        THE FOLLOWING TEXT commemorates the reconstruction and expansion of the main temple of a local cult in Putian District, Fujian Province, located on China’s southeast coast. The god, known by the time the inscription was composed in 1138 as the Duke of Manifest Kindness (Xianhui hou), was the proprietary deity of a prominent local kin group, the Fang of Baidu, a small village which lay about three miles east of Putian city in the hills edging the fertile flood plain of the Mulan River. Like many prominent kin groups of the area, the Fang had abandoned their original homes, which had been in the hinterland behind Hangzhou, and settled in Putian in the late 800s, a time of widespread unrest that accompanied the fall of the Tang dynasty (618-907).
