Evolved since Tang Dynasty, in the folk culture of divination, a spirit system of "Tai-Sui" has become common practices in Taiwan temples of pacifying "tai-sui", this article based on its modern practices will name it as "Tai-Sui gods." Collected and compared previous literatures, this author has found that a spirit system of "Tai-Sui" had been established since Tang Dynasty and diversified afterwards. In Five Dynasties the system began to change; in early Song Dynasty a dramatic change occurred when more Tai-Sui spirits were brought in. Ming Dynasty was a period of consolidation, which numbers of spirits have been reduced to ten kinds and the spirits recorded in a variety of literature are almost the same. In Qing Dynasty, "Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu", integrating the ancient and modern divinations, has resulted in that the rare Spirits Theory had again been applied in Numerology. In the first half of 20th century, an integrate and relatively stable Tai-Sui gods system is popular in Taiwan, but yet since the 21st century, commercial factors resulted in collapse and radical changes of this system. While mass cultures of Tang Dynasty identified, trends generalized from "Tai-Sui Gods" can be utilized to refer to the literatures written in unknown age. Therefore, the author believes that the part of "Tai-Sui Gods" in "Chisongzi Chapter Calendar" was written after Five Dynasty, and the relevant part of "Zhang Guo Xing Zong" was written between in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
