Ideas of Immortal and Deities which subsisted at one time in T'ang's society created two worlds of Josses, Immortal World and Deities World, in people's conception. Along with the development of Chinese society and concept, especially with Taoism's promotion, that two different worlds intergraded together. Attributing to this influence, Idea of Josses also grew gradually. Its composing which included Heaven Divinities, Subterranean Gnomes and Earth Ghosts transformed bit by bit to a structure which was constituted of wonder land and lower world.
