Of course, there's also a whole bunch of not-so-common but still widely worshipped Ksitigarbha statues, such as the Ksitigarbha of Wealth, Harvest Ksitigarbha, and the Exam Ksitigarbha.
In conclusion, the variety of related Ksitigarbha statues is indeed diverse and colorful, and the only common point among this big bunch of Ksitigarbhas is that they're all called Ksitigarbha, but they have nothing to do with the Ksitigarbha that Zhang Yanhang usually encounters.
But this can be considered a regional feature, which Zhang Yanhang can somewhat understand. He feels it's like General Tso's Chicken, which is completely unheard of in the Empire but is very popular abroad.
Due to thorough localization, aside from the name, nothing else is retained, and even the name itself is somewhat ambiguous. But perhaps it's because of this that it has become very popular locally.
