Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 01
Abstract
Xuan Tian Shang Di is a significant deity within Taoist and Vietnamese folk religion, esteemed for his power, valor, and sanctity. This belief system was introduced from China with the migration of Chinese people and has become established in various regions of Vietnam. In Binh Duong, this belief takes on a unique form within the Hokkien Chinese community (Hoa Phuoc Kien). The Hokkien Chinese community, particularly the Wang clan, has specifically identified Ong Bon with Xuan Tian Shang Di. Over time, this belief has become deeply integrated into the spiritual life of the community and has enriched the local cultural landscape. This study aims to examine the process through which Xuan Tian Shang Di was personified as Ong Bon and to elucidate the development of this belief within the Hokkien Wang clan in Binh Duong.
