History
The worship of Te-lin is secondary to the ancestral cult and that of Têgh, but there is no consensus when or where his worship originated. By the start of the Common Era, he was worshipped in a central cult in Dringh and in peripheral cults in at least nine other locations, one of them being Tsjinh. Some scholars have postulated that Te-lin may be a deity created by the conflation of certain remarkable ancestors and traits from Steppe gods.
