🌏 About Houtu

Houtu (后土) originates from Chinese mythology and traditional culture, particularly the concept of “黄天后土” — representing the vast sky and the nurturing earth.

Houtu, known as the Earth Deity (后土娘娘), symbolizes:

• Stability — a solid and reliable foundation
• Support — bearing and sustaining all things
• Nurturing — enabling growth and evolution

This project adopts the name Houtu to reflect its purpose:
👉 to serve as a strong, dependable foundation of engineering skills that support the entire project lifecycle.
