Leigong, also known as Leishen, is the god of thunder in Chinese mythology, Taoism, and Chinese folk religion. He serves as a divine figure responsible for punishing both earthly mortals who commit secret crimes and evil spirits that utilize Taoist knowledge to harm human beings when ordered by heaven.
In traditional iconography, Leigong is depicted riding a chariot driven by a young boy named A Xiang. He carries specific symbolic tools, including a drum and mallet used to produce thunder, as well as a chisel employed to punish evildoers.
