Why are there aunt gods in Hakka areas in western Fujian?

In the national and folk beliefs, there is a kind of worship called ancestor god, which is to worship ancestors as gods.

Because of the close blood relationship with people with the same surname, they are often regarded as ancestors. Married women often go back to their parents' homes. After her death, her husband's family should inform her family and invite them to inspect the funeral. As for unmarried women, because they live in their own clan all the year round, their relationship with their clansmen is even more extraordinary, and they are regarded as their own family.

Therefore, in the areas of Fujian culture and Hakka culture, the name "Aunt" is often heard and has a high status. In some places, some gods are even called "aunts" and are greatly respected by people.
