Where does Thành hoàng worship in Vietnam originate?

According to Đinh Khắc Thuân (2014), Thành hoàng worship in Vietnam has deep roots in Thành hoàng worship in China, and also originates from the worship of spirits widespread among the Vietnamese to remember those who contributed to the village and to seek the deity's protection. The name Thành hoàng originally meant the deity protecting a citadel in China, and on entering Vietnam it became Thành hoàng làng, the patron deity of the village tied to the đình. The time when it was introduced and became a form of worship in Vietnam still has many different explanations.
