Fu Jian's History of Tao and Society
According to the records in the remnant volume of Mountain Country, the society (Heheshe) originated from this incident: the ancestor of Qin held an archery with a cake as the target all the way. During the filming, the cake turned into a hundred birds and flew to the nearby mountains. When Iluju reached the top of the mountain, he found hundreds of birds turned into rice. Iluju thought it was a miracle, built a shrine, and gave the word "inari" (Millian. It's the beginning of Miriam. It's been four years. Because of the powerful influence of Qin family and the spread of tantric Buddhism at that time, the whole country accepted the belief of Mirian. After the Middle Ages, Millian God, developed by industry and commerce, was regarded not only as an agricultural god, but also as an industrial god, a commercial god, a guardian of houses and an all-powerful god of wealth. It is very popular not only in rural areas, but also among scholars and martial artists.
During the Meiji period, gods and buddhas were separated. Most shrines worship Ukanomitama.
