Although a Chinese deity, there are people from other regions around China who also worship him. Could/should the alternate names for Erlang be in this article? I know his Vietnamese equivalent is Nhị Lang Thần (According to the Vietnamese Wikipedia article). I am sure the Japanese and Koreans also have their own name for this deity. Could/should this information be added to the entry? - Hanafubuku ( talk) 02:35, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Absent a reply, I'll attempt to make the article similar to the format used for the Monkey King / Sun Wukong. - Hanafubuku ( talk) 16:46, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
"In Chinese belief, Erlang will punish unfilial children by striking them with thunder strike as a punishment from Erlang and his black dog, hence the Chinese parent saying "Being smiten by lightning for being unfilial and ungrateful" towards unruly children."
Is this correct? Shouldn't it be the Thunder God - who is an entirely different person - who punishes sinners (primarily those who wastefully throws away food - a major sin in ancient China where famines were common) by striking them with his thunder? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.90.255.63 ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 6 January 2007.
