Which Chinese god is known as the God of Thunder?

The Chinese god known as the God of Thunder is Lei Gong.

Lei Gong, also called Leishen, is the thunder deity of Chinese folk religion, mythology, and Taoism. His name can be understood as “Duke of Thunder” or “Lord of Thunder.” In traditional stories, he is not simply a personification of a storm: he acts as a divine enforcer who punishes guilty mortals and harmful spirits when commanded by Heaven.

Art commonly portrays Lei Gong as a fearsome blue-faced creature with wings, claws, and a birdlike beak. He carries a drum and mallet to produce thunder, and some depictions also give him a chisel or other weapon for punishing wrongdoers. These attributes distinguish him from the other weather deities in the answer choices.

Lei Gong works alongside several specialized figures. His wife, Dian Mu, governs lightning and uses flashing mirrors; Yu Shi brings rain, Feng Bo controls wind, and Yun Tong raises clouds. The familiar idea that lightning appears before thunder is reflected in stories where Dian Mu helps Lei Gong see his target before he strikes.
