Both Wikidata and the Chinese Wikipedia article are titled 土行孙, and Wikidata also lists the traditional-character form. It is a name from the novel, so the heading stays Tuxingsun. He is recorded as male.[^wikidata][^zhwiki]\n\n## Background and leaving the mountain\n\nThe Chinese Wikipedia list of characters says he is a disciple of Judge Liusun, no more than four chi tall and unremarkable in looks, but able to travel underground, covering a thousand li in a day. Although he belongs to the Chan school, Shen Gongbao egged him on, and he stole his master's binding rope and elixirs and left the mountain to serve as a subordinate of Deng Jiugong at Sanshan Pass. Deng Jiugong, seeing that he did not look like much, made him only a grain supervisor, and began to use him fully only after he and his daughter had been beaten by the Zhou camp.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Under Deng Jiugong\n\nThe article says Tuxingsun used an iron bar, struck at his opponents' lower bodies by surprise through underground travel, and then caught them with the binding rope. After he captured Nezha and Huang Tianhua, Deng Jiugong, flushed with wine at a banquet, promised him his daughter Deng Chanyu. Yang Jian saw through his magic tool and asked Judge Liusun to come down the mountain and subdue him, and Tuxingsun had to go over to the Zhou. Jiang Ziya then planned things so that his wife Deng Chanyu and his father-in-law Deng Jiugong also joined the Zhou camp.[^zhwiki]\n\n## With the Zhou and his end\n\nAmong the Zhou, Tuxingsun still excelled through underground travel. He fought hard against Zheng Lun, Ma Yuan and others and slipped into the enemy camp to rescue Huang Tianlu when he was taken, though once, after failing in an attempt to steal Yu Yuan's mount, he was caught and nearly beheaded by Jiang Ziya. Advancing to Mianchi county, he met the commander Zhang Kui, who was more skilled in underground travel than he was, and he was killed for being outmatched. He was finally invested as the Earth Mansion star.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Description: character of Investiture of the Gods[^wikidata]\n- Appears in: [[work_cn_q1336310|Investiture of the Gods]][^zhwiki]", "url": "/people/tu-xing-sun.html", "lang": "en", "sourceLang": "zh", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "disambiguation": "Character in Investiture of the Gods", "isFictional": true, "personCategory": "literary character" }, "entities": null, "tags": [ { "id": "tag-fictional-character", "slug": "fictional-character", "name": "Fictional character", "description": "Fictional or literary characters from classic works.", "names": { "ar": "شخصية أدبية", "de": "Literarische Figur", "en": "Fictional character", "es": "Personaje literario", "fr": "Personnage littéraire", "hi": "साहित्यिक पात्र", "id": "Tokoh sastra", "it": "Personaggio letterario", "ja": "文学上の人物", "ko": "문학 인물", "ms": "Watak sastera", "nl": "Literair personage", "pt": "Personagem literária", "ru": "Литературный персонаж", "th": "ตัวละครวรรณกรรม", "tr": "Edebî karakter", "vi": "Nhân vật văn học", "zh": "文学人物", "zh-hant": "文學人物" }, "descriptions": { "ar": "شخصيات خيالية أو أدبية من الأعمال الكلاسيكية.", "de": "Fiktive oder literarisierte Figuren aus klassischen Werken.", "en": "Fictional or literary characters from classic works.", "es": "Personajes ficticios o literarios de obras clásicas.", "fr": "Personnages fictifs ou littéraires d'œuvres classiques.", "hi": "शास्त्रीय कृतियों के काल्पनिक या साहित्यिक पात्र।", "id": "Tokoh fiktif atau sastrawi dari karya klasik.", "it": "Personaggi fittizi o letterari di opere classiche.", "ja": "古典名著に登場する架空または文学化された人物。", "ko": "고전 명저에 등장하는 허구적·문학적 인물.", "ms": "Watak rekaan atau bersifat sastera daripada karya klasik.", "nl": "Fictieve of literaire personages uit klassieke werken.", "pt": "Personagens fictícias ou literárias de obras clássicas.", "ru": "Вымышленные или литературные персонажи классических произведений.", "th": "ตัวละครสมมติหรือเชิงวรรณกรรมจากวรรณกรรมคลาสสิก", "tr": "Klasik eserlerdeki kurmaca veya edebî karakterler.", "vi": "Nhân vật hư cấu hoặc mang tính văn học trong tác phẩm cổ điển.", "zh": "古典名著中的虚构或文学化人物。", "zh-hant": "古典名著中的虛構或文學化人物。" }, "count": 1026 }, { "id": "tag-classics", "slug": "classics", "name": "Classics", "description": "Classic works and novels of pre-modern China.", "names": { "ar": "كلاسيكيات", "de": "Klassiker", "en": "Classics", "es": "Clásicos", "fr": "Classiques", "hi": "शास्त्रीय कृतियाँ", "id": "Karya klasik", "it": "Classici", "ja": "古典名著", "ko": "고전 명저", "ms": "Karya klasik", "nl": "Klassiekers", "pt": "Clássicos", "ru": "Классика", "th": "วรรณกรรมคลาสสิก", "tr": "Klasik eserler", "vi": "Tác phẩm cổ điển", "zh": "古典名著", "zh-hant": "古典名著" }, "descriptions": { "ar": "الأعمال الكلاسيكية والروايات في الصين ما قبل الحديثة.", "de": "Klassische Werke und Romane des vormodernen China.", "en": "Classic works and novels of pre-modern China.", "es": "Obras clásicas y novelas de la China premoderna.", "fr": "Œuvres classiques et romans de la Chine prémoderne.", "hi": "पूर्व-आधुनिक चीन की शास्त्रीय कृतियाँ और उपन्यास।", "id": "Karya klasik dan novel Tiongkok pra-modern.", "it": "Opere classiche e romanzi della Cina premoderna.", "ja": "中国古代の古典的な著作と小説。", "ko": "중국 고대의 고전 저술과 소설.", "ms": "Karya klasik dan novel China pramoden.", "nl": "Klassieke werken en romans uit het premoderne China.", "pt": "Obras clássicas e romances da China pré-moderna.", "ru": "Классические произведения и романы традиционного Китая.", "th": "วรรณกรรมและนวนิยายคลาสสิกของจีนก่อนยุคใหม่", "tr": "Modern öncesi Çin'in klasik eserleri ve romanları.", "vi": "Các tác phẩm và tiểu thuyết cổ điển của Trung Quốc tiền hiện đại.", "zh": "中国古代经典著作与小说。", "zh-hant": "中國古代經典著作與小說。" }, "count": 1077 } ], "relations": [ { "id": "relation_cnworks_depicts_q1336310_q10927869", "fromId": "work_cn_q1336310", "relationType": "depicts", "toId": "person_cn_q10927869", "sourceRefs": [ { "entityId": "work_cn_q1336310", "sourceId": "wikidata" } ], "label": "Related works", "targetId": "work_cn_q1336310", "targetTitle": "Investiture of the Gods", "targetUrl": "/en/works/investiture-gods.html", "incoming": true } ], "mentions": [ { "fromId": "work_cn_q1336310", "fromTitle": "Investiture of the Gods", "fromUrl": "/en/works/investiture-gods.html", "fromType": "work" } ], "versions": [ { "revision": 8, "updatedAt": "2026-11-02T11:25:42+08:00", "message": "当前版本", "hasSnapshot": true, "url": "/en/people/tu-xing-sun/at/8.html" } ], "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "infoFields": [ { "key": "is_fictional", "label": "Fictional", "value": "yes" }, { "key": "person_category", "label": "Person category", "value": "literary character" }, { "key": "disambiguation", "label": "Disambiguation", "value": "Character in Investiture of the Gods" } ], "relationsTotal": 1, "relationCounts": [ { "relationType": "depicts", "incoming": true, "label": "Related works", "total": 1 } ], "mentionsTotal": 1 }
