The lady who is worshipped here, Lady Mazhu, was born the first year of Jianlong of the Song Dynasty, March 23, 960AD as Lin Moniang. She was very smart and always worshipped gods and recited religious texts with the intention to help poor people. After she died in 987 AD, it is said that her spirit often reappeared in the ara to safeguard ships as they traveled by. The temple was built during the first year after her death and was very small. Each time the temple received a title from the court, it would expand and its activities would also increase. Many people would also travel to the temple during the birthday of Mazhu to burn incense and pray to her. Mazhu is extremely important to the people of Taiwn and thousands of Taiwanese also enjoy coming to the Lady Mazhu Temple every year. This has been a tie that helps link the two sides of the straits.
