In ancient times, heaven and earth lived in separate places. Heaven was the realm of gods and earth was the natural world.
Since the separation of heaven and earth, life has appeared in heaven and nature at the same time.
The life in the heaven is God, and the life in nature is originally grass and trees.
The meaning of God's existence is not consistent with today's human understanding. God is not self-centered, but centered on the common people. As long as there are still common people in nature, God exists for the sake of nature. Therefore, God is not the ruler of nature, but its helper. As the saying goes, Cang Shen wrote:
"In the universe, heaven and earth, the earth is the center and the sky is the ring. The sky is outside and all things are clear to help comfort the creatures on the earth.
So here God is the helper of nature. Rather than rulers.
Purpose: Gods are born to comfort the common people. They are not the rulers of nature, but the helpers of nature. As the saying goes, Cang Shen wrote: "In the universe, heaven and earth, the earth is the center and the sky is the ring. The sky is outside and everything is clear to help soothe the creatures on the earth.
