BA ZHA
Chinese Insect God
Also known as Ba Ja, Ba Zha Yeh, Bazha, Pa Cha
God of Locust Protection
He defends against plagues of locusts and grasshopper invasions.
This dear old Mongolian general with a splendid record was rewarded in extreme old age with the job of Celestial Scarecrow. Or Scarelocust in this case.
His new uniform included an eagle’s beak, talons and a blue skin, but he was allowed to keep his general’s cloak.
Ba Zha’s image was put on poles and was not always very effective as he was inclined to doze off. But as a Worzel Gummidge sort of God he is regarded with great affection.
