Rushou (Chinese: 蓐收), is a Chinese deity of the autumn season, the element metal, and the west. He is also regarded as the god of divine punishment and execution. Rushou's appearance is described as having a human face, but having tiger claws, white fur, and wielding a battle-axe. A snake hangs from his left ear, and he rides two dragons. He is said to be an assistant deity of Shaohao, though some sources claim he was Shaohao’s son or uncle. As the god of punishment and execution, Rushou once appeared in the dream of Duke Guo, forewarning divine retribution. However, Duke Guo did not reflect on his actions, ultimately leading to the downfall of the State of Guo.
