His shrines are small affairs compared with the temples erected to other deities, and if he appears in a larger temple at all it is only in a secondary, supporting role. But just because of his humble status, the earth god is closer and more accessible to the people.
他的廟小，比不上其他神祇，即使被奉祀於大廟中，也屬陪襯的地位，只有少數戴官帽的土地公廟，才算稍具規模。
