In fiction · Journey to the West
Liuding Liujia are Taoist guardian deities, often dispatched by immortals and Buddhas. Zhuge Liang once summoned them to sweep away floating clouds. After Sun Wukong was captured during his havoc in Heaven, Liuding Liujia escorted him to Lord Laozi, but he broke free. During the pilgrimage, Liuding Liujia were ordered to protect Tang Sanzang, once guarded the golden cymbals, and were also summoned by Sun Wukong to carry away children, finally returning their orders with the Jiedi.
History vs. fiction
The Six Ding and Six Jia, Taoist thunder gods, became Buddhist guardians in the book.
The Six Ding and Six Jia were originally guardian deities of the Thunder Department in Daoism. However, in Chapter 007 of "Journey to the West", they, along with the Five Directional Revealers and others, were assigned to supervise and guard Sun Wukong, who was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, reflecting the fusion of Buddhism and Daoism. The original text: "玉帝闻言，即教六丁、六甲将他解下，付与老君。" (Chapter 007 of "Journey to the West")
