard the netherworld from those who would try to infiltrate it or escape it. | โ |
