I am Xiao Mo, a schoolmaster who wants to make Mazu culture more fun, oh no, learn scum.
The Cihu Temple in Jinbaoli, New Taipei City is an influential Mazu temple in northern Taiwan. Speaking of Mazu in the golden bag, there are endless stories.
During the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, the fishermen in Yeliu often lost their way. Later, when I saw a beam of golden light on the Yehliu Beach, the fishing boat successfully found the way home. Fishermen found a statue of Mazu sitting in the sea cave on the shore of Yehliu.
People invited out Mazu and built a grass temple on the bank of Yehliu to enshrine. The original Mazu Temple was created. Because this Mazu face was golden, it was called "Golden Mazu". This golden-faced Mazu miracle has repeatedly appeared and is very effective, attracting a large number of believers to worship.
is located in the Cihu Palace in Jinbaoli, Taiwan.
The rare "Mom in Mom"
1809, Mr. Huang Shijin who lives in the Jinbao donated land to build a temple for Jinmian Mazu, and donated mountains and forests and paddy fields as a temple property. After the completion of the temple, someone suggested that the original statue of Mazu in the golden bag should be enshrined.
Therefore, people enshrine the two statues of Mazu in the temple. Because the statue of Mazu came first, it was called "Auntie", and Mazu with golden face was called "Second Mom."
Since the golden-faced Mazu statue is only eight inches high, people remodeled a statue of Mazu and placed the golden-faced Mazu inside its belly, still called "Second Mother". The "Second Mother" image of
is the rare "Mother in Mother" image in the world. Later, some believers donated the statues of Mazu and gave birth to the "three mothers" and "four mothers". Later, Cihu Palace and other Mazu temples exchanged "ambassadors". "Mom" "Six Mom". This "six mother" was welcomed back from Taoyuan Cihu Palace.
The golden-faced Mazu in the Cihu Palace
A few years ago, the Cihu Palace welcomed back a statue of Mazu from the world’s Mazu Temple, Meizhou Island, Fujian. In addition to the grand parade on Mazu’s birthday on March 23rd of the lunar calendar, the “Second Mother” returns to Yeliu’s mother’s shore on the 16th day of the lunar calendar.
This is the most important day in the golden package. There are incense cases in front of every house on Jinshan Street. Thousands of believers come from all directions, carrying incense and carrying flags.
People dressed in folk costumes, marching forward in battle, walked 14 kilometers to Yehliu Beach, and placed the "Second Mother" in the sea cave, praying to Mazu for safety and happiness.

In May 1895, Japanese troops landed at the bottom of Taiwan, and soon occupied Taipei City. On June 17, the first Governor-General Huashan Ziji announced in Taipei City that "the beginning of the administration". However, what the colonists did not expect was that the day of the "initiation of power" was also the beginning of Taiwan's soldiers and civilians swearing to the death not to be subjugated, and resolutely resisting Japanese colonial rule. The anti-Japanese beacon burned across the mountains and rivers of Taiwan.
One morning, when the Japanese military police was patrolling the street, the anti-Japanese rebels broke out from the surrounding alleys, killing 9 people and slashing and killing 9 people, and the other one fled with injuries. When the Japanese army came to retaliate, the rebels had already retreated to the mountains. The enraged Japanese army set fire to Jinbaoli Street. Only the Cihu Palace and a small number of buildings at the end of the street survived.
On the old street in Jinbaoli today, I think that the building does not have enough sense of age, because the old street was rebuilt after being set on fire by Japanese colonists.
In fact, the Japanese colonists burned more than an old street in Jinbaoli in Taiwan. When they could not conquer the people of Taiwan with a cannon bayonet, they attempted to use the "Imperialization" movement to completely cut off the historical and cultural ties between Taiwan and the motherland.
just, what the invaders don't know is that culture is the gene flowing in the blood, it is the consciousness in life. Like a golden bag"Moms" guarding the palace. They originated from Meizhou, Fujian. In the lives of people on both sides of the strait, as long as people are there, no force can break the kinship of the people on both sides of the strait.
